Rite Aid

So I'm trying to get back into the groove of Rite Aid's Rebates and such. All the BOGO's, overage, rebates...it's pretty confusing, so I'm hoping I end up enough to buy me a wig to cover the bald spots I'm going to have from tearing my hair out, lol. How come I'm not a bit better with numbers even after a year of this?

Last week I started going for the Rebate #551: $35.00 Visa Gift Card wyb $100.00 of qualifying P&G products.
Last week Olay was on sale BOGO 1/2 off, and there was/is Olay MIR's, and Olay is a qualifying P&G item.

This week started the Rebate #552: $25.00 Rite Aid Gift Card wyb $50.00 qualifying Healthy Heart products.
Several of the items that qualify for the Healthy Heart rebate is on sale BOGO this week, and there are good coupons making them free/nearly free/free with overage.

So I get the item free or nearly free, while building towards a free $25.00 Gift card, and it gets my total up to $20.00+ so I can use a $5/$20 coupon, to go towards the cost of buying Olay Quench lotion.
The Quench lotion runs between $5.99-$7.99 (I get the $7.99 bottle when I can). There's a $2.00 Olay lotion coupon (1/17 P&G, I think?). Then $7.99 goes towards the P&G $35.00 Visa Card, AND there's a MIR for Free Quench Body lotion (good only through Friday 1/29).
