  Thanks for the match ups! In my Thanksgiving day news paper there was a $3/2 any Durcell Battery coupon that would make the deal a little sweeter! Ecspecially with christmas around the corner and EVERYTHING takes batteries! HAHAHA! Thanks again!

  Hey Colin,

  Thanks. The Jollytime Popcorn is actually a money-maker if you are a member of Saving Star. The link you posted is to Saving Star for $.50 plus the $.50 coupon to use in the star makes 2 singles FREE + $.10, please correct me if I’m wrong.

        saving star is a website that you can load local grocery store,rite aid,cvs savings cards onto to save more. If you buy the items, the coupon you load on saving star will go into your wesite account. You have chioces to get that money, example..paypal account once you reach $5. You still use your MQ’a at the register too, so it’s like stacking only the saving star does not come right off, but into your account. I just load them all and if I happen to buy the items then I earn without even thinking about it. Go to collins top of page, under coupons click saving star and it will take you to the website.

  Hi Collin,

  Thanks for all the great deals. I just got back from Rite Aid with this coming week’s ad and noticed there is a $10 dollar off any fragrance priced $26.99 and up! Combine this with the Heat Rush by Beyonce Coupon for $5 or the Heidi Klum $5 coupon for Shine and you have a nice christmas gift for $11.99!! Both coupons are in the November issue of All You!!

    Holiday fragrance gift sets are on sale this week for Buy 1 get 1 50% off. I guess the only way you could use the $10/1 in-ad coupon would be is if the gift set cost over $26 you could try it and it would be YMMV.

    At my store, Beyonce Heat is $34.99 so it would be $19.99 after in-ad coupon and $5/1 All-You coupon.

  I just did the Wahl promo the other day because we ran our clippers into the ground. You can print out a $5 rebate form here:

  http://www.wahlhomeproducts.com/images/uploads/90001-1111-13012genweb1.pdf

  I took the rebate form with me to make sure the clippers I bought were eligible for the rebate. I got the Chrome Pro for $30 OOP + $10+UP + $5 rebate = $15 Wahl clippers! They are really nice too and have a 5 year warranty.

    That messed me up many times too. Everytime I got one, except once, it never took the % off. Problem is they scanned and took it and it was then no longer valid. I asked before handing it over too, and the cashier said it would take it right off, but didn’t. I wasnt happy being it was entire purchase and wasted each time. They wouldn’t even replace it I dont listen to them anymore, most times they dont even know.

I was glad you were able to post the Black Friday listing early. I’d informed my brothers about the HP all-n-one printer for $19.00. They were looking for something at reasonable price and they love HP products. Keep up the good work. Have a Blessed day!!

  Hello Collin,
  I have a question on a coupon and a deal at rite aid. In the P&G insert 11/27 there is a coupon for $5.00 off buy ONE Gillette Fusion ProGlide Cartridge, get $5.00 off ONE Gilette Fusion ProGlude Razor. My question is and sorry if it sounds dumb but do you get $5.00 off each or $5.00 on one? Thanks in advance.

    Collin (Mrs. Hip) says:

    November 27, 2011 at 1:40 pm MST

    Not a dumb question at all… when you use that coupon, you will get $5 off total (for purchasing both the cartridge and the razor). So you will not get $5 off each one purchased. I hope that makes sense.

Then why he heck is it in the ad? And why does it not say…not valid until 11/30? Taking it all back and telling them. I am mad!

            have you been RA’ing for long? Just asking b/c RA changed their SCR rebate period back in August or September. (it now ends the tuesday of the last week of the month and Wed starts the new SCR period) I know it is confusing and the ad SHOULD state the SCR purchase dates, esp when the previous months SCR is still active until Tuesday! But since the ad does say to ck the directory for more info, they assume the customer will. Oh, and the tags will have the purchase dates on them as well. I always double ck, b/c I’ve *almost* bought something on a Sunday, only to realize what I want to buy won’t count for the SCR until Wed.

            I would talk to the manager, very calmy!, and hopefully you can do a return w/o receipt and rebuy the items with the correct purchase dates to submit for the Dec SCR.

  I think the math might be off a little on the Duracell deal…if they are $5.74, and get $1SCR and $1UPR, plus .75 coupon, then that would be $2.96, not $2.74.

  Or did I miss something?

  Went to Rite Aid today. Got the vivitar camcorder! Got the Old Spice BOGO (w/coupon) and they had some with bonus antiperspirant. Everything I bought was directly from the list.I spent $85.01, got $24 +Up Rewards, and several one check rebates!

  The only bummer was they would not give me the flu shot coupon booklet. I did point out that it was supposed to be no purchase necessary, but the pharmacist said no.

  Has anyone been able to get the flu coupon booklet without getting their flu shot there?

  HELP! I am totally confused! I watched a couple videos about the UP rewards and I am still really confused. I have two $2 off UP rewards from last weeks purchases. I planned on buying one Tide Laundry Detergent this week for 5.97, then using a 2$ off 1 coupon to get it for 3.97, then using one of my $2 UP rewards to make the final cost 1.97. However, I then saw that the UP reward says Manufacturers Coupon at the bottom of it. Does this mean I can only buy products that I am not using a coupon with already? Or can I use all my coupons and then deduct the UP rewards off the total of whatever is left from my transaction. Help please I am really new to Rite-aid shopping. Thanks.

    It works as cash except for Alcohol, Cigarettes, Lotto I don’t know about other exclusions. But if your subtotal is 99c you couldn’t use a 1 up. Subtotal $1.00 you could use 1 Up. I just wanted to include that becasue every week I end up finding a .50c or less candy item to be able to use my Up’s most effeciently.

  My rite aid allows multiple vv coupons per trans not sure if they all do. But the was vv for the vaporizers last month and this month so I go 4 vaporizers( I have 8 kids and 5 bedrooms) good gifts for new moms though. They were $17.49 before my 20% or $13.99 after then I had 2 $1.50 off coupons found inside of a vicks product plus 4 $5 off vaporizer from vv. So my oop was $31 but this qualified me for the $10 vick up and the $10 star savings:) so I paid $31 and got back $20 I also used 2 free puffs wyb 2 vicks. I saw someone had asked about how star saving senario this is how I did it and was quite happy:)

  The Vivtar flip camera apparently does not qualify for the $10.00 SCR in the November rebate list, but you get a $5.00 SCR in the list for December. Mine just showed up today on the RA website.

  So…purchase price of $24.99, you get $5+Ups and $5SCR = $14.99 after +Ups and SCR.

    I was just wondering about that… Why does it not qualify for the November rebate???

      The $10.00 rebate was for the •5.1MP Digital Video Recorder or the
      •8.1MP Digital Camera

    I did this deal too and got rejected for the $10 rebate and was planning on taking it back. The next day then I saw that I was given a $5 rebate for the December rebates even though I bought it in November. I was hoping for the $10 SCR but I’ll take the $5 as it is a gift for my 9 year old. $10-15 for a “toy” is not so bad. It was a little unclear though in the add!

  Vivitar Digital Video Recorder w/ Flip Style Viewer $24.99
  Get a $10 Single Check Rebate #7 (only valid thru 11/29!)
  Get a $5 +Up Reward (limit 2 offers)
  Final Cost $9.99!

  I guess it’s my fault so not double checking myself, but the Vivitar only qualifies for the $5 SCR I would not have bought it for $14.99 but now I hate to return it because I received an UP for it. Any suggestions?
