Rite Aid through 10/31

I'm on week 3 of my Rite Aid trial. After this week I will submit for my Single Rebate Check (SCR) because it's the end of the month. It all seems pretty straight forward. Here is a video explaining some of the ins and outs of RA. Visit Coupons.com for a $5 off $25 coupon. Change the zip to 90210 on Coupons.com and find a $3 off $15 too! Below are our deals for this week including a GREAT scenario!

**Vaseline Intensive Care Sheer Infusion Lotion $4.99 with $4 SCR, print $1.50 coupon here = $.50 overage

So…regular jumbos after $1.50 coupons & $3 SCR = $5.49, Pure & Natural after $3 coupon & $3 SCR = $3.99, Pull-Ups after $2 coupon, $2 RA video coupon & $3 SCR = $2.99. Also, if you buy 5 packages of Huggies this week, there is a rebate for a free package of Huggies through a SCR. You can only get the $3 SCR once, but if you’re buying the pull-ups you could get the first one for $2.99 and the other 4 for $5.99 with the $2 coupons and $2 RA coupon. If you make 2 trips using a $5 off $25 and a $3 off $15 you will reduce your price per pack by $1.60 on whichever you buy. ALSO the Caregiver's Marketplace will give you $.75 back on each pack!

Wags through 10/31

**Dulcolax Balance $7 with $4RR, print the $2 coupon from here (or look for $3 peelie coupons attached to the package), then submit for this $5 rebate = $4 or $5 overage!
**Glade Fabric and Air Sanitizers $2.99 with $1RR, use BOGO coupon from the Aug or Sept All You magazine = $.99 each, after you buy 2 eligible items submit for the $5 SC Johnson Rebate = overage (depends on your 3rd item!)
** Finesse $2.50, use $1 coupon from Sunday’s paper and submit for $2 rebate from Sunday’s paper = $.50 overage OR
**LypSyl Lip Moisturizer $2.99, use $1 coupon from Sunday’s paper and submit for $2 rebate from Sunday’s paper = free

**Fiber choice (10 ct) or Beano to Go (12 ct) $2.49 with $2.49RR = free
**Super Poligrip Denture Adhesive $2 with $2RR = free
**Dove Bar Soap $0.99 with in ad coupon – give them your $1 off Dove face care coupon THEN have them scan the in-ad coupon = free
**Act II Popcorn (individual bags) $.25 with in-ad coupon. This is a good filler if you have more coupons/Register Rewards than items. This is also a great gift basket item – I’ve given them before along with a seasoning mix like caramel popcorn or chocolate popcorn
**When you buy $10 in Quaker products you’ll get a $5 RR. There are lots of options, but if you buy 4 Quaker Oats @ $3.19 each, use 2 - $1.25 off 2 Quaker coupon from the paper, use BOGO Wags in-ad coupon (will take off $6.38 for 2 free ones) = $1.12 overage after RR. If you don’t have the $1.25 coupons anymore (like me) you would end up paying just $1.38 for all four (think holiday baking!).
**Glad Trash Bags 25-80ct. $5.99 with $1RR, print this $1 coupon here = $3.99! (sorry, you’re probably not going to get free trash bags, so this is a great price!

And don’t forget about all the monthly deals that are ending this week! The only one that is questionable is the Gillette razor – it may be up to the full price of $11.99, so it would cost $1.99 after coupon and RR…just check the shelf before you buy it!

Rite Aid through 10/23

Okay, I'm trying Rite Aid again. Taking on three drug stores is pretty overwhelming, but really, CVS has been stinking it up on the sale end and I haven't been in weeks. So perhaps Rite Aid will be my new replacement. The only down side is there is no instant gratification (no Register Rewards or ECBs). All their super deals come in the form of rebate checks (SCR - single check rebate), so this month I am going to be spending quite a bit of money before I see the profit (you may only submit for your check once, so I'm waiting until the end of the month). Is anybody with me? Here are the deals this week:

**Blink Tears Lubricant Eye Drops $7.99 with $7.99 SCR, use $4 coupon from paper or $1.50 coupon here = $1.50 - $4 overage
**Little Allergies Allergen Block $9.99 with $9.99 SCR, use $3 coupon = $3 overage
**Zucol Cold Care Lozenges $5.99 with $5.99 SCR, use $2 coupon from paper = $2 overage
**NeilMed SinuFlow Rinse or Nasogel $5.99 with $5.99 SCR, print a $2 off coupon here = $2 overage
**NeilMed Nasal Mist Saline Spray $9.99 with $9.99, print $2 coupon here = $2 overage
**Children’s Cold Calm Pellets or Cough Syrup $7.99 with $7.99 SCR, print $1 coupon here = $1 overage
**EOS Lip Balm $1.99 with $1.99 SCR = free (I got one of these as a free sample once and they are pretty cool – they are round balls of lip stuff)
**Little Colds Cold Formula $3.99 with $3.99 SCR = free
**Little Colds Mucus Relief or Sore Throat Melt $5.49 with $5.49 SCR = free
**Kids Chloraseptic Throat Spray or Relief Strips $4.49 with $4.49 SCR = free
**Sambucol $7.99 with $7.99 SCR = free (however, look inside for a $3 coupon)
**Cepacol Fizzlers $4.99 with $4.99 SCR = free
**Hershey’s Extra or Special Dark Candy Bar $.99, use $1 coupon from paper = free

If you take advantage of all these rebates you would spend about $62.88 out of pocket (+ tax) and would receive $76.88 back for a profit of $14! For less out of pocket and even MORE profit split your trips up and use the $5 off $25 coupon a few times.
