I'm a busy mom of three boys. Not a financial expert by any means, but I am pretty good at couponing and making a dollar stretch farther.Got Questions?
Have a burning question or suggestion? Give me a ring at contact@sharingmytwocents.comGetting Started
Ok. So you are new to couponing? Don't despair. Help is on the way. Check here soon for links to my best beginner articles.Diapers and More for a $14.38 PROFIT- A Rite-Aid Trip
It’s been a long time since I set foot in a Rite-Aid. Despite my serious couponing trips to CVS, Walgreens and Harris Teeter I’ve never done the deals in the Rite-Aid Single Check Rebate program before.
Here’s how I was able to maximize my trip. I had a prescription that needed to be refilled and a coupon for a $30 gift when I transferred a prescription to Rite-Aid. I transferred mine from CVS (sorry CVS! I’ll transfer back when you send me a good coupon) and paid my $5 co-pay using my husband’s FSA Visa. Every paycheck tax-free money is deposited onto the card for medical expenses.
Now I had a $30 gift card to use just for transferring my prescription. Yippea!
Here’s what I got:
2 Pampers jumbo diapers 2 x 11.49
1 Rite-Aid antacid tablets $3.49
1 Soothing Care Monistat Powder Gel $4.99
1 Tums Quikpak $3.99
Used the following coupons:
$2.25 Tums printable coupon
$3.00 Monistat coupon
$2.00/2 Pampers coupon
Total $30.59
Used $30.00 gift card and paid $.59 cash
Will get back the following refunds:
Monistat Rite-AID SCR $4.99
Tums Quikpak Rite-Aid SCR $3.99
Pampers Rite-Aid SCR $2.00
Tums Quikpak Manufacturer Rebate $3.99for a TOTAL PROFIT of $14.38
Now, some of you many be wondering how I can receive 2 rebates for the Tums Quikpak? Well, the Rite-Aid Single Check Rebate is entered online. After I’m done using the information from my receipt to enter the rebate online, I can mail off the receipt for the Tums Manufacturer rebate. I made a BIG profit just from purchasing the Tums Quikpack. Let’s take a look.
Tums Quikpak $3.99
- $2.25 coupon
= $1.74 total cost (but used my gift card to purchase)
will get back 2 $3.99 rebates (Rite-Aid SCR and Manufacturer rebate)
Not taking into account that the $1.74 total cost was paid with my gift card the profit for the Tums was $6.34.
I think my first trip to Rite-Aid went pretty well. Anyone else use the Rite-Aid Single Check Rebate program to score some good deals?
p.s. If anyone is wondering about all the TUMS and antacids I bought let me just say- I’m pregnant and one little bite of chocolate or tomato sauce gives me heartburn. I try to avoid those things, but a girl has to have some chocolate every once in a while 
and I can’t stay from Italian foods the entire pregnancy.
