Like shopping at CVS, the best way to take advantage of the really great deals each week at Rite Aid is to “roll” you +UP Rewards and split your savings into a few separate transactions. Be sure to remember that those +UP Rewards from your first trip won’t be added to your second trip until the following day at 6AM, so if you live a little further from Rite Aid you may want to bundle your deals all into one trip a week! Here’s what a Rite Aid shopping scenario should look like:

(Note, this is not an actual scenario for a current sale ~ you can find the current deals this week at Rite Aid HERE.)

Transaction #1

Buy 1 Dove Bar Soap 6 pack $7

Buy 1 Dove Advanced Care Deodorant $5, Earn $3 in +UPs when you buy 2 Dove Deodorant Products

Buy 1 Bic Soleil Razor $5.99, Earn $2 in +UPs when you buy 1 Bic Razor

Total before coupons and +UP Rewards = $17.99

Use $2.25/1 Dove Bar Soap coupon
Use $2/1 Dove Deodorant coupon
Also use $1 off Dove Rite Aid Video Values coupon
And use $3/1 Bic Soleil Razor coupon
And use $1/1 Bic Soleil Video Value coupon
Pay $8.74 out of pocket,
Get back $5 in +UP Rewards to use towards your next purchase

Transaction #2

Buy 1 Bausch & Lomb Dry Eye product $9.99, Earn $2 +UPs when you buy 1 Bausch & Lomb product

Total before coupons and +UP Rewards = $9.99

Use $4/1 Bausch & Lomb Dry Eye coupon
Use $5 in +UP Rewards from Transaction #1
Pay $.99 out of pocket
Get back $2 in +UPs to use towards your next purchase

Transaction #3

Buy 1 Skinny Cow Candy $3.79

Buy 1 Trident Gum $.79

Total before coupons and +UP Rewards = $4.58

Use $1/1 Skinny Cow manufacturer coupon
And use $1/1 Skinny Cow Rite Aid Video Value coupon
And use $.25/1 Trident Gum Rite Aid coupon
And use $2 in +UP Rewards from Transaction #2
Pay $.33 out of pocket

In this scenario you would spend $10.07 our of pocket for $32.56 in products, a savings of 70%!

See how Shannon spent just over $4 for everything in the picture above in this week’s ad at Rite Aid – definitely stock up prices!
