Sometimes you have to "break in" stores :sad:

This is the first time I've used BOGO coupons on a BOGO sale at Rite Aid (or anywhere, I think). I did it first yesterday and it rang up just fine. I did it again today with several more coupons and the cashier did something wrong so that it rang up way higher than it should have. Go figure that the store was a deserted wasteland when I got there, but as soon as I got to the register with my coupons, people from out of nowhere lined up behind me. The whole transaction had to be voided. They moved me to another register where that person rang it up and got it right. I scored big because I also got razors for .89 and a free Glade candle with overage since they were clearance priced at $1.75 and I had a $2 MQ. Total for 30 candies, a Glade candle and the Noxema razors was $1.74.

Even though the transaction went wonky at first, the people in my Rite Aid were really good about working with it until it went through. I know sometimes workers get confused about things and instead of problem solving they'll just blow you off with a "you can't do that." I really appreciate my store working so hard to figure it out, especially since it was my first time with that kind of transaction as well. Yay free candy.

I went for my first Rite-Aid run a couple of days ago...didn't get the Complete contact solution 'cause it was already gone, so I got a RC for that and hope it is there before the end of the week though. Anyway, I got the Noxzema razors w/ .11 overage and 18 candy bars free and I bought some Shout (had a Q for this and needed some desperately!) I paid $4.xx OOP for all of this. The cashier and manager were really nice and helpful, I was afraid my coupons were going to blow away though before she got them all rung in 'cause there was a fan right behind the checkout blowing on the cashier. I had to give her back a couple that were blowing back my way! lol! But, it went real well I thought for my first time there, I hope to get there again this week but not sure if I will. I will call to see if the contact stuff came in first 'cause it's too far of a drive to come back empty handed!

Happy Shopping! ;)

My trip wasn't a complete bust, but only got transferred script instead of the deals planned. The Colgate MQs don't match up with $.99 sale and the store didn't have $2.50 Reach toothbrush in singles, just double packs. Didn't want to push my luck with BOGO Mars candy since all the clerks were super helpful.

If anyone gets a script for Advair, ask your doc about coupons. She had a package that said "free first prescription." I transferred the script Target was holding, used the free Q from doc and the $25 Rite Aid Q from this Sunday's insert. FREE med that's originally priced at $167 plus $25 GC! Can't complain. :)

This was my first time shopping at Rite Aid (nothing really at CVS/Wags so I decided to expand my horizons). It seemed to be a good week. I made two trips so as to maximize the $5/25 Q. I got all of the free after SCR deals, the cashier was very helpful and was excited that I was getting such a great deal with Qs. She had no issues with me getting 16 free candy bars between the B1G1 store promo and the B1G1 MQ from inserts. It was a pleasant departure from some of the eye rolls and "you can't do that" I typically get at Wags and CVS.

So I am looking at next week (thanks for the sneek peek) yet I really don't see much. So my question is (for those who are regular Rite Aiders).....was this week typical? Or is next week typical? I guess I was a bit disappointed when looking at next week's ad. And perhaps I was lucky to find everything in stock (maybe no shelf clearers in my area) and such a helpful clerk. The store was eerily quiet.

Some weeks are HOT HOT HOT, some are NOT NOT NOT.
Next week I didn't really see any deals at all. I'm going to try to get the following weeks ad today/tomorrow

Thanks. Next week seemed like a dud of a week for me anyways.....my stockpile is well stocked so if it aint free or close to it, I'll wait until it is. And a week off from one store is just fine with me as juggling CVS, Wags, RA, Target and Publix is too much anyway. It's nice to know that with RA, skipping a week or two won't jeopordize my savings....no register rewards or Extra Care Bucks to expire.

This was my first week at Rite Aid as well!!! I was wondering as well if every week is this good. I just cashed in all my RR's and ECB's at the other two stores and figured I would try Rite Aid for a while. Rite Aid is alot closer for me than the other 2.
