Looking For Help

[slcollins619]

Hi everyone!
I am looking for help with Rite-Aid rr & scr. I have finally mastered (I think) the whole CVSing thing so now I am going to try my hand at this. I have never shopped at Rite-Aid before (we only had eckards where I live and they just changed them over a couple months ago). I have no idea where to start or how to start with little or no money oop. I was going to do the whole new/trans rx to get a $30 gc to start my shopping with but alas, the only rxs that I have to do this with, I don't have to pay for because ins takes care of all of it. I noticed that it said that on the bottom of the q that was in my paper this week.
Can you guys help me????

I don't know anything about the RX, but on the SCR, it's hard not to have some OOP. There are definitely money makers to be had using their rebates, but it does unfortunately require to to depart with some cash upfront.

My first suggestion would be to sign up for "My RiteAid", which should link you up to some RA coupons (note that this is a seperate sign-up than the rebate process). Then, get the monthly rebate book (I prefer to pick up a hard copy in the store since there are so many deals), compare it to the weekly circulars and your coupon stash. As already mentioned, you will definitely have OOP at first, but the program more than makes up for it. Don't forget about the ability to combine RA coupons with Man Q's for the best possible deals. RA is also pretty quick about turning around their rebate checks. I've only been doing their program a few months and LOVE it. This month I've gotten $283 of stuff that I'll actually be paid $16 for buying between RA and man rebates. I know that pales in comparison to some CVS deals, but I think that's pretty darn good.

This is my first month really doing a lot of deals at RA, and I have had a lot OOP, especially compare to CVS. The reason being that you don't get your rebates at the time of purchase like the ECBs, you have to wait until the end of the month and then get a big check all at once.

I think I have earned around $40 this month, though, and my thought was to buy a RA gift card with the SCR check, and then use that money to roll into deals next month to limit my OOP. I think after another month or so I should be able to get my OOP pretty low and much more in line with what I do at CVS!!

I have been doing scr since January and love it! There's no CVS in my area, so I love Rite Aid! It's so easy too, I only buy the stuff that is free after rebate, and then type the receipt number in at riteaid.com under single check rebates, request my check at the end of the month(very important! You can only request a check once a month so do it at the end!) and get my check two weeks later! I will never buy shampoo that isn't free again!! :) :)

I am going to try Rite-aid while I am also doing CVS to maximize savings. It makes me nervous because of the higher oop but once I get going I know it will be worth it!
