hey DSM,

just a quick follow up on the Rite Aid fun this week -- i had to wait till today to get over the family cold :-(

i scored 4 dove deodorants at $2 apiece, on sale from $3.49. with the $1.50/2 coupon from the last Red Plum insert (i think), it was $1.25 apiece.

i did the cover girl bogo, paying full price on two lipsticks, but scoring a lipstick and some foundation free. (i notice from the rite aid flyer for this week that they've increased to bogo50% ), which brought me up to $21.98 for the make-up and $5 for the deodorants, tipping me over to $26.98. that enabled me to use the $5 off $25 purchase, bringing everything down to $21.98. i forgot to try handing the $5 off $25 over first, but it turned out right in the end.

i'd also wanted to get a couple of boxes of splenda in their $2.99 sale with some $1 coupons i'd bought on ebay -- but those had been mis-represented in the ebay photo, and were actually the high fibre splenda coupons, which rite aid didn't even have. hopefully walgreens will have another sale on that hight fibre splenda soon.

but i'm pretty happy with my deodorant for the rest of the year, for $1.25 apiece, or free if i count that $5 off :-)

thanks so much!

Fran, I'll see if I can figure out how to move it. Thanks for letting me know! Heather, the coupon that's referred to in that deal is from a Sunday insert. You can find an explanation of how to read the abbreviations in this reference guide. You can find it easily next time you need it by just clicking on the Coupons tab at the top of every page.

Hello,
im new to this internet coupon world. Im wondering how to access some of the deals because for example I like this ad (below) but I don't know how to use it because there is no link to a coupon. Do I just print the ad and take it to the store or do I need the coupon itself? thanks!!

DSM, I am brain-dead. The last post is supposed to be for CVS. I'm not that computer savvy-is there a way you can move this to the CVS post? Thanks.

I thought your readers might be interested in this little tidbit. I only had 4 SoyJoy offers to my credit as of yesterday-I believe this offer is good until 2/14/09. Anyway, yesterday my husband had the day off and we went to different CVS stores. I managed to get 1 box at one store- I did ask the manager if I could get the 6 individual bars at $6.00 and could he print the ECB-no, he couldn't do that. Then I went to the next store, I asked the same question as they didn't have any left either. She said, "I can do that". Instead of getting 30 individual bars, I got 2) 12 ct. boxes. (I messed up) She rang them up aat $12.00 each, I gave her 2) $3.00/10 coupons, paid with $14.00 in ECBs, $1.00 in money card= $.00 OOP and I got $24.00 in ECBs. My receipt still shows that I only purchased 5. So even though I shorted myself, I still made out great. My theory is "if you don't ask, you don't get". I'm glad I kept asking.

Sorry about that, Heidi! I meant to link to the post I wrote on it. When you register on RiteAid.com they'll send you a link to print a $5/$25 coupon as well as a number of other Rite Aid brand coupons.

Thanks, Kat! I believe it's off goods before coupons. I would just present it first and then present the rest of your coupons. Let us know how you make out!

Hi DSM,

I love your site :-) You've got me hooked!

Do you know if the Rite Aid $5/$25 coupon is $25 worth of goods (i.e. I can combine with my fistful of other coupons ;-) ) or if it's $25 after all other coupons are deducted? I've got my eye on the Cover Girl BOGO and I'm hoping their 2/$4 Dove Deodorant sale will match up with the 01.24.09 P&G coupons.

Thank you!

Kat

Thanks, Lindy! I know that Rite Aid's policy is to not accept IP coupons, but there are still many that do, so I provide printable coupons for those lucky people. If stores accept competitors' coupons, they will accept the BJ's coupons.

The $3.00 Splenda coupon states to be used at BJ's ONLY. If you use this q at another retailer they will not get reimbursed for the coupon. NO Rite Aids in my area take Internet Printable coupons. I was told this was company policy. However, I do appreciate the time it takes for you to post the great deals and links to coupons. Thank you.
