Rite Aid 4/4 to 4/10


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 Video Value 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/$20 coupons with you. Remember, the $5/$20 coupon is only available after you watch enough AdPerks videos. (Rite Aid Video Values only allows you to choose to print the coupon one time. You can not go back and choose to print it again later. That being said, when you originally choose to print the coupon a print screen will pop up. On that print screen it has a place for you to type in how many times you want the page printed. I try to print out at least 20 for the month as I average using around 5 a week. NOTE that the coupon is good for 2 months. So if I have any extra I just use them the following month.)
All my scenarios will reflect my personal goal to either make money or at least not to have spent any at the end of the month - after I get my Single Check Rebate, Rite Aid gift cards, and/or MIR checks.

**Unless otherwise indicated, there is a limit of one single check rebate per item.

  1. Is there a reason for 2 different dates on your Foster Grant VV coupons? Can you use mulitples of same date in one transaction? Possible to use 4 if you get 4 and use a filler or get more expensive glasses? thanks!

  2. I put two different dates on the VV coupons due to the fact that some people are unable to use more than one like VV coupon in the same transaction. Recently RA also responded to a question stating that they were one per person. That being said, my RA continues to insist that using more than one is fine. So, get to know your RA.

  3. Sorry to hear about Scott. I hope everything went well yesterday.

    In order to complete scr #77 for the $25 get $5 back, (after purchasing 1 tide and 1 duracell battery =$18.98) 5 cans of pringles is all it takes. This brings the total to $26.18. There are $1/4 coupons in the 3-7 and 4-4 PG.

    To complete transaction #3 and make it over $20, 8 cans of pringles could be purchased, using two of the $1/4 coupons.

    1 Duracell Batteries $9.99/1
    if purchasing the 20+5 get $3 scr
    8 Pringles Super Stack $1.49/1, $11.92/8
    use 3-7 PG $1/4
    use 4-4 PG $1/4
    (if your stores accept wellness coupons, there are coupons this week for $.50 off a snack purchase of $1 or more.)
    =9.92/8 ($5.92/8 if using wellness)
    (note: some RA's that Do accept wellness coupons do not accept more than one like coupon per transaction. Be prepared in case this is the situation!)

    If you don't want all the pringles, buy the 5 to get the scr, then find products at least $2.81 before coupons. The BOGO crunch coupons(3-7 SS or 3-21 SS) and the Reese's Dark chocolate coupons ($.55/1 3-14 SS plus in-ad $.45/1) come to mind.

    8 Pringles:
    Total before coupons = $21.90
    - $5/20 Rite Aid Video Values coupon
    - $2 (in MFC coupons)
    (- $4 in wellness)
    Total OOP = $14.91 + tax ($10.91 + tax)
    - $5 SCR #77
    - $3 SCR #90
    COST $6.91 + tax ($2.91 + tax)

    5 Pringles + 4 Dark Chocolate Reese's
    Total before coupons = $20.71
    - $5/20 Rite Aid Video Values coupon
    - $6 (in MFC and in-ad coupons)
    (- $8.50 total w/ Wellness))
    Total OOP = $9.71 + tax ($7.21 + tax w/ Wellness)
    - $5 SCR #77
    - $3 SCR #90
    COST $1.71 + tax (MAKE $.79 - tax w/ Wellness)

    I hope this helps!

  4. Thank you, thank you!!

    I just haven't had the time to do anything else with these transactions. I'm so glad that you finished SCR #77! I knew that I was kind-of dropping the ball on that one.

    Scott is doing better on meds. Off meds, he's still feverish and his shoulder is in a lot of pain. We're going in again today.
