Could it really be free?
Tue, 10/11/2011 - 08:13 — sdkordysSo I went to Rite-Aid last night and spent $10 (with coupons) on getting the following: 1 John Freida Shampoo, 1 John Freida Conditioner, 2 John Freida hair styling products, 1 Preparation H Totables Wipes, 1 Blistex Lip Ointment, 1 Store-brand hand sanitizer, and 1 Cepacol sore throat lozenges. I left with $10 in +UP rewards, so I basically got the entire lot for free! I did three separate transactions (though I probably didn't optimize the purchases) and came out with enough +UP rewards to get free diapers! This was an awesome haul!
That's quite a haul!
