Rite Aid Shopping Trip 4/9/2009

Thanks to IheartRiteAid.com for all of the great info!

I ran into Rite Aid this evening and did 2 transactions. The cashiers weren’t too happy when I used 2 $5/25 but they did allow it. I know it isn’t the best thing to do but I wanted to get in and get out and most of the deals were already taken. I was hoping to get the Tear drops for free but they were out, so I thought I would get the coke deal and they were out of that too. So, this is what I came up with. I wanted to buy the Shampoo and Claritin so I split them up in two transactions.

-$0.50 Gain coupon from CVS heritiage book. The cashiers had a problem with this because it said “Reediamble at CVS”, however I explained to them that it was a regular manufacture coupon because it still had the address and didn’t say “CVS only.” I believe it was a manager a very quiet man said to scan it and if it scanned it is ok. Which it did. They still weren’t happy with me.
