Rite Aid Shopping Trip 11/11/2015

First trip to Rite Aid this week.  I will likely go out again Friday to pick up the rest of the items I want.  My favorite store just got the register system update so we had to scan my items and coupons prior to scanning my card.

I had coupons from an insert for the Right Guard deodorants but they scanned as no matching item even though they matched the deodorants I was buying.  My cashier manually entered them and then once my card was scanned I was surprised to see the Load2Card coupon work.  Generally I prefer to give the cashier a paper coupon because I do not trust the Load2Card coupons to work and since we scanned my card after I did not know that the Load2Card would work.

2 Curad Ouchless Bandages 20ct ~ gold price $2.79 (shelf price $3.49)
