A quick note about some changes in Rite Aid's Video Values.  In the past, you were able to print out multiple Vide Values Coupons and use multiple in one transaction. Times they are a changin'.  Beginning with July's Video Value Coupons, you are only allowed to use one like coupon per transaction.  For example, I was in Rite Aid earlier this week and picked up two packs of the small Hershey bar packs that were on sale BOGO ($1.99 for two packs) and tried to use 2 $1.00 Video Value coupons for the Hershey candy. The first coupon scanned and the second coupon beeped.  There was an error on the register "one coupon per transaction".  I asked her to void one bag of the candy, but, since the drug stores BOGO sales do not ring up half price, the price was the same.  I left with nothing - who pays for candy these days???? Maybe us if this keeps up!!! It is unclear if you can use more than one of the same video values during the month (with separate transactions).  Since I have not been couponing much due to being out of town (I KNOW - say it isn't so!!!), I have not confirmed this yet.

Drug Store Deals for the week of 6/27/10 - Updated

Updates below in BLUE

Warm Delights .88
.75 coupon from the 6/27 coupons inserts (not confirmed)
= .13

There are times where you need to "up" your total by just a little bit, so that you can use your Extra Care bucks.  Here's a great filler:

Starbucks Frappuccino, singles $1.50, use the $1 printable, Link: Starbucks

= .50

I kicked some major butt at Rite Aid on Sunday morning.  I won't go into the nitty gritty, but most of the deals that I did are below.

My total before coupons: $96.03
Wellness Savings: $14.36
Coupons: $79.00
Grand Total: $2.67

Have you done the Video Values? Don't forget about those.  If you can spend about 40 minutes and view enough to get 20 points, you can print out a $5/20 coupon (when you print these, go ahead and print multiples - it won't let you print them again). EVERY transaction I do at Rite Aid is at least $20 before coupons.....I get a lot of stuff for free with assistance from the $5/20 coupon. Visit Rite Aid.com and click on Video Values - they walk you through the process.
Warning - If you did not do the Video Values for the month of June, some of the following deals may tnot be as sweet for you. The July Video Values start 6/27 and you cannot go back and view June's videos.

I rocked the UP rewards last week with the Motrin and I have several to use.  I think I am going to use them on the John Frieda deal.

Starting 6/27/10, John Frieda Hair Care products are 4/$20, with a $10 UP Reward that will print out. Deduct the UP reward and it makes them 4/$10.  You know that's WAYYY to much, but combine the coupons and it bring your out of pocket way down......use the $2.50 printable, Link: JF.....print two (hit the back button).  OR, use the $2 coupon from the 6/6 Smart Source OR use the $3 coupon from the 6/6 Smart Source
= around $1 after UP rewards

Here's how it will work:
4 John Freida = $20.00
$5/$20 coupon = - $5.00
$2.50 coupon x 2 = - $5.00
$2.00 coupon x 2 = - $4.00
Subtotal: $6 plus tax
I will use 2 of my $3 UP rewards from the Motrin = - $3.00
Pay tax and get $10 in UP rewards
Now - what on EARTH am I going to get that costs $10 at RA?  My total is never that high. (My friend Anita and I were talking about that the other day).  I feel a splurge coming on!!!

Clearasil Skin Care in $3 in ad coupon, they start at $5.49.
Use the $1 coupon from the 5/9 Smart Source AND the $3 in ad coupon AND the $3 Video Values coupon from June)
= free,  with possible overage
I did this on Sunday and got $1.50 overage on each of the $5.49 items.  Buy several, combine that with the $5/$20 Video Value coupon and you can get major overage.  I used this overage to pay for my John Freida and a couple of Starbucks Fraps (splurge).

Aveeno Baby care is Buy 1 get 1 50% off. (I sure hope the regular lotion is this same deal, but can't confirm yet). There is a $2 in ad coupon for Aveeno.  Also, use the $1.50 off Aveeno Suncare from the 5/16 Red Plum. I did not do a price check while I was in there, but thee baby items are the only Aveeno items that seem to be on sale.  I didn't see any tags up for the regular lotion.

We may have another chance to use our Pampers Wipes coupons.  They are Buy one get one 50% off.....not sure of the price, but something to check out!!

Coppertone: $8.99.  There is a $2 in ad coupon and $3 Video Value coupon (from June) and we are supposedly getting a $4 coupon in 6/27's inserts
= possibly free sunscreen!!!
Plus, enter your receipts and submit for a $25 skincare rebate when you purchase $50 or more in qualifying items.  See rebate #555.  In addition, when you use your RA rewards card, you also get an additional $5 rebate card.

Buy $25 get $5
Buy $50 get $15
Buy $100 get $35
This deal is for the more experienced couponer.  If you are a newbie - don't try this at home!!!

I am not going into more details, but if you need to increase your stockpile, this is for you. By combining the $5/20 q from the Rite Aid Video Rewards, you could break even or pay very little (tax) OOP. Stay focused my friends.  Create your list and order your coupons (if you need more).  Also, if you have your deal sketched out and know you are going to need a lot of a certain item, don't hesitate to ask the store to order the items for you.  They order every other week and their truck comes in once every two weeks, but if you time it right - you could really score. I know that the manager at the Rural Hall store LOVES couponers and has told me on several occassions that she would be happy to order anything I need.

For deal scenerios, go to afullcup.com, click on Rite Aid and take a look at some of the posts they have.  Very informative.  This is where I'm getting my information!!!

There is a Pepsi deal at Wags this week, but I think CVS's is better.  BUT - If you have RRs to burn (I have ECBs to use), Wags is your place for Pepsi this week.

Pepsico products get $10 RR WYB $20 (rr deal 1/03-2/07):


Aquafina 24 Pk
Frito-Lay Doritos, Tostitos, or lays 12 oz + $2.50
Gatorade 32 oz $1
Gatorade 6 pack of 12 oz
Pepsi 12 pk $4 ($3 in some areas)
Pepsi 2 Liter $1.25
Stacy's Pita chips 7.33 or 8 oz $2.50
Tostitos Salsa or Queso 15 oz $2.50

I cannot confirm these prices, ymmv.  I got this information from afullcup.com.  Also, I am fairly confident that other sodas (Mt. Dew, Diet Pepsi, etc.) are included in this sale, but you might want to check the sales flyer and/or signs on the shelf before you check out.  Keep in mind, as much as well all like Dr. Pepper, Coke distributes this in our area (the distributor is different in other parts of the country) and is not included in this sale.
