Well, I did okay. I messed up, but somehow I still came out ahead. So, I left putting out a little more out of pocket than I like to do and a bit confused and happy. So, here is what I got today between two separate transactions......
My kiddos wanted to be in the picture too. As you can probably tell, they were sampling some of the dark chocolate Hershey Kisses. Blakey says he likes my kisses. ;)
Okay, here is what I got in transaction #1......
Dark Chocolate Hershey Kisses X3 $2.50 each (I messed up. I thought these were on sale for $2 and part of the +Up Rewards, but they are NOT)
-$0.75/2 printable X1
-$1/2 VV X1
- B2G1 free from last week's insert
=$3.25, making them $1.08 (Not great, but okay I guess)
Hershey Holiday Kisses X3 $2 each X3
-$0.75/2 printable X1
-$1/2 VV X1
-B2G1 free from last week's insert
=$2.25, making them $0.75! (much much better, PLUS I got back one $1 +Up Reward)
John Frieda Travel Size $1.49 each X3
(I am going to submit for the $5 SCR on this, making a little bit of moolah)
= $4.47
Pam Cooking Spray $3 each X4
-$1/1 from Safeway Coupon Book X4
=$8, making them $2 (not good at all, but it worked out in the end)
Airborne $4.99
-$2/1 Rite Aid Coupon (Thanks Coupon Posse')
-$1.50/1 printable
=$1.50 (Plus, I got back a $1 +UP Reward)
-$5/25
-$12 in +UP Rewards
TOOP was $0.22! Plus, I got back $3 in +UP Rewards for the Pam, $1 +UP Reward for the kisses, and $1 +UP Reward for the Airborne. Then, I will submit for the $5 SCR for the John Frieda hair care. This was a pretty good money maker, but I later figured I could have used another $0.75/2 for the other two Hershey Kisses. Oh well, $0.22 is darn good in my book.
Okay, now onto transaction #2.......

My TOOP was more than what I like, but it was okay. I paid $2.67 before tax. After tax my TOOP was $4.56, which I put on a RiteAid gift card, so no money out of pocket, but still a little more than what I like to spend on my RiteAid purchases. Plus, I got back one $10+Up Reward for the Garnier, three $1 +Up Rewards, and to my confusion but satisfaction a $5 +Up Reward that says from Maybelline. I have not one clue as to how I got the Maybelline $5 +Up Reward, but I like it. It really was mine as it was in the middle of all of my rewards, but I'm not sure what triggered it. Any of you have a clue? So, I still made money on this purchase and was very happy, but yet a little confused.
Okay, happy shopping!
Cheryl
