Rite Aid Deal and Transaction Scenarios 4/3 to 4/9

 

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.

This appears to be a fairly good week . . . and I'm ready to get back in the game. I've been to RA twice this week and every time, every employee I saw made some comment about how they hadn't seen me in such a long time . . . awww, I was missed . . . then again, maybe they were glad to have a break from me.  : )


Purchase #1 (If you have a card with NO Wellness+ discount, USE IT for this transaction.)

Total before coupons $29.97

If I roll the +UP Rewards from one transaction to the next, I will end up paying a total of NOT MORE THAN $20.96 OOP for products with a sale value of $64.67 (that is, if I didn't have any +UP Rewards from previous weeks . . . which, of course, I do). I will have earned $23.96 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 $5 in +UP Rewards left for other purchases this week or next. That's like MAKEing at least $8 on products with a sale value of $64.67! (It should be noted that you could make as much as $14.50 on these items . . . actually more if you have more than one $3/$15 survey coupon. Your OOP costs could also be a lot less.)
