Rite Aid Deal and Transaction Scenarios 7/31 to 8/6

 

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.

Our Rite Aid break is over . . . !!! This is going to be a busy week.

I will end up paying a total of $4.27 OOP for products with a sale value of $131.27 (that is, if I didn't have any +UP Rewards from previous weeks . . . which, of course, I do). I will have earned $22.99 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 $10 in +UP Rewards left for other purchases this week or next. That's like MAKEing $28.72 on products with a sale value of $131.27!


Now if you have a lot of Nivea coupons . . . .

1 Nivea Creme Tin $0.99/1

- $40 +UP Reward wyb $100 worth of Nivea items = $7.75/40

Total before coupons $100.54
- $3/$15 RA survey coupon (Let's assume that you still have 1.)
- $52 (in MFC and RA coupons)
Total OOP $45.54 (Remember to use previously earned +UP Rewards to lower your OOP costs.)
earn $40 +UP Reward from Nivea
(like everything in this scenario COSTing $5.54!)
(This is just an example, but obviously this purchase could be broken down a couple of times with a few more $3/$15 coupons and this would turn into a money maker. And of course for those with more +UPs than they know what to do with, there is no need to acutally pay $40 anything OOP!)
