oops, missed one of the receipts… it was actually $2.15 OOP… but that’s still pretty good for over $277 worth of products! I also got 20 entries for the Carnival Sweepstakes… too bad if I enter all those entries, it’ll cost me over $8 bucks just to mail it out. Too bad we can’t just mail them all in together, Rite Aid has to make it harder….
Jasmine says
I went to Rite Aid earlier too.. spent $0.29 OOP (I used a $20 gift cert from Fall Savings and a $10 gift card from another rebate). I’ll get back $16 in SCR + $5 Gift Card. I also got 40 Game of Life Game Tickets. (All I won was 8 additional game tickets… I’m missing one piece out of each of the sets… reminds me of McDonald’s Monopoly, which I also don’t win…) But all this for $277.09 worth of products… not bad for a hour at Rite Aid :)
For those wondering what I bought… I got 14 Nivea Cremes (1oz), 10 Carefree Ultra Protection Liners (16ct), 6 packs of GE Reveal Lightbulbs (4pk), 6 Nivea Lip Care (.35oz), 4 Nivea Lip Care (.17oz), 3 L’Oreal 2-Step Volume Construction Mascara (.4oz), 3 Nivea Body Wash w/Bonus Keychain (16.9oz), 2 Neosporin Overnight Lip Health (.27oz), 2 Stayfree Pads (16ct), 2 Slimquick for Women (7.4oz) and 1 Carmex Lip Balm (.35oz).

I just got back from Rite aid with $112 worth of products for $28 oop and $22 after rebates (that I know of)! I got 4 free nivea lip balms, 4 free packages of stayfree, 2 packages of bandaids for $1.50, 4 packages of carefree for $4, 2 got2b hair products for 3.50, 3 boxes of kleenex for $4.50, maybelline mascara for $0.11 after $3 rebate, 2 l’oreal cleansers for $2.19 each, l’oreal blush for $4.17, revlon lip gloss for $0.99, and listerine for free after $3 rebate. Thats a lot of bang for $22 bucks! Plus I used the $5 off $25 to make it $28. Thanks for your help!!!!
It is kind of a pain with all coupons when there’s impatient people behind you, but its so worth it!
Kelly W says
Thanks Shannon! Another great Rite Aid deal. I took a couple months off, ok so I did run in last month for the $5 money maker on Prell but back to watching Rite Aid again.
Worked perfect. Sometime my prices vary a bit higher but this one was right on except for the Lysol. It was 2 for $5 so I had to pay a whole $3.50. LOL!!!
I love Rite Aid. :)
Michelle says
Humph! My Inquirer (home delivery) had a Red Plum insert, but it didn’t have those.
Christina says
I can’t find the $5/$25 Rite Aid coupon at Redplum.com. Help please…
Shannon says
Christina,
Go directly to http://www.redplum.com
Amy says
Be careful with your return if you have any Single Check Rebates on the receipt. If you enter the receipt before you make the return, the computer will automatically kick your whole order out of the system and you won’t get any of the rebates. I’ve had trouble with the in the past. You can sometimes get your rebates back if you enter the receipt AFTER you do the return (or if you call their customer service), but you should keep an eye on that.

Thanks for letting us know you use the philly inquirier I live in schuylkill county and buy the standard speaker because it is 1.50. I bought 2 philly inquirers at turkey hill but, I made sure they had all the inserts
3 I looked through didn’t. The 2 I bought did have the nivea coupons.
I did your scenerio except I bought dawn det. instead of lightbullbs. I had the $1/1 q and the $1/2
Thanks again
lauren says
I went to giant today and the GE lightbulbs were on sale for $1.00 and i used the $1.00 off coupons…got them free!!
Janel says
I Have the current printables on there, and I have been told you can use the coupons anywhere (not just in “testing markets”)
Janel says
Shannon, didn’t you use the RA Wellness Coupon for 1.00/1 oral care product? Do you use the wellness coupons?
Shannon says
We are not a wellness area and our store won’t take them without the card :(
Janel says
I bought the Philadelphia and it has the nieva BOGO in it!
Brandi says
Great job! I followed your scenario almost exactly and was out the door for $9! I picked up a few of the clearance L’Oreal makeups from another post, with coupons, which bumped up the total price.
I also bought the Philly Inquirer at Rite Aid, since I get the Reading Eagle at home and that’s where I found the Nivea coupon. I know it’s a regional coupon, but it should have been in all the Philly Inq papers…
Shannon says
Brandi,
I have given up on the Reading Eagle.
I am just getting the Inquirer now.
Michelle says
Which newspaper did you get the Nivea coupons in? I get the Philly Inquirer and the Morning Call, and neither of their Red Plum inserts had the Nivea coupons.
Shannon says
Michelle,
They are in the Inquirer.. :)
Kristen says
Nice work! I didn’t realize the total of two packages of Stayfree or Nivea lip balms would count toward the $25 total to use the $5 off coupon… I was counting just the price of one, since they were BOGO. Good to know for next time!
I have to go back and return my Stayfree, however…. I gave her the BOGO coupon, not realizing until I got home that she didn’t ring it up for some reason. Boo! Has anyone had this happen before? I am guessing I have no choice other than to return it, because I don’t know how they’d go back in their pile and find my coupon.
Shannon says
Kristen,
They both do not count. I only listed the price of 2 when I bought 4.
HTH
Shannon
Shannon says
Kristen,
I would highly suggest you calling the store manager before you return it. I have had that situation and if you get a good manager, they will give you your money back.
It is their fault, not yours.
HTH
Shannon
Candace says
I wish I could get all those great coupons without buying the paper. We never read the newspapers.
Shannon says
Candance,
I bought quite a few copies today – I feel bad just throwing it out. I give them to people who would otherwise pay.
You can buy full inserts on Ebay too.
amy says
Great job! I went today and got the airwicks, stayfree and nivea. I just need the marker 35 game piece (sunkist) to win the giftcard. Wish me luck! We can really use this right now!
Shannon says
Amy,
I am addicted already! What was the airwicks deal? I missed that.
Shannon says
Lisa..
I got it on redplum. You can also use the video values.
Michelle says
I am in So Cal and we did not receive the Stayfree or Nivea Lip Care coupons at all.
Shannon says
Bummer Michelle.
Maybe you could consider purchasing them online if they are worth it to you?
Lisa says
Great job!
Where is the $5/$25 coupon?
Thanks!!!
Raeme says
Where is the Listerine coupon?
Shannon says
Raeme,
That is todays insert as well.
