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.

Kimberlee says
Hmm, I had 3 SS inserts on Sunday (1/6) and no Mitchum coupons. So sad!
Kimberlee says
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…?
maddie says
I signed in to J&J but I don’t see the $5 rebate. Is there another place to print it from?
James M says
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 √
For the Mommas says
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.
Ana G. says
I also came across this problem $2.39 w/ 20% off discunt and did not reach the $15 for the $8 RR.
James M says
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.
Steph says
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!
Maria says
I would love to know too. I’m in Easton and I usually just get the Morning call
James M says
I’m in Pottstown… And the Pottstown Mercury News Paper has the RP and the Nivea coupons.
For the Mommas says
James,
Did the Mercury have the Johnson & Johnson coupons – Listerine, etc?
James M says
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.
Maria says
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
SherrieB says
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. :(
Linda says
The $5 bengay zero degrees coupon also worked on the bengay cold therapy which was only $5.99 on sale
James M says
Linda or Shannon; Does the bengay zero or the bengay cold therapy count towards the 10.00+UP when you buy $30.00 ??
For the Mommas says
Yep :)
James M says
Great, your the best…
Maria says
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.
Alison says
Oh neat!! Thanks for saying something about it because I didn’t know that and I want to get some.
janet says
Too bad my Sunday inserts didn’t include 90% off these GREAT coupons!
Alison says
Same here, was really bummed.
Alison says
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?
chantal says
They usually expire within 2 weeks.
Alison says
That is what I thought…. Thank you!
For the Mommas says
Alison,
Did a post https://forthemommas.com/articles/rite-aid-wellness-program-discount
Alison says
Thank you!!!
Jacqui says
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.
Lauren says
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!
For the Mommas says
Yep, Monthly when you buy $15.00
Lauren says
Excellent! Thanks again!
Holly says
And can you use 2 finish q’s if they are BOGO? I forget. Might still be better at Giant – $1.34 after q?
For the Mommas says
Holly, the Giant was 20 ct right? Or am I mistaken?
Maria says
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
For the Mommas says
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.
Maria says
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
For the Mommas says
Maria,
LOL I have a masters in accounting. I was a corporate accountanting for a long time.
Kimberlee says
How do you get the Mitchum coupon? I don’t see it in my smart source or red plum….?
For the Mommas says
$1/1 Mitchum Item, exp. 2/10/13 (SS 01/06/13 #2)
Smart Source
Anonymous says
Where do u find out about the monthly up deals
For the Mommas says
Walking the stores :)
Nikki says
The store i go to is very bad about putting signage up i never know what they are
