Get the Drug Store Deals

This is one of those things that I thought was too good to be true.  I can, with 100% confidence, say that it is a very real thing.

I wanted to use a current example, and what do you know, it was the first item on the first page I looked at when I opened this morning's paper.

This is from the Rite Aid ad.  I know it's hard to read, but it says Crest Toothpaste, Oral-B Toothbrushes, and Scope Mouthwash is on sale for $3 with your wellness plus card.  The red/yellow part on the left says that when you buy any of these items you get a
$3 +UP Reward (Limit 2).

There are also coupons for $.75 off Crest Toothpaste and $.75 off Scope Mouthwash.

This is the same advertisement from their website.

Time to save!!

First things first:  you need a +UP card.  If you don't have one, get one.  It's one of those annoying little cards that you put on your keychain but it is totally worth the annoyance.

If you purchase one Crest Toothpaste and one Scope Mouthwash your total would be $6.00 plus tax.  Take off $1.50 for the coupons and your total is $4.50 plus tax.  You will pay that out of pocket but in return you will get $6.00 back in +UP Rewards (+UP Rewards are just like store credit, so it's almost as good as cash at Rite Aid).

For these two items you are making $1.50 minus any taxes you had to pay (it varies state to state).

YOU ARE MAKING MONEY BY BUYING THINGS!

Save your +UP Rewards for next week.  You get to a point where you are only spending a dollar or two out of pocket because you have so many +UP Rewards saved up.

When you start to get the hang of this it gets to be so much fun.  I haven't even looked through the rest of the paper but usually there are a lot of free or almost free items.  Getting free items is great but making money when you buy things is a feeling like no other.

Additional information:
+UP Rewards do expire a couple weeks after they are issued.
+UP Rewards cannot be use to pay sales tax and value will not be returned.  To know how many +UP Rewards you can use, ask for your subtotal.  If your total is $5.50 but your subtotal is $4.99 you can only use $4.00 in +UP Rewards and will have to pay the additional $1.50 out of pocket.
