I just got back and stocked up on the .19 wrapping paper!!! yeah
I just went and got a Toy Story hot chocolate set with two mugs and mixes for 1.49! WOOHOO!
I hit the jackpot at Weis a few weeks ago and got Legos sets at 90% off! I got as many as I could carry!
oh my gosh that is absolutely amazing!!! we don’t have that store here in washington….lego sets never go below 50% here and are usually gone at 30%
Wow! Jackpot, all right!
we went to kohls and found 5 packs of hallmark holiday bags marked down to a dollar..after our 30% off it ended up being 14 cents per bag!
My Rite Aid had 90% of Christmas items but very very limited stock left. Also, some of the Physician’s Formula and Revlon items were marked 75% off.
Mine went 90% today too. Amazingly I got a 42″ giant doll for 2.99 as it also rang up 90% off. Check your seasonal toys too. The christmas totes they took away from me at the register and told me they were only 50% and refused to even price check them…….. I asked for a manager and he told me that they were 50% and I asked why the 90% sign and he said cuz he took off the 50% signs this morning…….. Makes no sense to me but he told me “show me a sign that says 90% off christmas totes” very rude arrogant man he was………….. Oh well. I scored some TP!! Tried calling customer service but theyre closed today.
Most of the time the totes don’t go on the same clearance as the Christmas decorations etc…. Because they are meant for AFTER Christmas storage.
Now that was just poor customer service and a terrible example the manager set for the other employees. I hope you call customer service when they open back up!
As a Rite Aid store manager I must say I am appalled at the actions of this particular manager. What kind of example is he setting for his employees. I would have gave them to you at 90% off. Its just good customer service.
I got an awesome Star Wars mug originally for $14.99, and I paid $1.49. I also got 2 decorations originally $7.99, and I paid $.79 for each. My store still had a wide selection. I am gonna check out the other Rite Aid’s in the town tomorrow. 🙂
I bought this mug right before christmas and paid $7.99. My son is a huge Star Wars fan and he absolutely loves it. Wish I could get more stuff for 90% but here in New York it goes pretty fast.
I did great today at Riteaid.
I got 4 digital photo Christmas Ornaments for $1.50ea (Normally $14.99).
A roll of wrapping paper $0.19 (they had lots but I didn’t really need any still have lots from last year).
2 cookie jars for $0.99 each (Orig. $9.99ea).
A large polar bear christmas count-down for $1.99 (reg 19.99).
32 Christmas Stockings $0.24 each (Orig. $2.49ea) (Will save for my sons school christmas party next year)
3 Santa hats (Nice ones) $0.69ea (normally $6.99ea)
3 Portable Speakers $0.59 ea (normally $5.99ea)
50ct Excedrin (used free MQ)
I am sure there was more stuff but I can’t think of it right now.
I used $21 in UP Rewards and spent about $3.00 OOP Mostly tax.
Great day at Riteaid for me. 🙂
Watch out on those speakers if they’re the “eco-friendly” ones. I bought 2 different ones in hopes of using them for my netbook and they didnt work. The sound came out like a whisper! I had to return them… although I got them when they were only 50% off… At least $.59 isn’t much to lose!
Just to let you know, I went into CVS today to get the pepsi deal and saw the lady packing up all the Christmas stuff. I asked her what she was doing with it and she said that corp said they had to throw it all away today! They werent going to mark it down to 90% off. So I told her I was going to come back and get it from the dumpster and donate it to the hospital. ( they had alot of the stuffed reindeer left) As I was bringing my cart back in from the car she chased after me and said they were calling corp to see if they could just send it home with me now. So waited while they talked to them and found out an email went out earlier that said they were spose to mark it down to 90% instead of throwing it away. Bummer for me. But my point is, I wonder how many places do this!! Just throw the stuff away. Its crazy. Now I kind of want to go store to store and find out! (:
I use to work at TJ Max and I will tell you they do this very often. We have a garbage in the back that can not be opened from outside. They rather throw it away than to give it away even to employees. So very sad but true.
I’m not here to bash America because God knows we’ve got some wonderful troops out there keeping America free and safe but it’s “Corporate America” that gets me. Even though there was a mix up with what the store was supposed to do with the leftover merchandise, I’m sure there are in fact plenty of stores that just throw those items away. When I was furnishing my house, I went to a particular home decorating store (I won’t mention the name) and found an incredible deal on a dining room table and was told by the staff that the table was so cheap because this was it’s last day on the sales floor and if it didn’t sell today, it was to be destroyed!!! What the heck??!! Hopefully they didn’t just tell me that so I’d buy it (which I did…a deal’s a deal no matter what sad story you attach to it!). Anyway, they told me that’s what they do with all their merchandise that doesn’t sell after a period of time. When I asked what they mean by “destroy”, I was told that they literally break down the merchandise by any means necessary and throw it in the dumpsters. When I asked why they didn’t just donate it, they said it was just corporate rules! America is often referred to as “the land of plenty” but we won’t be for much longer with that kind of corporate attitude.
Now, let me step down from my soap box…
agreed! I worked for walmart as a teenager and in my early 20’s. we threw so much stuff in the trash compactor that should have been donated, and during my time there two employees were fired for taking stuff out of it.
The reason they arent allowed to donate these items, is for liability reasons. Sad but true…
I was at my CVS tonight and the same! A lady and I were going to have a price check done on the Christmas stuff and the cashier said they were packing it all up and sending it back to cooperate! Ugh! We both looked at each other and said yes and they will throw it away….so sad! My fav manager was not there. I think I will call him in the a.m. to see what they are for sure doing with it.
My CVS did the same thing as I was shopping there today. Scanned a few things and they were FULL price. Then we saw the manager packing things up and putting them in shopping carts. I wasn’t very happy. At least if they were not going to sell it, they could donate it to the shelters or the local church.
That would explain why everything was ringing up full price for me too! I got there early Sunday AM and the cashier manually took off 90% but that would be a shame if they were really just throwing away all that stuff. I should have bought more to donate — maybe I’ll head back today and see if anything is still left.
My CVS had regular price items and I was told “Oh cmon it was on sale for 3 weeks already. You should have gotten it on sale then.”
…….. CVS has made me VERY angry last couple of weeks. Denying me even THEIR CVS deals because and I QUOTE “This item is cheap enough! Why can’t you be happy with this deal! You’ve already saved ENOUGH MONEY!” (They refused to do a CVS deal and a manufacturer deal) I will be reporting them.
my SO works for a warehouse and at the end of the year they are allowed a big bag to get items they like..this particular account is general mills so i have plenty of cake mix, cereal, fruitroll up, gushers, nature valley, canned goods as well as other stuff….whats left is trashed..sad but true
Yes they do just throw it out. I worked at a grocery store and you would not believe the amount of merchandise I threw out. Everytime they do a reset on a section ex. make up, they just throw stuff out. We get credit back from the company and the company does not want the product back. ….so sooo sad, it all gets trashed. The only thing a grocery store donates is the baked goods from bakery.
I can’t say enough good things about the Wegman’s grocery stores. In my area, they donate fresh produce, and bakery items to the local Men’s Drug and Alcohol Rehab. At first Wegman’s wanted to donate to the local food pantries, but the items were going to go bad before the pantry could guarantee delivery to those who needed it, so Wegman’s contacted the shelter. Often the men have more than they can use and they share with the members of the community who help them (those who regularly donate or help out in other ways). I actually enjoy shopping at Wegman’s because I know that they have a big heart. I wish more corporations were as kind. I understand that stores need to cover their backsides, but all the waste makes me ill.
I worked for VS last year and they made us throw out slighty damaged goods. It broke my heart to throw out PINK sweatpants that the glitter was “falling off” or lotions that had opened in shipment. I think they should have at least set up a “FREE” bin for the employees if they couldn’t donate.
I was at Crazy 8 a couple of months ago and they were taking the clearance clothing that had not sold and cutting them up. I asked and she said it was policy. I contacted Gymboree Corp which owns Crazy 8, Gymboree, and Janie & Jack about donating the clothing to the local Children’s hospital. They said that they could not do that. I asked the employees of Janie & Jack, Gymboree, and Gap Kids (different corp) and all of them cut up clothing if it does not sell after a certain time. I have since stopped shopping at those stores.
I had that happen today when I went to WAGS. I wanted to get some of the cheap xmas candy for fillers that I bought some of 2 days ago and it was gone. I inquired and they daid they just threw it all out that morning. UGH! oh well still got some xmas candles for $.04 😉
Off topic: Does anyone know if you can use a formula coupon and a formula check at the same time? I can save $5.00 with coupon plus $5.00 with check – so get a great deal on powdered formula – but, do not want to do it if it will not get the store reimbursed. THanks
yes you can from what I have read on babycenter
I’ve been wondering the same thing! But haven’ tried it yet as the check says “customer use as a coupon”..but they ring it through as a check so I’m not sure the answer. I have checks and coupons too. It would be a great deal though!
Yes, you can! The “coupon checks” are considered real $. A cashier once told me it is just deposited & let me use all ($20) worth if checks in one transaction. It never hurts to ask!
yes you can absolutely use both. Ive been doing it for over a year at stores like target, walmart, riteaid, wags, cvs. infact if u have a target coupon-u can combine that too
i have done it at safeway 3times using both….getting a stockpile now 🙂
I’ve only ever tried it at WalMart and it was a cashier who told me I could do it.
yes, when i went to rite aid for my weekly run, the lady right before me was using both the coupon and check. seemed like both went through just fine. cashier didn’t not have any problem at all.
Both my CVS and Rite Aid have 90% off Christmas stuff! (Asheville) I just went to Rite Aid today for the FREE toilet paper but I did get some great stuff at CVS yesterday: an 8ct pack of assorted gift bags for only 49 cents, a 50ct peel & stick labels pack for 19 cents, a Snoopy plush doll for 49 cents, Disney princess & Tinker Bell ornaments for only 39 cents each.
Sorry this is off topic, but can anyone point me to the CVS coupon policy? Tried to use the Orbit BOGO coupon today and they wouldn’t let me and I didn’t have the coupon policy to back me up. Thanks!
You should have been able to use that bogo q on the bogo sale. just call Corp and they’ll email you the coupon policy.
wait until the customer service back on Monday…have them call the store manager & district manager to make sure they are both well aware of their coupon policy
Thank you both! I will call corporate on Monday.
CVS does not list their coupon policy on their website. If you want a document to take to your local CVS, you can contact CVS/pharmacy Customer Relations at 1-800-SHOP-CVS (1-800-746-7287), email them at customercare@cvs.com (they also have a web based form on their website at the bottom under “Contact Us”) or by snail mail at:
CVS Corporation
Corporate Headquarters
One CVS Drive
Woonsocket, RI 02895
Email on KCL says ‘yes to bogo w/ bogo cq.
https://thekrazycouponlady.com/category/cvs/
Thanks M! I am definitely calling on Monday!
I just got a bunch of free Orbit between 2 stores~no problem!
they are supposed to accept bogo coupons with bogo sales. now the coupon was for only $1 value so you wouldve had to pay the 29 cents plus tax per set
I did pick up some Christmas ornaments today for my Aunt who doesn’t have much. Saw that 90% off and was shocked they still had some items left.
KIDS disney cars, princess, toy story and tinkerbell house slippers 50% off. 4.99 after discount.
I was at RA 20 minutes after they opened this morning I scored 3 carts full of stuff. I got a hot wheels race track 2.49, a doll with a backpack carry thing(set) 1.99. A huge buzz light year pillow buddy 1.99, Remote control thunder charger 1.99, drift legend remote car 1.99,cloth gift bag .19, Santa scarf hat .99, tree skirt .99, a basketball Santa hat .49, a discovery lamp.99, 2 wine gift bags .29 each, 2 pairs Christmas socks .29 each, singing dog 1.49, gift box .19, door foil .49, 5 choc. filled candy canes .10 each, pez .10, 2 Christmas bulbs filled with candy .10 each. I think I did well all listed was the 90% off Christmas clearance.
I also got boxes of candy canes for $.10 and something called chocolate marshmallow Peeps were $.10 also. The $3.99 boxes of ribbon candy were $.39. I saw a Santa outfit for a small dog for $.49. There were bows, wrapping paper, ornaments, garlands, wreathes and so many little items all at 90% off. The $1.00 aisle items also have lots marked down to $.50. There were mac & cheese, fruit bars, microwave cups of beans n franks, mac & cheese, chicken noodle soup Polar jarred fruit, muffin mix, pancake mix, cans beans n franks, pastas, canned chili, spices & seasonings, generic tuna helper, spray cleaning products, lots of Mr Clean brush cleaning items and lots more that I have forgotten. 1 of the Rite Aids had soft molasses & chocolate chip cookies & boxes of double decker moon pies for $.25. Lots of great bargains!
I just got home from CVS. The manager there was pulling stuff out from the store room and telling me how much it cost as she put it out. I got some amazing deals. A belgium waffle maker for $2, Crayola Spin Art for $1.50, a huge make up set for $1, a tent with a tunnel for $2, lots of Christmas stuff all less than $1 each, Bendaroos for $1.50 and small Bendaroo sets for 59c, a 200 piece magic set for $3, coffee for 13c each. I didn’t buy any of the candy, but there was ton of that too. I kept trying to leave and the manager would call me back and say I am putting out 33c socks! She and the sales lady were so nice! I had a really bad experience with a rude young manager last week (who was also extremely rude to the woman behind me in line…..seemed angry that we both knew how to shop for good deals) that this experience made me feel a lot better about CVS. How nice that they were excited to help me score some good deals. I am set with birthday presents for my nieces and nephew and I have some great fuzzy socks to wear around the house! 🙂
Wee!
I had to run errands, errands, errands today and I was soo glad! I had to hit up 3 Rite Aids to score toilet paper!!! (You know what I’m talking about, haha!) The last store had a MOUNTAIN of it… stacked up near the floor and a corner! They know how to please the customers! I am going to try and go back later in the week!
I got Twilight Eclipse board game for $2 (included in Christmas clearance!!!); a 6ft fir tree (unlit- same price as the 4.5 prelit) for $2 (my store had more left, I hope to go back and buy another one to donate to a family in need next year); Christmas light strands for 0.30 cents!
Also, I was able to get some great deals on Physicians Formula, Suave redken imitator shampoo/conditioner, and Sally Hansen! Splurged!
What’s the deal with Rite Aid toilet paper?? Why is it free? Thanks in advance for any info! 🙂
You pay a dollar for the TP but then you get a $1 up reward back. 🙂
Ooh, nice! What toilet paper is it? Is it Rite Aid brand paper? And also, is that deal permanent or limited time?
Rite Aid brand. There’s two different kinds to choose from, one is a 4-pack, and one is a single 1,000 sheet roll. Also on the 65-count cubes of Rite Aid tissues, same deal. It runs until Saturday, but I really doubt any of the stores will have enough in stock to last that long, so I’d go get some soon if you want any!
My Rite Aid would only let me do 1, they said corporate took away the +up deal except for one:(
My Rite Aid is allowing a limit of 3 starting today…
We went to Rite Aid today and using all coupon links we found through this site we scored almost $100 worth of things we would have bought anyway for only $39.00! That counted a nice Christmas ornament for $.59. I am excited to see if any Rite Aids have wrapping paper left or maybe another chain store.
My RA will not let me use coupons on clearance items, but i really don’t think that there is anything in the corporate coupon policy about this. Any thoughts?
I would contact corporate because you should be able to. Let them know you are having a problem w/ a particular store. 😉
I will have to run there first thing in the morning!
thanks

Why did everyone wait so long this year to finally mark everything down to 90%? I’m so jealous of those that have Rite Aid. I can’t wait to visit my inlaws in March. I’m hoping Rite Aid has a fab sale that week and I can score lots of goodies to leave with them. They marvel at my couponing abilities. ; )
I know. Don’t you love impressing people with it? LOL
trying to get as much money for it as possible
They are having the same sale where I live. I have several Rite Aids close by, am going to go to all of them tomorrow.
Does anyone know?
My sister’s son is 19 and has his own wellness+ card. My sister would like to use some of the rewards (he doesn’t use them) for her transactions. Is this doable? Will the register let you use +ups from another account?
Thanks for any responses!
Yes, absolutely.
Yes, they aren’t linked to the card. I use my dads all the time.
I haven’t had a problem YET.
Hello Hip2Saver’s!! This is off topic and last minute, but I have a American Eagle money card that I won’t be using. It expires at midnight. It is $10 off a $35 purchase. Who wants it????
first to enter it gets it. discount code is: 10025288334823456840
I had 5 of these that I didn’t use. I should have thought like you did and posted the code for someone else to benefit instead of letting them go un-used. I guess I know for next time 🙂
Anyone experienced this? I got a new wellness card and was using the temporary card that they allow you to print out until you get the real one in the mail. I left the temp one in a store (I think) so I had to use my phone number. Well, turns out there are two different wellness numbers for the temp card and my phone number. They should be the same number, shouldn’t they? Well, problem is that I should have reached my $100 to get my $20 up, but because the numbers are different my spending is divided between the two numbers.
just call Rite Aid and they will link them for you.
Thanks. I was hoping they would be able to fix it easily.
Wanted to let you know that I found a lot of things on clearance and 50% off at my RA. They had the VEET hair removal 50% off, with the $3 off any Veet I got it for about $2. Also they had the renuzit adjustable cones that are the winter or holiday scents on clearance for .64. With the buy 3 get 3 and the $.55 on 3, they are really really cheap – also I walked over to the current renuzit cones, and they had the same apples and cinnamon just in a different doecorated cap for the .99.
I found Mitchum Deodorant on clearance for 50% off! Clearance prices were $1.99 and $2.49. Use the $2/1 InAd Q and the $.75/1 manu Q (from 1/9 SS) to get it for FREE! According to policy, your cashier may reduce the price of the manu q so that you don’t get overage. Still FREE!
Thanks for the heads up on those great clearance finds! Does anyone know which Sally Hansen nail polish is on clearance?
Well Im going to CVS tomorrow on the way to work. Hopefully itll be 90% again. I work for Wags and pretty much that stuff gets packed up and sold next year so it wont go to 90%. We will probably just have a 75% sale left on just the candy items. But yeah Wags and Dollar Tree pack up the non perishables and sell it next year.
I wish we have Rite Aid here, I live in North Texas.
Our Wags went 90% last week. Some of the little makeup and nail kits I was told would not go below 75%. I bought a couple at that price though, cute gifts for later.
wow we dont have that here.
I got my artscows key chains I made and they are so cute!
CVS had their Christmas items 75% off this week. I got butter cookies (the ones that come in the nice tins) for 39 cents and a Discovery kit – a fish tank with octopuses; it lights up in different colors – for $2.50. They had a lot of candies and cookies left, plus several toys. Still, 90% sounds so much better than 75%….
RIte Aid also had a volume type Dove shampoo and conditioner for $1.24 each on clearance…had video value Q and also a manu Q….free +
We have these Rite Aid/Save-a-lot stores I really do not like hem. I am not sure if it is the same store you advertise for but the deals are never the same as you have here. Anyone else have one?
Save-a-lot is a different store in my area. Not at all the same. In fact we only have 1 and it happens to be located a few doors down from the Rite Aid in a strip mall. I am guessing yours is not a real Rite Aid, rather more likely something similar in name.
Where can I find a Rite aid? I live in NW Illinois and I don’t even see any in the Chicago area. Can someone please help me? I went to the site but no matter what zip I put in it said no store near my location! It sounds like a great store and I would love to shop there if I could find one! Thanks for your help
I used to live in Indiana and there weren’t any Rite-Aids there…if none come up under a search I’ll bet your area doesn’t have any either. Wish I could offer better news….
Is clearance per store? I went to 2 (Well, actually 3!) Rite Aids yesterday and 1 was 75% off and the other 90% off. I did get a couple rolls of paper for .19 at the 90% place!!
If you find something you really like, have them scan it. One of my Rite Aids had the 75% off tag still up, but things were ringing up 90% off. You should only need to have one item scanned because if it rings up 90% off, the rest should be too depending on what it is.
Then down the street, the other RA had a 90% off sign up and was pretty well picked over. I did score a $40 rocking horse for my niece for $4. Almost free after I used some UP rewards! 🙂
I just got back from RA and spent a total of $2.43– I got 2 boxes of beautiful Xmas cards, 4 boxes of Xmas lights(all 90 % off) and four “Spic and Span” brand scrubbing tools for free. I used 2 Spic and Span coupons, as it says “any” S and Span product. Woo Hoo!
Went to RA this morning and found a 4.5 ft. Christmas tree for $1.99 down from $19.99, ornaments for .14, tissue paper for .19, 2-pk. gift boxes including ribbon trim and tissue for .39. I must admit 90% off certainly made me smile!
I scored some awesome deals at Dollar General – their Christmas stuff is 75% off. Well MOST of it. I got decorations, towels, cute snack bowl sets – all for .25 cents each! I hear that this upcoming Saturday even more will be on sale. It was also a great place to use the coupons from the P&G rebate coupon book – I got several household things for free.
I was able to get some of the $.19 wrapping paper and some Christmas lights for $.19. It was great!
I hit the Rite aid near me last night for the TP deal and got a few Xmas items too. Got Bubble Gum cotton Candy for $.19, small stuffed bears with a candy cane (which will be recycled as Easter gifts) for $.29 and a HUGE snowman that lights up and plays music for $1.99
I was able to score on the TP, TIGIF snacks, and other goodies plus 90% off on toys!
We were in CVS Saturday night (Murfreesboro, Hwy 99 or 96…can’t remember..lol) and the nicest guy was working. His name was Justin I believe and he was ever so helpful. We also scored some great deals on Christmas stuff! It was marked 90% off and they even had Ocean Spray Cranberry sauce included…it rang up .17 per can! We eat it year around so we were thrilled. I also snatched up some great deals at Ross today. I got a great purse (nine and co.) for 12.99 and I scored a cute pants, vest, shirt and tie set for my 2 1/2 year old for 5.49!
Another Rite Aid deal:
B1G1 Free Renpure Organics Amazing Miracle Deep Penetrating Reconstructor Conditioner, 8 ounces = $6.99 for 2
Mail-in rebate peelie for up to $6.99 ( says “TRY ME FREE!)
= 2 Free conditioners.
I got this deal last week at Walgreens, but it wasn’t B1 G1 free…bummer!
I got a bunch of stuff, the cola chapstick gift sets, .59 cents, a little pen and notebook set with toystory or princess on them .20 cents, there were a bunch of great deals!
Grabbed a few things at RA yesterday, FYI – Kmart also had most of their items at 90% off, decor was at 75%. I grabbed 4 rolls of nice paper ( 2 that can used for anytime) , 4 robe boxes, 2 boxes cards, and 3-3count packages of shirt boxes all for 5.00 🙂 I’m all set for wrapping next year!!
I was able to score the little rocking horses for $3.99 each! They were to cute to pass up at that price. Also a bunch of wrapping paper for next year at .17-.50 each and a wreath for the door at $1.49. Not to shabby of a deal. =)
Yep. I scored the pink one for one goddaughter! I can’t wait to give it to her for her birthday in July. It is super cute! Pretty well picked over, but that was a steal.
I wish I could have found the brown one too! 🙂
We have 2 rite aid around here and i looked around and none of the beauty products/personal care are tagged clearance. But both do have the 90% off christmas clearance section. I wonder if the physician’s formula, burts bee lotion, and other stuff that are 75% off vary from store to store????? or my 2 stores just didn’t put up clearance tags or 75% off tags on those beauty products? thanks in advance
