Rite Aid Shopping Trip 5/15/2015

I was finally able to stop into Rite Aid this week.  I have seen other people getting purchase base coupons this week and I wanted to trigger mine to print before I did a large transaction so I could use it right away.  So I did three smaller transactions with three of my cards.  Only the gold cards printed coupons and both were $5 off $50.  I do have another card but I have not finished signing it up yet and they did not have anymore candy with freshness peelies on them that I could match up with other coupons to make them really cheap.  I then did a bit more shopping to spend one of my purchase base coupons.

I did have to pay out of pocket for the candy bars even though I had points on all of those cards because I was not spending over $2.00 in any of the transactions.  For my final transaction I used a rain check I had from a few months ago when Dove Hair Care items were 2/$6.00 with a $3.00/2 coupon and $3 +UP wyb 2.  The cashier just put each item in for $1.50 to factor the +UP instead of putting them in as coupons.  I realized after I should have asked her to input the +UP as coupons though so I could have received an extra 400 points for the monthly deal but it was still a great moneymaker!  Also since she put the rain check in this way my total was a little below the $50 mark but the manager accepted the coupon.
