Yesterday I realized that perhaps the Doctor was not right; my little girl does need her Prevacid. I decided to go ahead and have it filled. Luckily, I had a RiteAid transfer coupon for $30.00 gift certificate.
We loaded up and went to get the prescription. I had already worked out my game plan for what to do with the gift certificate. I purchased the prescription and 2 bottles of Zrytec and handed them the coupon. This is where it gets interesting. She rings up the Prevacid ($118.00) + 2 bottles of Zrytec (12.99 X 2 = 26.98) = $148.00. I ask for my gift certificate, and she says we took it off the total. I ask again; she tells me the same thing. "I took it off the total." I was so stunned; it just didn't seem right. With three children though, it is hard to do the math. I simply walked away without the receipt.
Oh, I need the receipt for the FSA account. I walk back to ask for the receipt. You can tell she is not happy to see me. Could I please have my receipt? She gives me the receipt, and I look at again. Finally, the pharmacy tech comes over. She explains what she did with the transaction. Now, get this! I have to explain to THEM how to ring up a gift certificate. I explain the receipt to them, and they finally give me my gift certificate. I find it amusing that with as many of these coupons out there the management at these pharmacies do not explain what to do with them.
I was so upset I simply bought the RiteAid diaper wipes (6.49 with $2.00(rebate)) + 2 bags of Huggies diapers (13.99 - 2 1.50 MF coupons)= 34.68. I used $30.00 gift card and another gift card for the remainder. I definitely could have done better deals, but I was so aggravated I wanted to spend the entire gift certificate so I wouldn't have to go back. I know I will though- can't miss a bargain.
