I am new to shopping at ra and I have been looking through the posts here. So what is tjhe best deal to start with today or when the new ad comes out tomorrow? Also where do you get the ra coupons are they just the ones that come in the rebate book or are there others. Sorry about the questions!!

Welcome to the RA forum! We have a great poster who gets early ads so it makes it easy to plan and get coupons ready!!

You might be able to find some items in your local stores this week. I have to go Sundays to make sure I get the FAR items.

Here are the items that are free (or better than free) still today:
2) Page 8, Oxy Face Wash/Shave Cream, FREE/MONEY MAKER
Sale: 5.99
SCR:(#198) up to 5.99
Use: 1/1 (5-4RP)
Total: -1.00

6)Missing Page, Ponds, Money Maker

8) Page 8, Pert Shampoo w/botanical extracts, MONEY MAKER

To eat the overage you could actually buy 1 regular pert for every pert with botanicals and use the 2/1 (6-29RP) which should bring your total to just tax

There are RA printables for signing up online. And there are books in the store. Some just expired today. Others I have expire in September. Look for them on endcaps or near the pharmacy. They also had booklets in the cosmetic area.

HTH a bit!!

For the SCR can you buy more than one? I wanted to buy the Crest, can I buy a few and get a few rebates back?

nevermind I see where it says limit 1

My biggest piece of advice (as a semi-newbie myself) is to SAVE your receipts!

I've only been doing this since May and I've already had two items skipped on my receipts so I have to fax in the dang things to prove that I did buy the items. Just pay careful attention and track when your rebate items are approved. :)

Have fun!

Another newbie here. Do I need a loyalty card of some sort to start doing the SCR deals? Something else? Or can I just go in, buy what I want and do the rebate online somehow? Thanks!

No need for card like CVS, just go online to submit the receipts. Don't touch the item AFTER the rebate has been approved, if the rebates does not go through, you can still return it.
