A couple of notes to start with:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.)
- 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.
$5.00 OFF Rite Aid Cetirizine or Loratadine with a price of $10.00 or more
$2.00 OFF MycocideNail Solution Kit
$1.00 OFF Any Band-Aid Brand Adhesive Bandages or Neosporin Cream, Ointment or Spray

Many thanks to Debbie for emailing these to me.

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.

Once again, this looks like a slow week (a great week to get your feet wet if you are just starting to shop Rite Aid). And once again, I'm not too disappointed with the slow week. I needed a break from 7+ transactions a week.

COST - $0.53 + tax
(NOTE: I'm unsure of the regular prices, so beward of the Wellness+ card.)
Purchase #3 (These items are not in the ad and not on sale. This purchase only works out FREE if you have the 20% Wellness+ discount. If you have 10% Wellness+ discount the purchase would cost you $2.08 and it would cost $4.98 if you have no discount. If you are able to use multiple RA VV coupons your OOP totals would be lower than what I've stated here - you could still get the items FREE with a 10% discount.) Subtract $3 from your OOP costs if you are able to use multiples.) Thanks to Simply99 at SlickDeals for this scenario idea.
- $4/2 20% Wellness+ discount = $15.98
- 2 $5/1 Scrubbing Bubbles Power Sprayer Starter Printable = $5.98
- $1/1 Rite Aid VV coupon = $4.98/2
(or if you are able to use 2 VV coupons = $3.98/2)

- $1.80 20% Wellness+ discount = $7.18/2
- 2 FREE Refill wby Scrubbing Bubbles Extend a Clean Power Sprayer Printable = FREE
(NOTE: The max value of this coupon is $3.99, so if you don't have the 20% discount, then these will not be completely FREE.)
(- 2 $1/1 RA VV coupons if you are able to use multiple VV coupons and allowed overage = MAKE $2)
(NOTE: At this point, your total after all coupons (not including the extra 3 VV coupons) should be - $0.02 + tax. The - $0.02 should be applied to your tax and you should not need the extra filler below as your total after tax will not be below $0. However, I always find that it is better to have a filler like the one below in your cart ready . . . just in case. You never know how the cashier's day has been going. : ) If you indeed need to use the filler, your total after coupons will be $0.01 + tax.)
