SPRING/SUMMER 2023!!...Share your sales & solutions!!!

Are you excited for RA tomorrow? I can't wait until 8am.

Nothing weird happens when I go to iheartriteaid.com (on my laptop). There is a web form for emailing her, but it looks like maybe [email protected] might work to email directly. Rite Aid is the only one I regularly visit, but I tried iheartcvs.com, too, with nothing weird happening. Contact link from that page looks like it goes to [email protected]. Good luck figuring it out with nothing bad happening!

Same thing happening to me but it's Frontier that I'm getting pop up commerials/offers for. Must be an issue with ericas site.

Wow! I don't think my pulse has ever gone that low or if it had I was probably too out of it to even think to test.

And yes, the lower pulse seems to make breathing more of a problem for me than the oxygen saturation.

I never heard of a troponin level but I had this happen probably close to 40 years ago. Heart was okay; it was just a panic attack. And I've never had another one so that was good.

I'm going completely off topic here for a minute. I am not a member at i but I peruse deals and comments there periodically. Both last night and then today whenever I have gone there, this strange pop up comes up. "Dear AT&T Customer..." Then it tells me that I'm one of 100 who have won something.

The i screen changes to a Customer Reward Program screen and I can't get back to i without opening a new tab. And generally speaking, I am only able to have it open for a minute or two before this happens again. It is the ONLY website I am getting this strange message on.

I am guessing this is a scam. The web link is extremely long and comes from xyzinnovations.xyz/ I might think this was something more valid IF it didn't only happen when I go to i and I could find more information about this company. We do have our internet via AT&T.

Does anyone else who visits i have this coming up? I know erica used to be on SD, but I haven't seen her in a long time as a poster. Anyone have an email for her to check in with her on it?

At the moment, I'm not sure if I wanted to join i I could stay on their site long enough to figure out how to join them without this coming up.

Monthly A&H deal also bogo free.

Yes, many blood takers cannot find my veins. With your cardiac problems, I'm guessing you've had at least one blood gas test done. At least that's what I think it was called years ago when I actually had a panic attack but the ER needed to rule out a heart attack. Anyway, apparently this is a special draw and it had to be done in the wrist area. The regular worker couldn't get it so a nurse anesthetist was brought in. He was brutal. Kept jabbing me over and over with the same needle that kept getting less and less sharp. I finally told him he needed to use a new needle and he got it on the next jab. My wrist was so bruised and was full of small scabs from the dull needle jabs.

I completely missed that--thanks for that and your other ideas. My little dud store is also a high-priced store where spinbrushes are $11.49. If your store has A&H baking soda, it probably costs $.99-$1.59, so would work pretty well with the spinbrushes. Also check the price of A&H toothpaste. I think it's likely $5.xx, so might help it work. Duracell does indeed look good, but I screwed up the last Duracell deal I tried by accidentally buying 8-ct when I meant to get 4-ct. So one of the $6 DQs applied, which lessened my loss on that one, but now I don't have it for the current deal. Our 10.1% sales tax whittles it down further. Would still be a good deal if I needed batteries, but I don't. Might still make a good filler. P&G is tempting, especially since I have Tide and Gain BCC, but I'll probably pass this time. My RA is a 10-15 minute walk away. Driving instead isn't really an option. There MIGHT be an exorbitantly priced, but not even very close parking spot. I'm too old and feeble now to easily lug home jugs of detergent on foot. P&G's difficult rebates, 1-day IPs, and stupid go ahead and waste water as long as you use our dishwasher detergent commercials annoy me enough to decide those grapes are sour. I skip soft drink deals, because on top of the 10.1% sales tax, we have $.075/ounce sweetened beverage tax on those, which adds up really fast!

I seem to be doing a lot of whining, but really that's not my overall attitude. My handicaps keep me from doing as much as I might otherwise and make me a less valuable contributor to the discussion, but if I manage to at least get just over $31 of Listerine and $19 of Softsoap without screwing anything up, I might still be envious of others' hauls, but I'll be pretty happy. Will check out stock and some prices when I go to get that and maybe end up with even more to be happy about.

The blood gas test has to be taken from an artery, which is why it is more painful. I've had it done once, and hope I never need to have it again. I think it would be a difficult procedure for anyone with bleeding problems.

*snip* stupid go ahead and waste water as long as you use our dishwasher detergent commercials annoy me enough *snip*

*snip* I do have veins (and apparently arteries too) that are difficult to find and actually get into them without them moving (rolling?) away from the needle. *snip*.

That commercial makes my whole body steam up!

I load my dishwasher like I'm playing Tetris and now that there are two of us, we're only running it every 4-6 days. Pans get washed as soon as I've used them and we don't rinse anything going into the dishwasher.

We're even using the super cheap Brillo dishwasher detergent pods that CVS no longer seems to carry. They were 9 for $1.00, and I bought them as fillers anytime the store had them and I needed a filler to use an ecb. They are no longer in the discounted product area (used to be $1 area, lol), but I do check periodically for them.



My veins are deceptively beautiful, but they roll like crazy. Anytime I'm having blood drawn, I tell the phlebotomist when they are looking at my arms. When they hit t the first time, I praise them so much I bet they think I'm crazy!

There's a definite difference in skill level with the phlebotomists. Some of them are so good that you don't feel anything but other ones are like Dracula.

I had a fantastic morning at RA. The only reason I stopped was that my body gave out. There were some massive price hikes today on things like Duracell and Listerine. The batteries that were $16.99 yesterday are now $20.99 and the $6 L2C didn't come off (it did on the more expensive ones). Even so, it was still a free deal. I guess that RA figures that nobody will complain about getting $68 (now $84) of Duracell batteries for free. Listerine went up to almost $10. That's $10 for a bottle of mouthwash (Marcia, please insert the appropriate emoji here) but even that was a free deal (I just didn't get the mouthwash). The breath things were still at the old price and the $1.50 cats worked on them but you must scan the cats first otherwise they'll beep. All the deals I tried worked except there were only 4 Pepsi's and I couldn't find the Clean Freak. Also, Febreze Noticeables (whatever that is) were in the ad but I didn't see a place for them on the shelf. No A&H Spinbrushes in stock so I got the crystals. Scunci surprisingly worked perfectly. The huge Gain and Downy ($20.99) were free. Halls was a nice filler (I was going to do Lays but I went with Halls instead). Dove DD'd. That was probably my best transaction. 4 Dove deo 2-packs with a Dove bar soap 2-pack and 2 Listerine breath things. Gain/Downey with 4 Listerine was also really good. Everything was good. Awesome day. I'm going to take nap and try to re-energize and then go back out.

Great fight last night. I had it 3-2 Alexa. It was even going into the 5th (although the 1st and 4th were very close) and Valentina dominated for the first 3 1/2 minutes but then she made a mistake and Alexa took her back and destroyed her for the rest of the round. People are split on how the 5th round should've been scored. I think that you can't be the champ if you're getting choked out so it has to go to Alexa. One judge gave the last round to Alexa 10-8 which was crazy. All of the judges gave the 4th round to Valentina which was also crazy because Alexa kneed her in the head multiple times. I don't really want to see a rematch. Maybe a few fights from now but not right away.

Sounds like you got some great deals. Glad to hear that RA is still going strong. The battery deal sounds awesome and is something I always seem to need. Within the past week I replaced batteries in my oximeter, pc mouse, anniversary clock, toothbrush and tv remote. It seems like my batteries had a virus, lol. I really miss shopping there and the connections I made with long-time store staff over the almost 20 years I lived in PA. In fact, RA was the first store I shopped at when needing some items that didn't get moved. This was a smaller RA which was the closest retail place to our house and often not very busy. I had never even heard of RA. The cashier mentioned how my 'accent' made me sound like I was from the midwest. She (Mary) was originally from Michigan and I from Wisconsin. Over the years we learned about each other's families, kids, pets, outside interests, etc. This was just one of many connections I made at RA stores all the way from the lowest employees to the store managers and even one district manager. Most were so nice at the six stores I would frequent most. Very willing to pre-order stock, give rain checks, substitutions, etc. And at one time when the registers allowed it (even though I'm not sure it was meant to be) they would offer to turn expiring RA currency (whatever it was called depending on the program) into RA gift cards. I had so much gift card money to spend before leaving the state and my husband didn't want more weight added to an already $15k+ move so I had to pick and choose carefully. PA RA's did not sell alcohol (can't put that in the moving truck anyway) but we did manage to stop at a RA in Ohio on the drive out and found room amongst both our vehicles to stow some of my husband's favorites. I didn't hear him complaining about those transactions or that stop, lol.

Hope you had/get a good nap and are able to find some more deals. Good Luck!

Wags question. Does anybody know if a 5/25 dq will stack with a 7/25 dq on a $25 purchase? I also have one more transaction to do to earn $25 BC. If all goes well, I could earn $37 BC by spending $25 plus anything I earn on the items that I buy. Any idea what I should get? The 5/25 also has an option for 20/60 but I think that I'll stick with the 5/25. Oh, I'm pretty sure that I have a 7/25 paper. Can I do a triple stack? That would be awesome. Thank you!
