Holy Profit at Rite Aid, Batman! Er, sort of.

Ok, so I was super-jazzed after looking at the Rite Aid ad and reading some other great coupon blogs & seeing this week’s deals!  We went to church last night so this morning I was at Rite Aid when it opened at 9.  Not because I have totally lost my mind, but because I have INSOMNIA and I’d been up since 5:15 & had already gotten my shopping plan together!  Despite my best planning, all did not totally go as planned, as I’ll explain. Here’s what I got:

Two Tylenol Precise pain patches $10

Two Reach Total Care toothbrushes, $2.99 each = $5.98

Listerine PocketPaks $2.99

Listerine Total Care $4.99 ($4.49 for me with 10% wellness + discount)

Johnson’s baby shampoo $3.99

Johnson’s baby lotion $3.99

Playtex Gentle Glide tampons $4 (you’re welcome, Sarah!)

total = $35.44

-$2 +UP Rewards from last week

Total = $9.95 + $1.71 in tax. I paid $11.66 cash and got back 13 +UP Rewards!! ( 2 each for the Johnson’s baby, 2 each for the Reach, 2 for the Pocket Paks, 3 for the Playtex). Pretty good, right??  Well, normally I would be thrilled with this transaction BUT there was an extra +UP Reward  – $10 for buying $30 of select Johnson & Johnson products – that didn’t print!!  I didn’t realize it wasn’t there til I was on my way home, and I didn’t want to drive back and annoy the cashier and manager, so I emailed customer service when I got home and I am waiting to hear back!  I know I bought the right items and spent enough, so I am hoping they will get me my extra $10 somehow!

Hopefully if it all works out I will come away with $11.34 profit on this one!  Plus, the Listerine & Pocket Paks, and toothbrushes all count toward the Oral Care rebate I was working on – so that’s more profit as well!

Did anyone else try the Johnson & Johnson deal and get the $10 +UP Reward??  I hope it worked for you.  I’ll let you know how it turns out.  And hey, Rite Aid! I want my $10!  😉
