I swung by Rite Aid today to get my face wash. For some odd reason I can only find my face wash at Rite Aid, I have looked several other places, but none seem to carry it. Anyways, I picked up two items and went to check out. Each product retails for $8.99, but Rite Aid was having a sale, buy one get the second 50% and if you spend $10 get $2 in UP rewards. I was pretty happy with this sale.
The cashier started ringing up the items and when I looked at the price they were ringing up at $2.29 each. I asked the cashier if that was the correct price or if her machine was broken? She said that her machine was fine, but that these items were on clearance! I asked her to wait one moment and then ran (seriously ran) back to the aisle and loaded up.
I bought: 7 Oxy face wash products, retail $8.99/each, totaling $62.93. After coupons I paid $2.62 and received $2 in UP rewards. $0.62!!!
I also took Ajax back to the ear specialist today. Back in September the doctor had prescribed a nasal spray, but about 2 weeks ago Ajax began complaining that his nose was hurting. I took him off the spray and called the doctor who told me to bring him in. The doctor said his ears looked fine, his right ear though was a bit cloudy, but not bad. The doctor said that our insurance company had bumped his prescription to the generic version of the spray, which is known for causing irritation. The doctor gave me some samples of the name brand stuff where he pulled out the instructions and showed me where it indicated it was safe for two year-olds (I was a little skeptical).
