So the Rite Aid I typically go to now knows me and they tend to believe me when I tell them things like, "yes, you can use a bogo coupon on a bogo 1/2 off". If in doubt they refer to the coupon policy that I gave them. The other one about 3 blocks from the first, not so much. I have to fight with them (in a nice way, usually) constantly. So much so, I almost dread stepping in the store. In any case between the two stores I was able to get everything I needed.

$Zero, I paid with a gift card I got from the heart health rebate ($13.95 to the SCR)
Total for all 3 transactions= $15.58! and I qualify for the $25.00 J&J rebate for a money maker of $9.42! Plus I'll submit for the $6.99 Renpure try me free rebate (on a hang tag around the bottle), making this deal a $16.41 moneymaker!! Plus I'll auction the KY off on e-bay hopefully for $10 bucks or so.
Note: Transaction 3 would have cost $5.50 if I hadn't paid with a gift card, making the OOP $21.08, still a $3.92 money maker (even if you never bothered to submit for the Renpure)!
Are the $5/$20 vid values coupons not limited to 1 per person? I thought they were only meant to be used once.
ReplyDeleteThey are only supposed to be used once. Technically it is coupon fraud to print them more than once at the beginning, but I use two accounts and shop at Rite Aid twice a month. I consider it using one for my boyfriend and one for me, since he would never shop there anyway, so I'm not robbing him of anything, but I'm also not robbing the store of anything, because I'm bringing them more profit too.
ReplyDeleteAnon and Crystal Brothers, you are technically only allowed to print one per person (although Rite Aid doesn't limit the number you can print, or the number of accounts you can sign up for).
ReplyDeleteI spoke with my local manager about this (because I was watching videos for myself and my grandma and mom and it was getting a little tedious) and he said he has no problem with me using as many as I'd like (one per transaction, which is his interpretation of the rule).
He said with all the computer technology available,corporate would limit the number you can print if the truly meant limit one per person. Also, Rite aid almost always has $5 off $25 printables and those aren't limited to one per person (just depends on the number of computers you have). He also lets me use several RA coupons clipped out of the weekly flier (which also say one per person). I guess it's a YMMV situation.
