How to Save at Rite Aid

If you are just started out on saving money Rite Aid is a great store to shop at. Rite Aid has several ways to save at their stores. You can save from using coupons, to using their UP Rewards, to watching Video Values, and their monthly rebate offers. I will tell you about those ways in this blog post.

The first items is using coupons. Rite Aid takes manufacturing coupons that you can use on their products in the store. Rite Aid also issues coupons in their ads for use in their stores only. Rite Aid takes both a manufacturing coupon as well as their store coupons on the same product. You will want to match your coupons to the sales in the store to maximize you savings. I would also print out Rite Aid coupon policy and keep a copy of it in your files to take to the store, since some stores do not seem to know their coupon policy.

The second item is using UP Rewards. This is new at Rite Aid so they are still working out the kinks for it. The way it works is if you buy an item that offers an Up Reward it prints out at the bottom of your receipt. Example is say Crest Toothpaste is on sale for $2.99 and when you buy you get a $2.00 UP Rewards. What happens is you pay $2.99 for the toothpaste but at the bottom of your receipt you have a UP Reward for $2.00 that you can use on your next purchase. What you want to do is the next time you are shopping at Rite Aid you use that UP Rewards on your purchases to get your cost down even lower. You can use coupons and other UP Rewards on your purchases to get more UP Rewards, this is calling rolling. This take time to build up but eventually you will have enough UP Rewards to use that with coupons and UP Rewards you are just paying taxes at the register.

The third item is watching Video Values videos at Rite Aid. These are videos that you can watch about products. When you watch these videos you get credits for them as well as coupons. Once you reach 20 credits you get an extra coupon for $4 off of $20. These coupons are usually good for two months, so the coupons you earn in October are good through November. You can combine these coupons with manufacturing coupons as well as the UP Rewards.

The last item is Rite Aid monthly Single Check Rebates. They have select items that if you buy them during the month you can get part of or all of your purchase price back. When you combine the rebate items with sales and coupons you can at times get items for free and occasionally even make money off of the items. You do not have to mail in for these rebates either. You are able to submit your receipts online at Rite Aid's site. Then at the end of the rebate period you request your check. I usually get my check within two weeks of submitting them online.

With all of these tools you can save even more money when you shop at Rite Aid. Just remember it takes a lot of work and time to really start seeing the rewards of these savings, but they are well worth.
