The Deals Keep Coming At Rite Aid

Woo Hoo! There is an awesome deal at Rite Aid if you are in the market for free pencils and/or rulers. Believe it or not...without coupons! They are on sale for 99¢ and you get a $2 +UP reward. Free AND a money maker! The sign said $2 +UP when you purchase this product. It didn't say you had to buy two and I forgot to get one rung up at a time to see if it would work that way. I had a plan and had to alter it seeing as they didn't have a few items that I went after. It all worked like this:

1 pack of paper clips @ $1.79 (I should have gotten $2 +UP according to the sign...I didn't and just now realized/remembered it.)
4 rulers @ 99¢ each = $3.96 (I received two $2 +UP rewards = $4. I should have gotten $4 more in +UP.)
4 packs of Pilot easy touch pens @ $2.29 each = $9.16 (I received two $4 +UP rewards = $8.)
3 packs of 7-Up @ 3/$9.99 (I received $2 +UP rewards.) These are not in the picture.
2 packs of Mr. Goodbar @ 50¢ each (I had two peelie Qs for 75¢ off of one Hershey's that I got at Food Lion). These are also not in the picture, and no I haven't eaten them...Yet!
1 Hershey almond bar (I had to buy it because my subtotal was negative 10¢.)

Before any sales my total was $32.72.
Sale price was $26.40.

After the $5/$25 RA Q, the total was $21.40.
Minus $1.50 Hershey's Qs, the total was $19.90.

I paid with my $20 Gift of Savings Gift Certificate.
My subtotal was negative 10¢.

This is where it gets tricky...I am not really sure how this came to be but my tax was 11¢ so I paid ONE PENNY OOP for everything. I can follow it to the subtotal but after that you got me. There was an overage of 50¢ because of the Hershey Qs. I don't know if that came into play or not.

Now I received my +UP rewards of $14 to spend another time and I am due $6 more for the paper clips and pencils. Looks like I will be going back to my very friendly Rite Aid in the near future. That is $14 that I have for spending ONE PENNY, JUST ONE PENNY. My $6 due makes it $20 total for that ONE PENNY!
