Here are the updates for this week so far. I am unable to shop Rite Aid this week, so I am relying on you to tell me whats going on. So here is what I have deduced from emails and comments:
1. Check your ad before you go to purchase anything! Some items are not in various ads and there is no real way for you to tell unless you check your ad first. Remember, if its not in your ad, the UPRs probably won’t print.
2. Sounds like the pasta UPRs are hit or miss. It looks like the traditional variety is NOT producing an UPR and the garlic is producing an UPR.
3. The Special K deal is wonky too. Some people are getting (2) when they buy 4 and some people are getting (4) when they buy 4. What flavors are producing what UPR is a mystery to me at the moment.. any input is appreciated.
4. The $6.00/2 insert coupon for the Motrin is beeping, but it should be pushed through. (Thanks, Lisa)
5. I have heard from 6 of you that absolutely NO UPR printed at Rite Aid, even though you were supposed to get them. Call customer service. They will mail them to you. Do not just let it go!
So remember, I cannot shop at Rite Aid this week, so I am relying on all of you! Leave any updates in the comments.
See all of this week’s Rite Aid deals here.

Getting really frustrated with my RA. The stock is horrible, and it’s not even just 1 of them, it’s all 3 in our area. The cashiers call for the manager (who follows me around the store) they analyze EVERY coupon and yesterday, the BOGO Special K, they would only authorize 1/2 of whatever 1 box cost. I never argue with them, i’m never rude, don’t clear the shelves (i’m lucky if there is even stock) and yesterday, they asked if I was like the hoarder on that coupon show. I honestly buy very little, but I do not usually have to pay for what I do buy.
lindsayR says
@mandy b,
That’s horrible!! None of that is appropriate behavior!! The BOGO sale and BOGO coupon scenario is clearly outlined in their corporate policy. You should definitely contact customer service.
Jamela says
Hi Everyone! Just read the 24 Ups limit printed in one transaction…I went out Sunday and shopped at Rite Aid and I had no problem and got $35 Ups back here in PA….it was suppose to be $45 Ups but my $10 Ups didn’t print because I was short of 30 cents in my Aveeno deal because of my 20% off…hope this info helps…..I’m thinking they changed the rules?but anyways thanks for the heads up! :)
Shannon says
Jamela,
Not $24.00 – like 24 individual UPR.. the dollar amount doesnt matter.
leslie says
I don’t know where to ask this question, but I’m new to the Philips SOnicare. I notice new brush heads are pricey. Should I use my $20 Rite Aid rebate money on new heads or buy them with a coupon at walmart for $25??
Grace G says
If you register your toothbrush onliine ( I am assuming you got one) then, in 24 hrs you will receive an e-mail with a mail in rebate offer for your toothbrush heads valued up to $19.99. WOOT WOOT! You just have to buy the multipack –anywhere. My sister in law told me that after she registered hers. Hope that helps and saves you some money :)
Laura says
Just got back from Riteaid and the Hormel Compleats are only printing one UP+. Cahsier said that they had been printing 2 but they fixed it because they would be free then. (This was in Central PA)
Grace G says
Bummer. I got a few of them after finding the coupons for $1/2 at my local Giant. I actually like them for a quick meal and was thinking about picking up more for the food bank.
shawn says
none of the ups+ printed for my second transaction this morning. should have gotten 21. called riteaid customer service # and they are mailing all of them to me. well worth the trip even if they didnt print at the register. (just a note make sure to check behind the front sale sticker for additional month long ups+. all the but the oatmeal had both a weekly and a month long ups+).
bought:
4 special k (2 berry, 2 original)
5 hormel completes
4 barilla pasta
2 quaker oatmeal
Kristina says
Ok, so I had to stop at a couple of different Rite Aids today to try to get the Motrin PM and soup deals. I bought 4 select harvest chicken & egg noodle (not whole grain) and only got $1 UPR. I thought these were producing the $1 UPR for each also. What’s everyone else’s experience?
Liv says
@R Bolla, LOL The pasta at my stores had “Buy 4 for $5.00, get 1.00 UPR wyb 4” tag. Directly under that tag is the “Get 1.00 UPR wyb this item” tag. So it’s definitely legit – the $0.00 pasta is not a fluke. Btw, I left more than half of the pasta on the shelf.
Angel says
Does anyone know if the Velveeta Mac and Cheese is giving out the extra $1 UP?
Rose says
@Angel, no, here’re the lists
Barilla pasta

Laura F says
I bought 7 Velveetas and got 14 $1 UPR. :)
Nikki says
I just got back from Rite Aid and the Dinty Moore Hormel is not producing the extra $1+up it is only producing one. The +ups produced expire on 2/5/11. I’m not sure if the other Hormel products are canceled too. Should I contact customer service?
Rose says
@Nikki, I got the same problem. Not sure if I should call the CS either.
Kristina says
I can’t thank you enough for posting all of these deals. I hadn’t done Rite Aid in so long and I’m glad I did again! I’ve bought over $100 worth of food & drug care stuff in the past 4 days for about $10 out of pocket. AND, the best part is I was able to get a Pillow Pet for my daughter for only $2.50 last night! It would have been free if they would have had another Motrin PM, or some soup, or if I would have had the Dec VV coupon, but still! I’m thrilled! And I still have $5 UPR what that transaction to get some more great stuff this week.
As for the UPR, here’s what I got for the questionable ones…
I bought 4 boxes of Special K (2 reg, one cinnamon, one vanilla) all 4 produced $1 UPR
Yesterday I did
the Hormel and got $2 UPR for each one (moneymaker with my coupons)
4 Barilla pasta Elbow macaroni = $5 UPR
Also, I noticed my RA had a display of the Stayfree with $0.50 peelies on them so be on the look out for that!
Nicole says
After reading the posts with everyone’s experience with the +UP limits per transaction, I am starting to wonder if it is actually a daily limit? Even people who did small separate transactions came up missing +UPs. I’ll have to keep this in mind for future reference…
Corrina H. says
@Nicole, I did several smaller transactions today and everything went fine.
Laura F says
Shannon, have I mentioned you pretty much ROCK!?
Thanks for all of the awesome deals that you pass on to us! I took a month hiatus from couponing (just too busy to even clip with the holiday hustle and bustle – boohoo). Now I am back at it in full swing and oh, how I missed it! Thanks for revolutionizing the way I shop! Thanks to you, I had a stockpile of things for the month I didn’t coupon, so I still didn’t have to go and splurge on lots of items. So thank you for putting your time, effort, energy, and heart into helping us out! It really makes a HUGE difference in our spending! <3
CANDICE says
I NOTICE PPL ARE BUYING 4 BOXES OF THE FLAVORED TYPE SPECIAL K…. THE COUPON READS BUY ANY SPECIAL K GET A BOX OF ORIGINAL OR OATS AND HONEY FREE…. LETS USE IT RIGHT SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO GET GREAT DEALS
Kristina says
@CANDICE,
I think a lot of people are doing what I did. One flavor and then the free one the regular. So when I bought 4 I had 2 different flavored ones and 2 regular ones.
Grace G says
me too
Liv says
@Molly, LOL! I left over 36 boxes for you (mostly whole wheat and regular spaghetti and elbows)!! You should see this RA in my area. It’s cavernous. They sell shoes, clothes (you could actually buy an entire change of clothing here – socks, undies, pants, shirts, jackets!), patio furniture, fishing gear, beach/pool stuff like inflatable pools & beach towels, nursery/gardening etc. They are well-stocked, but it’s about 25 minutes away. I go here if I have a big RA shopping list. :)
Caitlin says
All of my internet coupons were declined last week at rite-aid. According to the manager, this is as per new Rite-Aid corporate policy, but I couldn’t find anything on the website indicating a change. I have not received a response from HQ to my email. Does anyone know what is going on with this? I’m really mad about not being able to get the Special K deal; its a staple in my house!
Shannon says
You might want to call them, Caitlin. There’s been no change.
CANDICE says
might try the chat option
Molly says
Salisbury, MD
The pasta is producing an extra $1 UPR, but the shelfs were basically empty when I got there, I snagged the last 3 boxes. FREE!
The Special K is producting the extra $1 UPR – I purchased the Red Berries variety – $1 MM!
Samantha C says
I stopped in at Rite Aid today. They were out of Pistachio’s, Cereal, pasta, ob and didn’t have their Valentine’s stock out yet. I asked the manager about whether people had been buying large #’s of items and she told me absolutely not that she wouldn’t allow it. “We are not a grocery store and don’t carry stock like that” I guess that was pretty obvious given the empty shelves. Guess I’ll be trying another Rite Aid.
Ada says
bought 2 boxes of fruit and yogurt, 2 boxes of chocolate delight and 2 boxes of special K and got 6 UPRs.
bree says
does anyone know if the Quaker Oats have and extra $1.00 +Up attached?
Vanessa says
@bree, I only got the $2.00 +UPR wyb 2.
Rose says
@Vanessa, no
bree says
HI
I just did a deal but I had quite a few, and I got 2 extra $1.00 Extra +Ups
It’s either for the Kelloggs cereal bars (BOGO at $3.79 used $1.00 off 2 from 1/2 inserts) OR from the quaker Oatmeal 2 for $5.00 (used 1/1 from 1/2 inserts)
I did get the $2.00 + up for oatmeal, I’m not sure what the extra $1.00 are for.. any one have any input? I’d love to know!
Molly says
@bree,
I didn’t get any $1 UPR on the Quaker Oatmeal – just the advertised $2 UPR. Still a good deal.
bree says
@Molly,
cool then the extra +ups must be from the cereal bars! That’s a pretty awesome deal then
I’ll have to go back and grab some more free special k bars! Thanks!
Brenda says
@bree, mmm… I bought 2 boxes of oatmeal and two boxes of the special k cereal bars and only received the $2 up for the oatmeal.
Kristin says
Shannon,
I didn’t get the monthly Ups+ for the Cambell’s Chunky Soup or the Hunt’s Pasta Sauce. Should I call R.A. about this? I didn’t see any signage so I’m not sure how to approach it. Thanks!
Irene says
@Kristin, I was wondering that too for the Hunts Pasta sauce because I didn’t get any extra either. I only got the $1 for the 4 that I bought.
Liv says
I tried to buy 36 Barilla pasta this morning, and no UPR printed. The manager gave me $45 cash after calling corporate. (She originally wanted to give me nothing because I bought pasta earlier that morning and she said there must be a limit. Then she offered $9 because she hadn’t heard of the $1 UPR per selected food item. (No, I didn’t clear the shelves. :) They still had lots of pasta left, even when I went back to buy Hunts sauce around 8p tonight.)
I bought penne, elbows and spaghetti pastas at a different Rite Aid and received $1 UPR on each, plus $1 UPR wyb 4. = Free :)
No $1 UPR for Hunts Diced Tomatoes or Hunts Traditional Sauce.
(2) Special K Original 4.79
(2) Special K Cinnamon Pecan 4.79
Used 2 BOGO Free – 8.98
Paid .60
Received 6 UPRs :) Hth!
Thanks for all you do!
Molly says
@Liv,
THAT’s why there was none left when I got there. ;)
Amber says
@Liv, 36???!!!!
R Bolla says
@Liv, 36 packs of Pasta? You have got to be kidding me. This type of transaction is bound to set off a corporate red flag, and who knows what sort of repercussions might result. Let’s please try not to ruin things for everyone.
jesandjim says
@R Bolla,
I AGREE!!!
Grace G says
36? Come on…leave some for other people to get a deal. Don’t be one of those “EXTREME” Couponers and give us couponers a bad name…please.
****Unless you preorder****
smdelay says
The UPR for the Harvard erasers and pencils should still be working but they’re not. The signs are still up even after I told them about it last Thursday. Today is Sunday and the signs were still there and they would not honor them. I told them I didn’t want them then and they reimbursed me the whole .99 and I only paid .89.
They didn’t care.
Tracy says
@smdelay, I chatted with customer service online today because my store still had the signs posted when I bought mine and the manager told me to call CS to get my UPR as printed on the signs. They only sent me $2 for every 2 purchased even though the sign said $2 for every item. Then I was sent over to corporate and they said they sent an email to the stores to pull the signs the first day of the sale. I told them I bought it the second day of the sale and my store still had the tags up. I was told I wouldn’t be getting the UPR as posted on the tag. I was told I could submit a formal complaint.
Anna says
maybe i missed something, but Shannon- why can’t you shop at Rite Aid this week?
Shannon says
No worries! It’s just going to be one of those weeks!
Amy says
I bought 2 Oberto jerky and 4 cans of Campbell’s Chunky Healthy Request, and I got 4 $1 UPR (1 snacks, 2 snack food, 1 food items).
CANDICE says
i got 6 special k cereals 4 satyfrees and a pack of luvs…. paid only 1.66 i used 3 bogos on the special k 2 stayfree bogos and a fifty cent peelie and 2 dollar off luvs as well as my resolution reward and recieved 12 up rewards
angela says
can anyone tell me if the motrin or stayfree are part of the resolution rewards program?
Corrina H. says
@angela, They’re not on the list
Chrys says
@Corrina H., Where’s the resolution rewards list? Would love to see it!
Corrina H. says
@Chrys, Here’s the link. It’s on the Rite Aid website:
http://content.riteaid.com/resolution-rewards/ShoppingList.pdf
Sherry says
For anyone doing the glade deal just watch the prices. I get 20% off wellness so when I bought 5 of the spary the 20% was a better deal than the 2.50 so it rang them up at 2.39 each and I ended up being short for the $12.00 you needed to get the $4.00 UP Reward. I didn’t realize until I got home.
Does anyone know if I can just go buy one more and get the UP Reward or do I need to just return them all and rebuy them wih one extra. Wasn’t sure if the system kept track of what was already bought like CVS does. Usually I don’t have this problem.
CANDICE says
you will have to return them
Krystal says
I did the same thing a few weeks back, she just returned the things back and I brought another item to qualify for the UPR. No problems with doing that.
smdelay says
@Sherry,
You need to return them all and buy them again with one more.
Jennifer Young says
Can anyone confirm the prices of:
BOGO Softsoap
BOGO Purex 3/1 sheets
BOGO Finesse shampoo
BOGO Finish 20 ct. gelpacks or tabs
Also, does anyone know if the Benefiber “packets” in the ad are the drink mixes?
Thanks!!
Melissa C says
@Jennifer Young, In Rochester, NY, Finish 20ct gelpacks were $6.49. I didn’t buy any of the other stuff. I think i saw the Purex sheets in the past for 8.99, but not sure if they are still that price.
Irene Schooley says
@Jennifer Young, I’m in NEPA and the Purex up here was $7.99 each. I didn’t think that was such a good deal, even with the BOGO.
smdelay says
@Jennifer Young,
The Finnesse was BOGO and I was still able to use 2 1.00 coupons. Also I was able to buy the Bonus size bottles.
Jennifer Young says
@Jennifer Young, Thanks everyone!! An update and answers to my own questions:)
Softsoap 2.69
Purex 3/1 7.99
Finesse 3.99
Finish 6.49
Benefiber plain packets are the 28 ct advertised for 9.99. BUT, all of the Benefiber was marked for the $3 SCR. I like the flavored drink packets, so I got those for 7.49 (used $4 IP and $1 VV).
Tara says
I am so glad you guys figured that out about the limit. I normally always break up into smaller transactions but I had so many UPR I was trying to make it easier on the cashier – so I just did 3 – the first one I did the Johnson/Aveen Deal and got my $10UPR, then I did the deal with the 8 Stayfrees, 2 Tylenol Precise, 2 Motrin, Breathe Right and Blink and got all the UPR then I tried to do the food deals and didn’t get a SINGLE UPR – my manager is super nice and wrote them all out but now that you said that about the 24 that was definitely what it was. I went with my friend later in the afternoon and she did everything in 1 transaction and got none and we had a really awful manager who tried to tell her she already did the deals this month and that’s why it wasn’t printing even though some of them just started this week. He got really nasty with us so I wish the managers would be educated too! Thank you for all your hard work – I super scored at Rite Aid this week!
smdelay says
@Tara,
So does that mean 24 upr’s for the month? I thought it was for one transaction.
sandra says
@smdelay, it is a single transaction and that is approximate, some people have reported getting a few more
TGO says
I am in Seattle – bought 4 of the Barilla spaghetti, and five $1UPs printed.
Sally says
Since you asked! Here’s what I got between 2 different stores this afternoon:
12 Hormel Compleats – all $12 +UPs printed
8 Stayfree – four $2 printed
2 Barilla, 2 Hunts traditional sauce – received $3 +UPS (sauce did not produce monthly $1, but also was not tagged for it like it was at the other store where it was, of course, sold out)
We don’t love the Compleats, but our local food bank and shelters sure do! ;) I’m planning to do some Special K later this week, there was still tons of stock. Stores won’t be selling out tonight anyway as we have an ice storm. :(
Sally says
Oops meant all $24 printed for the 12 Compleats.
Sandra says
So it was the Hunts that didn’t print for me…thank you, I thought it was the Hormel Compleats.
bridgette bouchard says
I encountered the problem of not having a UPR print once. It was the manager who was ringing me up. When he noticed, he rang me up a gift card with UPR on it.

Jennifer says
My Rite Aid Trip…….OK I finally feel like I am sticking it to the man, I went in with $1 in register up rewards and only gave them $2.88 of my hard earned cash! My coupons combined with the new register up rewards and in store sales, made this my best Rite Aid trip thus far. (I’m new)I did do three transactions though. I wore them out today!

Tina Seymour says
sorry you are missing all the amazing RA buys this week Shannon … but sometimes we all need a break from shopping! My husband begged me to just take a week off… maybe next week! This week I “NEEDED” Rite Aid lol
here is what I have got for you so far … I have gotten all the UPS I anticipated.
bought 8 pastas – got $10 in + UPS
bought 10 Motrin PM – got $20 + ups

bought 2 boxes of Speacial K – got $2 + ups
no problems printing or getting the UPS I expected! Smoothe day at Rite Aid today!
Ann says
@Tina Seymour, I had trouble sleeping because I was so excited about Rite Aid today. I had to promise big things so that my hubby would push the second cart loaded with Stayfree!
Kristina says
@Ann,
LOL Ann, too funny!!
Katherine says
Unless Rite Aid has a new coupon policy, I don’t think that they should be pushing the $6/2 coupon through, right?? The policy I have reads “Rite Aid only accepts coupons printed off the internet from manufacturer’s websites, emails and coupon
websites up to a maximum of $5.00 off per item as long as the coupon redemption amount never exceeds.” Tell me if I am wrong.
sherry says
@Katherine, the same $6/2 is in inserts today.
Amber says
@Katherine, I think the coupon she is referring to is the $6/2 in today’s smartsource. This is not an IP so should be ok.
Kelly W says
@Katherine,
I thought the same but used two today and the girl never even questioned it.
Donna Mc. says
“Rite Aid only accepts coupons printed off the internet … up to a maximum of $5.00 off per item ….”
The coupon is $6 off TWO items, not one. :)
Katherine says
I don’t think I got the ones in the paper today, but good point, Donna. $5 off PER ITEM! I’m off to Rite Aid! Woot! Thanks!
candice says
where is that at… i see this on the website….”Rite Aid will accept internet / print at home coupons up to the equivalent value of $5.00 off.”
angela says
Is anyone else having trouble with rite aids site this week? Also does anyone know if the aveeno and things are part of the resolution rewards program?
Irene Schooley says
@angela, I did the Aveeno deal and it was NOT part of the resolution rewards.
Amy Simpson says
In this past weeks sale with the airwick deal i purchased 4 of the compact imotions thinking i would get $9 in UP rewards and only got $3 when I asked i was told they were limiting UP rewards to one per item but no where did it say that then i ask asked did this apply to all items and they said no so how are you suppose to know sounds all crazy to me.
Amy says
@Amy Simpson, I will sometimes buy a different flavor/scent/variety if I’m worried about not getting more than one UPR for the same item. I’ve found that it helps sometimes.
Erin says
I noticed this morning on the actual insert coupon (not the printable) for the $6/2 Motrin PM, Precise, etc. that the Motrin PM shows a 40 count box. It’s the 20 count boxes on sale for $3, so I imagine that’s why it is beeping. I’m sure some stores are pushing it through…mine was out, so I wasn’t able to even try.
NIKKI says
@Erin, Mine beeped also..but my cashier said it was asking for the price, she entered $6.00 and it went through just fine. There was no drama.
Tiffany T says
I went today, I did get 4 $1 for the Kellogg’s but missing some for the Hunt’s…. I think I am missing 3 $1 UPs, but not to worried about it, made out great today! Had a cart full or food and only 0.98 cents OOP, down some UPs but so worth it!!
Irene Schooley says
@Tiffany T, I thought I should’ve received UPs for the Hunts too. I questioned the cashier but she knew nothing of it.
Tiffany T says
@Irene Schooley,
I am not going to worry about it…. I still made out great, if I was missing more like other people I would call but oh well! So many awesome deals all of the time!!
Alison says
I got original Special K and Cinnamon Pecan and all printed the UPR. The traditional Hunts sauce printed 1 UPR, but not the other 4.
Also, the cashier scanned one of my UPR I was using to pay and said it had already been used – I know what happened, the other day the cashier (and I) were not paying close enough attention and my total was $3.15. She scanned a 3 UPR but it wouldn’t take it because 20 cents was tax so the “total” was really less than $3. So now I can’t use my UPR??? That seems totally unfair to me, since I earned it and never got to redeem it. Has anyone had this issue before? Is there anything that can be done??
Lauren M says
@Alison, i have had this happen to me before and just explained it to the cash register. they can do something to push it through manually and they have never had a problem doing it for me before (i think i’ve done it at least twice)
Rose says
@Alison, I had the same problem on Friday and the cashier pushed it through manually.
Lori says
@Alison, I had the same problem. I called Rite Aid and they happily sent me a new coupon.
Stephan says
@Alison,
Hi, exactly the same happened to me with a 5$ UPR, total was 5.40, but the taxes were more than 40 cents. So the cashier gave it back to me since it didn’t work, Next time I tried to use it they said it had been used before and so i couldn’t use it any more. Does anyone know what to do then?
Stephan says
@Stephan, oops, the box with the replies didn’t open ;) Ok, good to know what I can do then!
Molly says
@Alison,
Something similar happened to me today except it was for $15 UPR that I used and then when I returned part of my purchase, didn’t need anymore, but since they had already been rung, were dead. The manager was pretty testy, but I just told her I wasn’t willing to part with $15! I asked for a gift card and they grudgingly gave me one.
melissa says
Can some one tell me what UPR are supposd to print for Special K this week? I bought 4 and did not get any?
2 Reg and 2 Red Berry?
amy says
@melissa,
i bought 4 red beery and it printed
Kara says
I didn’t get any either. I bought 2 reg. and 2 chocolate and no UPRs. It isn’t advertised so I guess you can do anything about it. I only paid a few cents anyway.
Tina says
If anyone is buying the select harvest soup be careful. The whole grain is ringing up $2.63 a can. I didn’t notice until I got home. That isn’t like me. I usually pay attention. The regular select harvest rang up normal.
Karissa Naslund says
@Tina, Happened to me too!
cassie says
@Tina, I had the same problem and didn’t realize it either.
Lisa says
I purchased
12 Stay Frees (I used 6 Bogo and 4 $1 off) and 6-$2 Up rewards printed,
8 boxes of special K (I used 4 Bogo) and 8-$1 rewards printed,
2 Hormel Completes (used $50 RA VV) and 2 $1 Up rewards printed,
2 Tylenol Precise Items (used the $6 off 2, it beeped but Manager put it through) and 2-$3 Up rewards printed
2 Motrin Pm (used the $6 of 2) and 2-$2 Up Rewards Printed,
I bought two other items that also had an UP reward print for a total of $37 in Up Rewards…I wonder why some RA are having problems with an UP Rewards limit. This was my best score yet!
smdelay says
@Lisa, You only named 22 upr’s they said the limit was 24.
Chantel says

Total= 10.05
UPRS= 6 (4 Stayfree, 2 Special K)
Total= 4.05!!! Also, they had almost all Febreeze Noticeables and Refills clearanced to 1.99 or less, I just had no more coupons
Tracy says
Just a question about calling customer service. I called and only got half of what I was supposed to get in the mail. Is it worth calling back?
Thanks!
Shannon says
Definitely!
Jessica G says
@Tracy, I do the “contact customer service” over the web… I’ve had to a few times and they are super helpful and will work to fix it!
Lauren says
I bought 2 Red Berries and 2 Cinnamon Pecan and all my UPR’s printed. Yay! Thanks Shannon!
Misty says
I received 4 $1 +UP Rewards plus the extra $1 +UP Reward for purchasing 4 regular Barilla pastas. I only received the one $1 +UP Reward for purchasing 4 Hunts Tomato Sauce.
deb says
i didn’t have any problem with the $6/2 q however i did not use it on motrin i used it on the precise products ($5 with a $3 upr). my ra also had a few shelves with christmas items on clearance where i found one bag of ghirardelli peppermint bark at 75% off and paired it with a bag of valentine ghirardelli candy and used the $1/2 q for the holiday bags (so those are still good for valentine’s day bags). i also found 3-4packs of slim fast shakes in the clearance section for $1.99 , used my b2g1free q paid $3.98 for all three !
darcie lynch says
went to ride aid today and got 4 boxes of special k and 2 packages of stay free pads all for 2.50 and got 6.00 in up rewards
Angela says
I will be calling customer service for sure in the morning. No +up rewards printed for two of my transactions. I was suppose to get $42 in +ups. :( Also, I can’t return them because I paid the entire balance with +ups.
Shannon says
@Angela,
Angela,
Read my newest post.. looks like the number of UPR is the issue.
Tina says
@Shannon, Angela – there is a limit. I found at the hard way too. My first transaction was great. I decided to get quite a bit of stuff since the monthy ups printed. I got zero ups in this transaction. The store gave me my ups in cash. I am reading the limit is 24 per transaction. I just know small transactions for me anymore.
Angela says
@Tina, That’s great that your store was willing to work with you. My 42 +ups were in two separate transactions at different stores. One was 32 and the other was 10. We will see what happens today I guess.
Erin says
Purchased 4 Barilla Elbows Pasta, 3 Hunts Traditional Pasta Sauce, 1 Hunts Garlic Pasta Sauce, and 4 Special K Low Fat Granola and got 2- “$1 Food Snacks UPR” expiring 2/5/11 and coded 02708 and 8 – “$1 Food Items UPR” expiring 1/29/11 and coded 02886. Unfortunately I did it all in one purchase to utilize a $4/$20 coupon, so I don’t know which ones came from which items.
Thanks for all your helpful information!
sandra says
@Erin, that seems to confirm that there is 1 each for the cereal 5 for the pasta and 1 for the sauce, I believe..
Natasha says
Spic and span products were on 50% clearance at my RA and I still had that coupon – got 4 packs of gloves free! My RA also accepted the BOGO Stayfree and $1/2 for every two that I bought making that a MM and heads up – the new black packaging has fewer per package than the blue. It was a great MM morning at RA, Tylenol Complete, Motrin PM, and Stayfree.
My store manager also let me know that after the resolution rewards or whatever they are calling the Buy and Save thing is over there is another one coming!
Oh and one other random note – is anyone else having problems with http://www.riteaid.com?
Thanks – love your site.
Natasha
angela says
@Natasha,
I’m having issues with the site too. I didn’t get a circular in the paper, and I want to see one. My rite aid is too far away to just pick one up. I like to be ready when I am going there. I also want to know what all is part of the Buy and save this week. Their site has been like this for most of the week… ugh!
angela says
@Natasha,
Are the Motrin pm or stayfree part of the buy and save?
Lori says
I printed the list, Motrin and Stayfree are not part of the resolution prom.
Corrina H. says
@Natasha, I’ve been having problems too. I use Swagbucks toolbar and search for Rite Aid (should work for Google too). Then I pick a link for something other than the main page (pharmacy, single check rebates, etc). That usually works.
D says
I went this morning. Bought 12 boxes of Special K (various flavors…granola, chocolate, cinnamon pecan, vanilla…I think that’s it…) and ALL of them produce a $1 +Up Rwd. (there were red tags hiding UNDER the BOGO sale tags…appeared that all the Kellogg’s cereals had them, and a lot of them were BOGO) Also, b/c I have the 10% disc. when it gave me the credit for the BOGO sale, it credited me $4.79 (instead of the $4.31 I actually was charged) so I ended up with overage. (the coupons he manually put in as $4.31, so it was the register that gave me the $4.79) So have a couple of other things in your cart to absorb that overage if you have the 10% or 20% disc. :)
Meagan says
I got special K red berries, almond, and the original, all produced the $1 UPR. For Barilla Pasta I bought Elbow Macaroni and Spaghetti.
Lauren says
@D,
I found that looking for the red tags was key! There were red tags under the $1 up wyb 4 for Barilla pasta that listed the $1 Up reward wyb 1. The Hunt’s sauce did not have the red tag underneath, so I didn’t buy it because I knew it wouldn’t print the extra Up rewards
Lauren M says
it is possible for uprs not to print because you would receive too many uprs….i believe 25 uprs in one transaction (not dollar amount but actual uprs) is the limit! so you may have to split up transacations in order to avoid not receiving any uprs!
Angela says
@Lauren M, One of my transactions was only $10 and I was suppose to get back $10. Nothing printed at all.
Lauren M says
@Angela, that is strange….def. contact them about it or return and retry
Janet says
I bought regular Special K and had no problem in PA. Same for the Barilla. Also did the Aveeno, Precise,& Stayfree. But I did have a bunch of +UP rewards. Is it 24 not $24 that we are limited to?
Lynzee H says
Me and one of my friends also had no upr’s print at all and I myself should have had almost $60.00 in them print. My rite aid returned my entire transaction and then did it over again in smaller trans and then they worked. Well all of them but the revlon beauty tools one, I contacted rite aid on that one. Dunno what is going on with them this week!
Tina Seymour says
@Lynzee H, max of 24 ups to print on one transaction (not $$$ but ups) so if it was over 24 or maybe 25?? then that might have been the issue. Happy they offered to redo the whole thing in smaller transactions!
Lynzee H says
@Tina Seymour,
thanks! yea it was a little over 24 thanks to the hormel and pasta we both bought! Glad they fixed it for me though :)
