Rite Aid

I went to my favorite Rite Aid, so my first RA shop went great:

$10.00 Zegerid
$6.49 Garnier Nutroniste Wipes
$6.49 Garnier Nutroniste Face something
$6.29 Motrin 20ct.
$2.99 Oral B Satin Floss
$3.00 Oreos
$3.00 Chip Ahoys

-5/25
-5.00 Garnier in-ad q x 2
-2.00 Garnier Vv q x 2
-1.00 Garnier insert MQ x 2
-3.00 Motrin in-ad q
-1.00 Motrin Vv q
-3.00 Motrin insert MQ
-3.00 Zegerid in-ad q
-3.00 Zegerid Vv q
-3.00 Zegerid 7/18 SS
-1.00 Oral B Satin Floss (Beeps; why?)

Total $.26 + 1.76 tax = $2.02
Rec'd $7.00 Zegerid, $1.50 Oral B, $2.00 Motrin, $3.00 Garnier
{$12.98 towards SCR #555 Skincare}
= $11.48 Profit

The next Rite Aid is one I don't have too much luck at and prefer to not go in, but I had planned to get alot of the Zegerid this week and figured it'd go out of stock fast so I didn't want to pass up the chance to get one while I was passing a RA anyway.
I said, I will only get the Zegerid, Motrin, and OralB. Even if they refused one of my Motrin coupons I was still coming out to the good.
But then I saw the SM wasn't there, the SS that I like was, and a Pharmacy tech was running the register. PT's are usually easy, so I decided to push my luck and go for the Garnier deal.
For this reason I did not get the OralB floss with the beeping coupon, not wanting to draw any undue attention to my coupons.

It did end up going mostly okay. She marked down my Garnier Video Values coupon, saying she had to so my total wouldn't go negative. I told her I had already figured it up so my total wouldn't go negative, I know they can't pay me money. She said well, some people do. Not I. She still wouldn't give me full credit on those coupons, but took all the other ones.
So I lost out on about $1.42 from the coupon adjustment, but okay, whatever.

Then I pay, get my receipt, and NO +UP REWARDS!!! Not a single one.
Did they start limiting it to one deal per card???

She wanted to void it and try ringing it all separately, which, for obvious reasons, I couldn't go for. So the SS comes and she calls another store and someone apparently tells her she had to void and re-ring it all.
Which I'd really prefer not happen at this point, after having barely gotten most of my coupons thru the first time. I said if you void it and re-ring it, it's still not going to print them, is it?
Then she said "they" told her they were having the same trouble with their machine and they were telling people to call the Customer Service and they would send them in the mail.
So I said okay, I would do that. Took my purchases and got the heck out.

$10.00 Zegerid
$6.29 Garnier Nutroniste Wipes
$6.29 Garnier Nutroniste Face something
$5.99 Motrin 20ct.
$3.00 Oreos
$3.00 Fig Newtons
$2.99 Milk

-5/20
-5.00 Garnier in-ad q x 2
-1.29 Garnier Vv q x 2
-1.00 Garnier insert MQ x 2
-3.00 Motrin in-ad q
-1.00 Motrin Vv q
-3.00 Motrin insert MQ
-3.00 Zegerid in-ad q
-3.00 Zegerid Vv q
-3.00 Zegerid 7/18 SS

Total $1.98 + 1.92 tax = $3.90
Rec'd NOTHING!
{$12.58 towards SCR #555 Skincare}
= $3.90 oop

Grand Total $7.58 profit {Should have been more like $21.00 profit!)
