Rite Aid Deal and Transaction Scenarios 3/27 to 4/2

 

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.


BE CAREFUL! Purchase #1 must be bought by Tuesday evening when the March's SCRs end. Purchase #3 can not be completed until Wednesday when April's SCRs go into effect.

I will receive a MIR check for $0. And I will have $14 in +UP Rewards left for other purchases this week or next. That's like MAKEing $11.98 on products with a sale value of $57.79!
