Here are the best deals I see for this week. Southern Cali Readers–This Ad runs 10/12-10/ 18 New to Rite Aid? Learn to shop at Rite Aid HERE. Watch the Rite Aid Video Values HERE
I’m hoping this double dips: Garnier Sham or Conditioner 25.4 oz is 5.99 and you get 5UP wyb 15. Also, in the regional section the Garnier Sham/Cond 10-13 oz or Stylers is get back 5UP wyb 15. Using the B1G1 Garnier MQ (buy any 25.4oz sham/condd and get any 13oz sham/cond free) will hopefully trigger BOTH! I don’t know the prices for the smaller shamp/cond, but I’ll be at my store in the morning and will report back!
Yes, please let us know, as I am hoping to do the same deal today as well! I’m also wondering if you could use three separate $1/1 MQs plus the B1G1 MQ on 3 large-size Fructis bottles and still get 1 small one for free—I’m thinking probably not.
At my store, the price on the smaller shampoos and conditioners is $3.99 ($3.19 with Gold discount). And yes, they apply toward the regional $5 UP deal.
i did my math on the gain detergent on sale for $5 .. when you buy 4 with 2 -$2 off coupon for the four detergents that im buying. with up rewards it goes down to 2.25 per item. is that a good price for the gain detergent? i know the cheer is a better price but i dont have those coupons.
I only use Gain and sometimes Cheer, for me is a great price for both but lately I have noticed that the Cheer at my store has only 40oz versus Gain 50oz. Both detergents smell pretty good
For the Trident deal there’s also the $0.25 VV coupon that can be used. On my receipt this week I got the $2 RA Centrum Flavor Burst coupon that makes the deal even better. The Spinbrush scenario is actually cheaper than listed since it’s BOGO 50% off ($5 +up wyb $10). $8.99 + $4.49 = $13.48 – (2) $2 printables = $9.48 – $5 +up = $2.24 each.
I got that coupon too, and I’m so glad I’ll be able to use it, I hate letting them go to waste. A few weeks ago I received a Catalina for a free box of Breathe Right, they’re on sale with a $2 +Up, making them a $2 money maker!
I’ve never couponed at Rite Aid but lately I’ve been watching videos of everyones hauls and I have to say Rite Aid is looking pretty good lol. I just had a quick question, can you do multiple transactions in one day? I’ve seen people do one transaction one day and then the next day do another?? I’m kind of confused.
Recently they changed the policy on using your up rewaeds. You can’t use them till after 6 AM the following day. So it is less OOP if you can return the following day and us your up rewards.
It probably has to do with UPs not being available for use until 6am the next day. I usually do the same thing since I want a lower out of pocket. But you could do multiple transactions the same day if you dont mind the higher out of pocket. The savings are all the same in the end though.
When u need to buy for example 2 items to get an up reward.. if you choose to buy 1 item one day and the second item the next day will you still get the up reward or do do u have to buy both items on the same transaction?
You have to buy them both in the same transaction. You can only split up the deals where you have to reach a certain dollar amount to get the rewards, such as buy $10, get $5.
I have what may be a really dumb question. The AMC gift card deal Buy $25 get $5 up rewards since its giving an up reward can you use up rewards to buy the gift card?
You get the Up reward after purchasing the gift card, but I still don’t think you can use any Ups on a purchase of gift cards since the wording on the Up’s says it can’t be used on ‘prepaid cards’. I wish, that’d be nice!
You can’t use +Up rewards towards your gift card. However, there is a loophole. I use Load2Card +Ups and the Load2Card +Ups automatically covered most the cost of the other stuff I was buying and then my manufacture coupons went to paying down some of the gift card price. This might work with paper +Ups as well.
I use paper up rewards to do the same thing with milk. If I have manufacture’s coupons for other items in my transaction, I know that I can use the same amount in up rewards to lower my out of pocket, even though technically I can’t use rewards to pay for milk.
I just did the “Home” paper towels deal, and am happy to report that it is not a typo! I biught 2 8-pks at 6.99 each, got back (2) $4UPs. Nice deal. Thanks!
You’re welcome, Josie! And, no, I was at the Hot Springs store. There were two packs left on the marked shelf (only 4 total when I got there), but I know that they keep tons of extra tp & paper towels on the next aisle over, as a sort of overflow area for paper products on unmarked shelves. So if you go there and don’t see any at first, be sure to look good and/or ask! So sorry I couldn’t reply sooner, I’ve been taxi-mom all afternoon.
The Purex deal worked out good with gold discount $5.19 and got back a $4 +up reward so $1.19. My store’s higher priced though ($6.49 shelf price) so with those that have it for $5.99 or $4.79 with gold that’s only $0.79 after $4 +up reward.
It’s regularly $13.49 but with my wellness discount I got it for $12.14, so it’s only $5 with the +up. A great price, they’re expensive products, so I’ll be able to stock up on a few of my faves now. (I’m up in Lake Arrowhead, btw)
The Trident double dipped for me (regular ad and bonus ad have 2 different deals) . I bought 3/$3 – BOGO free MQ – $0.25 VV = $1.75 and I got back (2) $1 +up rewards.
Found some good deals. The skinny cow singles are .99 and wyb2 you get $1 up. I had a bogo free (RP 7/29) so they end up being free. The 2-3 count nonsense socks start at $5.49 at my store so $4.39 after my gold discount and you get a $4 up.
The blistex if you have a gold discount came to $2.23 and I got the $2.50 back. Moneymaker with no coupons. Also the Bedhead with gold discount came from $14.49 to $11.59, $4.59 for the conditioner seemed pretty good.
Select Lysol, Airwick, and Mr Clean products are on sale, 2 for $5. If you haven’t already used your $3/2 Lysol RA video value coupon (expires 10/13), it makes for a nice deal this week for either wipes, all purpose cleaners, bathroom cleaners, or toilet bowl cleaners: Buy 2 Lysol items for $5 – $3/2 RA coupon – $.50/2 printable coupon (from Lysol site) = $1.50, or $.75 each.
I bought the toilet bowl cleaners; they are the nice, big 24 oz size!
I just got a Double dip on the ANSWER pregnancy tests! Not sure how it worked. I got 3 boxes and recieved the following Ups+:;
$1 from test, (2) $2 from lab strips, (3) $3 from Answer test / strips. Get the strips!
I just got a Double dip on the ANSWER pregnancy tests! Not sure how it worked. I got 3 boxes and recieved the following Ups+:;
$1 from test, (2) $2 from lab strips, (3) $3 from Answer test / strips. Get the strips! Came out to .99 for the strips and 1.99 for the test!
I was able to use my two $.25 stride video values coupons on the Stride ID Gum deal. $.50 mm on 2.
And I hate that the +up rewards are no longer immediately available. I was always respectful of other customers and the clerks, but I suspect RA do not want customers rolling the rewards on serial same-day transactions. They probably think that busy customers will just go oop to get everything in one trip–providing an additional opportunity for the customer to miss +up expiration dates!
Thx for all you do, Josie; It’s nice to have a place to get California deals!
Has anyone tried the Revlon deal? Does the BOGO 50% apply to foundation and powder? I really want to use the $5 mfg coupons before they expire on October 14th.
The Nice’n Easy foam color is $2.00 if you have the gold discount.
Reg price 9.99
20% discount 8.00
I used $2.00 MC
Paid 6.00 and got 4 UPs
Look out for boxes with free Venus razor attached or free 6 month Shape magazine.
It’s a very nice paper towel, in my opinion. 2-ply, thick, and works well! It’s way better quality than other generics, and better than Sparkle, I think. Hope that helps.
Can anyone tell me if any stores in Moreno Valley still have cheer detergent in their shelves? Got my coupons today and wasn’t able to go but wanted to ask before heading out tomorrow. Appreciate anyone’s help if they know where I will find some
Today I found the 7 pair of cushioned quarter top socks for men on clearance for $3.49 and a$4 up prints. This is a different up reward from the 2-3 pack that’s also going on.
At Rite Aid you accumulate points when you make purchases or fill prescriptions. Check the bottom of your receipt to see how many points you have. When you reach 500 points, you get to the silver discount, which is 10% off; and when you get to 1000 points you get the gold discount, which is 20% off. If you have earned this, you get whichever discount is better during a sale. So, if the sale price is greater than 20% off the shelf price, you don’t get an additional 20%.

My Name is Josie and I live in sunny Southern California and I am a stay at home mom to three beautiful boys. We all know that living in California is a task of it's own and saving in California IS possible! I started this blog mainly to share all the awesome deals out there and show others how to save in any area of life. Even though you may make the commitment to be frugal and pinch your pennies doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice!
I see alot of people post about monthy deals at rite aid. Do you know where you could go to find out those deals? Thank You
Albert, they are listed only throughout the store (on tags) under the product. There is not a list to refer to.
I’m hoping this double dips: Garnier Sham or Conditioner 25.4 oz is 5.99 and you get 5UP wyb 15. Also, in the regional section the Garnier Sham/Cond 10-13 oz or Stylers is get back 5UP wyb 15. Using the B1G1 Garnier MQ (buy any 25.4oz sham/condd and get any 13oz sham/cond free) will hopefully trigger BOTH! I don’t know the prices for the smaller shamp/cond, but I’ll be at my store in the morning and will report back!
Thanks yellow please let us know!

Thanks, Paula!
There is also a bic razor deal in my ad. Buy one get one 50% off. Plus get $2.00 up reward.

there is a rebate inside some arm and hammer sonic toothbrushes. it’s only for up to $5 of your purchase price, though!

I don’t see this coupon (on Facebook). Is it still available?:
$1/1 O.B. Product printable

Thanks Mary! I want to do that deal too
Did you go to the Winchester store? Just want to know where I should shop today 
You’re welcome, Josie! And, no, I was at the Hot Springs store.

Thanks for letting us know. Do you know if shelf price. I’m guessing the sale price $6.99 is better than gold discount?
I meant do you know the shelf price?
The shelf price is 8.99 so sale price is better than gold
The Purex deal worked out good with gold discount $5.19 and got back a $4 +up reward so $1.19. My store’s higher priced though ($6.49 shelf price) so with those that have it for $5.99 or $4.79 with gold that’s only $0.79 after $4 +up reward.
I just bought a Bed Head shampoo and got a $7+up from it, so it’s not a typo either!!!
gina can you tell us the cost at your store?
It’s regularly $13.49 but with my wellness discount I got it for $12.14, so it’s only $5 with the +up. A great price, they’re expensive products, so I’ll be able to stock up on a few of my faves now. (I’m up in Lake Arrowhead, btw)

Hi Josie,

hi all, WHAT IS GOLD DISCOUNT?
At Rite Aid you accumulate points when you make purchases or fill prescriptions. Check the bottom of your receipt to see how many points you have. When you reach 500 points, you get to the silver discount, which is 10% off; and when you get to 1000 points you get the gold discount, which is 20% off. If you have earned this, you get whichever discount is better during a sale. So, if the sale price is greater than 20% off the shelf price, you don’t get an additional 20%.
Looks like Nivea lotion may be a possible double dip. Can someone confirm? Weekly and monthly are both buy $15 get $5UPR.
Is the summers eve coupon out? I can’t get it to work:(
