RETIRED ***chat*** Rite Aid Chat Thread

So I'm late to the discussion: does Nipsy want the QRs in the wiki? If not, why are they still there? I'll delete them right now if she doesn't want them in there...

I deleted them. They are regional and too YMMV to be posted in the wiki.

ETA: Kept reading and realized I might have done something more than I bargained for. Oh well, what's done is done. I wasn't involved to begin with and I guess I should have kept my nose out of it but the OP didn't want them there. They are too YMMV and you shouldn't post something too regional in the wiki. :shrug: guess I'll see what happens next. Where's the popcorn?

Uh oh. My card had the dreaded no qrs coming off tonight at 9:45pm. Did a run earlier today that was successful.

Edit: Oh I see--my qs are valid starting from 4/16 as well. I loaded them this evening on 4/15 but Pacific time and it was already 4/16 on the east coast. Weird glitch. Now know have to reload qs earlier to work for late night runs.

Check weekly thread one other user giving a logic behind it
Not to add close to end of the day as system is tracking with the next day...if u have added after 9 pm it may show validity starting tomorrow in the load site and ur local time you still haven't completed the day ! Cool integration testing going on !

Thanks--just saw that too. You know they had this issue way back in the day of ups for the week had to be done before 9pm Sat here on the west coast or they would not print, but they fixed that issue pretty quick but I don't think this is an issue they are going to work on. Ha ha ha

Will have to catch up later. Got home 4 hours ago and just now finished all my putting away and chores and stuff. Headed for the shower, then bed.

What a nice weekend I had, though!

Wasn't sure where to post,but in yesterday's Parade was a $3 RoC MQ that advertises CVS, but I think it's an MQ, as opposed to a CVSQ.

I picked up 4 papers at the same RA and 2 papers had the coupon and the other 2 had an advertisement for cigarettes, so ymmv, but it looks like a 50/50 chance. Since it's advertising CVS maybe we have an upcoming deal.

The manufacturers sure are getting tricky with their coupons. All 4 at the same store!

I added qrs at 7pm just before checking out and none of my qrs came off. I checked online my coupons say valid 4/15-4/18 so there goes your theory. I was able to use qrs 3 hours earlier

Good morning to whoever shows up first. I really need some sleep. I have not recovered from my Wagging. It's funny because I'm normally awake, but not interacting with people in person at those hours. I don't think I'd had a trip like that since Estroven. Mom & I had a good time and I'm glad we went, but I'm wiped out.

Have a great day everyone.

How about this one - my Sunday paper had 3 Parades in one copy - stuffer mistake - and only one had the ROC coupon. I do believe it's an MQ as well, as opposed to a CVS Q. Weird.

Remember everyone also to pick up lots of CVS ads because there are mq's and CVS q's in the small pull out section. The CVS NM q is good until 2013! I should just shut this darn computer off, but if I would have done that yesterday morning I might have missed the RAQ BR.

I wish I would have had a stuffer mistake and had multiple double SS's. At $2 a paper without a discount, even with play money, it stings. My RP's are direct mail, so sometimes $2 is just for one SS!

Goooooooooooooooood morning, RA peeps!

It's a beautiful day in southern Maine. Supposed to hit the low 80s today. Trying to figure out when I can fit in another RA run with the kids home on vacation.

Is there any other store that has so many glitches???? Really, RA, please get it together. I love some of my RA associates and mgrs, but some of this stuff is ridiculous.

That's awesome!

I get papers from my local gas station each week (sometimes only one, but hey, they're free) and I've always seen this. I just figured it was a way to lower marketing costs for advertisers.

Get some good sleep, SSG. Wagging... good for you.... where's that shuddering smilie? I just can't do Wags. Fortunately for me the closest one is 40 minutes away so I'm not tempted; it's all I can handle to manage RA these days.

And I don't even do that very well sometimes. Last night I did 4 transactions. In the last one, I completely blew it and bought 4 Maybelline. I had intended to put the FitMe foundation back, but forgot to. Didn't even use the Q for it! Man, a Maybelline transaction that cost me money! Oh, well, Maybelline has been good to me so no big deal.

Thanks for the heads-up. I haven't even looked at CVS this week yet.

Kids are calling, will check in later!

Quote from vrmontstr : I agree. We picked up a mandolin (or a slicer/dicer as I call it) at Goodwill, just a cheapie but it still worked well. We picked up a Pampered Chef one that I just passed on to my stepdaughter (which had a really good cheese grater) because DH bought an expensive KitchenAid one. He is the one who usually uses it but other than the adjustable thickness on the new one, I don't know that it's really much better than the cheapie. We tried an Oxo but DH didn't feel it julienned carrots as well as he wanted (while keeping all his fingertips). Another unsolicited suggestion is a microplane grater.

I love Microplanes too. I picked up a standard flat one for zesting years ago, then my BFs mom saw me use it and bought me two more - the spice grater and the bigger cheese grater. I think the spice one is kind of unnecessary though. I'd recommend the flat one that's about an inch wide as a good multipurpose Microplane.

Any reports from the field from this morning? I am thinking of going later this morning so I guess I will report back.

Quote from kgerv : Not S&S (the only one in Maine closed a couple of years ago. The marinade packages are on sale for $1.00 at Shaw's. DH loves these and I'm out.

:Thanks: so much

Maybe they now only allow QRs to come off once per day

Is it this week? Have not even looked at CVS yet

I was thinking the same thing
