Rite Aid Ad Preview 3/7 to 3/13

Below is a preview of the Rite Aid ad for next week. Please remember that ads and prices can vary some by region. You can see a larger version of the ad here. Thanks to SpendingImpairedMomma.

See any great deals? Please post a note about them in the comments.

Almay eye cosmetics (pg. 10) are B1G1 with a $5 SCR on 2. Use 2 $2/1 (02/07/SS) and I'm guessing that we have a moneymaker if you haven't already done this SCR for the month.


Thanks to HCW.

Monthly Walmart Deals Feb.-March

Print out a copy of Walmart'sCouponPolicy and carry it with you. Some cashiers and even managers do not know their own store's policy. They will tell you that you are not allowed to use coupons (think internet coupons or MFC that will make an item FREE) that you are allowed to use, etc.

Walmart can be reached at 1-800-WAL-MART. (1-800-925-6278)

Walmart's Immediate Response Team (Bentonville office) can be reached at 479-273-4000 during normal business hours of 8am to 5pm central time. This is the number you should put in your cell phone. If you are given trouble at the store, that the coupon policy doesn't resolve (coupon issue, raincheck, or bad customer service), this is the number to call.

Walmart's prices don't change all that much from week to week, so there is normally not any good reason to run over there. As coupons come out that will make a good Walmart buy, I cut them out and put them in my Walmart pile. Then towards the end of the month, I gather up all those coupons that will expire before my next Walmart run and go cash them in.  : )  I will leave at home any that will not expire before my next Walmart run, so that if a better deal comes up at another store, I will still have the coupons and can take advantage of that deal.

NOTE: Walmart's prices do vary around the country, not drastically, but enough to make a great deal only so-so, or what was suposed to be an okay deal not worth getting. Check your local Walmart.

ALSO NOTE: If you are using more than 40 coupons or have over $50 worth in coupons, you will need to have it approved by a customer service manager. You may want to limit yourself and do multiple transactions instead.
AND 3RD NOTE: Most of the time you will get overage at Walmart; sometimes you will not. Make sure that you have extra items in your cart to eat up the overage.

Online Rite Aid Deals 2/28 to 3/6

I've had several people say that they wish there was a Rite Aid close to them. (I know that I personally would not be able to stay within my budget without Rite Aid.)

Purchases made online at RiteAid also qualify for the Single Check Rebate program, but you can't use coupons like you do in the stores. (There are some internet coupons that you are able to use.)

Today I came across a Rite Aid scenario for online shopping. It will end up costing $25.45 OOP. Then submit your receipt online, here, and get a SCR of $23. No shipping costs. That's not bad if you need any of the items.

Check out SavingMoneyPlan for the scenario!

B1G1 Purex at Walgreens

It's rumored that Walgreens currently has Purex B1G1. It may be marked as such and it may not be (you'll need to do a price check). Regular price is around $5.99/1. Use the B1G1 coupon from 2/21/RP (expires 3/7) to get 2 FREE plus tax. (NOTE: Some Walgreens won't allow this. You will actually have to buy 1 and then will be able to get 2 FREE after coupon and B1G1 sale.)
Thanks to CouponsDealsandMore.

If you have the chance to check this out, please leave a comment. I most likely won't be able to get out today to check it myself. Thanks.

A New Month: Don't Forget To . . .

It's the beginning of a new month and there are so many things to do!
  1. Coupon sites have just released a fresh batch of new coupons (and reset others). Check out Coupons.comRedPlum.com, and Smartsource.com to view the new coupons. Go ahead and print the ones that you know you will use to make sure you get the coupon before the overall print limit is reached.
  2. Upromise.com has released its new set of e-coupons. Make sure that you go add all of them to your account so that if at any time during the month you happen to purchase that item (the item has to be purchased at a store that Upromise tracks, ie. one with a store card), you will be able to earn extra college savings.
  3. RiteAidVideoValues has a new set of ads that you can watch to earn a $5/20 coupon plus coupons on individual products.
