Cheap Medicine at Rite-Aid

This Sunday (9-28-14) in the paper there were several high dollar medicine coupons that came out. They were for Advil Cold & Sinus, Children's Advil, Dimetapp, and Robitussin. Each one was for $3/1 and each one only lasted only one week.

You can pair these with a sale at Rite-Aid to get some cheap medicine and stock up your cupboard for the cold and flu season. You could also add-match the price at Wal-Mart.

Rite-Aid 

Children's Robitussin & Dimetapp Cold Medicines $4.99

Childrens Advil $4.99

Adult Robitussin Products $4.99

Advil Cold and Sinus (20 count) $4.99

use the $3/1 coupon to bring the total down to $1.99.

There is also a $1 UP reward when you purchase these products which will be added to your wellness card for you to spend next time. Limit of 1 Up Reward per Member. This makes the deal even better.

Stock up now for the best prices of the season and be prepared when the cold and flu season hits!

Rite Aid Weekly Chronicles

This week I did things a little bit differently at Rite-Aid. My husband has a box a work which he fills up with snacks, that employees then purchase. We use the money made on that to buy more snacks and we usually net a little bit of profit. I noticed that the candy bars were on sale this week at Rite-Aid BOGO Free. So I decided to use money I had from the candy box to buy the items I wanted from the Rite-Aid ad and then use the UP Rewards from those items to buy candy bars for the box. This way it would be no money at all OOP for myself. I think it worked well to bad, many of the items I wanted to get were gone. Not to worry though I got rainchecks.

So here is what I did...

Transaction #1
2-stayfree pads $3.00 each
-used $1/1 stayfree item from 11-6 Sunday Paper
paid $4.37 from the box money
got back $4 in UP Rewards


Transaction #2
bought 8 candy bars .99 each + BOGO
Total $4.23
paid $4 in Up Rewards from previous transaction and .23 from the box money


I think this strategy worked out pretty well and if the opportunity arises I will probably do it again.

RiteAid Weekly Chronicles

I can't believe it is Saturday night already. I actually did this shopping trip on Tuesday and am just barely getting around to posting it. It has been a long week, but I thought I had better post it because I had the pictures ready and tomorrow starts another week for Rite Aid.

Hopefully I'm not to late to get at least some of them, since I know I won't be able to go in until Monday afternoon. If you plan on going this week you might want to go as soon as possible to insure you don't miss out-but I guess there is always the option of a rain check :)

Rite Aid Weekly Chronicles Week #9

The deals at Riteaid seemed a little slow this week...but I did stop in and get a couple things since I was making a trip to the bread store and it's right across the street. Here was my big purchase...Grand total $1.98. First I bought the toothbrush priced $2.99 I used a $2/1 cross-action coupon from the RedPlum Insert. I paid $1.18 OOP and I got back $1.50 Up Reward. Then I bought the Tylenol Pain Cream priced $4.99 I used a $3/1 Tylenol Precise coupon and the $1.50 Up Reward and I paid .80 OOP.
Even though it doesn't seem like much a few cheap items here and there can really contribute to your stock pile plus a few dollars at a time instead of $5 or $10 doesn't take away from as much of your grocery money either so sometimes in a way the smaller trips can be better.

RiteAid Weekly Chronicles Week 8

I went to Riteaid yesterday to get the Noxema Razors that were in the ad. They were gone so I got a raincheck for them. While I was there I was able to cash in one of the rainchecks I already had. It was for the Oral B-Spinbrushes. With the raincheck they were $3.00 each. I had $3/1 coupons for each one. So I bought 4 Oral B Spinbrushes, regularly $8.49 each, and I paid only .75 OOP for all four of them, which is just basically the tax. SCORE!

If you go to riteaid and they are out of something that has an UP Reward attached to it when they write the raincheck they will automatically deduct the Up Reward since when you cash it in that Up Reward will no longer be in effect. In a way this is sometimes better because you don't have to pay the full price up front and then get the Up Reward back.

RiteAid Chronicles Week #4 Update

I went back to RiteAid for a quick trip this morning mainly because the Video Values coupons reset for the new month and so I watched a whole bunch of videos and had coupons to use that matched up with this week's ad.
