Today's Drugstore Deals! Cost: +$10.02 Money Maker!

I headed out this morning shortly after Jack got on the bus. It's the end of the week and I figured I'd make one last go around to the drug stores. Boy, did I ever score!

First up, I hit Rite Aid. I read last night on Hip2Save that there was a good unadvertized deal on candy - and with Halloween at the end of this month and Jack's birthday party next month, I thought it would be a good idea to stock up. Here's how the transactions went down.

Transaction #1

Purchased:

(4) Crest toothpastes ($2.69 each)

(4) Oral B toothbrushes ($2.69 each)

= $21.52

Used:

$4/20 Rite Aid Video Values Coupon

(2) $1/2 Crest Toothpaste coupons (9/26 P&G insert)

$1 Oral Care Wellness coupon

$13.34 +UP rewards (from earlier this week)

= $20.34

Paid $1.18 Out of Pocket, Received $21.52 in +UP Rewards on my receipt! A $7.00 Money Maker!

They didn't have a very good selection of the candy I was looking for, so I pocketed my UP rewards and headed to the Rite Aid up the road. (We seem to have them on every corner here!)

At that store, I purchased:

(6) bags of Jolly Ranchers 2/$5

(4) bags of Star Bursts 2/$5

(2) bags of Skittles2/$5

= $30.00

Used:

$5/25 Rite Aid Coupon (this PDF expires on October 31 and can be printed as many times as you want.)

$21.52 UP rewards from my last transaction

$2.69 UP rewards from earlier in the week

= $29.21

Paid: $.79 out of pocket and received $30 in UP rewards on my receipt! This transaction was a $5 money-maker!

Basically, I spent $1.97 in cash today and Rite Aid paid me $12 in UP rewards for taking this merchandise off their hands. And it's all stuff my family will use and enjoy - especially the candy, which is so expensive! I will use a bag or two for Halloween and the rest will be saved for Jack's birthday party goody bags.
