Also, are you saying that Degree dry spray is part of the monthly Dove deal that ends this week? I have $2 Dove/Degree tear-pad coupons. Degree would be a cheaper way to go.
Do you ever do in-store pick-up? Somebody was saying that there's a way to pay in the store rather than online.
I stopped off at the 99Cent store on my way home to get more face masks. The purple and pink ones are on clearance for $3 (50 count). The white ones are still $5.99. I had a nice cashier and she gave me the white ones for the pink price. I'd say that my smile did the trick but I was wearing a mask lol.
The 99Cent store had Vitafusion gummies for $3.99. They also had Gaia Elderberry gummies. They weren't priced but most of the vitamins are $3.99 or less. I don't know much about the Gaia brand other than RA carries them and I bought a bunch a few months ago when there was an amazing deal on them. The 99Cent store is turning into the place to go for cheap vitamins. RA used to have everybody beat but I haven't seen a good vitamin deal there for two months.

Glad to hear your tip went well and sorry to keep replying only after you've already shopped. Re Degree and Dove being part of the same deal: I was talking about an already expired August monthly. As far as I know, the current Dove deal only includes Dove.
Seems moot now, but returning your Crest without a receipt might have gone just fine. Back when RA first stopped giving full credit for returns and everything seemed store-specific, inconsistent even at the same store, and the math too crazy to figure out, someone suggested that doing a return without a receipt was a way around the craziness. I think they said they got the full amount back on a RA gift card that way.
My only experience with store pick-up was not long after they started that. Couldn't use BC then, but I didn't have a huge amount anyway, and online pricing made a small oop quite a moneymaker. When I got to the store, the cashier had it bagged up and waiting me. She handed it to me and said that was all there was to it. I watched and waited quite awhile for my cc to be charged and the bonus cash to show up, but neither happened and eventually RA cancelled the order and the pending amount went back on my cc. I neither tried to get the BC nor to return the small purchase I never actually paid for. Cashiers not knowing how to do it and not being able to use BC pretty well eliminated any interest I might have had in trying again, but I too read that the transaction is finalized when you pick up, and you can use BC now (and paper coupons, too, I think?). I have thought of asking about it at my store if I remember sometime when they don't seem too busy to chat, but it still seems too complicated for that to be a high priority. It wouldn't shock me if my store still doesn't know how, and it seems to involve a whole third set of rules, different from either shipped online orders or completely in-store transactions. Main one I remember is that coupon codes screw up spend deals. Don't recall reports of how other kinds of coupons work.
Another use for pretend online shopping is to get an indication of how likely I am to find what I'm after. If a search by brand turns to "no results found" when I specify pickup, my store probably doesn't even carry that brand. If I'm after 2, and it will let me add 5 to my cart, that's a good indication they'll have stock. If I can only add one, they probably don't actually have any (but do at least carry that item). Shoplifting, etc. understandably screws up inventory records. Occasionally, online indicates they have lots of stock, but when I get there, the whole section is bare, in which case I suspect they're behind with restocking or maybe haven't received an expected shipment. Two other stores I used to visit closed. I think there are still some within the distance you'd be willing to drive, but I don't play as hard as you do. If I were to decide to make a trek, though, I'd check online, and if it looked promising maybe even give them a call. Not sure of current policy, but maybe they'd even hold items I really wanted for an hour or two.
It occurs to me that inventory discrepancies are yet another way for a pick-up order to go awry.

The transaction was at CVS. They don't have a void option.
A void option would make life so much easier at CVS but they don't want to tie up the cashier all day doing voids when CVS can make money off of their mistakes by making the customer foot the bill.

Also, the nice thing about watching the bears is that they become more active about the time the eagles are less so and vice versa,
Update: Market Chatter: Rite Aid to Close Hundreds of Stores in Potential Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Plan
MT NEWSWIRES
4:29 AM ET Sep-26-2023
04:29 AM EDT, 09/26/2023 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates with Rite Aid (RAD.NaE) comment in the fifth paragraph)
Rite Aid (RAD.NaE) is in talks with creditors over a Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan that would include closing some of its more than 2,100 drugstores, The Wall Street Journal reported late Friday, citing unnamed sources with knowledge of the negotiations.
The company has proposed to shut down 400 to 500 stores and either sell these or let creditors take control, the report said. The number of stores to be closed is reportedly being discussed.
The company, which faces more than $3.3 billion in debt and over a thousand federal lawsuits, aims to conduct an auction process to sell its Elixir pharmacy subsidiary, as well as other parts of its business, the Journal reported.
The company has denied allegations that it filled unlawful opioid prescriptions and asked a court to dismiss a lawsuit by the US Justice Department, the Journal reported.
In an emailed statement to MT Newswires, Rite Aid (RAD.NaE) said it is working with its financial stakeholders to identify the best path forward to reduce its debt. "Given the conversations remain ongoing, no decisions have been made at this time and we are focused on reaching an agreement with our financial stakeholders that will make Rite Aid (RAD.NaE) stronger," the company said.

Thanks.
Thanks.
Thanks!
I printed a $1/2 coupon from the kellogg's family rewards site, but haven't found a sale that I wanted to use it at. I hate paying full price for stuff when I can avoid it.
Wanted to make Pioneer Woman's Holiday Bacon Appetizer (the brown sugar variety) for Thanksgiving. I've been told that the Aldi brand of club crackers is not good. I'm sure I'll break down and buy at full price, but you gotta wonder why one is being advertised (and on sale) a lot and the other ignored.
Thrilled to see my Publix will have BOGO on CLUB Crackers and there is a $1/2 coupon available to print. Looks like my family will get their Pioneer Woman's Holiday Bacon appetizer (brown sugar) this year.
Hasn't been BOGO or on a decent sale that I know of since I asked in November.
