Rite Aid Scenario's Week of 6/20 to 6/26


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. Sign up for Rite Aid's Wellness+ if you haven't already done so. You can sign up for your rewards card online or in stores.
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.

  2. Awesome! Thanks to your blog, I spent $0.72oop(.52 was tax) at RA today. I purchased
    1 Motrin PM
    8 bxs Kelloggs cereal(will submit for the $5scr)
    1 Finish Quantumatic
    2 Loratadine 10ct
    1 Colgate Pro Clinical($2 UP reward didn't print, but I called RA and they are sending me a $2 off your next purchase q)

    I was so excited! I just started tackling RA for diapers but never did too much more because I am all about using the smallest amount oop as possible. But those Allergy q's helped me so much!! You have been truly a blessing to me!
