Wow! If you are looking to snag a great deal on Easter Candy for this weekend, then you may want to dash over to Rite Aid! Hip2Save reader, Liz, just sent me the following email and pictures…

I went to Rite Aid this morning and bought 4 bags of Mars Miniatures Easter Candy ($2.99 each). I used one $1/2 Mars Easter Products coupon from RP 2/17 (exp 3/31) and one $1/2 Mars Easter Products coupon RP 3/17 (exp 3/31). Paid $11.96, Received 8 $1.00 +Up Rewards. It’s like paying $0.49 a bag! Wow! Nice Easter double-dip candy!

Check out Liz’s deal scenario:
Buy 4 Bags of Mar’s Miniatures Easter Candy $2.99 each
Use 2 $1/2 coupons from the 2/17 RP or 3/17 RP
Pay $9.96
Get 4 $1 +Up Rewards (from purchase of Hershey or Nestle)
Get 4 $1 +Up Rewards (from purchase of Hershey or Dove)
Final Cost $1.96 for all – just $0.49 per bag!

Note that I have not yet personally tested this deal. Also, note that this same deal is reported to be working with the 11.5 oz. bags of Twix Easter Minis as well.

(Thanks so much, Liz!)

  6. Hilary

    Worked at the Rite Aid in Etters, PA. However, the bags had the regular price of $4.49 below them, so I had her scan and check to make sure they were $2.99 a bag. Thanks for the great deal!

    • Carol

      I also had to have our cashier check the price. Glad I did. AWESOME deal 🙂

  7. Tina

    Sorry, I am new to this. I’m not sure what “Use 2 $1/2 coupons from the 2/17 RP or 3/17 RP” means? I’ve looked online and looked in the Rite-Aid paper. For some reason I can’t find the $1 off 2 Mars products?

    • Heather

      RP is Red Plum. The coupons came out in the Red Plum on 2/17 and the 3/17 Red Plum issued in the Sunday paper.

  8. Heather

    Does anyone know if you can do this deal multiple times, or is it a limit of 4 bags? Thanks!

    • Regina

      Limit of 4 bags per rite aid card.

  9. Regina

    Be on the look out for $1/2 peelies on the Mar’s bags of candy.

  10. DeAnn

    Just to let you know what I did since my store had only 1 bag left 🙁 I bought 1 bag at 2.99, and 1 milky way bunny for .69, used the $1/2 Mars coupon and got 2 $1 ups. I noticed that one up said for purchase of Hershey/Nestle and the other one said Hershey/Dove.

  11. Cindy

    Still working today in Ohio. Bought 4 bags and got $8 UPS!!!

  12. Denise

    Bought today in So Cal. And I only received 4 $1 rewards. So didn’t
    work for me

    • Laurie

      WHAT DID YOU BUY THAT DID NOT WORK? tHANKS

      • Larkin

        Laurie, I live in VA so the deal may be different. Yesterday I bought 2 bags of the Easter mini variety pack (mars) and it printed 4 $1 UPS!! Today I bought 2 bags of Easter mini Snickers and it only printed 2 $1 UPS. So my advise would be to go with the variety pack if you can find it. My store was all sold out 🙁

  13. Betty

    Worked beautifully in Littleton, CO

  14. Christa

    I’m going shopping tomorrow. If anyone tries the deal tomorrow, I’d be interested in knowing if the deal is still working. Thanks!

    • Cathy

      Did it this morning in maryland, did not work for me. I bought the mix, as shown in Collins photo.

      • Regina

        The deal is dead per the blogs this morning.

  15. rebecca osborne

    Double dip did NOT work in Jacksonville, NC. Only received 4 $1 Ups from 4 11.5 oz bags of Twix, not 8. Curious if it will work on the assorted bag shown in the picture.

  16. gail

    Yes, it must be just the variety packs.. I bought 4 mini snickers bags and only got 4 $1.00 ups

  17. mic

    deal is dead. I just did it yesterday and worked fine but today it didn’t. the glitch has been fixed I guess. =) but I am glad I got some =)

  18. lovedeals

    Deal is dead. I just tried in San Jose, California and it is giving only one reward.

  19. Lindsay

    Worked yesterday on variety packs only. Bought 2 snickers because there were only 3 variety packs (of course) and they generated only one plus up each. Went to different Rite Aid today for 2 more variety packs and the deal didn’t work; only one plus up each.

  20. Precious

    Didn’t work for me ;( So CA
