Rite Aid

My totals are a bit skewed because the register ate one of my receipts and I can't remember how much I spent in that transaction. The trans right after it was the same, but rather than returning/reringing the first trans to get my +UPs to print, she just took the amount off of the item in the next trans. She took $5.00 off the Conair hairdryer, $2.00 off the Clearasil, and $1.00 off the candy bars. Saved my $6.00 +UPs I was going to spend, but then it wouldn't accept my $2.00 off the coffee coupon, so I really didn't do as good, but I'm not about to pizz off my coupon-friendly cashier.

My totals:
$138.00 +UPs Spent
$0.34 + 5.64 tax = $5.98 oop
$ 48.00 +UPs Earned
$ 95.00 in Gift Cards

So everything pictured above cost me $0.98 cents.
But I maybe earned another $20.00 GoS, so maybe not.

$2.39 DOG playing cards
Copying notes this morning, I had read that some playing cards priced $2.99 were included in the items giving +UPs back. Since the paper hanging up said it gave the +UPs on item 4.99 and above, I wasn't sure if the +UPs others were getting had been a mistake, or if it had been fixed. So I thought I'd buy one thing to try it out.  The wiki listed Harley Davidson, OCC, and I swore I had read DOG cards. I even looked at my notes again and still saw DOG. But then when I didn't get the +UP, I read my notes again, and nope, no DOG. Only thing I can figure is my brain processed OCC funky. Just weird that I didn't even know there was such a thing as DOG cards, I thought I read it, and then go to the store and see DOG cards.

Even after spending $121.00 +UPs, I still had $30.00 +UPs left to spend (expiring 12/25).
Before I left the parking lot, I remembered I was supposed to get milk, so I went back inside. They had (3) jugs, so I got them all. Remembered I needed eggs, too, so I got the (3) dozen they had. Fritos were on sale for $1.88, a good price, so I grabbed a couple bags of those.
By then I was up over $15.00, and hated to not go ahead and try to reach $25 so I could use a $5/$25. I started to get more Tics Tacs, but then saw the Motrin coupons in my coupon-keeper and remembered about those, so I went to look for them. They had (5) boxes, so I got them all.
By my original figurings, I should have spent $14.66 + tax, and got back $15.00 +UPs, making my milk, eggs, and Fritos pretty much free!
But the eggs rang up more than they were priced, so I ended up spending $17.00 +UPs, $1.18 oop, and got $15.00 +UPs back, so my milk, eggs, and Fritos cost $3.18.
Can't complain about that!

I still have $12.00 +UPs to spend by Saturday, so I guess I'm not done yet.
