The no nonse socks are b1g1 50% if your store has 1.99 single pairs buy 2 and they’re free.
Also the hand sanitizer isn’t it limit 4?
Thanks, I forgot to add that!
I found clearance multipacks of socks at my store. 2.04 price 6 pairs for 1.00 is not a bad deal.
Thanks, Sara. I was bummed this morning when they were out of hand sanitizers, but remembered your post
I was surprised that the Fat Foam coupon wasn’t printing for some. I printed it yesterday with no problem from Internet Explorer. Looks like an easy Rite Aid trip this week with all the freebies and no complicated scenarios. I have lots of printables and Video values that probably won’t scan so the cashier will have her hands full tomorrow morning.
Which printables? So I can be ready?
It looks like the Fat Foam coupon is a PDF like the other $2/1 Samy Coupon, does anyone have any problems with these scanning at their store or do they go right through??
Just did the Samy foam deal and the $5/1 scanned right through. The $2/1 vv coupon beeped though.
can we do the VV and the in-ad coupon? i thought they were both the same RA code and we could only use one or the other. i’m confused……
you are correct, you can not use the VV coupon with the in-ad coupon. My error. I have fixed that in the match ups
Are all the freebies available tomorrow morning (So Cal) or do we have to wait until Sunday?
Tomorrow for SoCal unless you live in San Diego. If you live in San Diego you have to wait until Sunday.
Thank you!
Quick question can you use a coupon on a free item at Rite aid? Havent done much shopping here before plz let me know thanks
There is also a 2.00 VV on the leg cream..
Where do you see this? Let me know so I can add it!
Magnilife 2.00 off any one product
i believe they said u could (:
According to the Rite Aid coupon policy, you can not use a coupon on a free item. Hope that helps!
nice ….
Magnilife VV 2.00 off any one product
There is a $10 VV coupons for some Conair brushes. If there’re included in the sale Get 7 Up when you buy a conair brush, you can get them for free. they are price at 16.99. (fingers cross)
I couldn’t find the $10 VV for Conair brushes. Were they from July?
Nvmd…found it
I believe she is referring to the $10 Conair spin air brush dryers coupon from this months vid values. It is technically a dryer so it may be included in the $16.99 sale.
Where can i find a 10 $ vv coupon please anyone for conair
let us know if it works. I would love one for free.
It worked! Be sure to get the $16.99 one. The $9.99 one wouldn’t print the $7 +Up. It’s the one with an additional barrel.
Which one did you get?
Did the VV coupon beep when you tried it? Because it did when I went just now in Ontario, CA store and I wasn’t able to get it. I’ll try at another RA later on today, but wanted to know if yours had beeped or not? Pls reply!
I tried this, too, but it didn’t work for me, either, Melanie. My VV coupon beeped on that $16.99 one (with the $7 +Up), and the cashier wouldn’t take it. She went and looked at all the products on the aisle and said that VV coupon is only good on the $59.99 Conair spin brush. It was worth a try, though. It may be a YMMV thing, based on your stores, but I was pretty sure it was too good to be true, so I wasn’t that disappointed when it didn’t work.
It was the Conair Supreme hot air styler. All my coupons were beeping so the cashier even went and got the $60 one and it still beeped on that one. I told him I would purchase whichever one the coupon was for but he couldn’t figure it out. He ended up just giving me the $16.99 one and took the coupons. Maybe they didn’t carry the right model?
What is UPC on the box that prints the UP for Conair?
Josie, Is the coupon for the Spin Styler Dryer or can we use it for any spin brush?
I saw a $16.99 brush but is not the one in the picture of the VVcoupon or the Video Value so I did not try. I Do not want to use the coupon for an item that is not supossed to be used.
I agree with you. We can’t always tell by the photo alone, so I tried it anyway, just to be sure and rule it out (and report back here). It didn’t work for me on that 16.99 one, and I don’t think it’s supposed to.
ok so I tried this deal today and the $10 q is only good on the spin dryer which is a $59 dryer. They wouldnt let me use it on the $16.99 ones and believe me I tried. Too bad
I still bought one though with the $7 up it was still a good deal 
I read hormel compleats are free with flu shot booklet $1 q and manu $1 q. Haven’t seen our ad or the booklet to verify.
I’ve seen the $1 manu q printable but not the flu shot booklet. I will check it out if they have any left this AM
Con air 2-1 brush included in the $7+
Also the Box of Kleenex tissue is BOGO Free and spend $10 get $2 back
There was a MQ $0.60/1 last 8/4/12 from sat spanish paper.
And I believe they are price $2.79 and if you are a gold member it will be nice!
does the free item count towards the $10
I don’t think so but im planning to get 4 and get 4 for free.
eco tools up does not print……
I got mine when I bought 2 Eco Tools makeup brushes this morning
didn’t print for me either. i bought the bath sponges.
I bought the $2.29 loofa sponges and the Up+ reward didn’t print.
I chatted with customer service and they are mailing it…
I bought 2 sponges and the ups printed fine…
Ha they must have fixed it or I bought 2.29 Scrubbies.
I found the culprit for ecotools. The “loofa sponge” does not Generate the up. The regular poofy type sponges work just fine. I was able to test today. Hope that helps.
Hi All. I found the culprit for Ecotools. The “Loofa Sponge (flat tan color)” does not generate the up. This was also priced $2.29. The regular type poofy sponge that is priced at $2.29 as well works just fine for the up. I was able to test today. Hope that helps someone.
No i bought poufy sponges…….strange maybe they fixed it cause I hit them up early!!!!!
I bought 2 Eco Friendly “bath poof sponges” today and I got the UP reward.
RA hand sanatizers sale only works for the basic variety. I bought the aloe and shea butter varieties and had to return them and rebuy the basic kind to get the up rewards. The ad says 8 oz and doesn’t specify what varieties are included so I just wanted to give the heads up.
thank you!
In that situation I just match the picture.
Is the hand sanitizer for 2 oz size? I bought two and didn’t get any up rewards. And also didn’t get $5 +up for the sleep sheets either
Oh and maxfreeze was a beeper for me. So they almost didn’t take the coupon, but eventually put it through.
I know same here. Because it was weird like at first it said the q was gone on other links and then it was there.
the max freeze beeped item not found for me as well.
It did not beep for me, it went through without a problem.
BTW just so you all know the VV beeps as usual but if they enter the numbers it clears.
What button do the cashiers hit after they manually enter VV number? Do they hit department look up for what?
No they just manually enter the numbers.
Was just coming to mention the hand sanitizer but Barstow Mom already did! Also, the SAMY hair color rang up at 7.99 for me, not 8.99. I’m at gold but not sure why the extra dollar off. I got $3.01 overage on each one–I had them check first before doing scenarios and it took off the $6 in ad Q and the $5 IP!
Oh, figured it out LOL! 9.99 is regular price! So if you’re gold, the SAMY will be 7.99!!!
Did the $5 off coupon beep? Thanks.
I had them try it first with only the SAMY and it beeped because there wasn’t anything to cover the overage. But when other items were added, it did not beep. HTH!
how any of the samy coupon can we print?? I’ve printed 2 and they’re the same barcode..can I use both since there isn’t a limit??
hi..sorry I’m a little confuse on the samy coupon…what does pdf mean??and when i print 2 it has the same bar code?? is that okay?? idl help!!
please help I’m confused isn’t the 5 off samy coupon a manufacturer’s coupon and the one in their add is as well how can you be using both?
It should work because the one in the ad is a “In Ad Coupon” meaning its a rite aid coupon and the other one is a Manufacturer’s Coupon.
the manager at one of my stores would not accept my sammy coupon …uggh!!! she said because i was using in ad coupon and only 2.99 left…lol..oh and she cant reduce coupon down
Are you in Moreno valley because i just had the same problem. I ended up returning my other items because i got do upset. Two associates said i couldn’t use both. I explained that my mom did it last night with no problems, she said it shouldn’t have been done. Grrrr
Unpleasant experience. I was at Rite Aid and the cashier refused to take both of the Samy coupons. She was condescending about it, and I asked to speak to a manager. He told me that he couldn’t accept both because the coupons were worth more than the item. I informed him about their policy of adjusting the coupon down. He told me that he had never heard of that policy and didn’t know how to adjust coupons down.
I had the same problem
Mine went through fine. The mrg just told me they’ll have to adjust the $5 coupon down to $2.99, which I was 100% completely fine with that. Try another rite aid. I might go back for more.
I had the same problem yesterday, I am going to stop by this morning on my way to work and see if they won’t adjust the samy coupon down. I had a horrible rite aid trip last night as well, no ice cream left, and none of the sleep strips… then the cashier refused coupon for the samy deal
Kim i had the same thing happen to me but they let me use the coupon when I add three more stuff so I ended up paying 1.75 for everything. I also asked about their policy I even had a copy but the manager did not know what adjusting was.
Cynthia, I had something else. The coupons never beeped because she refused to scan them.
that’s terrible, Kim. You should just try again at another store, because the coupons do not beep as long as you have enough items to cover for the overage. Good luck! I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you have a friendly cashier next time

Get $2 UP+ Reward
Final Cost $1.45 each
Josie- when you say that I can do the Eco Tools & Bath products twice, does that mean I can get $8 worth of UPs? I bought 2 sponges today and I received $4 in UPs. Does that mean I can do this once more, or because I bought 2, is that the limit of 2?
Yes ma’am!
Hello lol on the Eco tools there where no sighns for up rewards is it in the add I could not find it please help lol thank you
Yup its in the ad!
Waaaah! Just realized I had some Up bucks that expired today. Has anyone had any luck at using these past their expiration date?
yes, i have used x ups. the mgr just told me i must buy 1 item that’s the same amount as the up. ie: had an x $13 up before so had to buy an item that costs $13 or more. ymmv. hth
I think it depends on the store, the manager told me that they do not accept expired UPS because they do not get reimbursed, he said they used to but not any more.
Does anyone know if the Nail Enamel sale is valid on NYC nail enamel? It wasn’t pictured in the ad. (3$ +Up when you buy 3 nail enamel, and the NYC nail enamel is possibly 99 cents to 1.99)
Yes it is

Hi josie i have a question. I stoped by rite aid and bought two eversleek cond. On sale with $5 up reward and out came a catalina coupon for $4 off one fusion pro razor. Says it a manufacturer coupon with the barcode that starts with a 5. But only redeemable at rite aid. My quest. Is if i ‘ll be able to stack this coupon with a coupon from the inserts for the same product. Thanks.
