Rite Aid: My Centrum purchase (or, Coupon Improvisation)!

I thought I would post my Centrum Pro Nutrients vitamin scenario, since I assume that I'm not the only one who didn't receive the $7.00 coupon! {The 12/11 SmartSource insert was supposed to contain a high-value, $7.00/1 Centrum coupon, but it was apparently a regional coupon. No sight of it here in Seattle!}

  I also have a 20% Wellness+ discount, so I needed to factor that into my purchase. Since I don't stop at Rite Aid until after church, they were cleared out of the Fruit and Veggie vitamins, too. Enter: Coupon Improvisation...

Centrum Pro Nutrients, $12.99+
Receive a $10 +UP Reward when you spend $50 on participating items (Season of Savings)
Receive a $10 +UP Reward when you spend $50 on participating products from the Wellness+ Diabetes offer
Receive a $10 +UP Reward when you purchase three (limit 2)
Submit for a $2.00 SCR when you buy one (limit 2)
Use the $5.00/1 coupon here or from the 11/13 RP insert
or use the $7/1 coupon (12/11 SS)

My Purchase:
Bought 5 Centrum Pro Nutrients Omega-3, 50 count ($13.29 shelf price) $10.63 each after 20% discount
Used five, $5.00/1 coupons here (or 11/13 RP)
Received three, $10 +UP Rewards and will submit for two, $2.00 SCR's
Paid $28.15 out of pocket (before tax)
Final price: Free, plus a $5.85 money-maker!

  If you were lucky enough to receive the $7.00 coupon, here a few great options:

Deal Ideas:
Buy three Centrum Pro Nutrients Omega-3 (50 count), $12.99
and buy one Centrum Pro Nutrients Fruit and Veggie (50 count), $11.99
Use four, $5.00/1 coupons here (or 11/13 RP)
or use four, $7.00/1 coupons (12/11 SS)
Pay as little as $22.96 out of pocket and receive $30 in +UP Rewards and $4 in SCR's
Final price: FREE, plus an $11.04 money-maker!

{If you happen to have the 20% Wellness+ discount...}

Buy six Centrum Pro Nutrients Fruit and Veggie (50 count), $9.60 after discount
Use two, $5.00/1 coupons here or from the 11/13 RP insert
and use four, $7/1 coupons (12/11 SS)
Pay $19.54 out of pocket and receive $40 in +UP Rewards and $4 in SCR's
Final price: FREE, plus a $24.46 money-maker! Holy Smokes!

Sometimes it can be easy to be bummed out by a deal that doesn't go as planned, but regardless of how much of a money-maker your vitamins purchase is, just remember you're at least getting free vitamins! That's definitely something to smile about!
