Rite Aid 4/18 to 4/24

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. There does not appear to be a limit as to how many Video Values accounts you can have per address. . . so sign up your husband, and the rest of your family, and earn more coupons if desired.
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.)
4. Rite Aid has just rolled out their new program Wellness+ nationwide. If you haven't already done so, sign up for your rewards card online or in stores.

Wellness+ coupons here (**These are the good values!!**) for $3/$15, $2/1 cosmetic purchase $2.99+, $2/1 vitamin purchase $5.99+, $2/1 cough or allergy purchase $2.99+

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.

Okay, here is where my brain started going in 8 different directions . . . so give me time to put this into scenarios . . . or do it yourself and share it with us.

Items that are FREE after coupon or if your RA allows, will give overage:

Natures Bounty vitamins (pg. 6) B1G1 = $??/2
- 2 $5/1, $3/1, or $2/1 (Go here to sign up, Or go here to log in. Search your shelves for previously bought Natures Bounty vitamins. Enter the codes and print the best coupon you can. This coupon should be able to be printed 6 times!! Go buy your vitamins. Enter in your new codes and if you have enough points, you can print another set of $5/1 coupons - you must print from another computer.) = $??/2
[ or - 2 $1/1 Nature's Bounty Vitamins/Supplements, exp. 5-1-10 (RP 03/14/10)]
- 2 $1/1 Natures Bounty RA March and April VV coupons = $??/2
- 2 $2/1 vitamin purchase Wellness+ coupon (vitamins must be at least $5.99/1) = $??/2

$1/1 Burts Bees Natural Acne Solutions RA April VV coupon
(NOTE: The idea here would be to buy something for $2.49 or as close to that as possible and be able to use $1/1 coupon. 11 items at $2.49 each would = $27.39 This would then qualify you for the SCR below.)
 $5 SCR #75 wyb $25 Burt’s Bees, Brita or Green Works Products = ??
