I tries to use 3 $2 off any Post It flag, which are on sale for $1.99 and they told me NO...they are not allowed to do overage and can't adjust...ARGGG!! Congrats to all of you who can!

I did email corporate in regards to this as it happened to me as well. It took me 2 attempts, but I finally got a phone call from the store manager saying that I could come in even if I didn't still have my coupon & they would give me the $2.

We had a grand opening for a Rite Aid this week and they ran their own specials.

Mott's Applesauce was only 2/$1. I had a $1/2, but they were out. I got a raincheck for 16 jars then came home and bought 10 coupons on Ebay for $2. 16 jars for $2 isn't too bad!!

I also got the following:

5 Reach Toothbrushes ($.99 - free w/ $1 mfc)
AF Toothpaste (made $1 with the mfc/after src)
Crest Toothpaste (made $1 with the mfc after src)
Dish detergent (only $.45 after rebate/mfc)

I was very excited b/c we use the Xtra Laundry soap and that was on sale for $1.99. So after my coupons/SCR, my total OOP will only be about $16!!!! I got 9 things of detergent in addition to all of the above.

So far this month I have done the dove deal, advil, pepcid, crest rinse and crest toothpaste and am getting back a $5.00 rite aid card and 12.76 check. Wow.

I found a bunch of $2/10 coupons at Rite Aid today! woohoo! I was running in to get a picture frames (it wasnt that cheap) but the extra $2 savings was great. These coupons dont expire for a while, guess i'll start doing the rebates at rite aid, could make an extra $2 for every 10 I spend!

With the Electrolsol on sale this week for $2.99 and the rebate of $1.49 I will end up getting paid $1.46 for the box I bought Sunday at RA! I used my $2.25/1 coupon so I only pd $1.03 for it oop. Now they will pay me when I get the rebate back!! YEAH!!!!!

My $20 gift of savings finally came in the mail today and I didn't waste any time using it!

My purchases:
1 pack Huggies- $10.99
4 boxes of Kleenex- $6
(got me over $25 for KC Room solutions card)
1 box of Electrasol- $2.99
1 Schick Quattro- $6.99
1 SoyJoy bar- $1.39

My coupons:
$2 Huggies
$0.50 Kleenex
$2.25 Electrasol
$4 Schick
$1.39 SoyJoy

The total got to $22.82 and my $4 Schick coupon wouldn't scan so she scanned my $20 GOS check and I told her not to worry about the $4 coupon because my total was now $2.82. She said, "oh no, I'll just put it in as $4 cash." She paid me $1.18 to walk out the door with all that stuff and I will get $15.50 back in rebates! My first (and probably only time) they will give me change back.

Lucky you! I had some of those from a converted Brooks, and I loved them! They expired on 12/31/2007. Was this a converted store that you found them at?

I love freebies!
I was able to find everything that was a freebie on this week's ad. I've learned the secret to that....be there at 8 am Sunday morning, as soon as the doors open. The cashier did wonder how I knew about the sales items when the flier was just out this morning. I just smiled and said, "Oh, I have my connections." Thanks, justmeagain!
My oop was $41.48 and my rebate from this trip alone will be $45.69. They are paying me $4.26 to take stuff from their store. And it just wasn't the FAR stuff that I bought today. I also bought 16 cans of tuna, some mandarin oranges and a couple of other sale items. LOVE IT!
FYI....the dove candy is on sale 2/5, I used a BOGO free Q and the cashier took off the reg price of 4.39, so I got both for 61 cents!
