Rite Aid: *HOT* Deal on Mars Easter Miniatures – Only $0.49 Per Bag (Reg. $2.99!)
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!)
Wish there was a Rite Aid in my small town!
buy 4 bags right?
Woops! That was a typo – I meant to say to buy 4 bags.
are you buying 4 bags or 2? because it says to use. 2 $1/2 for 2 bags?
Hot doggies!
Off to RA after work 🙂
Me too but I’m betting that they’ll be all gone by then because this deal is HOT!
Hershey/Nestlé +ups for buying Mars? Wow!
How did she get 8 UP Rewards on 4 bags of candy??
i was wondering that too…lol.
She got 2 different $1 up rewards for each bag. There must be simultaneous offers going.
Thanks!! will give it a try!
Worked for me too!!!!
I bought 4 bags last night, 2 bags of 11.5 oz. Twix minis, 1 bag 11.5 oz. Milkyway minis and 1 bag 8 oz. Kit Kat miniatures. I got 3 $1. + ups Hershey/Nestlé and 3 $1. + ups Hershey/Dove. The Snickers, MilkWay, and Kit Kat don’t seem to be double dipping. (a friend bought same as I did with exception of Snickers instead of MilkyWay and we got the same + ups)
I just seen this and ran up town to try it…WORKS!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Why are the rewards from Hershey if you are ordering Mars? They are 2 separate companies.
When I went to my Rite Aid the other day there were also peely coupons on some of the Mars bags so keep your eyes open if you dont have the other coupons. They were for $1.00/2
Does anyone know if this works with the M&Ms or variety packs?
Does Not work on M&Ms. Only Mar’s Miniatures Easter Candy & Twix Easter Minis work.
It does not work with M&M’s. I tried it this morning because I planned to buy them anyway. The M&M’s bag with individual packs only produce the Hershey/Nestlé +up. As far as in have been able to see possibly only the Twix 11.5 oz minis and the Mars mini 10.5 oz bag with mix of Twix-Snickers-3Muskateers-MilkyWay are producing the double dip on + ups. Bags of Snickers, MilkyWay, M&M’S, & Kit Kat do not.
can you buy less than 4 bags and get rewards?
You can buy just one if you would like, but you will be paying a little more because you won’t be able to use the coupon. So, for the cheapest candy, buy at least 2:) Hope this helps.
I got variety bags and it did not work in Ohio
Where were you in ohio? Thanks.
Was one of the bags you purchased something other than Mars Miniatures and Twix Minis?
I just did it in ohio…near Canton and it worked.
I just also did this in Northwest Ohio buying the Mars Spring Mix Mini and It worked fine. I did notice that the milkyway bag was the same color so make sure you get the correct package
This did not work for me. I am in west point va.
The double-dip is only working for the Mars Miniatures (as pictured above) and Twix Easter Minis. M&Ms and Snickers aren’t producing the extra $1.00 +Up Reward.
I just bought 2-Snickers Easter Minis 11.5oz and 2-Twix Easter Minis. I got back 6-$1 Rewards. I was hoping for 2 more. However, $1 each after rewards for 4 is not bad!
Did they catch the glitch? Ohios didn’t work I am in Michigan so im not going to risk it
I just did it in Ohio..it worked!!
Worked for me in W.MI!! Sweeeet super cheap candy! Yum. Was also really hesitant on this since a few were having issues. Buy exactly what ones they state here. I had only the Twix 11.5oz to choose from (other type was gone) and it worked. GL!
I also see at the bottom of my receipt it shows apparently limit has been met (4).
I’m in Virginia and it worked on the mars minatures.
worked for me here in Ohio just now….great deal..
Same deal shown in picture worked in Lindon/Orem, UT.
Limit?
Limit of 4
I bought 3 bags of the ones shown and 1 twix mini here in southern cali (Los Angeles) and it worked like a charm. thanks Collin!!!
The store where I bought mine were all out the bags in the picture.
Try the 11.5 oz Twix minis as stated here! It worked for me.
they were out of the “double dip” rewards candy when I got there; but i still found a good deal gang! I got the 2x M&Ms and 2x Milkway minis and there is a printable that was out there (was available beginning of March on coupons.com) for $1.50 off any bag of Mars seasonal product! 2.99 x 4 – $6.00 MQ = 6.92 OOP and $4.00 RR 🙂 .73 a bag. just thought I’d throw that out there for everyone in case ur looking for a different scenario without the double dips 🙂
Worked for me in Michigan. Bought 2 of the Easter mix, 2 of the Easter Twix. Got 8 $1 UPs.
Good in NJ. Bought all Twix!
just worked in philadelphia,pa.
Just worked in Lexington Ohio. I bought 1 bag of Easter Twix & 3 of the Easter minis (the ones in picture). I plan on using most of the UP rewards tomorrow on the bottled water deal.
Worked for me!! Though cashier shook her head at me. ;-(
Probably because she’s afraid there won’t be any left for her when she’s off work and has time to purchase the deal.
That…or maybe cause there wasn’t any left after I bought them. 🙂
why would she shake her head at you for purchasing a product in her store that her company has put on sale?
Her actual statement was…how are you getting 8 ups for only 4 products???
How rude! My cashier said “wow! Good for you”! Your cashier must have been jealous 🙂
Sounds like it meg!
I bought 4 bags last night and this worked for me with a return of $8 in Ups. I used two of the Mars Coupons ($1.00/2) and there is also a Riteaid Facebook coupon out there I think from the Easter egg hunt (which I didn’t have because I used it last week). One set of Up Rewards is a monthly deal and one is a weekly deal so it was a double-dip. Confirmed that it does not work on the Snickers packs, though the packages pictured above still contain Snickers. Great deal!!!
The Facebook $1 coupon is for M & M’s
Just worked for me in Ohio but there was only 3 bags left. Not complaining though.
I just went bought 4 bags and got the 8 ups here in upstate New York. Thanks sooooo much !!!
I just bought 3 Twix Easter minis & 1 Mars mini and it worked like a charm in NY (LI).
YAY 🙂
It works I did it yesterday!!!
thank you, found four variety bags..no coupons, but 8 ups back on a 11.96 purchase still makes them 99 a bag and that is a fantastic price. Now i have breakfast lunch and dinner…yum
Scored!!! in Silver Spring, MD
Just worked in NC.
I only got back 7 in bucks for some reason 🙁
What did you buy??
Well I sent my boyfriend (that was way lol) and he got 3 bags of the spring mix and snickers minis
The spring mic may be the Hershey’s candy and not Mars. I read above that the snickers aren’t producing the UPs. : (
Worked in Ma!
Well I sent my boyfriend (that was way lol) and he got 3 bags of the spring mix and snickers minis
This totally worked for me. Now the office can have some Easter candy. Thanks Collin.
Worked for me in San Jose, California. Bought the same bags in the picture. They were in seasonal section so be sure to check that one.
Thanks a lot Collin.
Wow what a great deal. I just bought these at rite aid in Beaverton and the shelf was full of the mars spring mix bags.
Bought 2 Easter Minis mix and 2 Easter Minis Twix, & received 8 – $1 Ups. Thanks, Collin & Liz! 🙂
Work for me in Orem UT!!!
i got 3 variety and 1 mars easter and got $8 back in Rockwood MI. Last ones on the shelf although there were some snickers I think the cashier was going to get. She was impressed.
Thanks so much! Just scored this in Maryland. Used some rain checks from Christmas to get the Palmer bagged candy for 50 cents per bag, too. My Easter baskets are looking good!
Worked perfect in Ventura County, CA. Great deal!
Just worked for me in Michigan!
Will this be working tomorrow?
