New to Rite Aid shopping? Visit the RiteAid page for more information.
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.
Hold onto your hat . . . or britches . . . or both, please. This is going to be another full week at Rite Aid!
I have a question for everyone. This week I changed the font color of the RA VV coupons to dark orange. Does this help you see them better (so that you know what you have to go print at a glance)? Is there a better color? Other thoughts?

(like MAKEing $10.53 on everything in this scenario!)
Based on the scenario options with the biggest moneymakers:
If I roll the +UP Rewards from one transaction to the next, I will end up paying a total of
$25.31 OOP for products with a
sale value of $99.80 (that is if I didn't have any +UP Rewards from previous weeks . . . which, of course, I do). I will have earned
$27.53 in SCRs which will get sent to me in check form (that I can cash at the bank) at the end of the month. I will receive a
MIR check for $0. And I will have
$34 in +UP Rewards left for other purchases this week or next. That's like MAKEing $36.22 on products with a sale value of $99.80!
Just to let everyone know, I'll probably be putting together some more scenarios Sunday or Monday. Check back for them.
