So, I got a few RC's for the B1G1 Nivea and the B1G1 Stayfree

Here is my ??.....they put a quantity of (4) on my RC for both RC's.....does this mean I can buy (8) total if it was B1G1 Free or only (4)??

I would think that if I am buying the (4) listed that I should be able to get (4) more for free Or I am crazy and is this wishful thinking?

Or, is it going to depend on the cashier and ymmv?

TIA

If you have 4 B1G1 coupons then you get a total of 8 products. You will just have to pay the tax. And if your RA takes the RA 5/25 etc. coupons first, then you might be able to get a few more items free depending on how much money you spend before the B1G1 coupons are applied.

Yep will depend on your cashier and the manager. It's def a ymmv situation around here.
I try to make stores write 8 quantity in the margin for a 4 item rc - it's still ymmv situation with that info too.

Hopefully your store is a good one since they wrote a 4 quantity rc. My store has recently changed to a bad store & will only right 2 on the rc. Just making up all kinds of rules everytime we shop. So Good luck OP, sounds like you have a good store.

My stores will only accept the 5/20 and 5/25 after coupons which stinks. Boo :shrug7:

That is what I figured

My one store just recently started writing (2) on the RC too....luckily my other store asked me how many I wanted

As far as making up their own rules the store who writes RC's to your liking will also only accept (2) LIKE coupons now per customer. SO annoying

just thought I'd mention the Tuesday discount ... not a great deal, but for those of us in non-wellness+ areas, it's something!

If you have a RiteAid Rewards card, on Tuesdays, all regular price items are discounted 10%.

I just heard a cashier say that on First Tuesdays, the discount is 20%.

I know, we rarely buy items at regular price - though when it's a BOGO or MIR deal, it's worth considering shopping on Tuesdays!

Hi, I just registered to this site today and I AM A RITE AID EMPLOYEE. I find myself laughing outloud at all these ra comments. I am fairly new there (3mo.) and was hired in as a shift supervisor. I have truly learned some things today about ra policy on coupons and rainchecks although i may take offense to some of the idiot remarks (I'm a college graduate looking for a dental hygiene job in Ohio if anyone has a heads up) but I also admit to not being trained properly at ra and therefore was unaware of some of the policies that you all seem to be familiar with. LOL
Thanks for the morning laugh,

also what does ymmv mean? thanks

teethgirl: welcome to HCW! PLEASE don't take offense to any remarks made! As you pointed out the lack of training can def. lead to frustration both on the consumer and employee side of things. You have to admit it is pretty sad when you learn more here on HCW about your own employer's policy ......that def. is not your fault but instead is management. Anyways.......glad you are here. If you have any questions be sure to PM me. YMMV = your mileage may vary.......meaning the situation/outcome varies by cashier/management etc.

Here is a post of acronym's which may help you. I know when I first started couponing, it like I was reading posts in a whole other language

Welcome to HCW. I worked at a bank and did some training. I have an better understanding while shopping and who's acting like an idiot. It really goes up to corp. The cashiers just do what managers say or never explain how to & managers can only follow a training guide if corp gives them one. Not everyone takes it into their own hands to make their own training guide on everything(unlike me).

How long are Rainchecks and associated single check rebates valid for? Using the Prell example:

I got the raincheck on 12/14 and still haven't seen Prell since (neither have the cashiers) I don't seen anywhere on the raincheck where it expires. There was a $2 SCR on the Prell for the week in which I bought the Prell. I have already submitted for my December SCR - will I still be able to get the Prell SRC as well?

Thanks!
