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.)
