Rite Aid Deal and Transaction Scenarios 10/16 to 10/22

 

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 will have earned $10.99 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 for $10 (See purchase #1) which I can also cash at the bank. And I will have $6 in +UP Rewards left for other purchases this week or next. That's like MAKEing $22.17 (or more with 20% discount) on products with a sale value of $94.06!
