So, I too am still trying to get a hang of the UP rewards system that Rite-Aid has implemented. I really loved the SCR program because it was cash in my pocket that I could use anywhere, not just Rite-Aid. Unfortunately, the UP's can only be used at Rite-Aid...but the upside is that they can be used like RA cash 5 seconds after they print out for you...no waiting.
So this was transaction last Thursday...it was early in the morning...this working full-time thing forced me to make my trip at 7:30 in the morning...luckily I just followed the list and didn't have to think much. :) I did this all in one transaction...I should've left out the Head & Shoulder's because 1) I didn't realize until I got home that it was the conditioner. not the shampoo, and 2) I was already at my $25 threshold to be able to use my $5/25 but kept forgetting about a toothbrush, thereby making my total just under what I needed...except not really. Oh well...the H&S will be donated, as will the oatmeal.

These should've rung up at $1.99..but I didn't catch it until just now..so it's too late to do anything about them. Oops....
