Hi- I can't wait to do the picture deal. Thanks so much for letting us know about that. Also- can you explain the sharpie deal and how that is a moneymaker. I don't think my brain is working right and I want to do the deal but I need to understand it. Thanks so much!! Ashley
Wanted to let you know about my PROFIT run at Rite Aid last night (you remember I mentioned I wasn't doing so hot)...

As I was checking out, the lady that was waiting patiently behind me bought one of those Charlie Brown trees. She didn't have a Wellness card, so, I went ahead and gave her my card so she could get the discount. It took her from $10.70 to $8.74. As I proceeded to leave, the cashier told me not to leave because I had an Up Reward going to print. Sure enough, a $2 printed. All for my little extra effort in trying to do a good thing.
Ashley, the Sharpie deal isn't really a money-maker on it's own. Both pkgs. cost a total of $13.48, use $5/$25, pay $8.48 and get $8.00 +UPs. So .48 after coupons and +UPs.
I was combining mine with (2) bottles of Revlon nail polish NOT on clearance, and using (2) of the $3.00 Rite Aid Revlon nail care coupons.
When you buy two of the nail polish not on sale and use two coupons, they end up costing $1.18 oop. Then you get a $4.00 +UP.
So that's a $2.82 profit which I figure covers the remaining .48 of the Sharpies and some or all of the tax.
The $25 gift card was a wash, I spent $25 +UPs on them.
YMMV if your store will allow you to use two RA Revlon q's in the same trans, or to buy gift cards with +UPs.
The +UPs says it can't be used on Prepaid cards. If you have one of the exp.12/31 $5/$25 q's, read in the stipulations and it says can't be used on Prepaid cards or Gift Cards, so you can maybe argue that they are two different things.
Looks like it picked up for you, 3Gakids! Great shops!
I've got my Garnier deal(s) planned and coupons, but it's pretty much at the bottom of my to-do list, if I can't find other deals to do.
I think I'm done with the Sharpies so I'll probably look to do the Garnier tomorrow or the next day.
That was pretty cool you got rewarded for doing a good deed! I know you didn't need or expect a reward, that made it even sweeter :-)
Again always rocking the deals--again wish I had more than one Rite Aid in a 60 mile radius. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks for the help. I did the Sharpie and the photo frame deal this morning. My husband was so excited about the sharpies. Thanks for posting your deals- I always love seeing what you get for nothing!
