"Follow Me Monday" to Rite Aid…
Yippee! I am so excited about this “Follow Me Monday” video. First, because it’s my first real “Follow Me Monday” video since taking a break this summer and second, because I get to shop at Rite Aid– one of my favorite stores! 😀
Thanks to Rite Aid, I was able to get permission to film at my local Jacksonville, North Carolina Rite Aid. The video below highlights all the great deals that I was able to score (keep in mind that this video was filmed back in August, so the deals are not available anymore) and also shows how the +Up Rewards program works. In addition to the video, please read through the outline below which will help you to become a very “Hip” Rite Aid shopper (this outline will be especially helpful for new couponers or those of you who have not yet shopped at Rite Aid)!
(1) Head over to Hip2Save and check out the weekly Rite Aid store deals. These deals highlight all the current Single Check Rebates, +Up Reward items, and sale items paired up with manufacturer coupons, Rite Aid in-ad coupons, Video Values coupons, and total purchase coupons (if applicable). Click on the print icon (located to the right of the post title) for the Rite Aid weekly deals and you can print out your own personalized list to take with you into the store. Pay special notice to the deals that I have highlighted in red as these are my favorite deals for the week.
(2) Get to know the Rite Aid Video Values program. This program allows you to watch a quick video advertisement (usually 30 seconds-several minutes) and then be rewarded with a coupon for the advertised product. These Video Values coupons are actually Rite Aid store coupons and CAN be stacked with manufacturer’s coupons! Keep in mind that your coupons can only be printed once. To print coupons, go to the My Rewards tab, check the box of the coupon(s) you want to print, and then click the print coupons button. When you have watched 20 video credits, you will earn a bonus coupon of $4 off any purchase of $20 or more (this bonus coupon is limited to one per customer per month).One of the best perks about the Video Values coupons is that they typically do not expire until the end of the following month AND they do not have to be printed immediately. For this reason, I recommend that you watch all of the available Video Values programs each month… you will then have access to all the coupons in the My Rewards tab, so that you can print them at a later date if you need them to snag a great deal.
(3) Get to know the Single Check Rebate program. This program allows you to buy participating Single check Rebate products, then submit your receipts online and get a check in the mail. Each month, Rite Aid will release a new rebate booklet in-stores advertising all the current Single Check Rebate items; you can also go here and browse through the rebate offers online. Keep in mind that some Single Check Rebates are only valid for one week, while others may be offered for the whole month. Make sure to check the dates closely for each participating Single Check Rebate item.
As you make purchases throughout each month, you can save your receipts and enter them online all at once at the end of the rebate program period (typically this is the end of the month). If you prefer, you can enter your individual receipts each time you make a purchase throughout the month (there is no limit to the number of receipts you can enter); I prefer this option as there is less of a chance that I will lose the receipt(s) or forget to enter it. At the end of the month, request your rebate by clicking the request rebate button. Do NOT click the “request rebate” button if you are planning on purchasing more Single Check Rebate items before the rebate program period has ended as Rite Aid ONLY allows one submission per household.
(4) Become a Wellness + Rewards member…it’s FREE and necessary to be a savvy Rite Aid shopper! You’ll earn points each time you shop that will enable you to snag special discount passes and more. Be sure that the cashier scans your Wellness + card prior to you checking out (if you forget your card, just give them your phone number).
(5) Get to know the +Up Rewards program exclusively available to Wellness + Rewards Members. Each week, you can browse the Rite Aid weekly ad for featured +Up Rewards products (or just check out the weekly deals at Hip2Save). Buy these products using your Wellness + card and you’ll receive a +UP Reward which consists of a coupon or a number of coupons that print at the bottom of your receipt and can be used on your NEXT purchase like cash. Each advertised +UP Reward is limited to 1 per wellness card (unless otherwise stated). And here’s the best part… there is no limit to the number of +Up Rewards redeemed in a single transaction as long as the pretax total is greater than the combined value of the +UP Rewards.
(6) Read through the Rite Aid corporate coupon policy. I always recommend that you print a copy of this policy and bring it with you while you shop. If any issues should arise, this coupon policy should definitely help clear things up!
Now check out this new “Follow Me Monday” Rite Aid shopping video… Enjoy!
**If you can’t see the video, then go here to watch it.
I have two rite aids near me, th eone closest is very understanding about coupons and the other not so much. One time I had lady refuse to even look at the coupons I had because she said itlooked like too many and she wasnt taking them. I asked her what her coupon policy was and she said for me not to get things free. The cashier said it wasnt fair for me to get dipers so cheap…seriously?? I called their manager and now I just smile at those cashiers every time i go in there because the manager set then straight..he said his wife is a coupon lady so he completely understands:P
I was curious about the Complete Multi-purpose solution deal, the one that you mentioned in your Follow Me video. I couldn’t find this deal in the rebate booklet or this week’s circular.
Can you tell me where exactly can I find this?
Can anybody help me find this deal? As stated in Collin’s Follow Me Video, I wanted to buy the Complete Multipurpose Solution which is on sale for $7.99 with a SCR of $7.99. I am unable to find this deal / rebate anywhere in the circulars. I will be paying for the Complete multipurpose solution with my previous UP rewards, so I can’t return the solution for a refund. Just to be sure, I would like to know where is this deal / rebate advertised?
Alisha, if you carefully read Collin’s post above, she does note that this was filmed in August. The deals she is getting in this video are not for the current week.
Thanks much pg. I missed to read that. I thought it is for current week.
Yeah! Follow me Monday is back!
Thank you for posting this! I’m trying to get my sister to be more coupon savvy, so this should help… I hope! lol
I really liked the video but am just curious were you got your shirt it’s sooo cute. 🙂
Has anyone tried to use more than one of the same Up Rewards in one transaction. For example if I get 4 Maybelline Mascara’s in separate transactions and get 4 up rewards can I use those 4 Maybelline up rewards in my next transaction or will the register refuse “like” coupons.
Thanks!
Yay!!! I have missed Follow Me Monday videos SOOO….much!!! Thank you so much Collin for all you do! 🙂
HELP! I have been trying all weekend to watch Video Values on Rite Aids site and it won’t let me. It keeps telling me that the video I’m trying to watch is not available and to pick another, but when I pick another it says the same thing. Is anyone else having this problem? I’m so frustrated! I’ve tried to log on on numerous computers and even tried to make another account in case something had gone wrong with the one I already had but to no avail.
I’m having the same problem & can’t figure it out. 🙁
Collin You are so Lucky! I live in Dallas, Texas, we have no Rite Aids! Just Wags and CVS. There used to be Eckerds but they got turned into CVS. When I did live in a state that had Rite Aid, I hated it, very boring store, but now after watching this video, I might give it a shot when I see my friend in North Carolina.
Can I earn use up rewards from a previous transaction and earn up rewards in one transaction? For example, if I have a $2.00 up reward can I use it to purchase a $2.00 item that also offers a $1.00 up reward?
