Rite Aid - June 19

Since Rite Aid added UP+ rewards, you can now "roll" your transactions to spend the least amount of your hard, earned money. I personally (and mathematically) believe that you will come out on top by continuing to use $5 off $25 coupons. I'll show you what I mean. Here's the scenario I've worked up for next week's sale:

Transaction #1
Buy-
Colgate ProClinical, on sale for $2.99 (get $2 UP+ reward)
Motrin, on sale for $3.00 (get $3 UP+ reward)
Clairol Nice 'n Easy, on sale for $7.99 ($3 SCR - exclusive email offer, $2 UP+ reward)
L'Oreal hair color, on sale for $8.99 (get $2 UP+ reward)
2 packs of Mentos gum, on sale for $1.00 each
$0.03 Filler item

Use-
$5 off $25 Rite Aid coupon from here (type "rite aid" in the search box at top of screen)
$1 Colgate ProClinical coupon from June All You magazine
$3 Motrin coupon from 4/18 Red Plum insert
$2.50 in-ad Nice 'n Easy coupon
$1 Nice 'n Easy coupon from 6/6 PG insert (manuf. coupon)
$2 Nice 'n Easy coupon from PG booklet (sent in mail from Rite Aid) (store coupon)
$2 in-ad Clairol coupon
$2 Clairol coupon from 6/6 PG insert
(2) $0.55 Mentos coupons from 5/23 Smart Source insert

Final Price - $11.36, but you get $3 back in single check rebates PLUS $9 back in UP+ rewards!

Transaction #2
Buy-
Motrin, on sale for $3 each (get $3 UP+reward)

Use-
$3 Motrin coupon from 4/18 Red Plum insert

Final Price - FREE, plus you get $3 back in UP+ rewards! (You can repeat this transaction by as many motrin coupons you have or as many motrin bottles you can find in stock! I only have two :(
Remember - you can only do one UP+ reward deal per item per transaction).

In Summary - You will have paid $11.36 for $28 worth of goods, but you will get $3 back in single check rebates PLUS $12 back in UP+ rewards!

You will make $3.64 by lumping everything together and using the $5 off $25 coupon. If you were to "roll" your UP+ rewards using multiple transactions, you will end up paying money. Your out of pocket expense would not be high, but somehow I think you'd like making money better!

Let me know if you find better deals!
