Rite Aid Shopping Trip 5/16/2015

Only shopped at Rite Aid today.  I did make a quick stop into Kroger to get refunded for the coupon that did not deduct last night.  I wanted to use up a rain check I had for Rite Aid on the Irish Spring Gear bar soap and body wash but the manager would only let me get the bars.  When she gave me the rain check previously she knew my coupon was expiring that day and told me that she would honor my expired coupon with the rain check.  I have not had a store do this previously and I do not recall anything in their policy about a situation like this and whether they will honor expired coupons with a rain check.

The store only had 2 packs of the bars so they agreed to sub the Irish Spring 8pk bars.  I was hoping to get the Gear so I could get points back but they were free so I can't complain.  Then after looking at my receipt, the manager only scanned 3 of the packs of soap, the 2 Irish Spring 8pk and only 1 of the Gear 6pk so I did not get any points back from buying them like I was hoping.  I did get overage though since she used all 4 coupons but only input 3 items.  This messed up my total a bit and I ended up with the register not allowing one of my Marc Anthony coupons because it would have given me a negative balance so I picked up some more candy bars to soak up the overage.  Also, when I went over to the next register to pick up some more candy bars with freshness peelies the manager told me she would not honor the freshness peelie on the free candy bars because she saw me pick up 6 of them and they are on sale B2G1 free so I picked up two Snickers without peelies.  Then she let me use a manufacturer coupon on the free candy bars?  That confused me a bit but regardless I only owed $1.32 including tax so I could not use any points and got back 1,700 points. 

We then went to my favorite store to pick up some more of the Speed Stick Deodorants.  The cashier scanned my BOGO coupons before scanning my card so they auto deducted the full amount.
