Rite Aid Trip 11/17

I'm trying to get in on all the Rite Aid goodness, because apparently we're moving next month to a town with no Rite Aid... *sniff. I'm going to have to learn Walgreens and CVS it looks like! Anyway, yesterday was another awesome trip to Rite Aid with a LOT of free stuff. Free toothpaste, free toothbrush, free dish detergent, & free heat wraps! I'd made an error in my first transaction, but the manager was kind enough to help me figure it all out so I still got my +UP rewards. And I had a Rebate Check from last month that I was able to use to pay for most of it. So my out-of-pocket (before tax) was a measly $2.01! Actual "price paid" (since I've already "used" the savings from the rebate and last weeks +UPs) was still less than $30 for over $100 worth of product!

I can't list the non-sale price for some of these items as the receipt from my first transaction is nowhere to be found. Probably due to the steps we had to take to redeem my +UP rewards! I'll list reg prices when I can though.
