Rite Aid Shopping Trip 6/7/2015

Today was the last day to take advantage of the 30% off coupon!  I wanted to pick up some of the double packs of Clear hair care products.  I also had two Rite Aid coupons for Benefiber so I had planned on doing that deal as well but when my husband picked up the papers for me and I went searching in the SmartSource for the coupon, it was not there.  Our region did not get the coupon so that ruined one of my transactions a bit.

I was able to return and repurchase the Gillette razors I bought last Thursday on my bronze cards.  The manager that was at the store last week that helped do the return was not there and the manager that was had not done a Plenti point return previously.  The return was not going through and then they tried to do the return and repurchase with my other items in the same transaction and it made my total about $7 more than it should have been.  They voided out the transaction again and I stepped aside for another customer so they could checkout while the manager waited on a response from the other manager to figure out how we did the return last week.  She responded that returns need to be processed like a credit card transaction but that was not working so they offered to do a cash return instead and I said that was fine.  They hit the cash button and poof, the points went back onto my card and it ended the return transaction!

In total today I did four transactions at two different stores - had to find those Clear double packs!  Transactions 1 and 2 were the same, different cards.  Transactions 3 and 4 were only slightly different because I used $4 in catalinas on the fourth transaction, I forgot to use my $3 catalina on transaction 3.
