Rite Aid Deal and Transaction Scenarios 2/20 to 2/26

 

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?

Don't forget, this is the LAST week to earn February's SCRs and the LAST week to earn the extra $20 +UP wyb $100 worth of Winter Rewards items. It's also the LAST week to watch and earn the Feb. VV coupons.

I will receive a MIR check for $10. And I will have $13 in +UP Rewards left for other purchases this week or next. That's like MAKEing $2.35 on products with a sale value of $88.45!
