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.

If I roll the +UP Rewards from one transaction to the next, I will end up paying a total of $25.65 OOP (based on no discount for purchase #2) for products with a sale value of $88.45 (that is, if I didn't have any +UP Rewards from previous weeks . . . which, of course, I do). I will have earned $5 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 $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!

  1. Love the color for the RA VV qpons.

    Any SCR's worth looking into for getting? I have that $7/2 Benefiber from coupons.com but I didnt get any ads this week and ours is different from yours so I dont know ifthere is a remote possibility that its something worth looking into?

  2. Benefiber is not in the add this week, so no difference there. If you haven't already qualified for SCR #31 ($3 rebate when you purchase 1 of any variety; LIMIT 3), you should buy the Benefiber this week. If your store carries the 8 ct. Benefiber stick packs - buy those. Online price is $3.49/1. None of the stores around here carry those, so I'll assume that your store doesn't either. So buy . . .

    2 Benefiber Drink Mix 16 ct. stick packs $6.99/1 = $13.98/2
    - 20% Wellness+ discount = $11.18/2
    - $7/2 Benefiber (coupons.com)= $4.18
    - 2 $3 SCR #31 = MAKE $1.82

  3. Oh sweet! I have a dear friend that uses that stuff all the time and I was hoping to find it affordable for her. Looks like you did! THANK YOU! :)

  4. I heard L'Oreal will accept the rebate for those of us that got the $29.99 unadvertised price for the Youth code Kit. I will call myself to make sure. Erin, have you heard anything? I was planning on returning it and buying it regular price next week. It's $10!
