Rite Aid 7/15-7/21

Quote from mydebtispaid : Are there any pictures of the ad? Im more visual

Since most of the deals are from previous ads you could get out the scissors and do a cut and paste ad for yourself.

It's all written out in the wiki. You can write down the list and take it to the store and get a visual.

Thanks, just seems weird to be able to write out the ad, when it could be more beneficial to the majority and efficient to the one who took the time to write it all up to simply post the ad.
I'll be on the lookout for it. Thanks.

It seems weird to me that you have 2 posts and are asking these questions, if you don't like it go back to where you came from or you contribute the ad. Other than that try being thankful for what has been posted.

We are not especially fond of photographing, editing, and uploading a file that ends up all over the internet with very little credit. Your store should have received the ad in their truck shipment yesterday. Make friends and see if they will share with you.

Yikes...nevermind

More free Gillette Venus/Olay Razors!

$7.99 (Gold) - $4 MFQ (06/17 SS) - $4 UP = Free!!!

Sadly this is what has become with SD more and more lately...

It doesn't really matter...the info in the Wiki got C&P'd within minutes of being put in there so that really isn't a valid reason

I found a brochure in store today that has P&G Olympics on the front and advertises RA deals inside. All were for the current 7-1 week except for the last one. It doesn't show sale prices, but it does indicate that the Olay and Covergirl are included in the buy $30 get $10 +UP reward.Attachment 1348116

Well, for one thing, there are still people on dialup because they live in areas where there's no high-speed available, or because they can't afford it. Trying to open and read a picture file is tedious and sometimes impossible for them. (I was on 24K dialup until about a year ago, when I got satellite.)

Also, I find the text much more useful. I can copy and paste just the deals I want into a text document and print it out to take with me, along with coupon matchups and any notes I make. A picture of the ad is useless for that.

SD is not just about early ad views; it's about finding deals and matchups that aren't obvious from just reading the ad. The fact that the OPs take the time to type up the deals is fantastic, and I for one appreciate all their effort.

Amen. The lack of gratitude around here some days is stunning. I know a lot of people are grateful, and are vocal about it..a lot of people are grateful and are not vocal and choose to just rep or whatever and that's fine, but the very vocal ingrates blow my mind.

To stay on topic..I saw $3 hangtags on Miralax at Walgreens today. I didn't check them out, and it doesn't make anything a stellar deal, but if you need it for something, you might check it out.

So, just got back from my first attempt at extreme couponing. Only bought items that my girlfriend and I actually use.

Looking at the receipt gives the following info:

Subtotal: 51.16
Tax: 4.26
Total 55.40
Your wellness+ savings: 30.45
Total Coupon Savings 16.40
and it spit out $13 in UP rewards

Is that decent?

You spent too much money. I'd suggest you start out with smaller transactions and build up your rewards before attempting a $51 transaction. But now that you have $13 in Ups Rewards you can roll that into more deals.

Quote from akageorge : As SoCalGal said, you can do smaller transactions that yield UPs, then use those UPs on the next transaction. And you'll probably get to where you buy things you don't need because they will make the things you need cheaper or free! But congratulations on plunging in. Welcome to the wonderful world of couponing. (We don't tend to use the term "extreme" around here ...)

That's what I'm hoping . I feel like I didn't do too badly for having my cherry popped. Went well enough that I' m ready to go again. :giggle:

And leave it to me to look like even more of a noob.

Congrats! The bottom line is if it works for you it is a good deal.

I try to keep my total cost to zero after UPs. Ideally I want to be paid to buy things. However, there are certain life essentials ( like Dove chocolates or DH's or the cats' OTC meds) that I usually have to pay something for. With stuff you have to pay for, only you can decide if it is worth it. The key is waiting for a deal and then stockpiling. Anyway, you are off to a good start.

PS Is that a cat in your avitar? It looks cute but we need a bigger pic
