Rite-Aid Scenarios

Rite-Aid has some good deals this week to get you started on your +UP Rewards. Here are three possible scenarios. You can see more match-ups at This Beautiful Frugal Life.

Scenario #1

This scenario requires you to have multiple coupons from previous Sunday papers. I realize that most of you probably won't have the coupons for this scenario, but I wanted to show you why you want to hang onto all your coupons from week to week and get multiple inserts, if possible.

Dove invisible solid deodorant $2
Receive $2 +UP Rewards when you buy 2

Buy 2
Use (2) $2/1 Dove deodorant coupon from 1/30 Red Plum insert

Pay = $0.00

Scenario #2

This scenario involves printable coupons stacked with Rite-Aid video value coupons. The video values coupons are coupons you receive by watching short ads on the Rite-Aid website. It is really easy to sign up and use these coupons.

Scenario #3

This is my personal scenario for my Rite-Aid shopping trip this week.

Colgate Total or Colgate Sensitive toothpaste $3.50
Receive $3.50 +UP Rewards (limit 2 rewards per household)

Buy 2
Use (1) $1/1 Colgate Total coupon from 1/9 SmartSource insert
and
Use (1) $1/1 Colgate Sensitive coupon from 2/6 SmartSource insert

I currently have $19 in +UP Rewards, so I will use $9 and get $9 in +UP Rewards back. My only out of pocket cost will be tax.
