Rite Aid 3/2/10

It's a new month of rebates at Rite Aid!!!  And there are some great clearance deals to go with the rebates!  After traveling to roughly all of the Rite Aid's in the greater Buffalo area, I can tell you that they should have many face products and hair products on clearance for 50% off - even if they are not marked as such, ask, and they will probably ring up half price!  In particular I was looking for the 30 count Biore face wipes and John Frieda hair care (for curly hair!).  So today I got:

Biore 30 ct. cloths = $3.99 (bc they were 50% off) x 2 - 2 $2 WQ - $2 off 2 MQ (these coupons can be found right in the box of the products!)

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Spiral Spray = $3.24 (also 50% off) x 2 - 2 $1 off hair care coupons from bottom of previous receipts - 2 $1 MQ

3 Snickers bars, on sale for 50 cents each = $1.50 - $1 MQ

Also used a $3 off $15 purchase

Total = $2.57

This becomes an even better deal because both the Biore and John Frieda products count for rebates - if you buy $15, you get $5 - and you can do this up to 3 times!!!  So I now have $14.46 towards the rebate.  Plus, for the JF, if you buy a styler and a shampoo or conditioner (I have not done this yet), you will get back the price of the shampoo or conditioner!  I will be purchasing one of those, as well as more clearance Biore and John Frieda - I will let you know my total savings once I've made all my purchases!  

RA February Total

I felt like I went a little crazy at Rite Aid last month, since their new Wellness Program allowed you to get some really great deals (it is only available in select areas, including Buffalo and San Diego - random!) but I wondered if it was really worth it so I decided to see exactly how much I spent.  In totaling all my receipts for Feb. I came up with a grand total of $26.76 (some of this was actually paid using giftcards but I'm not factoring that in).  For how much stuff I bought, that in and of itself seems like a great deal!  But if you factor in the rebates, it gets even better...

Total = $26.76

- $17.99 back in rebate check from RA

- $5 RA gift card from Nivea

- $15 Visa Reward Card from P&G

- $10 RA gift card from Healthy Heart

= a profit of $21.23!!!  

Plus if you factor in the Olay Quench Body Lotion rebates, which I did get ($28.96) and the Physician's Formula Bamboo Wear Compact ($5.21) rebate I should be getting as well...

+ $34.17

= A PROFIT OF $55.40!!!!!!!!

I guess it really is worth it!

 I love the new Rite Aid Wellness Program!!!

Rite Aid 2/7/2010 Emily

Well as Patchouly has already noted we haven't been very good about updating the blog recently. I haven't been very good about it for two main reasons. First I really haven't been so serious about the CVS/Rite Aid deals because there just doesn't seem to be as good of deals recently. Second I've been a bit obsessed with seeing free movies as you'll soon see. Today I did get some good deals at Rite Aid so I thought I would go ahead and update the blog with this deal and all the movies I've seen.

Hershey Miniatures and Reeses Cups 2 for $5-$2 coupon=$3
Electrasol Dishwasher Tabs $4.49-$1 coupon-$1.50 SCR=$2.99
Glide Floss $3.99-$.75 coupon=$3.24
Gillette Fusion Shave Gel $2.99-$1 coupon-$1 SCR=$.99
I also used my $10 off Reward from the Holidays so after SCR I actually made $.61!

Rite Aid Emily 2/6/09

For some reason the ads for Rite Aid in Southern California come out on Friday instead of Sunday, like normal. So today I headed to Rite Aid to get my free stuff! It wasn't the best Rite Aid day but I did get a few good items and made some money. The Fructis Hairspray is free after rebate plus I used a $1 coupon so I made a dollar there! I also bought Nivea lip care for $2.99 even though the rebate is for only $2. I also used a $5 gift certificate I received from Rite Aid for buying merchandise during the holidays so I got everything for free and will get a $5 rebate back!
