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.
So far this is not an overly exciting week for me. Let's see if I can dig anything else up. : )

If I roll the +UP Rewards from one transaction to the next, I will end up paying a total of $2.57 OOP for products with a sale value of $60.57 (that is, if I didn't have any +UP Rewards from previous weeks . . . which, of course, I do). I will have earned $12 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 $2 in +UP Rewards left for other purchases this week or next. That's like MAKEing at least $11.43 on products with a sale value of $60.57!

For the fish oil, can we use the RA 3 Q with a manu Q and the VV?
ReplyDeleteOfficial RA policy would say that you could not use the VV coupon with the RA $3/1 coupon. However, RA's own ad has contradicted RA policy on this issue many times (the in-ad Veet coupon paired with the $1/1 VV coupon last week is an example), so your store may indeed allow it. The stores in my area do. However, if you are not allowed to use them, it is well within the cashiers/managers right to refuse them since RA's official policy does back them up.
