I headed out to Rite Aid to take advantage of some of the good coupons! A few notes on my scenario:
- I needed Listerine. We were just about out.
- I needed Finish. Again, just about out.
- The coupons for most of the Johnson & Johnson products say 1 per customer and a total of 4 coupons for the same product. It really limited the ways to do these scenarios.
- I have a 20% wellness discount.

Hmm, I had 3 SS inserts on Sunday (1/6) and no Mitchum coupons. So sad!
Aww, I got 3 Smart Source coupon inserts in Sunday’s paper and not one of them has the Mitchum coupon in it. Maybe it’s not in the south…?
I signed in to J&J but I don’t see the $5 rebate. Is there another place to print it from?
Hi Shannon; thank you for all you do with this site and the coupon match ups to make my fiancee and my life easier. I also have the 20% wellness discount and was wondering if the nivea rang up @ 2.50 a piece or less because of your discount? I seen where someone had said it rang up @$2.39 with 20% discount, original price of $2.99??? Thanks again Shannon √
Hey James,
Mine was $3.29 regular price, rang up at $2.50 for me. Do be careful, there are a few clearanced ones. I went to Pottstown store on 100 yesterday and I think their prices are close to my store.
I also came across this problem $2.39 w/ 20% off discunt and did not reach the $15 for the $8 RR.
It seems some stores have the original price higher than $2.99. I went to the Douglassville and Pottstown Rite Aids and the original price was $2.99 – 20% = $2.39… I was prepared and purchased 8 and used 4 coupons for 3$ off 2. Not a $2.00 MM but MM of $0.88; all in all still a great deal.
What newspapers had the Nivea coupons in them?? Not in morning call lehigh valley, Morning call reading, or Reading Eagle!! Drives me crazy.. I love their lip stuff!
I would love to know too. I’m in Easton and I usually just get the Morning call
I’m in Pottstown… And the Pottstown Mercury News Paper has the RP and the Nivea coupons.
James,
Did the Mercury have the Johnson & Johnson coupons – Listerine, etc?
No, unfortunately I had to get the Philadelphia Inquirer for the Johnson and Johnson coupons… Phila. paper had 3 SS inserts; Reading Eagle had 2 RP inserts and the Pottstown Mercury had 2 SS inserts and 2 RP inserts.
Thanks for the infor – I’m stuck with the Express Times and Morning Call. Oh well I will have to wait and see if my Mom in law got them in Jersey
Morning Call in Lehigh Valley never has Nivea coupons. Ever. It stinks. We dont normally get the J&J coupons and didnt this time either. :(
The $5 bengay zero degrees coupon also worked on the bengay cold therapy which was only $5.99 on sale
Linda or Shannon; Does the bengay zero or the bengay cold therapy count towards the 10.00+UP when you buy $30.00 ??
Yep :)
Great, your the best…
I think I’m going to buy the Finish at CVS they have them 2 for $8 and that way I can us 2 coupons plus they are part of the Spend $3o and get $1o CVS cash card.
Oh neat!! Thanks for saying something about it because I didn’t know that and I want to get some.
Too bad my Sunday inserts didn’t include 90% off these GREAT coupons!
Same here, was really bummed.
Great deals!!! I was wondering how soon upr expire? Like I have two on my card for some things that I bought on the 22nd of December. Would I still be able to use them? And also how do you get the 20% off?
They usually expire within 2 weeks.
That is what I thought…. Thank you!
Alison,
Did a post http://forthemommas.com/articles/rite-aid-wellness-program-discount
Thank you!!!
You can opt out of having them on your card and have them print. This way you can see what you have and use them when you want to.
Nice trip! I have my deals all worked up to shop later, but I haven’t seen anything about a $3UP for the Finish. Is there a monthly on that? Thanks!
Yep, Monthly when you buy $15.00
Excellent! Thanks again!
And can you use 2 finish q’s if they are BOGO? I forget. Might still be better at Giant – $1.34 after q?
Holly, the Giant was 20 ct right? Or am I mistaken?
Oh didn’t realize that Rite Aid had the larger ones. I might pick them up at Rite Aid instead. Do you know if they are part of the Winter Bonus? I just need another $15 to get my last $10 UPR. Yes I shopped like crazy last week and I have $63 in UPR’s lol
They aren’t! I was hoping they were. I had UPR to burn too Maria. Sometimes it makes sense to pay slightly more in order to use UPR / etc.
So the deal looks like this:
Buy (4) 32 Finish $16.58
use (2) $2.15/1 Coupons
Pay $12.28
Get $3.00 UPR
$9.28 for 128 Tablets or $.07 per tab
So the coupon has a limit of 2 per shopping trip.
CVS
Buy (2) Finish Tablets $7.98
use (2) $2.15/1 Coupons
$3.68after coupons or $.09 per tab
Now, if you can do this 4 trips (need 8 coupons and must do 4 trips because of coupon restrictions) you can pay $14.72
and get back $10.00 Cash Card.
Wow your so much faster with the break downs. I was just writing mine up and trying to figure out the best scenario for me. I have 5 coupons so I might get 4 from Rite Aid (using 2 coupons ) and get the other 3 at CVS unless we can do the Rite Aid deal twice.
BTW I received my CVS gift card yesterday. Thanks again
Maria,
LOL I have a masters in accounting. I was a corporate accountanting for a long time.
How do you get the Mitchum coupon? I don’t see it in my smart source or red plum….?
$1/1 Mitchum Item, exp. 2/10/13 (SS 01/06/13 #2)
Smart Source
Where do u find out about the monthly up deals
Walking the stores :)
The store i go to is very bad about putting signage up i never know what they are
