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…

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!)

Total OOP: 5.99

My Rite Aid Trip 5/20/09

I ran to Rite Aid quick with my mama to see what we could score Wednesday night.

OH NO! Expiring Register Rewards!

Today I had a 10.00 RR expiring, and another expiring in a couple days. I ran to Bryan quick after plotting out my sinister plan. Hehehehe... I stopped at CVS for Diet Pepsi, and then to Walgreen's to spend my RR.

At CVS I used more ECB's(Extra Care Bucks) than I got back, but that's OK. I got some good sale items anyway.

I bought:
2 Post Trail Mix Cereal B1G1 4.79
Crest Pro Health Enamel 3.49
2 Skippy Peanut Butter B1G1 3.29
3 Diet Pepsi 12 pks 3/11.00

Coupons used:
2 2.00 Post Trail Mix Printable
1.00 Crest expiring 3-31 from P&G
2 0.40 Skippy
B2G1 Diet Pepsi Printable
12.97 ECB's

Total OOP 0.24 on my Gift Card!

ECB's Earned:
3.49 Crest
2.00 Pepsi

Walgreen's was actually fun! I used my expiring Huggie's RR to buy a lot of items that have a monthly rebate attached to them. There is a lot of "couponing" going on here so I will try my best to explain.

I bought:
2 Scrubbing Bubbles Natural Cleaner 2/6.00
Pledge and Multi Surface Pledge 2/7.00
Tums Dual Action 7.99
Right Guard Professional Deodorant 5.99
Walgreen's Headache Relief 2.99
2 Sambucol 12.99 each
3 bags of Easter candy 6.50 total

Coupons used:
2 1.00 Natural Cleaner
3.00 Pledge Aerosol Printable
2.00 Multi Surface Printable
3.00 Tums Printable
2 4.00 Sambucol Printable
1.50 off 3 Hershey's Easter Candy
10.00 Walgreen's coupon in the monthly booklet (took off 20.00)
1.50 Walgreen's Hershey's coupon in the monthly booklet (took off 0.50 per bag)

Will submit for Easy Saver Rebate (Monthly program)
2 1.00 Natural Cleaner
2 1.00 Pledge Products
5.00 Right Guard
2.99 Walgreen's Headache Relief

Register Rewards
Earned 3.00 for the Tums

I'll try to summarize it here. My subtotal was 62.45. After coupons at the register I owed 21.45. I then used 20.00 in RR which took my total OOP to 5.37 with tax. Not bad, not bad, but it gets better. Keep in mind I earned 3.00 RR for the Tums, and I will submit for another 11.99 in the monthly program! Including my extra 10% gift card bonus, that's a profit of 10.81 for the night!

Oh, I almost forgot! I also picked up a mail in rebate peelie for Crest Pro Health! I'll probably send that in too for another 3.25! That means I got reimbursed the cost of the toothpaste from CVS plus another 4.25 for the coupon and rebate! Thanks go out to everybody involved!

Walgreens 3/4/09

Walgreens tonight was kind of frustrating, but, in the end, turned out OK. They were out of most of the Register Reward (RR) items that I wanted, and don't get a truck in until Friday. Well, of course, I can't go again this week, but I am sure I will survive.

I couldn't quite figure out how to put this together, and I am sure I could have saved a bit more. I also screwed up my Vaseline deal by buying four bottles of lotion in one transaction. Instead of getting 8.00 in RR, I only got 2. It would have been a BIG moneymaker. I should have split them up into single transactions. Lesson learned: RR will only print for one item, not four. Buy one at a time. By the way, you can't use a RR to turn around and pay for the same item again.

Transaction #1
2 Colgate Total 4 oz. 3.49 each
Colgate MaxFresh 3.29
Gillette Fusion Gamer 10.49 (I thought this was on sale, with better RR. Guess not.)
6 Nabisco Ritz Crackers 2/1.99 (just little fellas, one sleeve each)

Coupons Used:
2.50 Colgate Total in the EasySaver Catalog (takes 2.50 off each tube)
4.00 Gillette Fusion
2-0.75 Colgate
1.50 Colgate
3-2.00 off 2 Ritz

Total OOP: 10.20 with tax
Used GC for 9.30
Paid 0.90 OOP

Earned 4.00 RR for Fusion Razor, 3.50 for Colgate MaxFresh (even though price is only 3.29)

Transaction #2 aka, the big screwup!
4 Vaseline Lotions at 2.69 each
2 Extra Gum 8 pk 2/2.49

Coupons Used:
3-1.50 Vaseline Lotion
0.55 Vaseline Lotion
In ad coupon for Extra
7.50 RR from Transaction #1

Total OOP 1.45

Earned 2.00 RR for Vaseline :( Should have been 8 RR had I thought it out a little better.

After I figured out that I screwed up, I went back to the pharmacy to redeem myself. I wanted to get the diaper coupons in the Pharmacy Savings Plan booklet. I did get a booklet, but without the diaper coupon. Then, I transferred a prescription, and got a 25.00 GC from the pharmacy for the transfer! That made me feel a little better. All in all, not a bad night. 7.35 OOP for 48.84 worth of products and a prescription. Plus, I came home with the 25.00 GC!

Rite Aid Trip 2/27/09

At other stores, I give this coupon before any others, because you need a 20.00 or 30.00 total in order to use this coupon. Hopefully this will come in handy. I think I will be waiting until Friday next week too!

Rite Aid seems to be slowing down compared to the fall of 2008, but there are still a few good deals this week.

We didn't get the 1.00 Fructis coupon in this area, otherwise this product would have been FREE (along with all of my other hairsprays from tonight)! Ughhh! I still think this is a pretty good deal, and I did pay the 1.00 for a bottle of hairspray! Better than 20.00 at a salon! Sorry sister...

99% savings, WHAT???

Tonight I had the pleasure of going last minute Christmas shopping with my dad. On the way to the big city, I made him stop at Kroger so I could "run" in. A couple weeks ago I was overcharged 6.00 on Pepsi, so I wanted to go get my money back. They did give me a refund, very pleasantly, of 6.39. The only coupons I took in were my Cottonelle, and I had six.

7 4pks of Cottonelle 6.93
Sweet and Sour Sauce (needed for supper LAST night) 2.59
King Size candy bar (we needed chocolate in a bad way) 0.79

2 0.50 e-coupons from www.cellfire.com and www.shortcuts.com

Plus, I received another 1.00 Catalina from this trip! That's a 0.77 profit on my TP!

CVS Christmas Sale

CVS is running another big sale Sunday and Monday of this week only. It is very comparable to the Black Friday Sale they had over Thanksgiving. Last week I took a new prescription over and used a register coupon for a 25.00 gift card with any new or transferred prescription. The prescription cost 5.00. This is what I will use now instead of paying cash! I made time to go over today, and it was very worth my while! Here's the lowdown.

I had 25.98 in ECB's going in today.

Rite Aid Deals 11/16/08

This week at Rite Aid is pretty slim, but I plan on stopping by! There are lots of B1G1 sales, but only one FAR product. Be sure to be ready for Thanksgiving deals. There are a few that are three days only, Thanksgiving, Friday and Saturday. Remember, if you've been doing this long enough to receive a rebate check, put it on a Rite Aid gift card so you are no longer spending cash!

Along with Walgreens, we also went to CVS. At CVS I spent 0.63 OOP for 2 Colgate toothpastes, Dawn dish soap, Covergirl Foundation, and Covergirl eyeshadow. I had been promising Bailey some eyeshadow, so that and the foundation are long gone! I couldn't include them in my picture.

Walgreens Profit 10/4/08

Saturday morning while the kids were still sleeping, I made a trip to Bryan with Nicole and Megan. At Walgreens, Nicole had some sweet deals, and combined with mine, my trip was profitable! I am realizing now that I tossed my receipts, but here is what I come up with off the top of my head.

My first transaction, I paid 17.06 OOP. I walked away with $18.50 in Register Rewards. My second transaction was 7.02, and I walked away with 4.50 RR. I have also submitted for October's monthly rebate (ESR) and will receive 5 dollars back from that as well. I don't like spending this much OOP, but I haven't received my gift card yet, which should be about 49.00. In summary, I spent 24.08 OOP, received 23.00 in RR, and 5.00 ESR for October! So yes, Walgreens paid my $3.92 to help take this stuff off of their hands! Watch out next Saturday Walgreens!!!
