My Rite Aid Trip 1/12/12

Here is a rundown of my latest Rite Aid Trip. I'll spare you all from a picture of potentially embarassing items, to emphasize the bigger point of showing how much I saved.

What I Bought:

- 1 BenGay Cold Therapy 4 oz.                                                                  $8.99
-2 x BenGay Pain Gel 2oz.          $4.94 each (regularly $5.49)                   $9.88
-3 x StayFree Overnight pads      $2.50 each (regularly $3.99)                   $7.50  
-3 x StayFree Regular Thin pads  $2.50 each (regularly $3.99)                   $7.50
                                                                                         Total                $33.87

I Used the Following Coupons:
-received $.90 discount on the Cold Therapy (I get 10% off all regularly priced items in store)
-$2 +UP from last trip
-$3/1 BenGay Cold Therapy 
-2x$2/1 Bengay coupon (SS 1/8/12 #2)
-3x$2/1 Bengay Rite Aid coupon (from the weekly ad)
-2 x $.50 peelies on Stayfree (I didn't even notice these!)
-3 x BOGO Free Stayfree coupons (SS 1/8/12) , took off $2.50 each so $7.50 total
-3 x $1/2 Stayfree Rite Aid coupon (from the weekly ad)

Total After Coupons:  

                                   $6.47 + $2.54 tax = $9.11
I then received a $10 +UP reward for the Buy $30 Get $10 +UP promotion (see this weeks Rite Aid post)


Retail Value: $54
OOP:           $9.11 Including tax
Got Back     $10+UP
Profit:           $.89

In other words, Rite Aid paid me $.89 to take $54 of merchandise out of their store.

Rite Aid Deals 1/8-1/14 EXPIRED

I don't shop as much at Rite Aid as I used to and I'm not sure why. Rite Aid has its Wellness+ program which you have to enroll in to receive sale prices and +UP rewards. Another program they have is call Video Values, aka AdPerk, where you watch short videos for coupons. They also have Single Check Rebates (SCRs) available. You can read about Rite Aid's coupon policy here.
