Rite Aid Diaper Trip

My attempt at doing this diaper deal at Toys R Us/ Babies R Us was unsuccessful, as my store was out of the $10 boxes of diapers.  I'm going to have my dad check out the store near him tomorrow...

So I moved on to next best... Rite Aid's Tugaboo deal.
Here's how I did...

Transaction 1:
L'Oreal Advanced Haircare Shampoo 3.99 (gold price)(used 2/1 from 2/17RP and 2/1 RA coupon from mailer)=free
Schick Hydro 5 Mens Disposable Razor 8.79 (gold price)(used 4/1 2/24SS and 4/1 in ad)=.79
2 Tugaboo diapers B1G150%off 8.99 and 4.49=13.48
Paid with 13 ups and 2.56 including tax
Received 5 ups from Tugaboos

Transaction 2:

Schick Hydro 5 Mens Disposable Razor 8.79 (gold price)(used 4/1 2/24SS and 4/1 in ad)=.79
2 Tugaboo diapers B1G150%off 8.99 and 4.49=13.48
Paid with 13.98 in ups and 1.53 including tax
Received 5 ups from Tugaboos

Transaction 3:
Schick Hydro 5 Womens Razor 9.59 (gold price)(I didn't have any more men's coupons so this was a little bit more)(used 4/1 2/24SS and 4/1 in ad)=1.59
Viva paper towels=6.97 sale price (needed paper towels and had ups expiring today)
2 Reach Floss 1.59 each (used 1/2 IP at coupons.com)
Paid with 10 ups and 2.32 including tax
Received 10 ups from buying the razors (spend $25 get $10 deal) and 1 catalina from Reach.

The razor deal turned into a $6.83 money maker, but that's not figuring tax.  Still a good deal.

Transaction 4 on different card... this one is only silver
4 Tugaboo diapers B1G150%off 8.99 and 4.49=13.48+13.48=26.96
Goldfish box 1.00 (used .50 peelie)
Paid with 10 ups and 1 catalina from last transaction and 6.70
Received 10 ups from Tugaboos

Not the best deal ever, but stocked up on diapers for a while and got rid of all the ups expiring today.  The saddest part was I believe I saw a woman a few people ahead of me in line buying just 1 pack of Tugaboos. Missing out on a decent diaper deal :(

Using Up Some +Up Bucks

Got this idea from Frugalsuz.  I've been swimming in +up bucks lately so I decided to buy a Duracell MyGrid Power Skin at Rite Aid because it's 26.99 with my 10% wellness discount and I will submit for $25 SCR.  Hopefully I can sell it on ebay for a few bucks :)  I don't even know what is it, exactly...  LOL

So happy that I'm ALMOST at 20% wellness discount.  Does anyone know how long the discount will last?  Will it all reset at the beginning of the new year?  I hope not!

Squeaky Clean Kids... Thanks to Rite Aid

Have I mentioned how much I love Rite Aid lately?

Transaction 1:

Transaction 2 - not pictured, but basically a repeat of Transaction 1.

I tried to use a +up the other day but it was cutting into the tax so the register didn't accept it.  I tried to use it today but because it had been scanned the other day, the register said it was already used.  The manager looked at me suspiciously, but punched something into the register and accepted it.  I really hope Rite Aid fixes this glitch soon.  Is anyone else having problems with this?

Making Money on Air Wick at Rite Aid

My fussy cat loves Purina Friskies pouches of cat food.  Won't touch any other type of wet cat food.  He's also allergic to salmon and beef makes him throw up.  Rite Aid and Petsmart are the only places I have found that sell the individual pouches of cat food.  Everywhere else sells a variety pack which includes one or two of the types my cat can't eat.  So off to Rite Aid to turn air fresheners into cheap cat food...

Transaction 1:
7 Air Wick i-motion kits 4.99 each (used 7 4/1 from 8/29 SS and 1/1 Airwick vv)
used 5/25
subtotal: .93
total w/ tax: 3.32 on gc, received $10 +up


Transaction 2:
10 pouches of friskies .89 each
2 biotrue 4.49 each (used 2 2/1)
1 alpo 1.25
1 c.booth honey almond body butter 4.99*
used 5/25
used 10+up, 1+up, and 2+up
subtotal: 2.12
w/ tax: 2.93 on gift card, received 2 4+up for biotrue
*I realized right after I paid that I forgot to use the 5/1 c.booth in-ad coupon that I was holding...  Those of you who shop with kids totally understand how this can happen, right?  Anyway, I told the cashier and she gave me $5 cash back.  Thanks! :)

Watch Carefully When +Ups Are Scanning at Rite Aid

Grabbed a few things at Rite Aid yesterday in what was supposed to be a quick trip.  But my total seemed really high, and then I realized that 6 +up bucks that I had given the cashier were not anywhere to be found on my receipt.  I was sure they were scanned because :I saw her do it, but she also scanned a bunch really quickly.  The cashier and supervisor played around with the register for a LONG time before deciding how to handle it.  They ended up just giving me $6 in cash.  So I learned my lesson and now have to hand over each +up buck separately and watch to make sure the amount is deducted.  Don't you hate these games we have to play?

More Money in My Purse Than When I Left!

Slim pickings at Walgreens today...  Wanted to get some items that are part of the 4 day sale, but nothing was marked, and I didn't see anything about it in my ad.  Was it regional?  I didn't feel like having an item scanned to check so I just skipped it.  When I went to check out, the male cashier I've never seen before looked at my Reach coupons and said, "you printed these from the internet???" with an astonished tone to his voice.
