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.

This mousepad (above) can be purchased with other items to bring your total up to $20 pre-coupons. You can then use a $5/20 coupon on the transaction!! Think of it as a FREE $12.99 filler!!
Here's a scenario idea from SlickDeals: "I went to pick up my mousepad, 1 gallon of milk ($2.89), a $0.20 candy, and 2 of their brand ice cream with wellness+ card for $1.99 each (there's a 55 cents q for ice cream made out of real California milk on top of the box). Using the free mousepad q, $5 off $20 q, and two .55 cents qs. my OOP was 77 cents.)"

Sorry : ( However, it would be good for me to remind you that if you are in the habit of drinking a lot of soda/pop/coke, now is the time to stock up on it. Prices are their lowest right before a holiday - Memorial Day. The next time prices will be low will be around July 4th.)

Purchase #?? (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 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. (***This is the same deal from last week.***)

(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.)
