Made my trip to Rite Aid – I did most of the deals without a hitch. Here are my udpates:
1. The receipts seem to be tracking some of the when you buy $$, get $$ UPR. You can see what it looks like on the bottom of your receipt here.
2. The monthly UPR on the Bumble Bee Tuna is dead, gone, finished. For Sure.
3. There is a new $3.00/1 John Frieda Rite Aid Coupon here.
4. The Soft Scrub double dip is working on select products – be sure to check your end cap for the correct products.
5. The Purex Complete Softener does not count toward the Purex Monthly Deal.
6. The Sinex is not included this time with the Dayquil/Nyquil sale, which is confusing, as it was last time – but it looks like Sinex only comes in 20 ct.
Leave your updates in the comments.

Hey!
Is the pine sol coupon expired? I can’t seen to make it print. I promissed my grandmother some.
Betina says
Hi – i read through the RiteAid 101 but didn’t see this covered – i have a 10% wellness coupon, a $3/$15 coupon, as well as manuf coupons, video value coupons, and UP Rewards. Is there a certain way I need to present these coupons to the cashier to maximize my savings, particularly with the 10% coupon and $3/$15 coupon? Am I allowed to use both of those coupons together? Thanks in advance for any help.
Shannon says
@Betina,
There really isnt any particular order to give them in – just make sure that your UP rewards are more than your total + tax. UP Rewards wont take off for tax.
As far as 10% and 3/15, it is one of those maybes. Depends on the cashier, I have heard yes and no.
Is there any other help I can give you?
Betina says
@Shannon,
No, thanks so much for the advice. I’m still fairly new to shopping at Rite Aid and trying to figure out the ins and outs of their program. Thanks for all you do to educate us!
Sharon says
Did anyone find out about the totals at the bottom of our receipts?
I purchased the wound care items – neosporin & band-aids and got my +ups but I have a total of $1.96 at the bottom of my receipts which is the overage pre-coupon and post $10. (($3.99 * 2 + $1.99 * 2) – $10) = $1.96
I also purchased one of the small tubes of aveeno for $1.14 (3.49 shelf – 10% discount – $2 coupon) but my receipt says $3.14. I’m wondering if I coud stop 5 times and buy 5 costing me $5.70 OOP but totallying $15.70 and get a +up for $5. Any thoughts?
Shannon says
Sharon it is tracking your spending, so hypothetically yes you could.
Robin says
I went to my local store yesterday and when I made it to the check out the cashier informed me that they had a limit of 4 on the cleaners priced 2 for $4. I then asked how you could get the +ups then and she replied “well I guess you can’t “
Robyn says
@Robin,
Everone start reporting the stores and cashiers BY NAME when these issues occur!!! It’s the only way they will learn to stop being so rude to couponers. And, vice versa, if you have a great experience with a cashier that goes above normal good service, call and report this as well.
tina says
yesterday at my Rite Aid I took my up rewards out of the envelope I was carrying them in and while i was paying the cashier actually picked up $16 in up rewards and said “oh these expired yesterday and she ripped them up without even asking me”
So irritated at how rude people can be
Jennifer says
I actually bought some tuna today and the store had the $1 up reward sign with no limit printed. I bought enough to do the $15 food deal. None of the ups printed. I hope customer service will make it right.
Shannon says
@Jennifer,
They cancelled this.
Jennifer says
@Shannon, That’s disappointing. Now I have to take it back. It was a bad trip today already. You know those coupons that they mail you when your ups don’t print? They told me I could only use one at a time, which seems unfair b/c if the ups would have printed correctly this wouldn’t have happened. They decided to give in and take them when I asked if I could do multiple transactions. They said it was because the way they were coded and you could only take one with that code. Just wondered if you have heard of anyone else having trouble with this.
sandra says
@Jennifer, this is not true, they are making it up and tell them you will call corporate because they are not following the appropriate protocol if they do this again. They are to be used just like regular Ups and you are not to be penalized if your ups did not print.
Nicole says
@sandra, Actually I’m pretty certain they state limit one per transaction in the fine print. I’ve read a lot of people complaining about this in the past.
sandra says
@Nicole, If they are the ones that corporate sends you then corporate will tell you that they are to accept them all in one transaction. I do not remember what they say as I do not have one on me. I had the above happen to me and the manager was a pain even after I explained that I should not be punished further for the reward not printing! She said she had never seen them before which is not MY fault!! I called corporate and told them about her. RA needs to get their act together sometimes.
Trish says
I have had the exact same issue with the UPs they mail me because they DO say limit one person customer. The last time I called riteaid about my UPs that didn’t print I told them that it wasn’t fair that their system didn’t print my $10up and I knew they would be sending me $2 or $3 UPs as replacements that said limit one. So what I received in the mail was new UPs that had no limit specified, they had a barcode like their VV.
krissi says
@Jennifer, same thing happened to me. I had the ones that said “limit one per transaction” on them and they would only take one. I called corporate and they apologizes and said that it was a mistake and that the store should have taken them all. they then asked for the store number and said they would notify the store to take them all in one transaction. the next time I was in the same store I had no problem with using more than one at a time. Also, the next time I received UPRs in the mail they looked a little different and not longer had the “one per transaction” statement on them. They said if I had an issue, to tell the cashier that I have talked to corporate and that they are suppose to take more than one at a time. If they still won’t take them, they can call corporate to confirm.
Jennifer says
@krissi, Thanks everyone! I called 1-800-Rite Aid and they are emailing the store to tell them to take them all just like ups. Also, they are sending me the ups for my tuna!!!
Melissa says
BOLO:
Rite Aid has clearanced out a large number of baby and household items. Some items I saw included were Deft spray (50% off), Diaper Genie refills (50% off), select pacifiers (50% off), select sponges and gloves (75% off), and nearly every set of utensils and plasticware in the household aisle. I was able to get Diaper Genie refills for $4.50 each!
Wendy says
I couldn’t find any of the Purex or Visine coupons in todays inserts:( Did I read the matchups wrong or did my insert just not have them? Luckily I had 4 $1/1 Purex and 2 $3/1 Visine.
I started with coupons only and no UPR’s. My total with tax was $177.93, I did 10 transactions and I paid out of pocket with tax $41.46 and left with a $3 UPR. Pretty good, but not as good as I usually do at Rite Aid, because I was rushing toward the end to meet friends for brunch and oh well, you …know what rushing does. I got 2 Mayb Foundation, 1 Mascara and 2 Eye Shadows, 6 bags of Doritos, 2 Chloraseptic Max, 2 Visine Max, 6 Puffs Plus, 2 Halls, 6 Dayquils, 6 Motrin PMs, 6 12 packs Pepsi Prod, 4 Reach floss, 1 Denta Burst Cleaner, 6 pkgs of Dixie PPs, 4 Purex Crystals, 3 boxes bandaids, 1 roll of 1st aid tape, 2 Littles Noses nasal spray and 1 Cella chocolate covered cherry on top:) Still have more deals that I would like to grab from there, but they will have to wait for another day:)
Shannon says
No you didn’t read them wrong, perhaps your particular inserts did not include them
Wendy says
@Shannon, Thanks Shannon
Scarlett says
so the Purex Crystals are not counting towards the Purex/Soft Scrub deal? I wonder why? It doesn’t specify anywhere on what Purex items are included does it?? bummer, I was trying to combine it with the Soft Scrub to get that double dip…….
Rhonda says
I bought Little Noses and I did get the $3.00+UPR if anyone wants to know. I seen it in the sale paper but it makes it sound like you only get the $3.+UPR for little colds or fevers.
angela.w says
@Rhonda,
I got normal Chloraseptic sprays for adults under that same deal using my 11/14 SS $1/1 Q (exp 3/15 – hurry!) and got my $3 +UPR!
Melissa S says
I just noticed that there is a month long deal on Colgate Toothbrushes for $1 and there is a 1/1 in ad Colgate coupon which would make it free!
Amy V. says
@Melissa S, The in-ad coupon is for multi-packs, not the singles. Also the current coupon out for $1/2 excludes the $1 toothbrush…I tried it, not knowing, and it wouldn’t go through.
Melissa S says
@Amy V.,
Thanks Amy for the heads up because I to probably would have tried it and got beeped at because I misread the coupon.
Amy V. says
@Melissa S,
I was so perfectly prepared for this trip too, I was bummed when I hadn’t read the fine print. I love this click and print shopping list!!!!!
TANESHA says
LOVE IT!!! ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO SEE WHAT YOU GET AT RITE AID. SWEET!
Amber says
My RA was out of the Dixie plates and had 4 things left of the Charmin toilet paper. I had to walk all around the store to find the Purex… they had it hidden on an end cap, not on one of the main aisles. And a lot of the deals that are in the ad were not marked in the store. Going to check another RA tomorrow that has been putting limits on things and hope they have what I need.
Krissy says
Thank you for posting about the soft scrub total deal..I went this morning and got everything I wanted except when I went to check out all my coupons covered the cost of the items so I didn’t have to use any UPS but I had $13 worth expiring Tuesday. When I saw that deal idea I thought..perfect! I wasn’t even going to try my local rite aid for the soft scrub figuring they would be gone already but they had about 10! Woohoo I didn’t have to burn my ups although, now I have no excuse to not clean my bathroom.
Melissa says
I bought the same plates as pictured & used the VV coupon. My coupon worked fine. Unfortunately I didn’t even know there was a difference between the regular & the “Ultra”. I didn’t notice any “Ultra” type plates if my store did, indeed, carry them.
Melissa says
I see your plates don’t say ultra does the coupon work on the original Dixie as well?
Shannon says
@Melissa,
You know what I didn’t even notice in store. Whoops. Mistake on my part!
Shannon says
@Melissa,
Ok try that again, yes I did use the coupon.. my bad :( whoops.
Janice K. says
@Shannon, I didn’t notice either and used the coupon, which worked fine.
melissa r says
@Janice K.,
Ok Thanks my stores NEVER has the Dixie Ultra Plates. And my store hasn’t even heard of the Ultra kind. I NEED to stock up on paper plates for the summer!
Sherrie says
@melissa r,
I buy the original all the time. In the 15 Rite Aids in my area I have never seen ultra in any of their stores. The coupon goes right through no problem. I think of it as an error on RA’s part, b/c every vv they’ve ever had for Dixie always says Ultra.
Jeremy says
My store had no issues with the sinex nyquil or dayquil. Used 2 coupons for free items then the free puffs tissues
Shannon says
@Jeremy,
The Sinex in most stores is 20 ct. The coupons are fine to use on the product, they were just not on sale.
Valerie Pereira says
Could you do a break down of this please? And why/what is it tracking?
Shannon says
@Valerie Pereira,
Valerie I linked to all the post explaining..
Rachel says
Shannon, you rock! I LOVE how you do these updates on Sunday as I don’t usually get to Rite Aid before Monday or Tuesday. You take the ‘guesswork’ out of it and I can have a more concrete shopping plan when I go. I tell anyone who’s interested about your site!
coralie says
@Rachel, when recommending sites, i always mention 2. the other one i love highlights the best deals in red, making it so easy to find them when going thru that long list. this one i always mention because i look forward to updates all week–her trips and any “hidden” deals that people find throughout the week!
Feona says
Shannon,
Did you have a hard time finding the Purex Fabric Softner? I went to one and they didn’t even carry it and since they all know me they called around and I found one that had 4. So I bought 3 (leaving 1). I don’t clear shelves (unless it like 1 or 2 left of something) but with the cost of preminum gas ($3.79 here is North Carolina) hey you gotta do what you gotta do! LOL
I saw in you pic you had the larger Dixie plates. Are they part of the $1.97 deal? I bought the smaller plates and bowls. I needed them anyway but may go back and pick up the larger plates.
Shannon says
@Feona,
Acutally the plates are 6 inch plates.
Shannon says
I got the last Purex in store, they only had 6.
Erin says
Did you use the $5 off 3 Dixie Ultra Plates coupon on the regular Dixie plates shown in the picture? Also, did the Tilex printable coupon work for the Tilex shower cleaner pictured?
Shannon says
@Erin,
The Tilex worked fine.
Jessica G says
@Erin, I bought ULTA
Kelli says
what is the deal with the facewash??? I must have missed that.
Shannon says
@Kelli,
You can see it under clean and clear in the matchups.
