My first Rite Aid experiment!

Well, I have been anxious to try Rite Aid, but didn't know that I wanted to wait for the cash rebates that  they offer. However, they are now stating that the Single Check Rebate program will only 2-3 weeks. I noticed some good deals this week, and they now have a program called + Up rewards which is very similar to Extra Care Bucks from the local competitor. This is a summary of my bargains with pictures to follow...

Transaction 1:
