  albacore will be on sale next week and will offer a $5 up wyb $15, plus it will still give you the $1 up each can as this is a monthly up. The albacore will give you a $1 UP this week too, but it is NOT part of the bogo50%. HTH

  Do you happen to know if the albacore will be on sale in addition to the $5 off $15 plus up rewards? Regular price around my area is $1.99

  New policy after reading on blogs that the Monthly reward will now only be given once per household. So the tuna may not be giving extra $1 next week.

   The Doritos deal can be even sweeter! There was a Smartsource printable coupon that I printed that gives you a free 2 liter of Pepsi Max when you purchase Doritos chips 11.5 oz bag or larger. The coupon expires 12/31/2011.

   What is triggering the $3 off $15 survey codes. I have only been able to get one on my receipt and I have many receipts. Is this the same as the code with the take a survey to enter into a sweepstakes? It doesnt say anything about a $3 coupon for doing it? It is ironic the only one I got was with a refund for a free coupon item in which the cashier didnt take off the right amount. Nothing on any of my other receipts from purchases.

  Yes, the Snickers is LIMIT 1, at least according to my ad. I grabbed another bar b/c my subtotal wasn’t enough to use my last $2 UP and I only got 1 .88 UP.

  Nothing seems to trigger them for me. I bought 2 items this past week that were not on sale. Safety pins and a bottle of wine. And I got one today when I bought several things that were part of the scr sale at a store I don’t generally go to.

  I work there and I believe they randomly print. SEEMS to be every other receipt that prints out on my register though I have not paid extreme close attention. I can tell you it has nothing to do with wellness cards. Non wellness customers get the survey as well. Also, when we had the call in surveys, they would print out nearly every receipt until we got enough callers for that week. Then they would slow down. So if the new system is like the old then your best bet MIGHT be to get in as early in the week as possible before the surveys fill up and they stop printing. I dont think there is a limit per customer that prints out at the register but Im told you can only get three coupons per month.

  LaToya,

  I did this once (first time too!) with nature bounty vitamins a couple weeks ago. the cashier called the manager and he wasnt sure but took my coupons. then i emailed corporate and yes, i was right. took my email on my next trip to show the manager.

  if you talk to the manager and you get no result, once you talk to corporate, talk to the district manager. I’ve contacted mine for another issue with coupons too. I need to follow up to see what happened there 🙂

  good luck!

  So sorry that you had such a rotten experience. That was so wrong of the manager/store employee to yell at you. I hope that corporate is good to you, I’m sure they will be. I would hope you will receive a call from the person who yelled at you to apologize! Don’t be discouraged!
  Have a better day!

  My guess would be, that they have two seperate addresses that they are using to be able to submit for the rebate?! Like maybe a Grandma or someone who doesn’t use the rebates doesn’t mind if they use her address? IDK

  you have to send it to a different address. I have 3 that I use all the time. you do not need to use separate cards unless there is a limit, but you do need to have another mailing addy.

   hi all, i was wondering if you can stack an in-ad q with a vv q? because there is also a 5$ off 3 vv for Dixie, or are those 2 the same coupons?

   Reply3

  anon March 6, 2011 at 7:09 pm MST

  If the coupons both start with a 48 or they both start with a 49 you cannot combine them. Per the RA policy “No more than one “48” Rite Aid Valuable coupon, one “49” Rite Aid Manufacturer coupon and one “5” Manufacturer Coupon can be used on a single item”. I believe that both of those start with a “49”.

   I just wanted to let you know that I bought the orville popcorn today for $1.99 and it has 2 codes in side for 2 free redbox rentals. There is also something on the back about 2 boxes and get a free soda. I will have to look inside, but none the less… 2 free redbox rentals is a great deal. Popcorn turns out free after movie rentals!!!! Happy shopping my RA friends

  ok, i checked and used. When you buy one box popcorn, you get two free movie rentals inside, also a $1.00 off poppycock which is $4.29 on sale for $1.99 this week plus the dollar off coupon makes it $.99. then you get another coupon inside, buy two boxes of popcorn, get a free 2 liter of pop any kind value up to 1.59. love it The box is marked on the outside for the redbox movies, you have to get that one

  Lite tuna might not be as good, but it does have lower mercury, which is better for pregnant or nursing women, and young children.

    Hello everyone,
    I just wanted to say thanks to Collin for the match-ups I had a great trip at Rite Aid today…I just had one side note; I did the king size candy deal this morning and ended paying $.30 for both of the candy the coupon for the free said up to $1.29 and in Michigan the candy rang up at $1.59 but I thought that was still good. And the same for the airwick aerosol I paid $.10 for both again coupon said up to $1.39. But I am not complaining one bit!!!!!

    I did 3 surveys in February and got 3 coupons. This month I did one and when I tried to do a second I got a message that said I had reached my max for this month and to come back next month. Did they change the policy from 3 to 1?

  I’m curious to see if they track by how many you use per month instead of tracking how many surveys you’ve done.

    Well, the tuna was already gone by time I got there. It was after 1pm when I finally got to the store and I had a feeling they would be sold out. I had the cashier write me a RC, but she said to ck back on Wednesday. Keeping my fingers crossed. Also, the Keri Lotion was not in my ad and did not ring up the sale price. That stuff is $8.49!!! Luckily I had my 10% shopping pass, made it more reasonable. All in all, I paid $1.86 (w/tax), saving $43 w/coupons/UPs and $17.45 w/Wellness Card.

    I bought –
    3 Mentos, 2 Snickers, 1 Keri, 1 Curel, 1 Biore Strips, 1 Biore Wipes, 1 Tostitios, 2 Disney Gummy vitamins, 1 Colgate toothpaste.

    I just did the Biore deal… There isn’t a limit on +Ups you can receive so I did this:

    Buy
    (5) Biore strips
    (5) Biore cleansers
    $60.00
    Use
    (5) BOGO coupons 3/6 SS
    =$30 OOP
    get
    $20 +ups
    = $1 each
    I rolled +ups from last week to make it cheaper OOP.

  thats a good deal! My store was very picked over this morning, I lucked out getting 1 of 2 left on the shelf of the Biore strips and the last of the makeup remover wipes. I really don’t care for their cleansers (drys my face out) so I was happy they had the wipes, otherwise I would have passed on the deal. I also used a $1/1 coupon that was in a box I bought a while back.

  So make sure to ck your boxes, the one I bought today had $2 off Biore Strips AND Any other Biore Produce and $1 off any Biore product. Both exp Dec 2011.

    Had somewhat of a hellish exp. at RA today. Several items posted were not the same price…
    Comtrex was $5.99 not 4.99
    Mineral Ice was like $10.99 not $6.99
    Doans ES was $8.99 not $6.99
    Tavist Allergy was around $10.99 not $6.99
    Keri Lotion was $8.49 not $6.99
    Cruex was like $9.99 not $6.99
    Desenx was around $9.99 not $6.99

    Cant recall exactly every items price since almost every item I checked was FULL price and off.
    Not sure where this info came this last time, but man was it way off. Thought for sure it was just because the signs were not up yet. NOT. Had cashier scan everything listed. Had exact sizes and everything. And items like the Comtrex that were all $5.99, had them check the 3 dif. types they had.
    Only things I did get that were on spot, were the Reese’s, Veet, Bumble, adn Keri.
    Oh well, good thing these UP’s have a week more to go I guess.

  zinkemomx2 March 7, 2011 at 2:00 pm MST

  Yeah I didn’t notice until I got home that my comtrex was 5.99 not 4.99. The only thing that saved that transaction was some colgate proclinical toothpaste that was supposed to be on sale for 2.99 with a $2 up+. At our store it was on clearance for $2.24 and it must have went towards the healthy heart promo because it printed my last $10 up+ from that promo.

  I was finally eligible for my first 10% off for reaching 125 points and it printed 2 of them. The manager says that started last week. I wish I would have gotten those BEFORE I bought all the mach 3 razor blades for my husband. I also swear that I must be a saint. All the free or nearly free razors I can get and my husband refuses to use anything other than those refillable Mach 3’s. Darn things are so old you hardly ever find coupons for them and they never seem to go on sale. So thank you to RA he now has 24 of them. Normally those would have lasted him 48 weeks but on Sunday he decided to start shaving his head bald instead of just using the clippers so I am guessing they will only last 24 weeks. Sigh

  seems there was a different ad in different markets. My area did not get the SCR items either and every thing was reg price too. Luckily I had my 10% shopping pass, so it made the Keri $7.49 less my $2 coupon, then submit for the SCR. Small MM.

  Craig, different areas got different ads. S. CA always seems to get screwed on the deals, however with my 20% off on my card I was able to still score some of the deals like the Keri lotion (made it $6.79. If you can find someone with a 20% card you can score it still.

  you CAN stack but it is reported to wait until the week of 3/20 if you can as there will be another $3 in ad Q AND it will also produce a $1 UP. Better deal 😉 (BTW the coupons in ad are always MQ but they have a unique code only usuable at Riteaid so they are considered RA q’s, but the manuf. actually reimburses)

  thanks lolo and latoya! The thing is i was traumatized at walgreens i think a week ago on that visine deal. I tried to use an in ad Q, IVC, and manu Q and everywhere i went they kept telling me i couldnt use the IVC with the manu Q because the IVC is a manu Q and i told them how come if i can only use it there? the managers said no b/c even though it says walgreens, walgreens has made a deal with the manufacturers of that product to put walgreens on those Q’s making them manufacturer coupon exclusively for walgreens…anyways..just wanted to avoid any hassle…i plan out nicely my list and coupons together and when I am not able to match a certain thing with a coupon my whole list is out of whack and my expected OOP is thrown off and it just becomes a mad mad mess!!!!!!!..yikes.. Thanks so much for the help guys, you have no idea what it means to have such help:-)

  Collin (Mrs. Hip) March 9, 2011 at 1:32 am MST

  Elizabeth,
  sorry your wags treated you like that, but they are VERY wrong. Contact corporate about it or call the manager out… IVC coupons are reimbursable from the manufacturer, but again they are unique to WAGS only so they can (and will) stack with manufacturers coupons. MQ’s that can be used at any retailer that accepts MQ’s ALWAYS start with a 5 or 9. Also you can point out that the IVC does NOT count as a MQ in the coupon to item ratio therefore you need not have an additional item to make it work. If you still are having trouble, have the store manager (not assistant manager) contact one or both of these managers who KNOW how coupons work. 1st is Eric at the wags in Vista CA on Santa Fe (there are 2 so not sure of which address it is but need to contact Eric). Next is Jessica at the wags in Oceanside at the Cannon street store. (they can get contact info from corporate) Both these managers know coupons and know that coupons are as good as cash and that you can use both in one tranny. HTH Get to know your store managers too. This can be your best aset. Explain to them that you would shop at their store more often if they made an effort to understand coupon use and realize that it is as good as cash and equals a sale which is the business they are in..retail. be nice, and polite but firm. If it does not work at a particular store try another. I have several contacts now at several stores and life is so much easier. One of my managers will take expired coupons (within 2 weeks) as she knows she will still get reimbursed and again it is a sale!!! I now shop mostly at that store. GL

  Thanks for the reply! Here is the cherry on top! Before I went to the walgreens to score that visine deal(which i didn’t in the end 🙁 ) I called the manager and told him what I wanted to do and he said it wasn’t possible. So I called corporate and asked if I could and the girl said yes you shouldnt have any issues. So i go to that walgreens and get my stuff to d the transaction and the coupons together were beeping so that manager I spoke too cameand explained again that I couldnt stack a manu, in-store cirular Q and an IVC…so I tried to have a glorious Collin moment!!! and I stepped aside, called corporate so they could speak with the manager to tell him what they told me just a few min before…and now the guy from corporate said no!!!!!!!!!!!!! making me look like a total nut that went out of their way to prove someone wrong and in turn i looked more wrong than anyone else. I explained to him that i called earlier and they said yes and that is why i went ahead and tried to do the deal even though he told me i couldnt before that. So yea… any other advice? walgreens is really upsetting me cuz they have the great thing tha they have IVC and in store ad q’s that u can stack with manu Q’s to score great deals and its just not working for me at all.

  it is a level you reach when you have spent a certain amount on your card. mine is at Gold level so I get 20% off all my orders that are not on sale. I get the 20% or the sale price whichever is higher on sale items. You have to reach certain amount of points (dollars spent ) to achieve these levels.

  there is also a $1 IPQ making it free, but be careful, not all of them are clearanced. you must have the right UPC. Be sure to price check first. I tried at 2 of my stores and none were clearance. 🙁

    Is the Therma Care limited to one per Wellness card? Has anyone tried buying it more than once?

    Also the $3 internet coupon for Keri lotion beeped at the register, but the cashier put it through anyway, I was a bit concerned she may not put it through. Anyone else had it beep as well?

    The Snickers Bar was also discounted since I have silver membership, but still got the .88 +UP. So for gold or silver members, the Snickers bar is a small MM, too bad it’s only 1 per Wellness account.

  Mine beeped but she did not push it through. But after I had her take the lotion out of my purchase I noticed it was priced at $8.49 instead of $6.99 so I’m glad it beeped.

  Went ahead and bought the Therma Care a couple times at two different stores and worked without any problem.

  The bonus is that since I am silver member, it was discounted from $3.99 to $3.59 and the in ad coupon still took $3.99 off. So it’s a small MM for silver and gold members! Which makes up for the taxes paid on it. 🙂

  I had the $2 and $3 printable keri coupons and they both beeped and the cashier wouldn’t put it threw for me. At my rite aid it depends on the cashier and my favorite wasn’t working today. 🙁 , however i went to family dollar and it beeped there too, but they put it threw so i got 2 bottles free and 2 for a dollar. they were smaller bottles but still good deals.

  I dont even know what starts “with a 49” means!!! Is this something that the average shopper would know about? Because, I have never heard of “49 coupons” Is there a place in the store that says, “do not combine coupons with a 49” I am with the original poster, I would have asked the clerk is I wasnt sure what to do, not everyone is a coupon expert and knows the rule about these “49 coupons”. If I hadnt read here about it, I never would have known, and we must remember that not everyone reads these types of forums!

  It’s allowed. I promise you. I work at Rite Aid. Our in-ad coupons can be combined with any other kind of coupon. Everyone that works at my store says the same thing.

  Now, I wouldn’t take two VV coupons for the Dixie (let’s say two from different months), but one in-ad and one VV is completely acceptable. Rite Aid very knowingly put both those coupons out there.

I often think that the average couponer would do better not reading all of these coupons forums, because there are so many different opinions, and some of the above posters sound certain that they are indeed right, and even a little upset that everybody wouldnt know about this magic “#49 . Anyway thanks for clearing this up.

  no you cant, the policy says, one 49 can be combined with a 5 starting number coupon,, the in ad and the video coupons both start with a 49 so they can NOT be used together,, it is in the rite aid policy that should be hanging at your register, if not go print it out on the portal in the managers office….. Rite aid put this policy together so you can know what coupons you can use together and this was a great way to tell which one’s can be stacked, that is why the numbers are important

    My Almay coupon was for $2 off any cosmetic purchase. Can I use that for the make up remover pads in the same deal she has listed? I had planned too but now I’m second guessing myself. They are $5.50 so $11 for 3 (B2G1), minus (3) $2 MQ, plus the $2 UP and $3 SCR makes them all 3 free if that is considered a cosmetic purchase…

    The concentrated similac also has a $2.00 SCR, limit 4. A good deal is to buy 3 at $9.99 (my store is $10.49, but $9.44 with my 10% discount). Use the $10.00 off three coupon on the bottles, plus three of the $2.00 in ad coupon (my store allows this but not sure all do), brings total down to $12.32. Then get $6.00 SCR, so each bottle is $2.11.

  FYI on the BOGO King size candy coupon… not only does it only have a value of $1.29, but the King size minis are NOT part of RA’s BOGO sale. So doesn’t actually work. (I bought them anyway since I was already there… if I’d thought of it I probably could have picked up another King size candy bar as the RA freebie, and also used the coupon… but didn’t do that. So $1.30 for 2; not a fabulous deal (but yummy! ;).

  Also, if anyone plans to use the AirWick BOGO sale, that coupon has a max value of $1.39 on it, and they sell for $1.69 at our store. While $.30 for two AirWick sprays is still a GREAT deal, but I did want to point it out for anyone expecting to get it for free. 🙂

    Also, just a small rant (!)– my local stores are only getting a truck every 2 wks and it can be really difficult to get some of these deals especially when other couponers are waiting at the door first thing Sun. morning to stock up. I hate to ask them to write so many rainchecks, but maybe they will go back to weekly deliveries soon.

  The same thing happened to me today when I bought 4 cans of chunk light. So the cashier checked the shelf and saw the $1 Up tag and spoke to the mgr. about it; the mgr. said $1 Up per transaction, even though the sale is buy 1 get 1 50% off. So the cashier wondered if I could return 2 and buy it again to get another Up, but the mgr. said that wouldn’t work–so I returned 2 cans. Odd thing is that at another RA earlier in the week, I bought 4 cans and received 4 Ups.

  Sure. I do see where people buy a ton of things and wipe the stores out when the things were free after rewards to begin with. I agree with other comments I have read elsewhere that if they are going to impose limits that it would be better for everyone concerned if they could do this up front rather than changing the rules mid-week or so.

  The program is relatively new, so hopefully they will get any kinks out and things will be more consistent in the future. I have loved the unlimited +Ups even though I have consideration for other customers, but I am also fine with a limit ( like CVS)…. it is just the back and forth that seems to cause so much confusion.

    Wanted to share the AMAZING deal I scored at Rite Aid today. I bought: 2 NYC Liquid Lip Shine $1.99 reg and 2 NYC Eye Duet Liners $1.99 reg for a $4.04 MM! The Liquid Lip Shine rang up for $0.49e instead of $1.99 & $0.99!!! I didn’t notice until I got home and was looking at my receipt. The eye liner rang up $1.99 and $0.99 as expected with the BOGO 50% off. And all four printed the $1 UPS! I did use the $1/1 NYC cosmetic coupons from the March All You. So I ended up with $0.04 in overage from the coupons. I am not sure that is “legal” but honestly didn’t know the lip gloss rang up at $0.49!
    So here’s the deal:
    Buy 2 NYC Liquid Lip Gloss (Reg $1.99/ Rang up $0.49e) $0.98
    Buy 2 NYC Duet Eye Liner (Reg $1.99, one rings up 1/2 off) $2.98
    Use 2 $1/1 NYC Lip Product found in March All You (Or one? Or not at all?)
    Use 2 $1/1 NYC Eye Product from March All You
    Total = $0.04 overage PLUS
    GET 4 $1 UPS
    = $4.04 MM

    I received another $3.00 in +Up rewards and my receipt had another $3.00/$15.00 survey attached. I think they paid me almost $6.00 to shop today!
    Nothing like a bag of FREE!
    I already did the toilet paper and paper towel deals yesterday when I got my prescriptions filled,, spent $20.00 yesterday, for about $40.00 worth of products. I qualified for the $3.00 survey and used that as a coupon today.

    Has anyone noticed how they changed the Dixie plate video from feb is now only $3 instead of $5 and it now expires 2/26 when the other feb videos expire march 26th. What is going on with rite aid lately? I can’t stand the new video site. Why would it let you print a video coupon that is expired? It’s like how they changed the fish oil video, stopped doing $5/$25 and now limit monthly food ups to 1 item/month. Really, rite aid? Way to push away the customers that rack up your sales week after week.

  FYI just got back from Rite Aid to discover three of my UPS from the Betty Crockers deal actually expired on Feb 26. They were printed first on a really long receipt with a whole bunch of food item ups that didn’t expire until March 15,. So if you have ups from the Betty Crockers deal check your receipt . I had also checked but would only look on the bottom and those were a different date than the ones on top. I have never had that happen with ups before. Kinda a ripoff. First time mine expired and those Betty Crocker were hard won ones too. Bummer.

It happened with the L’oreal Youth code set and Veet. There was a Veet coupon in their ad and I had a ManQ to go with it. Has anyone else had this problem, or is it just my area?

  This is a little late, but you were only supposed to get one.

  The store should have pulled bad signage. The wording on the signs insinuates that you get two, but it means you get a $5 if you do the whole BOGO deal, not $5 each. I think it’s worded kind of correctly, but just super confusing. We were supposed to pull them.
