Rite Aid Deals Week of 3/7/10

This is a great week for diapers at Rite Aid!  The best weekly SCR is for Procter and Gamble Products.  When you by 30.00 worth of products, you will receive a 10.00 Rite Aid gift card.  There are many options to put scenarios together, so I will put a few up, along with other deals that caught my eye.  I am very disappointed we didn’t get the John Frieda or Biore coupons as I was expecting, but often the coupons in the inserts are regionally based.  Oh well, maybe next time. 

When doing these deals, don’t forget to use a $/$ coupon.  There are several available, including 5/20.00 via Rite Aid Video Values, 3/15.00 and 5/25.00.  The latter two require printing only, and no significant amounts of time.  Depending on your schedule, choose the one that works for you, and keep your total close to that amount (15, 20, or 25.00).  Do multiple transactions if you need to, and remember, the P&G items do not need to be purchased in one transaction.  Just sometime this week.

Rite Aid Deals Week of 2/28/10

Rite Aid is on it this week with tons of great finds!  There are many items on sale for 0.99 and tons of SCR items that end up costing 0.99 or less.  Even a few money makers!  I’m going tomorrow, on 2.28.10, as many of the coupons I want to use will expire tomorrow.  I’m normally a Saturday shopper, which usually doesn’t work to my advantage.

If you aren’t into taking the time to watch the Rite Aid Video Values ads, there are two new coupons available.  A 3.00/15.00 purchase coupon is available here, and it expires on 3.31.10.  A 5.00/25.00 purchase is available here.  When using these coupons, keep your purchase total as close to 15.00 or 25.00 as possible, depending on the coupon you choose to use.  Do a couple transactions if necessary!

Also, tomorrow begins a new rebate period, and I am very excited about the rebates that March has to offer.  If you are owed a rebate check for February, go ahead and request it now, if you have entered in all of your receipt information for the month.  On to the deals…

$1.50 EPIPHANY

Well, tonight I learned something new.  Just when I thought that I had this couponing thing down, I was reminded that, well, I don’t.  I went to the convenience store tonight to get my papers with a dear friend who has a great blog at www.megasimple.blogspot.com. 

I always pick up two copies of the Toledo Blade at 2.00 apiece, and ALWAYS recoup my money from that purchase.  Tonight there were only two copies of the Toledo Blade, and Megan graciously allowed me to purchase both copies.  She turned to grab an alternate paper, and picked up the Saturday edition of the Bryan Times.  Well guess what?  The Saturday edition of the Bryan Times has the EXACT same coupons as the Sunday Toledo Blade!  And the cost?  50 cents. 

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what comes next.  I don’t even read the paper.  Thanks Meg, and I hope you enjoy your Bryan Times.  :)

Rite Aid Deals Week of 2/14/10

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Rite Aid has some good deals this week that aren’t so overwhelming! I recently had a suggestion to tell readers how to shop at Rite Aid in a simpler fashion, so I am going to try my best. The Olay deal involves a mail in rebate…although I don’t usually participate in these, I may here because I have plenty of “Rite Aid money”, and there are some great coupons out for Olay products, resulting in a profitable trip!


The ad shows Olay Skin and Bath Care Products at a price of 3 for 18.00. There is a manufacturer’s Mail in Rebate form here, and the final cost is 3 products for 3.00. There are also Olay coupons, and if you have access to a few of them, the products will be at least free, and possibly a 7.00 profit. I have an Olay Regenerist coupon for 3.00 off in the P & G ad from 1.17.10. There are also two other 1.00 coupons in that insert as well. Utilize three coupons for at least an even break!

Another simple sale is the GE Extra Soft White Light Bulbs in a 4 pack. On sale for 2/4.00, there is a 3.00/2 in ad coupon, making the final price 2 for 1.00.

Motrin PM 20 count is on sale for 2.99. There is a 1.00 Motrin coupon available to make this item free.

If you choose to put them together, here is a scenario suggestion.

Buy:
3 Olay Regenerist Cleansers 18.00
Motrin PM 2.99
Total Due: 20.99

Coupons:
5/20 from Rite Aid Video Values (worth your time to watch the ads!)
3 3.00 Regenerist Coupons (or 3 1.00 coupons if that is what is available to you)
1.00 Motrin
Total OOP: 5.99

Rebates:
SCR 2.00 for Motrin
15.00 MIR for Olay products

Final cost: 11.00 profit!

My Personal Fav Sale

Lately I haven't posted much about sales at Chief, but starting today through next Wednesday, the Super Double sale is here!  Here are the rules for the week!

Super Double Coupons Policy
Manufacturer’s coupons up to $1.00 will be DOUBLED.  Coupons over $1.00 but less than $2.00 will be at $2.00.  Coupons over $2.00 will be face value only.

• Limit one manufacturer’s coupon for any particular item.

• Items must be purchased in the same brand and size specified on the coupon.
• No substitutions please.
• Amount refunded cannot exceed the retail price of the item.
• Tobacco product coupons will be redeemed at face value.
 • This offer does not apply to free coupons or Chief and Rays coupons and other retail store coupons.
• No rain checks.
• Catalina coupons will be redeemed at face value, and will not be doubled.
• Coupons that state DO NOT DOUBLE will not be doubled.
 
I can usually find great items at a great price, and if I have time, I love walking throught the store looking for additional sale items.  This is one of my favorite times to stock up on yogurt too!  Here are a few items that have coupon match ups.  I will update if I find more...feel free to help by commenting!

Kraft Cheese 2/4.00 with in ad coupon
According to the manager that I spoke with tonight, the in ad coupon can be used in addition to a manufacturer's coupon.  He also said the in ad coupon will double as well, but I don't really believe that.  Earlier there was a 1.00/2 Kraft Cheese printable that will double.
