I just returned from Rite Aid to test out a photo frame deal.
Rite Aid has an UPR running that is supposed to be $3.00 UPR wyb $6.00+ Photo Frame.
It is currently printing on frames that are less than $6.00. In addition, there are many items that are clearanced.
Snap Photo Frames & Keychains $1.99 – $3.99
Get $3.00 UPR
Free + overage after UPR
I purchased three and got three UPR.
I am not sure how long this will last, but it is working now. These are great stocking stuffers!
See even more Rite Aid deals here.
esther says
you post says “expired” …does that mean this is no longer producing UPs?
Maggie @ Snag A Bargain says
@Shannon Don’t let anyone get you down. You provide all of us a great service. You work hard finding great deals and helping so many people that have extremely tight budgets be able to provide more for their families! Keep up the great work.
carrie says
Thank you Shannon!
My rite aid’s had these photo books and keychains in the clearance section. They were reduced several times and looked like they’d been there forever. They were .74 each! And the $3 +ups printed for them!! I think Rite Aid was glad to be rid of them and have the space back, they offered to go out back and get more for me lol!
Holly says
I tried the frame deal with the keychain and magnetic ones. It didn’t work. Maybe I didn’t do it right? :(
Slugmama/Denise Arcure says
I went to Rite-Aid around 5pm. Signage on ALL the photo frames about the +Up Reward, even the items under $6.99. I bought 4 items in my transaction and no +Ups printed.
So I called Corp. CS when I got home. I figured I’d either find out that they were honoring the signage or if the store made a goof-up putting them on the under $6.99 items and I wouldn’t be getting my +Ups.
CS said I was entitled to the +Ups and are mailing them out.
If they had said no, I would have been happy to just let them know that this store needed to take down the signs before someone else bought the items expecting +Ups.
Shannon says
@Slugmama/Denise Arcure,
Glad they honored it for you – :)
Anonymous says
@Slugmama/Denise Arcure, Where the signs posted? I went to a different RiteAid and found a huge number of clearanced frames, but no UPRs printed. Maybe I’ll call corporate tomorrow.
Slugmama/Denise Arcure says
@, Hi, yes, all the peg hooks where the less than $6.99 photo frames/covers/etc. were kept had a yellow +Ups tag on the hook, under the price/identifier tag with the Get $3 +Up Rewards….the tiny fine print said on any item $6.99 or over. None of the items in my store were clearanced. Good luck if you call since this will probably be a YMMV situation and depend on which CS person you get on the phone.
sandra says
@Slugmama/Denise Arcure,
ya, thats really good that they honored it, cause the signs do say 6.99. I have had signs misplaced b4 and been sc$$$ed. THey did have them allllllllllll over the section :P

Keep up the good, ethical, helpful, totally non-self-centered and never-grabbing-for-credit-or-attention work and don’t let the haters get you down.

Sorry but I kind of have to agree with Raquel, if RA was okay with this they wouldn’t have pulled it so soon. Also next time give credit where credit is due, I highly doubt you figured this out on your own, we all know where it came from!
Raquel says
I find it simply amazing that you would encourage unethical shopping. Do you teach your children to cheat too? You know damn well that the RA $3 UP is a mistake on their part and yet you advertise for people run out quickly and take advantage of it?
You suck and your blog sucks. I plan on making sure as many people as possible know it too. There are plenty of websites that will post reviews of blogs and I will post on each one that Shannon at ForTheMommas condones stealing and has a lower than low standard when it comes to ethics.
Pretty pathetic Shannon…really.
Shannon says
@Raquel,
Really? That is so funny because I talked to my contact at Rite Aid today about this – he said that they are honoring this deal – it is posted in the store.. So get over it.
Shannon says
@Raquel,
PS Leave a real email address if you want to leave a comment like this, so I can atleast tell you are wrong. I just want you to know that I talk to Rite AId corporate all the time and they are VERY aware of my blog and encourage me to post their deals. I never ever advocate stealing or misuse of coupons — EVER.
However, a price mistake/ UPR mistake whatever it is — is not unethical. In fact, most stores have a policy – if the price is mis marked not only will they give it to you for that price – they will also take money off… so Raquel – get your facts straight. I know you think I would be afraid to publish your comment – not even in the slightest – the people who read this blog will tell you that I am straight up and do not promote anything that is not ethical.
Michele C says
@Shannon,
WOW! First I can’t believe anyone would post such strong words on a blog! I think someone needs some chocolate. Next time send an email to the blog owner.
Why are you reading this site if you think it stinks?
I am just stunned to see this post. Shannon is one of the most ethical bloggers I have followed. I can not say the same for one of her competitors who encourages the use of overage to purchase other items. (overage is against RA’s policy. BTW)
Michelle says
Shannon – I have been reading your blog for over two years now and have never posted a comment because I am in Oregon and I regularly comment on a local coupon blog here. However I felt it necessary to support you in your response to Raquel. I have never felt that you post anything unethical or illegal. You have a friendly blogger personality and appear from all my reading to be an honest woman. It also shows your confidence in not deleting her post, but letting us see it. Way to go, I support you 100%. Thanks for all you do!!!
erica says
@Michelle,
Funny you say she has confidence because she just deleted my post hmmm
Amber says
@Shannon, Shannon, I agree with you. In Michigan, we have the consumer protection law that states if a store mislabels a price the consumer is entitled to it, even if it was a mistake.
Amber says
@Amber, Also, ALL of the frames were labelled for the UPR. Keep up the good work Shannon. I read your blog religiously and I always feel like an addict when a new deal like this one comes out. THANKS!!
lynn says
@Raquel, Shannon does not post unethical deals. She always checks and makes sure the validity of an offer or coupon and does not promote fraudulent behavior. Where others may post use of a coupon on a trial size to get something else for free – when that was not the intended use of a coupon, Shannon does not. Rite Aid knows of the error and can choose to correct it if they want.
Beatrice says
Rite Aid must be loving all the publicity they are getting here!..
Beatrice says
Raquel,
I have been reading and following Shannon’s blog since she started. Shannon is in no way unethical in any shape or form. She is honest and forthcoming about all deals. If she contacted Rite aid and said they will honor this, then how is that cheating? I guess you don’t understand how businesses work, If Rite aid did not want the public to continue to receive the up rewards, they would just shut it down. Simple as that! Rite aid watches these blogs on a continuous basis, if Shannon’s blog was causing an issue with Rite aid, they would have shut her down…. So, why don’t you call a Rite aid rep yourself and get the facts lady!!!! Haven’t you ever gone to the store and something is marked for a lessor price and the store has honored the lower price? And if you don’t like her blog, don’t visit anymore!!! Shannon’s site Rocks!!!!!!
erica says
@Raquel,
100% righ raquel, RA must not have thought it was okay or they wouldn’t have pulled it! She doesn’t like me agreeing with you or that she didn’t find this deal on her own so my posts keep getting deleted lmao!!!
Beatrice says
You’re posts are getting deleted. I can read them!!!
Beatrice says
You posts are not getting deleted. We can all read them!!!
Anonymous says
@Raquel, The riteaid by me had the signs on all of the frames even if they were only 1.49 and they honored it. They are all marked and if you don’t care for her blog that helps so many of us keep food on the table in these hard times than don’t read it. Shannon is doing us all a huge favor by having this site!
Mouni B says
@Raquel, Your comment was so rude and uncalled for! We should be thankful that there are people willing to take their time to help other people save money. How is Shannon encouraging people to steal? Are you even familiar with Rite Aid up rewards program? Judging from your diatriabe, I doubt You are. We get free stuff and money makers from Rite all the time and Rite Aid knows that and advertises it. They’re the ones who create these kinds of deals with the manufacturers. The picture frames deal was probably a pricing mistake but Shanon as well as other blogers were probably not aware it was a glitch. Thank you, Shanon for all your efforts and keep up the good work.
sandra says
It seems to be working on any frame in that section regardless of price. No limit reached yet!
Pam B says
Woohoo still working at 3:15pm…bought 7 diff. frames @1.49ea and got 7 – $3 up rewards
Amber says
Just got back. I didn’t see any keychain ones but there were several types for under 1.99. I bought seven magnetic frames for 1.49 (1.39 w/ my 10%) and got back 7 UPRs. I’m headed to another store now!!
Jessica G says
Just went @ lunch – the planters deal is still working + the mystery $5. Bought nuts, sinex and picture frames – once I saw the $3 was printing for every frame – I made them tie my bag and rolled all my ups and went back to get the olay lotions, body wash deal (for the rebate and scr) and more picture frames.
I made out like a bandit!
Grace G says
Where are these located in the store ? TIA
leslie says
Just another reason to drive in the snow…Rite Aid or bust! Gotta love the money we save/make there!
Michele C says
Wow Word spreads fast! I got the last two key chains medium size. They had some minis and flash light ones. The flash light ones are $3.99. I forget the minis but it was under $3.
Michele C says
@Michele C,
The size I got was 1.75×2.75 reg price $1.99/$1.59 with 20%
Amber says
This is just what I need after losing my card wallet which had all my UPR, ECB, and WAGS. I’m still crying over that one. I had about 60 bucks worth of rewards in there…..
Becky Barley says
Did you buy them in one transaction? I guess what I’m asking is if I need to have atleast $6.00 worth in one transaction? Thanks
Lauren M says
great these will be perfect in the stockings i made for a women’s shelter family!!!
sherrie says
Oh good grief, here we go again – something else that I will need to run to Rite Aid for!! :D I LOVE the photo pocket frames – I use them to put Christmas cards and other pictures that are sent year round; I keep them on my fridge to remind me to pray for friends and family. Thanks for sharing this!
Shannon says
@sherrie,
I cracked up reading this.. Darn it rite aid.. knock it off! Messing up my schedule!
sherrie says
@Shannon,
I dont normally go until Saturday – so the early deals ARE messing up my schedule!! :D Finding the free nuts was a tremendous blessing and now seeing the frames – I like to jump on things that arent normally for sale/free – especially when I use them, lol!!
Shannon says
@sherrie,
LOLLL Sherrie. I know the feeling.
lynn @ Maven of Savin says
NICE!!!
