    Not good, Rite Aid, not good :((

    • Mer

      But thanks collin!!! Hopefully wags and cvs will be better!

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        You’re welcome, Mer! 😀

  2. Holly

    You’re ahead of schedule! Thanks Collin!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You are welcome, Holly! 😀

  3. Kristen

    There was a $2/1 salon graffix coupon on their Facebook page just a couple of days ago, not sure if it’s still there but the print limit was 3! 🙂 and these deals aren’t really as hot as I thought they’d be for a black Friday!? But I am so excited about Cvs!!!! Their sales start Sunday 🙂

    • rashelle

      I think the salon graffix and clear therapy q’s exclude trial sizes so those items won’t be mm’s.

    • Marty

      Its not your imagination Kristen, this Rite aid ad is absolutely pathetic compared to their ad the last few years. I’m pretty disappointed. But I shall join you at CVS instead 🙂

    • Taraneh

      it starts sunday? how did I miss this? can u link to the ad by any chance? thanks!

      • Kristen

        go to iheartcvs.com there is a separate black Friday 3 day ad but the 4 day ad Starting on the 18th has all the freebies after ecbs!! Hope that helps 🙂

        • Taraneh

          thanks so much Kristen!!

  4. robin

    Is the Home Improvement gift card just a gift card that can be used anywhere? because a couple of those for personal use would be great, since I could just use it on things I’d be spending money on anyway and the $20 in ups would be a bonus.

    • Emily

      The home improvement card is good for places like Lowes and Home Depot. Might be a good buy if you were planning on getting something there anyway.

    • amanda

      it says on the card packaging last time i bought, something along the lines of any home improvement store, so can be used at either Home Depot or Lowes…not sure about the smaller, less national chains/stores

      • SJ

        Did you pay any kind of a purchase or activation fee? Some of these charge a fee of a few dollars. Thanks.

        • Kathy

          No activation fee! We have used them at Lowes and Home Depot. I wonder if you can use them anywhere, really. Walmart sells home improvement stuff…

          • Kathy

            Scratch that, Zack provided the list of retailers, Thanks!

    • Zack

      This card is great! So glad they are doing the same deal again this year.
      Everyone, you can use the card at the list from their site here (the quick list barely scratches the surface, so use the search box to find more stores: https://www.homeimprovementgiftcard.com/retailers.html

      • trash2cash4u

        Do you know if you can use +Ups to pay for the Home Improvement card since it is a gift card? If so, I was thinking it would be a good idea to get the big sellers one day and then go back the next day and use the +Ups for a couple of the Home Improvement cards. I assume it would be a no go, but does anyone know for sure?

        • katie

          i think my mom tried last year and they wouldn’t let her use +ups on the home improvement gift cards. it would’ve been awesome to be able to, though.

        • Elise

          No you cannot use ups to purchase giftcards 🙁

  5. Marly

    Home improvement gift card is perfect. I am a first responder in NYC and many of my coworkers were working with me helping others knowing they themselves might not have a home to return to. Sadly some of them lost everything. I was lucky nothing happened to me. This card is perfect to give to someone who lost everything.

  6. Tarin

    I am not as excited about Rite Aid this year because you cannot use the Ups+ until the next morning. So it will be a little harder to figure out how to get out of there with the least amount of OOP as possible.

    Also there was an Edge and Skintimate $1.50/2 coupon is this Sunday’s SS.

    • Kristen

      me too!!! I hate that! That’s why I’ll just go to cvs lol

  7. rn30032

    some of the deal are good, like the Herhseys pot of gold (good chocolate)

  8. Leslie

    The home improvement card is linked to Discover cards. We used ours
    last year at Lowes, but it says you can use it anywhere that accepts Discover.

  9. s

    Any limits on the cereal boxes and the gels?

  10. K

    Fyi…there is a website called blackfridayfm.com and they have leaked alot of ads for black friday:)) walmart,cvs and many more.

  11. Carol_R

    Thanks for posting this so early Collin.

  12. Marion

    Holy smokes. That ad is SO WEAK. I’m not trying to be ungrateful but how disappointing! Same with CVS & Wags.

    • mel

      what? CVS has a ROCKING ad starting Sunday!! I even think Walgreens BF ad is pretty decent!

  13. Freestuffnow

    HEY!!! if you look around Rite Aid and all the other stores. You will see that your Rite Buys this month is good, buy not great. I have found that there are good deal out there on Black Friday. Yes, I’m ok there too.

  14. karen

    Hmm, not to much that’s exciting, it looks like Monster drinks and popcorn tins will be a hit for our family and Yardley soap for the gift baskets.

  15. Kasey

    For the Nivea shave gels could we use the $3 off any Nivea q10 products (coupons.com) since the ad shows a q10 shave gel. If so it would be a money maker

  16. joannge

    What is the limit on the L.A. Looks? TIA.

  17. erinlinthicum

    CVS wins !!

  18. Sara

    Bah, humbug! Rite Aid’s been so lousy lately!

  19. tiffany

    Only a couple items seem good. If anyone has tried the Kushy foot socks, they are amazing! Def worth trying for a $.99 stocking stuffer.

  20. C

    I dont think I will be stopping by Rite Aid for black friday. there aren’t any great deals in my opinion. walgreens bf ad is decent and CVS’s ad totally rocks.

  21. Jennifer

    There is an additional $2 up reward on the Arm & Hammer detergent when you buy 2. So if you have the coupon, and after up rewards when you buy 4, you are paying $1 total

    • WynetteC

      So there is a hidden $2 monthly +Up reward for this? Sweet! $1 per detergent container is something worth going to Rite Aid for. Thanks for the heads up, Jennifer. 🙂

  22. Shimu

    i saw here bf deal is 11/22-11/25 but the ad says bf deal is from 11/22-11/24. i couldn’t buy some of the good deal bcoz i was waiting to purchase tomorrow.

  23. Shimu

    however thank you for the arm and hammer update. this item is more essential for me than other deal that i missed.
