Rite Aid 12/06 - 12/12

A couple of notes to start with:

1. Make sure you know RiteAid'sCouponPolicy. Print out a copy to keep with you. This will be a great help when you get a cashier, or even a manager, who doesn't know the policy.


2. Go to Rite Aid AdPerks to watch videos and earn Rite Aid coupons. You will be able to earn a $5/$20 Rite Aid coupon, as well as a coupon for each product for which you watch a video.


3. Print out and take additional $5/$25 coupons and $5/$20 coupons with you. Remember, the $5/$20 coupon is only available after you watch enough AdPerks videos.


4. And finally, don't forget about Rite Aid's Gift of Savings program that is running from 11/22/09 through 12/24/09. Spend $25-50 (after Rite Aid coupons and discounts, but before manufacturer's coupons), get $5 back. Spend $51-100, get $10 back. Spend over $100, get $20 back

All my scenarios will reflect my personal goal to either make money or at least not to have spent any - after I get my rebate check, Rite Aid gift cards, and/or Gift of Savings check back in the mail.
