RITE AID: November 8 - 15 *FREE/MM herbal essences*

[jenlovestoteach]

OK, so for a scenario, assuming they are approx 4.99 each, would it work like this?

$4.99x6 Herbal Essences products = $30
$5 filler item = $35
- 5/25
- $15 Rite Aid BOGO sale
- $15 HE BOGO coupons

total = tax ?

I'm no expert, but I think it does matter--not because of the coupon, but because of the sale. I am assuming that Rite Aid is going to make the free item be whichever one costs less. If that's the styler, then Rite Aid and the coupon are going to try to make the same item be free twice. I'm hoping that I'll find items that are all the same price to avoid this.

I see what you're saying. I completely forgot about the BOGO sale going on. I was just thinking about using the coupon.

What is the pink cookware deal?

So actually we should choose stylers that are more expensive than the shampoos/conditioners to make sure they don't ring up as the free items? Or if all the items are the same price, is it the order in which they are scanned that determines which items rings up as free in a BOGO sale?

Has anyone tried this deal yet?

I didn't use the $5/$25 Q (I'm a relative newbie to RA and was a little nervous about just getting all this free shampoo/styler anyhow), but did use 4 BOGO and 1 free Herbal Essences coupon along with a $1 Oral B Q. Got 5 shampoos, 5 hairsprays, and the Oral B toothbrush for $1.99 total--and will get $2.99 back in SCR, so it was a $1 MM .

Forgot to add that the shampoo/conditioners and stylers were all the same price ($4.49. Looking at my receipt I do see that the stylers are actually the items that rang in for free, so maybe the best bet at less coupon-friendly RAs is to just buy 2 stylers for each coupon.

[katarain]

Wouldn't work for me. I don't want the stylers--just the shampoo and conditioners, so I'm definitely only getting one styler for each coupon. But I have a pretty friendly RA.

I'm planning to have them scan a styler first, then shampoo, then styler, then conditioner, then styler, then shampoo, etc.
