   Yes, it is totally worth All You multiple subscriptions. I got all 4 of mine for about 83 cents/issue (did have to deal direct with All You for a few months to get all 4), so one $1 coupon from each mag and I break even. Any more, and it’s totally worth it. Just depends on your taste I guess!

  Speed Stick, Dove Invisible Solid or Degree Invisible Deodorant 2/$4
  Use 2 $2/1 Dove coupons from the 1/30 RP
  PAY = $0
  Get a $2 +Up Reward (when you buy 2)
  FINAL COST = 2 for FREE + a $2 moneymaker!

  Most of us save our inserts so that we can go back to them for the coupons. If you did not get the Newspaper on 1/30 then now you would have to purchase them from a coupon clipper. Or you could ask around your friends and family to see if they have them.

  you may also be able to get them from the local newspaper if you can get to the office, they keep them for a while…. i think how long depends on the paper.. i’ve gotten them a couple weeks after this way.. HTH

   collin, are you sure the nature made 100 ct fish oil is part of heart healthy promo? i checked multiple times and only saw odorless 150ct is part of the promo. not any other fish oils. can you or any other readers know anything about that?

  I’ve read on multiple sites from multiple people for a few weeks now that all the fish oils are counting towards it

  I purchased the fish oil a few weeks ago and I bought the 100 ct bottles and the odorless 60ct and they both worked toward the healthy heart Promo so it does seem like all sizes are counting.

  yes, i posted on the previous page of comments that I bought 2 fish oils not listed and received my HH reward.
  Went to double ck and mine are the 60ct odorless.

  Margaret, It worked for me when they had the buy 30 get 16 + ups a couple of weeks ago. I bought 4 of the Nature Made fish oil 100ct mentioned here and got the weekly up reward plus the HH promo ups! 🙂 They were 10.49 not 8.49. I did get them for 8.49 after 20% for my gold status. If you have any card discount it doesn’t apply this week because they’re BOGO.

  Hey there,

  I bought a variety of fish oils when they were on sale a few weeks ago, none of them were part of the heart healthy promo, but I got it, so don’t worry. You’ll get it. And worst comes to worst, you can return it if you don’t get the +UPs. 🙂

   I still have my resolution reward to spend and this looks like the third week in a row that I may not be able to get my total above $20 to use it. After all my coupons my total hasn’t even been close because our store has been out of things I want or need. May end up getting a few non sale or things I want next week to use it up!

  Try using your $20 on rebate items. This way, you convert it to cash.

  Give the cashier the $20 resolution reward BEFORE you give them your other coupons….this always works for me. Hope that helps!

  To me that is a waste of your reward money if you give them that before your coupons. Buy something you want but wouldn’t normally buy yourself

  How so? If I have $20 worth of items and $6 in manf coupons, I figure I can use the $6 in ‘overage’ towards something I need but don’t have coupons for, like milk or ice cream, that way my OOP is still low. Like this week, I plan on getting

  8.88 – 4 Hungry Jack items
  6.00 – 4 Chex Mix (have 4 $1/1 cpns)
  3.50 – Colgate (have .75/1 cpn)
  4.00 – 2 Dove (have 2 $2/1 cpns)
  = 22.38
  I hand over my $20 reward
  = $2.38
  I have $8.75 in coupons
  Which leaves me 6.37 I can use to buy other stuff w/out coupons!!

  In the process of swapping out my $20 reward, I’m getting 8 $1 Snack UPs, $3.50 UP and $2 UPs for a total of $13.50 back.

  If your total is $2.38 after your reward, how can you use $8.75 in coupons?

  you buy other stuff that costs around $9 so you CAN use your manuf. coupons. Or don’t bother with using manuf. coupons at all.

  I used mine almost like Emily said – I bought degree, speed stick, ragu, chili, toothpaste my total was over the $20 mark and my total was $26.00 I used the $20 GOS certificate and 2 $3 + up rewards and only paid .50 + tax OOP. THen I got back $23.00 in +up rewards.

  So, all you need to do is bring your total above $20 and make sure you get back +up rewards to equal. Now, you have made that $20 rewards into smaller increments you can use to pay when your total is just a few to several dollars OOP in your next transactions.

  hello i am new to this website and so far i have found it very helpful! thanks to everyone. i was just thinking. how do i go about getting old PG or SS coupons i see a lot of blogs about if you use the PG coupon from 1/3 its free or something similar but how do i go about getting old coupon clippings if i dont have them, sometimes there is a link to the coupons but not the ones i saw. please help

  Lolo February 14, 2011 at 12:32 am MST

  you have to buy them from ebay or a coupon clipping site. But beware that if it is a good deal, they will be sold out fast or the demand for them will cause the prices to skyrocket. (people find out early what the sales will be and plan ahead). Most of the time it’s just not worth buying them unless you know way ahead of time. Best bet is to make sure to get several copies of the newspaper each week and keep all coupons. The date is on the side of the insert or you can write it on the front for easier viewing. HTH

  you had to mail away for it. You had to spend $50 (before coupons) on P&G products and then mail in for the coupon book by a certain date (expired now). Too late for this time around. But they will probably do it again in 6 months or so so check the P&G website now and again.

    Is anyone else having trouble finding the coupons mentioned? I do not have the light bulb coupon, the axe coupon, or the Olay coupon? I looked in my books with those dates and i do not have them. I have multiple copies too. Seems strange that i don’t have the same coupons as everyone else. There does not appear to be a 1/16 PG either. Anyone else?

  The 1/16 p&g it is purple with a woman and a child doing yoga on it. and just in case you might have miss dated the booklets go to coupon dede and click on whole inserts and put the date in just to be sure your dates are right (or just look on the spine of the booklet for me the letters are too small lol) I’m in ny and have all the coupons and we usually get ripped on all the good coupons.

  I’ve run into this fairly often, it amazes me sometimes how much difference there can be between coupons in different areas. I live in Ohio and every week there are coupons I never received mentioned, or for different amounts. I finally just started creating my own coupon database. Even across Ohio there are different inserts for different areas, a co-worker brought me coupons from city papers only 45 min away and there were still some fairly large saving differences.

  where at in ohio? I don’t have a site or anything, I’m just keeping an excel database on my laptop. I was following savingmoneyintoledo.com, but even the deals posted there use coupons that aren’t in our inserts (I live in toledo). I’m not sure if she uses another databases or blog to get some of the deals, but it’s been frustrating…I figure since she’s in my city she must be listing our q’s, then I waste a bunch of time trying to find them. I’ve also started following spectacular savings…she’s in MI but she shops Meijer, and I’ve found all the deals & q’s I’m interested in so I rely on hers more. I mostly use saving money for Kroger.

  Collin (Mrs. Hip) February 13, 2011 at 11:11 pm MST

  Rainchecks, I would assume, and you only had to buy 6 to get them free, they were still on sale individually for $2.99 with a $2 Up. I think a lot of people underestimate the power of rainchecks. You have a month (or more, my stores will take them longer) to use them and you never know, you may end up with a better coupon or another deal to combine them with. I have had great luck with this.

  How do you know she cleared the shelves?? My store had an ENTIRE endcap full of Dove plus what was on the deo aisle! I didn’t bother with them since I have oodles of deo for myself, I bought hubby his preferred Degree.
  I know I miss out on deals myself b/c I can’t get to the store on Sun or even Mon and find empty shelves, but ya know, deals ALWAYS cycle back around!

  HeidiP February 13, 2011 at 5:27 pm MST

  I wouldnt call buying 10 Doves shelf clearing and a reason for Rite Aid to put limits up. What seems more clear to me is that rite Aid needs to have stock on hand!!!!!! 10 Doves is ridiculous at the start of a sale. Heck, before I started couponing, I would have gone into Target and bought 10 deodorants wihtout even batting an eye. I have five daughters that all play sports, we use a lot of deodorant. I get sick and tired of listening to all the “shelf clearing” comments. What is alot for one person isnt for another, simple as that. If somone REALLY needs some Dove, take your $2.00 coupons and go to another store and buy it. If you want the Dove so you can have a MM, then go to Rite Aid at opening and make your money,

  when you get those surveys at the end of your receipts with a chance to win the sweepstakes, be sure to do them. They give you a chance to voice what could have made your trip better etc…. and I always say more stock on hand. If they keep hearing this it is bound to change!

  In Rite Aids’ defense…. It is really hard to try to figure out what to order massive qtys of. They cannot see the coupons in advance as you can see the Rite Aid ads in advance. If you know of something that will be a great deal, try to let someone know at Rite Aid so they can have a heads up and order accordingly. Also, most Rite Aids only get a shipment only once every two weeks, which makes it even harder to get the right amount of stuff on that off week. Does anyone know how to see the coupons that are coming up? Also does anyone have a store that they know of that does a great job keeping the coupon merchandise in stock? I’m sure the other Rite Aids would like to know their secret…

  Stefany February 14, 2011 at 10:31 am MST

  Haha, yeah given half the chance, anyone one of us would take advantage of a good deal. Buying 10 deodorants may seem like a lot, BUT for me, it would mean not having to buy it for the rest of the year. This would mean all the other deodorant deals the rest of the year would be left for others to take advantage of. While I don’t agree with clearing the shelf if you have no need for the items, I DO think it’s ok to do so if you’ll be in need of the items. Why not?

  No, I did not clear shelves as I hate it when people do that to me. I did go to 4 Rite Aids today. I plan to donate all to a family who has moved to this country from Albania. Wanted to add, this area has alot of couponers and slow restock here in good ole NC so if you don’t stock up on Sun, you are gonna lose out on getting anything! I probably will not be back at RA until next Sun for next weeks deals.

  Rainchecks are AWESOME! I got a raincheck for 4 Stayfree from last week’s BOGO sale which I used this week paired with the BOGO coupon. Well, to my surprise, I received two $2 +UP which coincides with this week’s stayfree sale. Not only was it a $4 moneymaker for me but it put me over the $100 threshold for my $20 reward. So don’t be mad/sad when they’re out, just get those rainchecks!!

  Great advice. I always forget those! I need to put a sticky on my q’s that says to ask for rainchecks if places are out! I also figure some other store will have a deal in a few weeks and I’ll get to take advantage of that one! I was excited to get these b/c this family literally has nothing so I am going through my stockpile to give them what I can and was excited to bless them with the deoderent at such a great price and also get to roll some UPs!

  I actually do give the managers a heads up about two weeks in advance. They still are not ordering. I special ordered 12 Dove deodorants 2 weeks ago for this sale for my family and my friends family-special order did not come in. I am not sure how much more I can try and help them stock their stores. It is their job to make their stores run. They can go on the internet and figure this stuff out just as much as we do. I am just frustrated with it. I have tried several different tactics and I still end up driving around to numerous stores in the area. I order coupons in 10’s and 20’s off ebay so I pay money for them and want to be able to use them. Now I have 10 Dove coupons that I paid $4 for and no one had them in stock. Rainchecks are great, but the UP rewards are only for the week of the sale and not all managers will print them out for you after the sale is over. I ordered 20 Johnson and Johnson coupons as I like to stock up for family, friends and baby showers. I special ordered 20 bottles at my store bc I don’t want to clear shelves, my special order did not come in, my sale starts this Friday and the next truck doesn’t come in until Saturday. I don’t want to take my chances that my order won’t come in on Saturday and be stuck with 20 coupons that I paid for. I have tried everything possible not to be clearing shelves and be respectful, but it might happen this Friday.

    Just a question..was at rite aid today buying the Finish dish washing tabs. All of the Finish products had yellow stickers over the prices, and the sale sticker stated “valid 1/26-13/1 sale price $3.99 w/wellness card”. When I went to cash out none of them rang up at that price, long story short..the manager got involved, I showed her the signs and she noticed they were ALL incorrect. She then began to swear up and down and rip the stickers off…needless to say she refused to give me the =$3.99 price, as well as embarassing me in front of at least 12 other customers as she heatedly refused the price for me. I just would like to know,,,,is it unreasonable to ask for the advertised sale price?? PS..she was also the manager!!

  I hate when employees, even worse managers act like the discount is coming out of their pockets. I think corporate would be happier to know that a customer was satisfied, and money was spent at their store as opposed to a customer dissatisfied and no money was spent at the store.

  That was a VERY unprofessional way for her to react! Even if she wasn’t going to honor the sticker price, she should have appologized to you for the confusion and been polite! I’d complain to corporate about the way she acted!

  Theres a large sign in front of all the cash registers at my RA that says that if the price rings up incorrectly, you get the item for free. Its some sort of “guarantee” from rite aid. you might want to check up on that.

  Too bad I didn’t see that at my RA this morning – there’s a Coke deal in our flyer (buy 2 6-packs for $7, get $1Up back) that rang up incorrectly, at full shelf price. The manager was my cashier and forced it all through at the sale price then gave me a dollar back on my gift card, so all was well, but free would’ve been nice 😉

  Jennifer February 13, 2011 at 9:53 pm MST

  While it was completey inappropriate the way the manager handled it, it seems like a matter of two sales happening at the same time. I was told that what happens in this case is that you get either deal, whichever is cheaper. Since it’s bogo free this week, getting 2 for $6.29 is a better deal, but if you are only buying one, then the $3.99 price should kick in. HTH

  Reply
• 

  Lolo February 14, 2011 at 12:47 am MST

  Carissa,
  this is what the deal is. The sale price is a month long promotion and that is why the stickers. HOWEVER, that being said, when they run a bogo sale, the sale price disappears and it goes back to the original price and then the other is free. BUT being that they screwed up and left the price tags in place, the manager should have at least honored it for 2 of the products (bogo at $3.99) and explained to you the problem. (not sure how many you bought but at least one deal should have been made available to you) I just wanted to give you a heads up for future promos. HTH

    I special ordered 12 of the Dove deodorant so that I would not be clearing the shelves. I did not go early on Friday (CA sales run different days) to do my shopping and did not get the four Doves on the shelf because I was counting on my special order. I went today after the truck delivered and my Dove did not come and now the shelves are empty. I am not sure how to win sometimes with Rite-Aid. Either you have to clear the shelves to get what you want because they are so low in stock or you try and do it right and you don’t get any 🙁

  I completely agree with you. Last week I went to get a bunch of things, but thought I would check and see if the tear pads were by the $1.99 Excedrin PM. They were, so I bought 3 using 3 coupons, which ended up being a $1.53 money-maker for me. There were like one hundred coupons left on two separate tear pads and I left one box on the shelf, since I didn’t really need 4 (that was all there was and I rarely, if ever, take the last of something I am simply buying to be a MM, just in case someone truly needs it…Karma can be a b!tch…). The manager grumbled something as he rang me out, then over the store intercom called to a stocker and said, “Remove the remaining $1.99 Excedrin PM and take down the tear-pads too, while you’re at it”. Why on Earth would they do that? It made me not want to shop there, even though they honored my coupons. I went back in closer to the end of the week and noticed that the $1.99 Excedrin PM hadn’t been restocked, just the larger not on sale size was available, and today – full stock. Icky, icky customer service, if you ask me 🙁

  Once again, I just don’t understand why store managers/employees seem hate coupons so much – the store gets the money back… And in the case of rounding down, the store makes extra money. The store folks should love coupons!

  Why in the world would the manager NOT want to sell an item?! It’s a retail store that sells “stuff.” So they should sell it, not pull it off the shelf. Some retail managers don’t really get what their position and their business is all about.

    On the Band-Aid and Neosporin deal, I believe there is another $.50 off VV coupon when you purchase EITHER Band Aid or Neosporin.

    Here is another deal scenerio:

    Buy 1 Neosporin ($6.99) and 3 Band-Aid Products ($2.99 each)
    Total:$15.96
    -$1.50 When you purchase both-newspaper insert
    -$1.50 When you purchase both – VV
    -$.50 (x2) When you purchase either product – newspaper insert
    -$.50 When you purchase either product – VV
    Pay:$11.46 and get $5 UP rewards

  Melissa February 13, 2011 at 5:02 pm MST

  Thanks, I completely forgot about the VV q’s and was trying to figure how to do this deal with low OOP. I need the neosporin more than the bandaids. I was thinking
  2 Neosporins = 13.98
  + 1 BandAids @ 2.99
  = 16.97
  – $1.50/2 insert q
  – .50/1 insert q
  – $1.50/2 VV
  – .50/1 VV
  – $5 in Ups
  = 7.97

  Not bad!! May add a few more things to use my $4/20.

    Not a good day at Rite Aid today. The cashier took our +up rewards and i thought she scanned them all. But, it turns out she didn’t. She apparently didn’t scan about 8$ of them. Well, apparently we were her last customer and she left right after that. So, i don’t think we can get them back. Bummed. I had rolled them so well too.

  they have to scan them slowly otherwise they get missed. I watch carefully and most of my cashiers
  know to make sure too. But the other day i had a new (and not too bright) guy and he kept whipping through them and of course some did not clear, so I made him go back and rescan them. If they went through they will beep, if they did not it will deduct. Just be sure to have a ball park figure in your mind about what you cost should be and if it does not seem right, stop them and fix it! HTH

  yes, exactly – my store’s manager was ringing me out this morning and he got confused at one point about the Ups I’d handed him, so just to make sure, he scanned them again. It doesn’t hurt anything, and if one got missed, it’ll go through.

  You definitely need to watch the cashier and their register screen correctly take off the up rewards. My cashier is really good about that…she would scan and then wait for the register monitor to accept it before scanning the next one. Sometimes you get the cashier that would just scan everything and it takes a while for the register to deduct…so calculate/estimate how much your purchase so you don’t loose out on those up rewards.

    Rainchecks are AWESOME! I got a raincheck for 4 Stayfree from last week’s BOGO sale which I used this week paired with the BOGO coupon. Well, to my surprise, I received two $2 +UP which coincides with this week’s stayfree sale. Not only was it a $4 moneymaker for me but it put me over the $100 threshold for my $20 reward. So don’t be mad/sad when they’re out, just get those rainchecks!!

  Rie February 14, 2011 at 11:17 am MST

  TIP: there’s a 6 digit number in the shelf price tag that my cashiers love to get so they don’t have to hand write the rainchecks. They punch it in the register and it generates a receipt raincheck. I think this also triggers reorder automatically in their computer system. I’ve never had an issue with quantity restrictions, but then again I’ve never asked for more than 4.

    I count my up rewards and put them in groups of $10.00 if my total is $16.00 I give them $10.00 and make sure that they all ring up before I give them any more. I sure have noticed that most of the time they need to do it again until I get my $10.00 off. Once the correct total rings up I will give them more…but I count them and make sure they know how much I have given them. Always tell them “here are $20.00” or whatever you give them. You will be surprise how many rewards you will lose if you just keep giving them to the cashier without counting them first.

I went today and bought $78+ worth of merchandise that Rite Aid PAID me $7.58 to take out of their store. How cool is that? Best of all it was all stuff we needed/use except for the Colgate toothpaste as we are Crest users here. I’ve decided that my kids have to donate a portion of their allowance to charity so they are going to “buy” all my freebies/cheapies to donate to either the Friendship Shelter or the local animal shelter. We all win 🙂

  RP and SS are abriviations for your weekly coupon inserts found in your newspaper. RP is Red Plum and SS is Smart Source. The numbers, like 1/19, are the date the insert was in the paper. The dates are printed on the spine of the insert so you can save them all (when you get your paper) and the go to them when you need a coupon. 🙂
