I normally don't shop at Rite-Aid. The main reason is that when I first started couponing, I decided to focus on only a few stores, so that I didn't overwhelm myself. I picked Walgreens over Rite Aid, because at the time Walgreens had Register Rewards (which keeps my OOP low) and Rite aid had a rebate program. So instead of instantly getting back a coupon you could use in the store, once a month you were mailed a rebate for whatever select items you had purchased. However, Rite-Aid revamped their rewards system, and they now offer what is called Up rewards - which are very similar to Register Rewards. I guess the only difference is that you can "roll" them - which means that you can use an Up reward to buy the same item again, and another Up reward will print - unlike an RR. Also, multiple Up rewards will print. So if you buy 2 of the same item in the same transaction, they will both produce an Up reward. Again, unlike the RR. Those are both positive differences. Hmmm... I'm intrigued. I decided to swing in there tonight.
I got...
2x Special K ( regularly $4.79 each, on sale B1G1)
-Used B1G1 Special K from
HERE ( Took off $4.49, maximum allowed)
Paid .30 cents for both boxes!
(also I got the LAST TWO BOXES! Wooo! The coupon gods were smiling on me)
Organix Shampoo and Conditioner ( Reg $6.99 each, Sale B1G1)
These were also specially marked "extra 50% free!" So I basically got two 1.5 sized bottles for the price of one regular sized bottle ( this brand never has coupons, so this is a good deal!)
Paid $7.29
Got $2 in Up Rewards. It must have been from the Special K, because it said it was from food and snacks.
A pretty good way to start my Rite-Aid shopping!
