  1. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    and there is a 50 cent off 2 cadberry egg video values coupon!

  2. kenac

    and there is a .50/2 video value coupon for cadbery eggs!

    • Collin

      Thanks! I completely forgot about that coupon… just added it! 🙂

  3. Heather

    and the hershey vv prints as 1.00/2 hershey’s miniatures, so you can use that too if you buy miniatures. The snap apart bunnies are reg. 1.99, so if you have a discount it will kick in on this one.

    • Tara

      So if I have a 10% discount then they will ring up as 1.79? Making me 2 cents short of the $20. Do you think I would have to buy another Cadbury egg to get the total over $20 or will it still print if you buy 19.98?
      Oh I see from another post that the Cadbury eggs ring up at .79 with the 10% so I will definitely add a third egg to do the deal.

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        Yes, I bought 2 and I was short because of my discount. I just went and got a cadbury egg and got the UP.

        • Beth

          I didn’t think that you could use the 10% off coupons on sale items, well at least that is what my sc store told me when I went back in to see why it didnt come off of the total. This was the 10% off that printed on the receipt, like a quarterly reward. Was the store wrong?

          • Samantha Booker

            When you get to a certain level of spending, you receive a 10% discount, etc. without using any coupons. HTH!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      My VV cp printed out as $1.00/2 hersheys candy pouches just like it said on the site.

  4. genie

    Also a $1 off 2 hershey miniature video value cpn.

    • Heather

      When I click to watch that video value, it comes up $1 off 2 Hershey’s pouches, not miniatures. I don’t know what the mix up is, but it’s not the right coupon.

      • kenac

        it says on the pouches til you go to print it…the coupon is on miniatures.

        • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

          I printed the coupon and it printed out pouches, not miniatures. Bummer.

  5. brandyhill

    I bought 2 bags of the Reese’s eggs and didn’t get any register rewards 🙁

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      you mean up rewards? this is for rite aid.

    • Tracey

      You have to use a wellness card at Rite Aid in order to get the up rewards.

  6. Jay

    Don’t forget the $0.50 off 2 reeses video value coupon.

  7. tiffany

    This scenrio would work as long as your local RA is strictly enforcing the new corp coupon policy. My local RA is limiting everything that’s on sale to 4 items per person per week. Sure, how the heck are they going to keep track? i’m sooooo mad right now.

    • Penny

      The deal is tracking though… so you don’t have to get it all in one transaction. maybe you can slip a different transaction in later in the week. HTH

    • Ronni

      That makes no sense….they are advertising buy $20 get $10 +up….how can you reach the $20 mark if they have placed limits?

    • 6frugal

      I thought the new policy was only 4 of the same coupons, not 4 of one product. At least that is how they do it where I shop.

    • GF

      Get another wellness card! I have one so does my husband! 😉

  8. Jim Carlson

    If they want you to buy $20 worth..
    heck they need to be a little flexible with letting you buy multiple products!

  9. joscobey

    I’m in Memphis and don’t have those coupons in my SS I got today… Wonder if they are coming on Tuesday?

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      I am glad to hear from someone in the Memphis area on this one. I have been tearing my coupon book apart looking for the Hershey coupons. I guess we didn’t get them in this area.

    • Samantha Booker

      I’ve had a sick kiddo today and haven’t even checked mine; I’m in Southaven. Bummer on the no coupons! 🙁

    • Jodi

      I have some extras. Do you want me to pop some in the mail to you?

      • joscobey

        Thank you sooo much. That is so sweet of you to offer! No need to do that, but I do appreciate the offer. Thanks!

    • Chelsea

      mine were not in ss, they were in the Hasbro playsaver insert

  10. mandee

    I have the 10% off from wellness for every thing thats not on sale so If you have the 10% or 20% off with wellness the Hershey’s Snapsy Snap-Apart Bunny 2 oz ring up $1.79 or lower depending on the discount you have. I found this out when I tried the buy 10Hershey’s Snapsy Snap-Apart Bunny 2 oz and ! cadbury egg oh that rang up $0.79 and did not get the $10 up but they do keep count so I will go back tomorrow for 1 more to get the $10 up. just a heads up..

    • Tara

      Wow ok so the cadbury eggs ring up lower too! Guess I better buy a third one to do this deal and make sure that $10 up prints.

  11. Tammy

    It’s funny you mentioned this. I just got back from RA and did this same transaction.

  12. Lindsay Marchant

    Do you have to buy all $20 worth in 1 transaction? Or does it keep track if you bought $10 worth in 1 transaction and $10 worth in a second??

  13. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    This is great! Im using the $10+UP I got from the Tangled promo. So, after I buy the chocolate I get another $10 +Up back! WOWZA!

  14. natasha

    grrrrr. those coupons aren’t in my ss!

  15. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I just got back from Rite Aid and this scenario worked perfectly. And more good news, you do not have to buy all $20 in a single transaction! If you have bought any easter candy recently, you will see on the bottom of your receipt the total amt you have spent. It keeps track of your total for you. Good luck with your easter candy! I am going to make little gift bags with mine and hand it out to the students I tutor in Detroit.

  16. melinda06sue

    are the hershey miniatures triggering that $1 up as well as the reeses?

    • Sheila

      yes I just did it today!

  17. Kori

    Does the deal work on the smaller bags of Reese’s that are $3? The ad only shows the 4.99 bags.

  18. sol

    I can’t wait for Coffee with Collin tomorrow!

  19. Jessica

    ohhh wish we had a Rite Aid!!! Or maybe not, too much temptation to eat it all!

  20. forfran

    On a similar note, I used my 2 Ghiradelli $1.50 off coupons today at Rite-Aid (found here thanks to H2S) so instead of $6 I paid $3 for the 2 bags and got a $1 UP reward for my next trip 😉

    • kit

      i got that ghiradelli one too! 🙂

      i bought 2 bags of easter peanut m&ms for $4.88 and they counted toward the $20/$10 UPs; they tracked on the bottom of my receipt. i used the $2 off 2 & got a $1 UP. i got my $2 off 2 Q in the smart saver “junk mail” insert.

      reporting from kentucky,
      kit

      • kenac

        wow thanks! I bought 4 m&ms yesterday with other stuff making it a MM and was going to go today and get the scenario above but it is on my receipt too. Only 10 bucks and change to go, so with a couple more qs another MM!

  21. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I wonder how many times this deal scenario will work? I would like to roll my $10 UP+ reward.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      limit of 1 in the ad

    • Tara

      In my ad it says 1 offer per household for the $10 hershey up

  22. maria wagner

    what coupon in ss are they talking about that says good on centerpiece items? I cant get the march video values to come up????

    • Jodi

      The centerpiece coupon was in the 4/3 SS.

  23. sierra

    can I just say i’m WAY stoked to go to riteaid tomorrow. candy! candy! candy!

  24. Angela

    is there a printable anywhere for the 1/3 reeses and the 1/2 centerpiece?

  25. Frugaldealfinder

    Do you think we could use a $3 off $15 survey coupon with this, or is that over?

    • jenn

      Thats what I was wondering too!

    • kenac

      I used one today and it worked fine.

      • Tonya

        I used one today too- worked fine!

  26. lisa

    I am at the 20% discount level with my rite aid card, does anyone know if I have to be at $20 before or after my discount for the hershey deal?

    • Faith

      I have 20% as well, you need to spend $20 after your discount to get the reward.

      • lisa

        That’s what I thought, thanks:)

  27. Lacey

    Has anyone tried the candy deal at a “Value” Rite Aid?

    • kenac

      what is a value rite aid?

    • Chelsea

      My neighbor just did and called me to tell me it worked! All of our Rite Aids are “Value” Rite Aids here in Chattanooga now 🙁 booooooo!

  28. Lisa

    Works for So Cal area; I did the scenario recommended and it worked like a charm except I also got an additional $4 off from an UP that I hadn’t used. It was almost too good to be true. Thanks for posting; great deal.

  29. Kara

    There is also the $2/2 Mars candy coupon that was a printable if you printed it. I used that for the M&Ms and it counted towards the $20 plus got the $1 UP when I bought two. The snap apart bunnies do come to $1.79 with the 10% discount. I did the candy transaction separate so that I could make sure I was at $20. I figured I paid $3 for $20 worth of candy. All set for my two boys:)

    • amanda

      I did almost the same deal as you – was thrilled that the M&Ms printed the $10 +UP, although I’m wondering if they will fix their system for this soon…

  30. Tammy

    Thanks! Did you scenario and it worked like a charm. I’m now stocked with Easter candy!! You rock, Collin!

  31. kelli

    it didn’t work for me 🙁 !!! BUMMER!!

    • Sheila
    • kelli

      SO, I just called that 1-800 number at the bottom of my receipt and now they are sending my $10 ups!!

  32. Sheila

    Did anyone by chance get two $10 rewards with this deal? I bought my $20 of candy in one trans., got my reward, used a $15 up to pay. Then did a second trans. with a mouthgaurd (raincheck), and two scuncii hairties, a couple snickers eggs, and a hershey bunny. I paid with my $10 up from candy and then I got ANOTHER $10 UP, and two $1.99 UPs for the scuncii…I’m thinking I just got lucky!!!

  33. Emily

    Ok, just scored at the Rite Aid candy deal and made .60 on $20.40 worth of candy.

    Bought:

    2 Bags Hershey’s Almond Kisses 2/4.88
    2 Bags Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs 2/4.88
    4 Bags Hershey’s Cookies & Cream Eggs 2/4.88
    1 Reese’s pieces carrot .88

    Total 20.40
    Got Back $14.00 in up rewards ($10 plus $1 for every 2 bags)
    Used 4 $1/2 Hershey’s Easter Candy (found on tear pad at Albertsons)
    Used 1 $3 off $15 purchase for doing the survey

    Yeah!

    • LeeJay

      do you mind telling me where exactly in Albertsons you found the tearpad? TIA 😀

  34. Jo

    Thanks so much for the info on this deal! I got 4of the bunnies and 6 bags of candy. With my 10% Wellness discount, it was $21.80 before coupons, $16.80 after coupons, and I got $13 in +UP rewards. Hooray! I used my +UPs immediately on my next transaction to stock up on Lays potato chips, because that is a great deal and chips are way too expensive lately!

  35. Melissa

    I bought 8 bags of the candy for 2/4.88 yesturday and bought 2 bags of the m&m’s on sunday the same price. I didn’t get my $10 up reward for spending over $20.00. I thought the 8 bags were gonna add up right till i just found out it was a few cents shy UGH does it have to be the same transaction or could it be 2 transactions from a day apart? I completly messed up on that deal. lol

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      People are saying that it keeps track on your wellness card. So, go back and buy something small. It should trigger it.

      • Melissa

        I went back today and got a cadburry cream egg and it triggered the 10 up whooo hooo! I must of used my husbands card for the 2 bags of m&m’s. I am getting myself screwed up with having both cards. lol Gotta figure out a new way of keeping track of it all. Thanks for helping.:) You all are great!

    • kelli

      it DOES keep track of it. At the bottom of my receipt it said 10 up for $20 in Easter candy $16.54 (which was my total in candy!!) So try it and see if it works!

    • Nora

      It will work, did it today. Yesterday did the deal listed and forgot I was going to get 10% off with my wellness discount . Today went back and bought two cad. eggs and it printed off .

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        I purchased over $20 of Hershey/Reeses/Cadbury Easter chocolate yesterday and at the bottom of the receipt it said I only bought $6 worth =/ Did not receive the $10UP reward…I wonder if they have already corrected their system…

  36. michelle

    The M&M’s are still counting towards the spend $20 get $10 UPR! Just did it today using 4 bags of M&M’s to get towards my $20 total and got the $10 UPR! Makes for some cheap candy with that $2/2 Mars candy coupon!!

  37. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I’m In ky and I didn’t get the candy coupons in my insert . BOO HOO.

  38. Julie L.

    I did 6 assorted M&Ms and 3 Nestle Crunch Nest eggs. Got back $14+UP.
    Just a heads up….the .55cents off any one bag Nestle nest eggs from coupons.com beeped.
    She tried to scan each of the three .55cents I have and all won’t go through. Cashier said they have a new policy that coupons that don’t scan can’t be pushed through anymore. I said it’s ok no problem. I still got the 3 nestle crunch because they’re my favorite!!! I wonder why it won’t go through. I did buy the right product, right size too..and exactly as pictured on the coupon. The $5 off Gillette fusion proglide razor from P&G mailer also beeped so I had it voided. Maybe they have an old computer register??? hmm…..??? OH lots of chocolate!!! yum yum ;P

  39. Stephanie

    The Cadbury coupon is part of the April VV, isn’t it? Finally found it!

  40. laura

    there is also a $1.00 /2 Hershey minatures in the April VVC. I bought two minature bags as part of the deal and used that coupon too

  41. kim stuart

    I was going to do this deal and pay for it with my UPs and the cashier said it will NOT work on the small bags.. it has to be the 4.99 larger bags. Is this true? Because she said if I dont get
    my 10.00 in UPs they will not refund the candy and I will loose my ups that I paid for.

  42. Beth

    Hey is this an all month offer? Can I do this transaction this week and still get the $10UP? Someone Please let me know, Comment on here or email me at bethybaby_46@hotmail.com Thanks!!!
