How to coupon at Rite Aid

As you know I like to shop at Rite Aid- as of right now I have bought $346.71 worth of items and only paid $58.46, this year.


Knowing how to shop at Rite Aid is very important to the success of your couponing, so for this weeks Couponing 101 lesson, I am going to tell you everything you need to know about how to shop at Rite Aid.


The First thing you should know about are Single Check Rebates or SCR- I tend to avoid these deals because I think its a lot of extra effort, but I am not stopping you! The Single Check Rebate program is simple- you buy the current Single Check Rebate products, then submit your receipts online then get a check in the mail. You can find out which products are part of that months SCR program by going here.
You can actually use manufacturer coupons to turn these SCR deals into money makers. If the product cost $4 and you are going to get a $4SCR back, and you use a $2 off coupon-you will actually make $2 by buying that product. Once you fill out your information on the SCR site you can request your rebate and be mailed a check-only one per month.




The next part of Rite Aid shopping is using their store coupons. These can be found in the weekly circular that is mailed to you/found in store. Since these are store coupons you can stack them with a manufacturers coupon for super savings.

You can also use their Video Values Program coupons. These are short videos that you watch-advertisements actually. At the end you can print your coupons. These can be stacked with manufacturer coupons for extra savings.


The newest way to save big at Rite Aid is their Wellness+ Program, basically it is a store card where you earn points that will eventually lead to 10% or 20% your total in store purchase for a year! You also automatically get 10% off all Rite Aid Brand products every day. This card also gets you Up+Rewards, which print at the bottom of your receipt, you can then use these like cash on your next purchase.


Be sure to check out the Rite Aid Coupon Policy for all other information you might need.

Couponing Tips and Tricks

Couponing is becoming more and more popular as people start looking for ways to cut their expenses and save more money. They see people on TV getting huge amounts of products for next to nothing!


Them paying next to nothing is not exactly true- they have to pay for the coupons. They have to buy the news paper, or buy mass amounts of a particular coupon, or for the die  hard ones dumpster dive.


Here is my best advice if you want to coupon and have a normal amount of products in your house-nothing extreme. Just buying what you would normally buy only saving a lot of money while doing it. I get one paper every week- that is all you need for a family of 1-3, if you have a larger family maybe 2 papers, but that's all you need trust me! I bought a subscription to my local paper $20 for 20 weeks, which is half the cost of buying the Sunday paper in a store every week.


Another tip is to make a list of all the products that you love or would want to try. If there are products that you do not like- there is no need to buy them even if there is a good sale. It is easy to get carried away. I like one type of toothpaste- it normally costs upwards of $5, I could get 10 tubes of cheaper toothpaste each week for completely free- but I do not see the point. I wait until the brand I like is on sale where I can get it free or next to free then buy 2-3 tubes of it to last me until the next sale.



Be willing to try new stores- I was dead set against using coupons at the drug stores, but now I do and in this year alone this is what I have been able to do:

• CVS I have paid $21.52 for $155.37 worth of products and gotten $36.04 in rewards back
• Rite Aid I have paid $58.46 for $346.71 worth of products and gotten $70.76 in rewards back
• Walgreens I have paid $30.50 for $102.86 worth of products and gotten $7.99 in rewards back

If you every see a coupon for B1G1-save it, drugstores have B1G1 sales all the time and pairing the sale with this coupon will mean 2 products for free!


If you have a B1G1 coupon and a coupon for $1 or some other amount off,  you can use both coupons when purchasing 2 products to save more money. Always check your stores coupon policy to be sure!

Couponing 101

I was just thinking about how I have yet to write a Couponing 101 post.... It is important to know the lingo, that way it is easier to find coupons and know exactly what the deals I post mean.

When coupon match ups are posted it looks something like this

Huggies Diapers $8.99
use $2 off coupon from 4/17SS
Final Cost $6.99

In this case, you need to look at your Smart Source coupon insert from the April 17th paper. In it you will find the coupon.

The other news paper insert abbreviation's are:
SS-Smart Source
RP-Red Plum
GM- General Mills
P&G- Proctor and Gamble

There are also abbreviations for the Rewards you get back at the 3 major Drug stores-
ECB- stands for Extra Care Bucks, which you receive at CVS
RR-stands for Register Rewards, which you receive at Walgreens
Up+- stands for Up+Rewards, which you receive at Rite Aid

All three of these Rewards print off with you receipt, then you can use them like cash the next time you shop at that specific drug store. These Rewards help lower your total out of pocket expense while shopping.

You might see me post a deal like this:

Huggies Diapers $8.99
use $2 off coupon from 4/17SS
Get back $2ECB
Final Cost $4.99 after ECB

This does not mean you are paying $4.99 out of pocket, it means you are paying $6.99 out of pocket, but since you are getting back $2ECB which you can use on your next purchase at the store-it is like paying $4.99.

*Also hold onto your coupon inserts until they expire. Put the date you received them on the front of the pile and you will easily be able to grab it and find the coupon you need.

If you have any questions let me know, I know it can be a little confusing at first :)

Couponing 101: Ways to get coupons

One of my best tips is finding coupons in places other than the Sunday Paper, or Coupons.com. You can find coupons on:

•  Company Facebook websites- companies are always having promotions on their facebook fan pages, they do giveaways as well as release high value coupons. If you do not want to be a fan of all these companies- try making a facebook page with your junk email account- these way you get access to the coupons/giveaways without them cluttering your newsfeed
• I have gotten so many coupons and free products from being a Facebook fan- free hair dye, free shampoo, free razors, free food and more!
• You can also find coupons on the company websites! If you have a specific product in mind go to their website and see what coupons are being offered.
• A few months ago Special K had a B1G1 coupon on their site, combined with a B1G1 sale I was able to get 4 boxes of Special K free- a $20 value!
• If you email companies and tell them what you like or do not like about their product they might send you coupons as a thank you, this is a great way to help a company know how their product is being received as well as helping you save money so you can continue to buy their product.
• I have been doing this a lot recently- as long as I have something valid to say I think it is worth emailing a company-it takes 2minutes and it helps everyone!

Do you have any other ways you get coupons?
