Rite Aid

I'm still under fuel protest, but I had to carry the maw-in-law to the doctor today, so I did some shops while I was out anyway.

I don't think I did as well as I could have, utilizing the $3/$15 coupons I had. Instead of using them on the stuff I was already getting free/profit, I used them on the SCR item. I made profit on the SCR item, but could have made the whole $3.00 profit using it on the free/profit items. If I had needed the SCR item, it would have been a good deal, but I didn't.
Oh well, I guess I can say I turned some +UP over to cash.

I got about (8) more receipts to do the surveys to get more $3/$15. Next time I will only get SCR item if I can't find enough free/profit stuff to get up to $15.00.
(Someone posted at SD about the "new" survey limit was 6...I need to check to see what they meant by that.)

There were also some items like the Nature Bounty and Osteo Bi-flex et.al. that has Video Values coupons I didn't take the time to get/print that would have made me mo'money. Ima slacker :-(

All three stores I visited today had this Jessie's Girl nail polish on clearance for .74 each. It's the bottles that are retangle, with retangle lids, so the whole thing is retangle. They have other JG nail polish with the same names, but different UPC and the bottles are different. They are kind of retangle, but the lid is thinner and sticks up more.
Anyway if you buy (2) you pay $1.48 and then get $2.00 +UP back, for .52 profit/2.
I ended up with (64) of the little suckers; I believe my total profit was $16.64.
