   Updates from Socal:
   Hormel is also giving a $1 UP for each (monthly deal) so MM.
   The dove included is ONLY the original / fresh dove, not the go fresh or ultimate dove deodorants/aerosols.
   Maalox is 4.99, use $5 coupon from sunday paper (a while ago, forgot which one) and get back a $1 up!! 🙂
   Gas x prevention is also included in the $4.99 get back $1 UP, so use the $4 off coupon from a sunday paper from a while ago, pay .99, get back $1

  Amber February 13, 2011 at 12:46 pm MST

  There was none of the sale dove in any of my stores. I don’t understand why the flyer says ANY dove invisible solid if it doesn’t include a majority of the doves that seem to be solid and invisible. HA! The only one on sale must be truly invisible. 🙂 I got a raincheck. Hopefully, they will get some before my coupons expire.

   I love how you’re doing these matchups really early. Thanks a lot!
   The Nature made fish oil mentioned in the deal are 10.49 at my store. 8.49 if you have gold status (which I have) but unfortunately doesn’t apply to BOGO sales.

  Wanted to say when the Axe was on sale 2/$9 a couple weeks ago at RA it included one scent(at least only 1 was marked) of the twin pack body sprays. It was the scent that said Boom Chicka Wah Wah 😉 lol. It was red and blue. I got 2 twin packs for $9, used a BOGO Q for $4.50 off and got back $3ups. So $1.50 for 4 sprays. It actually smells really good!

    Collin, the Nature Made fish oil that is counted in the heart healthy promo is “NatureMade Fish Oil, Odorless, 150ct”, not Nature Made Fish Oil 1200 mg 100 ct. $8.49. Maybe you got NatureMade and Natural Bounty mixed up? Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks

  Melissa February 12, 2011 at 4:48 pm MST

  no, all of the NM Fish Oils are counting. when the promo first started, I did not buy the 150ct, but 2 smaller bottles (one odorless, one not) and both were credited towards the HH.

  Melissa February 12, 2011 at 4:58 pm MST

  I think 7 All Yous is a bit of a stretch to have for this deal. I get a sub, as do my mom & sister, so the most I would have of any coupons would be 3. I might buy another issue in the store **if** the coupons were really good.
  I think more realistically using a combo All You/Inserts or just inserts since you can order them from a clipping service. I rarely see clipping services offer coupons from magazines. Or even ebay auctions.

    SO excited about the deals this week! I came really close to using my Dove coupons that I ordered from a clipping service last week to get free Dove at Kroger, but I wasn’t able to make it before the sale ended. I was really bummed until I saw this week’s deals!! How amazing is that?? I ordered 10 coupons so I’m going to make $10 on the Dove! Yay!!! Thanks Collin for your awesome match ups! I go to a lot of other blogs, but your weekly pharmacy matchups are the easiest and best by far!

  I just started shopping RiteAid about 5 weeks ago . The most rewarding experiences I have had in a long time. I love RiteAid. Of all the stores I think it’s the easist. Those UPs just keep on rolling off the printer.

  Hey Hilda.. Ya know I couldn’t just keep my mouth shut. Been thinking about your comment all morning. I never said I didn’t understand the site. I said I didn’t understand shopping at RiteAid. FIgured I’d get some advice responses not your RUDE comment. Maybe some people need a little more understanding on some of the places they’d like to shop but afraid to enter, I’m pretty sure that I’m not the only person out there and comments like yours make it impossible for others to ask because of the snark remarks rude people make. But thank you very much anyways.

  Thanks Jen, Marina, Anonymous, , maybe I’ll give it a shot this week!!!

  Ims 1983, I don’t think Hilda’s comment was intended to be rude. I think you may just be sensitive right now because it can be overwhelming at first. It’s sometimes hard to see the tone intended behind written comments, so try not to jump to conclusions, which is something I see a lot of people do on here lately. I felt the same way when I first saw this site because Rite Aid offers SO MUCH that you just don’t know where to start, as opposed to CVS or WAGS which only seem to offer 5-10 deals each week. Hang in there. It takes about a month or two to get in the swing of things, but you’ll get there.
  … and of course, thanks so much, Collin for all that you do! I anxiously wait on Saturdays to see your posts, but somehow don’t get them until 4 or 5 hours after you post for some strange reason. 🙂

  lms1983 – I totally understand how intimidating it can be to start shopping somewhere you haven’t tried before. What I did at first was pick 2-3 deals that I wanted to try. That gave me the confidence and understanding of how they worked. After making several trips to Rite Aid I now go in with a huge list of things to buy. Is there anything specific you are confused about. Also you can check out the Rite Aid website. That may answer a few of your questions. I do agree with posts that others made on here that Rite Aid is actually one of the easier places to shop. In my area I have also found them to be the friendliest when it comes to using coupons. I hope this helps.

  Thanks ladies! I’m going to give it a shot. I just don’t understand the UP rewards… Do they go towards that purchase or your next purchase? I’ve shopped in Rite Aid but never with a their card. I always see all these great deals but since I don’t understand how to shop there so I am intimidated by it..this is why I normally only use coupons at Target..which I hate shopping at anymore because of the looks and the arguments with the cashiers! I guess the bad experiences I’ve had at Target makes me freak out that I’ll get the same experience there….

  Here’s an example of what I don’t get…

  Mucinex 14-20 ct. $9.99
  Use the $1/1 coupon from the 12/12 SS or 1/16 SS
  Use the $1.50/1 coupon from the February Video Values (i know what these are)
  Pay $7.49
  Get a $1.50 +Up Reward
  Final Cost $5.99!* (ok, is this out of pocket or does the 1.50 UP reward go towards my next purchase???)
  *Get a $20 +Up Reward when you buy $100 of select item

  I think I will take your advice Joan and just go there today and make a small purchase and then maybe I’ll get a better understanding of how they work. I write down everything that I would want weekly from other stores, but the coupons in an envelope then just go there and down my list of what I want, I’ve had the Rite Aid coupons together before but think since I don’t have any rewards yet how am I going to save… idk.. I’m sorry if Im confusing anyone. 🙁

  lms 1983- Using your example with the Mucinex, after using the suggested coupons you would actually pay $7.49. At the bottom of your receipt there will be a +UP reward for $1.50.that you can use as a coupon for anything that is non-prescription on your next trip to Rite Aid. (it is like cash to pay for your items) I went today and bought stuff that came to around $55. I had coupons, video values and +UP rewards from purchases I made a couple weeks ago. I ended up paying $13 out of pocket but I now have over $20 in +UP rewards that printed at the bottom of my receipt. I plan to make another trip tomorrow for a couple items I missed today and will use some of those +UP rewards. Several things to keep in mind with +UP Rewards, You cannot use them to pay for tax, so keep an eye on that. Also pay attention to the expiration dates. They don’t always have the same expiration dates. So look at all of them, I have made this mistake in the past and ended up not using them because I thought they all expired on the same date. The +UP rewards I got today had expiration dates of 3/5/11 and 3/15/11. So I will try to use the ones that expire 3/5/11 first when I go tomorrow. I hope that helps and that you trip to Rite Aid today was successful.
  Joan

  Awesome deal Joan! I haven’t went yet today. Husband just got home and has some running around to do…don’t want to haul kids in there with me..lol Anyways I guess I understand it better now. I wasn’t sure how it exactly works but makes sense now. I’ve been doing the video values, yet to print them but will before I go. Thank you so much for your help! And the advice on the expiration dates. 🙂 And..do you have to keep your receipts to prove you have the UP rewards or are they automatically taken off when you scan your card? BC I’m AWFUL at saving receipts!! lol

  You need to cut them off the bottom of your receipt. You will receive a separate +UP reward for every item that you purchase that spits one out. My receipt was about 6 feet long today with 12 +UP Rewards of different amounts. I just cut off each reward separately to give to the cashier the next time I go in. They do need to scan your card and it is my understanding (and I could be wrong) that the +UP Rewards you receive can only be used with the store card. So in other words I don’t think you can use someone else’s +UP rewards with your card. I would also recommend that you have several deals prepared in case they are out of something, so you can still give it a try. Rite Aid is often out of sale items that have good coupons available for them.

  It depends what you’re looking for when ordering coupons. I use mycouponhunter.com when I just have a couple I want because she doesn’t require you to purchase a certain dollar amount. I’ve also ordered from couponsthingsbydede.com and couponsandforms.com when I had a lot that I wanted to order. All of them ship pretty quickly, too. FYI- if you’re looking for the dove deo. coupons, none of these sites had any left last time I looked!

  I tried taylortownpreview for my first time buying coupons, and I was very impressed. She had every coupon I needed for good prices, even the high value ones, and she shipped them promptly, with bonus coupons included!

  I too like mycouponhunter.com I like it because you don’t have to have a minimum dollar amount and she shops super fast. I only buy maybe once a month and usually only 5 of them I really want.

    I’m not understanding how you are getting 4 q’s from the all you mag. Is it worth it to pay for that many subscriptions? I may need to do that.

  I just bought 4 copies at Walmart. It was actually on sale for some reason, so only 2.24 a copy? I used the $6 Naturemade and the $4 NM already out of mine, plus the Oatmeal coupon. Couple other good coupons in that issue as well! It did totally pay for itself this month!

  I didn’t see anything I would use for the next month though when I saw the list of coupons. I may just grab one copy next week in case there is a deal later in the month.

    I have a question…. I went into my local Rite Aid today and got the Pepto Bismol. I gave the cashier my rite aid manu coupon (that was in the sales paper) and it would not scan! so she laid it to the side and scanned all the rest of my q’s, one of which was .50 off pepto. She called the manager to the front about the store q and the manager proceeded to tell me that the one from the rite aid paper was a manu q and so was the other and they couldn’t combine them. Am I the only one that has heard this? Or was she getting one over on me?

  Yeah? I was wondering about that! None of my VV q’s or in ad qs would scan!!!! They gave it to me on a gfit card AFTER I paid though. The other store entered them manually, and they were also confused as to why they wouldn’t scan. It was something with the scanner though!

    this is off topic but I have a question about the All You Magazine. I order 4 Subscriptions and just now received my first Issue, just one though. So I contacted Blue Dolphin Magazine and asked them where the other 3 Issues are and they said that the publisher can’t send 4 Issues at the same time. so what they did is, they did the subscription for 4 years! I’d rather wanted 4 Issues every month, so I have multiple coupons…. did’ anybody have the same problem? how do people get more then one Issue at the same time?

  Send subscriptions to other people in your family. My husband & daughter have subscriptions in their names also so I can get the extra coupons.

  I also did the Eversave deal to get the magazines from Blue Dolphin and ordered 4 subscriptions of All You. That was in October…I haven’t gotten any of them yet. I already have a subscription for All You from Amazon, is that why I haven’t gotten anymore? I’ll have to call…now I’m irritated…my intent when purchasing multiple subs was not to prepay 1 sub for the next 10 years!!

    Commence annoyed vent—…I went to a different Rite Aid today to see if there were any of the cold remedy SCR items left because I couldn’t get out this week – found one adult oscilli-wtvr and got some Halls and Old Spice/Gilette. Get up to the register and see a carboard tray of the Coldcalm sitting at an unused register. I made the mistake of asking the cashier if it was the sale item, I mean, why should he know if it’s one of the 4 hot free SCR items of the week? He mumbles something I can’t understand, so I hopped around the magazine rack to grab a box as he was scanning my other stuff. I ask if there is any of the Chestal cough syrup hiding behind the counter “ahno. eet is all gone. You come too late.” I say, “Well, Sunday morning also seems to be too late for these sale items.” He says, “We get truck on Monday.” mmm okay. Still doesn’t help me. but OK.

    I went in not knowing how much I was going to end up spending but knew I wanted to at least use my $20 resolution reward that I had clipped off my receipt. Of course I’m looking for it…cashier finishes scanning, I hand him the $1 Old Spice and the bogo Gillette and continue to look for my $20 up (that I have been bypassing all week everytime I’ve opened my wallet at other stores). He asks me how much the Gillete was, I tell him. BINGO! I find the $20 and hand it over just as he gives me my new total. He scans, and I grab my receipt from last time that has about 5 random ups on it. I kindof mumble oops got a long one here and he says something. I’m sorry, what? “You need…I have long line” (motions to the 2 people behind me). I say umm alright and just toss him the whole receipt. In the past if I unexpectedly need to use ups that are still attached to the receipt I will snip them off as the cashier scans them, because for whatever reason they take 3-5 seconds to “take” before they can scan the next one. But if I DO clip one, it sticks to the back of something else then I can’t find it! So he proceeds to scan each one then tear it off by hand. Just tryin to speed things up dude. Maybe when I pulled my scissors out he was thinking I was gonna start finding some other random coupons to clip? Well I paid my .98 bill and trotted right out. I guess if you’re not buying two things with no coupons you’re really bogging up the fine-tuned machine that is the Rite-Aid checkout.

    Sorry for wasting your time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  How funny! I couldn’t get out all week due to a dead car battery, Our RA was cleaned out of the Betty Crocker and the Excedrin, but they had all of the SCR items still. (I got rainchecks for the stuff they were out of) The manager rang me out since the printer from the other RA up the street apparently needs ink, so none of the Ups will scan that are generated there! I always feel bad when I had her 25 $1 ones that don’t scan!

  She said if we gave her a heads up on what was going to be a hot deal, she’d order extra when she placed her orders. They’re such nice folks there (at all the drug stores I go to they are super nice!) Those Bioron coupons sure did cause a lot of beepage this week tho!

  That’s what it is like every time I go to RA… I only have 2 of them in my area, and the second (nicer) one is too far away to go to for my normal shopping, so I’m stuck dealing with the crappy one. They always just seem like they have no time in the world for people with coupons, even when it’s an easy-peasy lemon squeezy transaction 😉 Oh well…I’ve come to expect it I guess!
