Since I didn't take advantage of the diapers deal at Walgreens last week I ended up going to the store. I hate when this happens. I've got boxes of wipes stacking up but no diapers. Plus mom keeps telling me to potty train Asha and I'm just too lazy to start. I just realized while typing this up...I used a snug & dry coupon on little movers diapers. The register didn't even beep and the cashier didn't say anything either. I called six different stores before I was able to locate one that had the Neuragen gel in stock. Huge moneymaker thanks to the coupon expiring today. I paid $9.99 out of pocket but I'll be get double the price on the Single Check Rebate.

Deal wise this is an awesome week at Rite Aid. The checkout experience not at all. First the cashier questioned my BOGO Stayfree coupon. He said "One's already free, you're trying to get the other one also." I showed him the part in coupon policy allowing it making both products free. But he decided not to believe the policy and called the manager instead. Okay! Then when it came time to pay, the total before any +UP reward was $6.96. So I gave a $5 and $1.99 +UP reward to pay for it. It kept requiring me to get something for $0.03 but I asked if he could adjust it and he flat out yelled at me and said no along with "I could lose my job over $0.03" so I told him to get the manager to come deal with it. She tried it a couple of times and then said she wouldn't allow it. Saying as of the morning their policy changed on adjusting +UP rewards. Then I simply replaced it with one the +UP rewards mailed from Rite Aid (+UP reward was mailed because of all the missed rewards on the TP deal) and it went through. See before I even go to the checkout stand I know how many +UP rewards I can use to bring the subtotal closer to $0 so all I end up paying is tax. Later when I looked at the receipt closely, I saw the cashier took off $6.99 on the Stayfree BOGO instead of $6, the maximum value stated on the coupon. I obviously wasn't paying attention to it either. Then for the second transaction I didn't get the +UP reward for Gillette Fusion. Most of the deals for this week weren't marked at all. I was so frustrated at the cashier's rude behavior nearly punched him out. I keep thinking who would even shop at Rite Aid if they didn't have all these coupon deals, SCR program, or +UP rewards. I wouldn't. AAARRRRRHHHHH!!!!

It was pouring outside when I went shopping early in the morning. I was the only one in the store for a while. Had to make an early morning trip because of the way this particular store hardly has enough product in stock later in the week. And most times I forget about getting rainchecks. Thank goodness it stopped raining as soon as I went outside.

It was a good night because everything was in stock, even my raincheck items. I was told the truck came in and they finally stocked the shelf. Midweek is the best time to shop I guess. I loved it. One more thing...NOT A SINGLE COUPON BEEPED...yay!!! The cashier was friendly and helpful. I usually get grunts or they tell me that a coupon is not acceptable. For all that help I gave my cashier one of the free sobe product coupons. In and out of the store in 20 minutes, including checkout time.

Looked ahead for next week at slickdeals.net and looks like another slack week.

There was some confusion on using the +UP rewards. I wish the cashiers knew what to do with the +UP reward problems. I keep on being told I can only use one on each transaction, not true. I can use as many to bring my subtotal to $0. Everyone of the cashiers needs to learn how to deal with coupons.
