I don't know why IM having so much trouble but one question for now is
what does Newspaper Coupon mean.. is it the actual Newspaper and if so where or what section would yuou find it..
for example this weeks deals at rite aid
Colgate Optic White Toothbrush 1ct
\Price is after $6 up reward and 2 newspaper coupons. Limit 4 Colgate Optic White rewards
\ what does this mean?

News paper coupons are The coupon books in the sunday news paper..are called inserts, they are redplum,and smartsocuce.. sometimes there is more P&G or General Mills or unleaver each week is different with different coupons in them..

they are shinny like most of the sales books are

oh ok I know what that is.. I call them the Manufactor coupons.. but I get those.. rite aid made it sound like it was something else I had the Mfr coupon and riteaid coupon.. she said I needed the "Newspaper Coupon too or I coudlnt get it free. :(

Ok I'm not sure what your cashier was talking about but I looked at an ad for Rite Aid in California (I don't have one near me). The sale goes like this:

Colgate Optic White Toothpaste 4 oz. Manual Toothbrush 1 ct. Limit 4 +UP offers per household price with wellness+ card
Price:2 for $7.98
(After $6.00 +up reward, it's like paying $1.98 for 2!)
On sale until 10/13/2011


So normally it would cost you $7.98 for 2 toothbrushes, to get the items free you would need $6.00 +up rewards (from previous transactions) plus 2 manufacturers coupons.


When you start out shopping this way...you will first have to spend a little money (like $20) at first to get your +up rewards stocked up. Then you can start shopping the deal with q's and +up rewards to get items for free or near free. Hope that helped!

sorry to bother you... what does the 6.00 + up rewards.... so are you saying that i would need to have earned a 6.00 coupon from rite aid at a previous purchase that says
I can use 6.00 towards any purchase or is it some type of 6.00 reward for specificially the toothbrush?
I hope I am making sense!!

Basically yes...here's an easier way to do this. Now I'm assuming you have no +up rewards, there's a few ways you can do this actually. (BTW +up rewards will either print at the end of your receipt or from a machine next to the register...again I don't shop right aid so I don't know exactly how they print their rewards but I do know the cashier will hand it to you) Here's your deal:

Colgate Optic White Toothpaste 4 oz. Manual Toothbrush 1 ct. Limit 4 +UP offers per household price with wellness+ card
Price:2 for $7.98
(After $6.00 +up reward, it's like paying $1.98 for 2!)
On sale until 10/13/2011

NOTE: The ad says LIMIT 4 +UP offers per household price with wellness+ card...you'll need to get the wellness+ card from Rite aid when you go there. It also is saying you can do this deal 4 times.

Scenario #1 We start with $20ish
Buy 6 toothbrushes for $7.98=$23.94
Use 6 manufacturers coupons .50 off=$3.00 off
You pay $20.94
You earn $18.00 in +up reward

Now you can take these $18.00 in +plus up rewards and use them on other purchases that will give you +up rewards.

Scenario #2 We start with $8.00
Buy 2 toothbrushes for $7.98
Use 2 manufacturers coupons .50 off=$1.00 off
You pay $6.98
You earn $6.00 in +up rewards

Now get back in line with 2 more toothbrushes, 2 more manufacturers coupons and your newly gotten $6.00 +up rewards.

Buy 2 toothbrushes for $7.98
Use 2 manufacturers coupons .50 off=$1.00
Use 1 $6.00 +up rewards
You pay .98
You earn $6.00 in +up rewards

Repeat and repeat again...because you will in the end reach your limit of 4 deals per household.

So at the end of your trip in Scenario #2 you would have paid $9.92 for 8 toothbrushes or divide it and it comes out to $1.24 each.

I personally like Scenario #1 to start with because you earn the most amount of +up rewards to start you off. But everyone does it differently.

Hope this helped...if you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask
