Rite Aid Deal and Transaction Scenarios 2/6 to 2/12

 

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.


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?

Purchase #2


working on this. . . .

Okay, let's be realistic. It's Wednesday and I haven't put together any more scenarios. I'm not going to put together any more scenarios for this week. I know it will be tough, but I figure you guys can figure out how to put together some more scenarios on your own this week.  : )  I need to get working on next week's scenarios and coupon matchups in order to not be behind next week too. Happy scenario creating!
