Shopping at Rite Aid


Some of the best deals I get come from Rite Aid! It is a great place to shop when you use coupons. Here is some basic information you will need to help you save money at Rite Aid.

Single Check Rebates-
Each week, Rite Aid offers discounts on certain items via Single Check Rebates (abbreviated SCR.) This rebate program is quite possibly the easiest out there as you don't have to mail anything in. Simply go here and create an account. Save your login and password information somewhere handy because you'll be accessing this page each time you shop at Rite Aid!

You can see what rebates are offered
online here, as well as in the weekly ad. Most rebate offers are only valid for 1 week, beginning on Sunday and ending the following Saturday. There is most often also a limit of 1 SCR submitted for a certain item. However, there has been the random rebate that lasts all month and has a limit of 3 or 4, so keep an eye on the fine print!

After you shop, come home,
sign in and click, "Enter Receipt." You'll be prompted to enter 4 pieces of information from your receipt: the store number, transaction number, register number and date. After that, your rebate information will take 2-3 days to process, then it will be available online for you to view. Rite Aid will send you email updates regarding the status of your receipt information.

Rebates come in the form of a check that can be either used at Rite Aid, or deposited into your bank account like any other check!
Rite Aid will only send out 1 rebate check per rebate period, which usually last about a month. If you shop there weekly, you'll enter your receipts each week, then after the rebate period ends, you can request your check online by clicking the "Request check" button. If you enter your receipts and forget to request your check, Rite Aid will automatically send it to you after 2 months. Just don't forget to enter your receipt information!

Store Coupons-
Rite Aid generally has a number of store coupons available that can be combined with manufacturers coupons. Although Rite Aid coupons say "Manufacturers Coupons" on them, they're easy to distinguish as the bar code begins with "RC" and there is no reimbursement address on the coupon.

Maximizing your Savings -
There are a couple of ways to maximize your savings at Rite Aid. Their normal prices are quite inflated, so just stick to purchasing Single Check Rebate items. If there is a rebate available all month for a certain product, instead of rushing out to buy it, wait for a sale! Most often there are also coupons available for these items. By combining all three money saving methods- the sale, rebate and coupon, you can almost always get items for FREE each week!
