Rite Aid Shopping Trip 5/17/2015

We stopped into Rite Aid today on our way to dinner for Mother's Day.  Yes, we went out a week late because last year when we went on Mother's Day it was very crowded and I did not mind waiting a weekend to go.  It was nice to have the restaurant a bit quieter and not feel rushed to get through dinner.
 
I mainly wanted to get prices of some items today so I can make up scenarios for later in the week.  I was hoping to use the 30% off coupons to get some good deals on items and wanted to know what items the 30% would effect.  When I asked the manager if she knew about the 30% coupon for Friday she said "yes!" and went into the office to get one for me!  She said that all of the associates were given 4 to give to family and friends and she said that she only has one family member that will use them so the other three she hands out to some of the customers.  Very excited to get one, I was not sure what type of 30% coupon this would be, sometimes when Rite Aid has a 30% coupon day they sent a package of the coupons for the cashiers to put on the counter and other times they are given to associates to hand out like this coming week.  Since it looks like I will only be getting one of these coupons unless I get lucky later on in the week, I am trying to plan getting as much as I can on Friday that will benefit from the extra bonus.

I did want to pick up some U by Kotex that were on clearance because I knew I could combine them with some packs of Huggies diapers to make a good deal.  The Huggies diapers are on sale this week for $8.99 but they are $12.49 shelf price so the 30% will apply, it will make them $8.74 each.  Since I bought the U by Kotex on one of my gold cards, I am stuck using my 30% coupon on it.  I was hoping to use the 30% off on my card that I still have a $5 off $50 coupon for but I still have another week to figure out how I want to use that coupon if I cannot get another 30%.

All of the U by Kotex of similar size are shelf price $4.49 but the clearance items were marked as a shelf price of $4.29 and rang up with that shelf price as well.  They were 50% off, marked $2.14 but rang up at $2.24 for some reason.  The manager was helping me checkout and she caught the price difference.  She manually changed the price to $2.14 for each since that is how they were marked and should be ringing up.  I was the first person she has had use Plenti points, she seemed impressed it just paid for everything automatically when I input the pin number and just spit out my receipt.
