Update: It’s in the matchups, but Amy pointed out that I forgot the $2.00/1 got2b Video Values coupon (Oct)!
Alright, today was a trip day. You know I only go to Rite Aid to shop about 4 times a year, so this is a big deal around here! So with that, here are my trip details for you. Enjoy my slight sarcasm. No trip is complete without it. 
Stop #1: No cleaning implements. No mops. No brooms. Hand scrubbers only. Plungers? Check. Emergency Car Chargers? Check. Flat Tire Repair? Check. Men’s ties? Check. Weird. I shop here most often…never noticed any of that. Something is very wrong with this store.
Stop #2: 1 mop. No brooms. Ack.
Dealie:
2 – got2b Oil-Licious $6.49 (BOGO)
Pay: $6.88 ($6.49+$0.39 MI sales tax)
Get 2 – $4 UPR
Final: $1.12 Moneymaker
New Cashier: I don’t think this is right. You’re not supposed to get two UP’s for this.
Me: Yes, it’s correct.
New Cashier: Well, it loaded to your card, so I don’t know how to get it off of that.
Me (mental conversation): Crap. I opted out of L2C the last time I was here. Yay! I opted out of the card and it didn’t work!
Side note: This is probably the ONLY time I’ve ever been thrilled to have their system fail me. If it hadn’t, she likely would have taken my second UP and destroyed it. Yes, I went to THAT Rite Aid. And no, it wasn’t HER. It was her clone. The way I see it? I barely made it out unscathed…
Store #3:
1 – Libman Tornado Mop $15.79
1 – Libman Precision Angle Broom $4.99
Total: $22.03 (20.78 + $1.25 MI sales tax)
Get $6 UPR for Tornado Mop (Monthly)
Get $5 UPR for Libman Broom (Monthly)
Get $3 UPR for Libman (Weekly)
Get $3 UPR for Libman (Weekly)
Final after UPR: $5.03 for all
Cashier (scanning my receipt): You got $3 UPR for your purchase today!
Me (mental conversation): Thank GOODNESS she didn’t read that giant receipt…Phew…
Now, if I could have been brave and waited until tomorrow to purchase the mop and broom, I would have made money on this deal. If you’re feeling brave and your store stock is good, take your time on this one. It’s worth it.

As a side note, store #1 now has a Catalina machine (Yay!) and I got a $1.00/1 Pantene Styler coupon! I also got two receipt coupons:
$2.00/1 Centrum Immunity
$2.00/1 Centrum Flavor Burst
So tell me, have you been to the drugstores today? Any good tips for me? I’d love to hear them. Drop me a note!
