Rite Aid: Paid Nothing for $19.96 Worth of Merchandise!

Now that the office supply stores are no longer running their awesome "back to school" sales, my focus has shifted back to the drug store deals.

I went into Rite Aid with no +UP rewards and ended with none as well.  I didn't want to end up with any +UP rewards, so my plan was to "roll" any +UP rewards that were generated into the next transaction and ultimately use them up with the third transaction.  Here's what I did:

Transaction #1
Bayer Aspirin 20-36 ct., at $2.99

Coupons used
-$2 off Bayer Advanced Aspirin product, RP 9/11
-$1 off Bayer Advanced Aspirin, (Rite Aid coupon) printable

Subtotal was -$.01 (cashier had to adjust down the Rite Aid store coupon to $.99 to make the subtotal zero)

Out of pocket = Zero + tax

+UP generated
$1 +UP Bayer Aspirin 20-36 ct



Transaction #2
Caldesene baby powder $4.99

Coupons used
-$1 off Caldesene baby powder printable
-$1 +UP from transaction #1

Out of pocket = $2.99 + tax

+UP generated
$4 +UP Caldesene baby powder


Transaction #3
(2) GE soft white light bulbs, 2 pk - $2 each = $4

Coupons used
-$4 +UP from transaction #2

Out of pocket = Zero + tax

Filed receipt from transaction #3 online at RiteAid.com to get a $3 Single Check Rebate from the two packs of light bulbs.  And that offsets the $2.99 out of pocket from transaction #2!
