Buy $50.00 worth of Advil to get back 2 Up Rewards for $10.00 each (weekly deal) plus the $10.00 Diabetes UP Reward.
**Make sure your cashier scans the barcode on page 6 of the SCR booklet!

Here is what I bought:

2 Children's Advil - Reg price $6.99 ($5.59 with Gold discount)
Total before coupons = $51.13

I used:

2 tearpad coupons for the Children's Advil = $4.00
Total coupons = $35.00

Total out of pocket expense = $16.13

I got back 2 X $10.00 UP Rewards = $20.00

I should have also received the $10.00 Diabetes UP Reward, but it did not track, so I will contact Rite Aid customer service if it doesn't print out the next time I shop.

I guess that gives me a $10.00 headstart for next week!
