$.58 at Rite Aid!

I still had a bunch of Up Rewards to spend in store, and here is how I used them:

Crest toothpaste was on sale for $3 and generating a $3 Up Reward.  I bought 4 (on 2 cards) and used 4 $.75 off coupons.  Deodorant was on sale 2/$8 generating $3 Up Reward on 2, and I bought 4 and used 2 $2/2 coupons.  The rulers were on sale for $.29.

My first transaction was 2 toothpaste and 2 deodorant.  The total after coupons was $10.50, but I had $11 in Up Rewards to use, so I bought the 2 rulers to bring up the total.  After rewards my total before tax was $.08.  I also earned $9 in Up Rewards (3 for each of the toothpaste and $3 for 2 deodorants).

My second transaction was 2 toothpaste.  I had $7 in rewards for this card.  After coupons the total was $4.50, so I used $4 in rewards to get to $.50.  I got 2 more $3 Up Rewards.

My final transaction was 2 more deodorant.  They were $6 after coupons, and I used the remaining $3 Up Rewards from last week plus one $3 reward from the toothpaste purchase.  My total before tax was $0!!  And I was left with $3 more Up Rewards from the deodorant.

So the grand total was $.58, and I left with another $15 in Rewards.  Great deal!!
