I visited Rite Aid today. I spent most of my prep time on the CVS deal. Had I done more than quickly flip through Rite Aid's ad (which I've done since coming home), I'd have noticed other good deals. In a quick flip, I saw these. 40 count Motrin PM on sale for $3 each with a $1 +UP reward.
I've been couponing for a few months, and back in January Rite Aid had 20 count Motrin PM on sale for $3 with a $2 +UP. In that Sunday's paper there were coupons for $6 off when you buy 2 Motrin (and a couple of other items). I remember grabbing as many as I could then, because $2 back more than covers the sales tax on $3, so they were all money makers. In the time since, I've been to several coupon swaps. At every swap I've been to, I've found these $6 off 2 coupons. I've picked up quite a few. In fact, a few weeks back Tylenol Precise was also a money maker if you had these coupons. I've been making money hand over fist on these coupons, and I still have more.
Anyway, quick flip through the ad and there's $3 Motrin PM with a $1 +UP. I run in, grab 6, pay and get out.
My subtotal was zero, but I had to pay $1.40 in sales tax. On my receipt, it printed 6 +UPs for $1 each. Math time: $6 earned - $1.40 spent = $4.60 money maker.
