Same for me! This current week that’s finishing was SO full of great deals (I got $262.05 worth of products for just $12.88, plus have $18 UPs left), it will be nice to just focus on a few things this upcoming week. I continue to be amazed at the lack of good candy deals by now. Last year I was already well-stocked for trick-or-treators by now. Hmmmph.
It’s a very regional coupon that I don’t think any SoCal papers got. I know of few people that got it but they were in , I want to say Ohio or Michigan.
Hi Josie,
Was at riteaid today and there is a monthly deal on Nivea body lotion, it’s buy $15 get $5 +UP. There’s a weekly reward for it this week and I was thinking about trying to double up this week.
This week they are on sale 2/$7 and there is a monthly promotion $2 up wyb 2. There is a limit of 2 for the month so if you already receive your (2) $2 ups then your cost would be 2/$7-(2) $2 coupons=$3 or $1.50 each.
Hi all, I went to Rite aid this morning to pick up 4 dial hand soaps. ( my store did not have the Halloween ones) I received 5 $1ups rewards instead of 4.
Does anyone know if I can use two $2 in-ad coupons for Skintimate and then use the $1.50/2 MQ for two bottles? I’m thinking that would make for a good deal.
One of my rite ais let you use two the othe does not. I believe the coupon says one per customer. I had my daughter with me so the clerk sad i could use two because she was with me I origially only had the one out and they clipped another for me .
I just came back from RA and was soo disappointed! I tried to purchase 2 men’s Dove, one smackers and 1 Ajax. Well cashier started scanning my card, then one item (dove) then she grabbed my coupons and scanned one then next item then coupon, well coupon beeped and she said she couldn’t allow it because my balance at moment was only 1. And some change. I had to explain to her that maybe that was because I had uploaded UP rewards so she needed to scan ALL my items FiRST then my coupons. She couldnt figure out what I was talking about so she called manager. She scanned items but AJAX coupon would not be allowed because item was lower value than coupon. I told her that she could adjust coupon value and she said they no longer can do that! What is it with these RA cashiers!!! I left Ajax but will try another store later in week.
This happened to me too It was because I had UP rewards loaded to may card and it brought the total down so low that she couldn’t accept my coupons. I was so upset. I went home right away and switched to paper UP rewards throught the online chat…
I had this same problem when I went in to do a deal after they switched the UpRewards. The cashier gave me the same answer about the coupons, but when I went in the following week I just rung everything up and handed her the coupons. Then I handed the cashier my card and everything went great, so thats how I have been doing my transactions.
I had a cashier tell me to do it that way if you had ups on your card…..scan all items, then hand over q’s, then have them scan the card……otherwise, it will take off ALL your ups first…..
The Bonne Belle deal IS a double dip deal. I bought 7 Lip Smackers @ $1.51 ea ($1.89 less 20%). I used 3 $1/2 PDF coupons (I printed these months ago, expire 12/31/12. I’m not sure if they’re still available). Total after coupons was $7.57 and I received a $5 +Up and a $4 +Up. So a $1.43 MM! These will make great stocking stuffers! Even if you don’t have the 20% off reward or coupons, you could buy 6. Your total would be $11.34 and you would get bat $9 in rewards, so .39 ea WYB6!
And if you are Silver (10% off discount) or have no discount, you can just buy 6 instead of 7 using Tracyfl’s numbers…
no discount:
$1.89×6 = $11.34 – $3 coupons = $8.34 OOP + $9 back in +UPs
with 10% discount:
$1.70×6 = $10.21 – $3 coupons = $7.21 OOP + $9 back in +UPs
My store has them on clearance. A pack of 2 for 1.92. I just bought some and i got both UPs rewards. Thank you Tracyfl for being so brave to tried on the deal and share with us.
Ok. So i understood the vvc its ; use one of $2.coupon Anyway i went to get my nexxus shampoo 9.89 and hair spray 11.69 ( with the 10% discount) for 21.58. – 8.00 coupons – total 13.58 got back $10.00 up! To the real total of $3.58!!! Wohooo!
Btw i also got the hydro razor and cartrige… razor was free. The 4ct cartridge was 12.79 if you get the 10% disc. It will be 11.51 – 10.00 coupons to a total of 1.51 for razor and cartridges!!!!
The Hydro Silk Schick razor and refill was an AWESOME deal!!! After my gold discount and coupons Josie said to use with it, my total came to $0.79, or $2.56 after taxes.
The Schick Hydro deal was a $0.21 moneymaker for me with my Gold discount. The free coupon rang up at $12.99 for me. So, $9.59+$13.19-12.99-6-4=-0.21. Well, technically not a moneymaker since I had to pay tax lol!
Does anyone know it the printed ups are connected to that card? ie. my parents gave me their ups. If I scan my card and try and pay with their ups will it be a problem?
On the Physicians Formula deal BOGO free, you can get 2 Organic Wear Lash Blast Mascaras for Free if you can find one with the Try Me Free sticker on. The rebate form is in their website and the deal expires on 10/31/12.
There is more rebate forms, but I already did most of them. You might want to check their website and see if there is one that you haven’t done. You can end up with 2 free.
So you can do multiple rebates for various Physician Formula cosmetics? I inquired once and was told that it was one rebate per household, so I only did one rebate for the Youthful Wear foundation. If I had known I could do other rebates, I would have purchased other qualifying products…
My store, in Escondido, CA, just north of San Diego, has already switched their sale weeks to Sunday-Saturday. Is that not a Southern-California-wide switch? Or are LA area stores sticking with the Friday-Thursday sale week a bit longer?
Random question… i’m almost to my 20% discount, just curious if anybody knows if i hit my 1,000 points by the end of the year if it will carry over into the next year like my 10% did this last year. I asked a manager a few months ago and she said they won’t be doing that anymore but i’m not sure if she knew what she was talking about lol. Anybody know if they changed their policy? I hope it will carry over. It takes me almost the whole year to get that many points..
If you get 1000 points for Gold before the end of the year, you will get 20% off for 2013 and you will have to get another 1000 points in 2013 to get gold for 2014.
Hi Josie,
I went to my not-regular rite aid and the schick hydro silk $6 coupon would not scan and the cashier would not manually enter it because of the other bogo coupon. I was a little flustered and just cancelled the transaction. If this happens again what’s the easiest way to explain it to get the deal? Really want to get this as a stocking stuffer!
It happens to me this morning too!!!! My cashier told me that either I use the $4 in ad coupons or the $6 coupon. I also printed $4 coupons of schick razor when it was available, and also used the $4 in ad coupon but my cashier will not let me use both of them so I told him to adjusted the coupons down since I am gold member he still would not let me. My mom and I very frustrated so we just cancelled everything. It took us 45 min to drive we are very upset. Please let me know if you guys have any advices for us thank you in advance .
I need some help please if anyone knows the answer. On my receipt today where it shows how much needed to get up. I have a “spend 10.00 get 4 up arrowhead and a total of $9.91. I have no idea what arrowhead is???
Found my answer after looking for it for a solid hour omg the soup and snack purchase was short .91 so I guess I will go back tomorrow for a sparkling ice. I’ll get that 4.00 up lol
I went tonight at Rite aid just for a quick trip and I was able to used the bogo coupon the $6. off on the refills and the $4 in ad coupon had to search for the $6. cuz i coulnd’t fin the coupon and she told i could pay for the transaction n if i found she wil return me the money because there was tomany ppl and she was the only cashier so i did n yes i found the coupon but i noticed she didn’t apply another coupon that i had for the physician makeup of $3. off and i told her and she return me $9. back cash yeahh so total oop i pay $14.05 including 3 La Times 2 nyquil 4 dial 6 gums 5 bonne bell,2 physician makeup not abad deal at all yeahh
I tried to do the Nexxus deal as stated by Josie….. cashier said she couldn’t apply the $2 Video Value coupon because it states on there “Cannot be combined with any other offers” (’cause I was also using the two $3 manf coupons…). I said forget it, take it off. Luckily my +UPs were not expiring today so I didn’t want to get into it. She did apologize and said ‘they’re cracking down’….
You can only stack coupons if one is a manufacture coupon and one is a Rite Aid coupon. If they are both manufacture coupons, you would have to buy 4 items.
Sorry, if this question has already been asked. On the Nivea deal you posted…it says limit 4…does that mean I can get 4 – $5 rewards or I can only do that exact deal once because that’s 4 items? Please clarify for me! Thanks Josie!!
indicate my favorite deals. Don’t understand the match ups? Check out this post
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!
Only thing on my list tomorrow is Loreal Haircolor, Suave lotion, Mentos, and Nexxus.
There’s till no good Halloween candy deals.
Same for me! This current week that’s finishing was SO full of great deals (I got $262.05 worth of products for just $12.88, plus have $18 UPs left), it will be nice to just focus on a few things this upcoming week. I continue to be amazed at the lack of good candy deals by now. Last year I was already well-stocked for trick-or-treators by now. Hmmmph.
I know…I had tons of free candy for the trick or treators last year at this time…I can’t believe that I might have to actually pay for some this year!
I was thinking the same thing…
Ditto!
anyone in socal get the $2/1 suave lotion?? not in californian, la, or press
just wondering which paper got the $2/1
It’s a very regional coupon that I don’t think any SoCal papers got. I know of few people that got it but they were in , I want to say Ohio or Michigan.
I live in Ventura, California and I got the 2/1 suave lotion in the LA Times
thanks josie! also, wanted to point out that your layout is always easy to read! can’t say that about all blogs y’know.
Thank you
Hi Josie,
Was at riteaid today and there is a monthly deal on Nivea body lotion, it’s buy $15 get $5 +UP. There’s a weekly reward for it this week and I was thinking about trying to double up this week.
jialing, i saw that too so i bought 3 at $6.39ea, only 1 $5UPR printed.
jialing, i saw that too so i bought 3 at $6.39ea, only 1 $5UPR printed =(
jialing, i saw that too so i bought 3 at $6.39ea (after gold discount, originally $7.99) only 1 $5UPR printed =(
Is the weekly deal for this week or does it start tomorrow? Maybe it starts until tomorrow that’s why it didn’t print the second $5.00 +up
These are the same deal
aww, that’s too bad but thanks for the heads up! Saves me another trip.
i did that too and got 1 5+ups only. tags says both monthly and weekly. =(
i was disappointed too, it had 2 different tags with different dates =( i was hoping it was another double dip like the L’oreal deal.
Nexcare by 3M first aid & wound care products…. pg.5
$1 get $1+up
My ad says $1 off retail, get back $1 up. Does yours say something different?
you right sorry the tape is $2
i think i read somewhere that they r going to be on sale for $2, then $1 off retail with $1+up…I’ll check tomorrow n let you know…sorry
The cheapest Nexcare tape I found today was $7.49 and the tag said $1 off retail with $1 +up. I didn’t see any $2 tape.
http://www.scotch-brite.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Scotch-BriteBrand/Scotch-Brite/Offers/Four/
For the Nexcare deal, can’t you add the SavingStar Unilever coupon too?
Savingstar does have a save $5 for Nexxus when you spend $20. It will end up a moneymaker.
i cant find the $5 up wyb $15 in nivea product only says 2/$5 in the lip care and 2/$10 in the body lotions? help please do i miss something?
It is a monthly deal that should be advertised in your store
Can someone explain the Dove Men deal for me? thank you!
This week they are on sale 2/$7 and there is a monthly promotion $2 up wyb 2. There is a limit of 2 for the month so if you already receive your (2) $2 ups then your cost would be 2/$7-(2) $2 coupons=$3 or $1.50 each.
My store had 2 stickers on top of each other for all the Dove products and each had different dates. Does that mean they are a double dip?
Hi all, I went to Rite aid this morning to pick up 4 dial hand soaps. ( my store did not have the Halloween ones) I received 5 $1ups rewards instead of 4.
I think the White Tea scented Hand Soap is included in the Halloween promotion for some reason. Did you get one of those?
Yes I did i bought 1
Does anyone know if I can use two $2 in-ad coupons for Skintimate and then use the $1.50/2 MQ for two bottles? I’m thinking that would make for a good deal.
The in-ad coupon states “one per customer”
My store only allows one in-ad coupon per customer.
One of my rite ais let you use two the othe does not. I believe the coupon says one per customer. I had my daughter with me so the clerk sad i could use two because she was with me I origially only had the one out and they clipped another for me
.
Ajax Dishwash soap are $0.89 and use the $1 Rite Aid coupon from Junta Hispana.
Makes it free!
I can’t find that coupon book at any Rite Aid. Can you tell me where in the store I can find it. Please!
Only some stores I think have it, my co worker just gave me some because I did not find it close to my house
It expires 10/27 though.
I just came back from RA and was soo disappointed! I tried to purchase 2 men’s Dove, one smackers and 1 Ajax.

can any one tell me how does the loreal excellence creme hair color counts for the buy $25.. get 10 up. does it count as 16.98 or 11.98?
Nancy it’s $16.98 unless you have 10%/20% discount. $8.99 is the reg. price so mine rung up at $7.19 each.
On the nexxus … i thought we could only use 1 rite aid vv coupon? Or has that changed?
I have never had a problem using 2 VV coupons when I purchased 2 items. If I have a friend who wants to go in on the deal I use her coupons.
The Bonne Belle deal IS a double dip deal. I bought 7 Lip Smackers @ $1.51 ea ($1.89 less 20%). I used 3 $1/2 PDF coupons (I printed these months ago, expire 12/31/12. I’m not sure if they’re still available). Total after coupons was $7.57 and I received a $5 +Up and a $4 +Up. So a $1.43 MM! These will make great stocking stuffers! Even if you don’t have the 20% off reward or coupons, you could buy 6. Your total would be $11.34 and you would get bat $9 in rewards, so .39 ea WYB6!
Thanks for confirming that it’s double dipping. I wanted to wait before I tried it and yes the PDF is still available with the 12/31 expiration date.
Where do I find the PDF coupon at?
After an intensive google search, I found it here:
http://www.lipsmacker.com/coupons/facebook_COUPONPage.pdf
And if you are Silver (10% off discount) or have no discount, you can just buy 6 instead of 7 using Tracyfl’s numbers…
no discount:
$1.89×6 = $11.34 – $3 coupons = $8.34 OOP + $9 back in +UPs
with 10% discount:
$1.70×6 = $10.21 – $3 coupons = $7.21 OOP + $9 back in +UPs
ERIC!
You da man!
Ok, I’m sure that expression is outdated but so true!
thank you Eric for you intensive google search and share the link for the coupon with us.
Thank you! This will be a great donation item for my child’s treasure box at school!
My store has them on clearance. A pack of 2 for 1.92. I just bought some and i got both UPs rewards. Thank you Tracyfl for being so brave to tried on the deal and share with us.

The Hydro Silk Schick razor and refill was an AWESOME deal!!! After my gold discount and coupons Josie said to use with it, my total came to $0.79, or $2.56 after taxes.
I forgot to mention that I got a $3.00 off any one Venus & Olay refillable razor or cartridges with this purchase, expires 12-14-12.
@ gina. Cant wait to get 20%! ; D
The Schick Hydro deal was a $0.21 moneymaker for me with my Gold discount. The free coupon rang up at $12.99 for me. So, $9.59+$13.19-12.99-6-4=-0.21. Well, technically not a moneymaker since I had to pay tax lol!
Did anyone see my detergent post??
Does anyone know it the printed ups are connected to that card? ie. my parents gave me their ups. If I scan my card and try and pay with their ups will it be a problem?
No
Give your parents phone number to use the UPS that they gave you. I do that when my mom gives me her UPS to spend.
I do this all the time and have never had a problem using someone else’s ups with my card.
On the Physicians Formula deal BOGO free, you can get 2 Organic Wear Lash Blast Mascaras for Free if you can find one with the Try Me Free sticker on. The rebate form is in their website and the deal expires on 10/31/12.

Thanks in advance for any help!
I’m in LA. My ad dates this week are from 10/19-10/27. So we’ll be in sync with the rest of the country starting 10/28.
Random question… i’m almost to my 20% discount, just curious if anybody knows if i hit my 1,000 points by the end of the year if it will carry over into the next year like my 10% did this last year.

If you get 1000 points for Gold before the end of the year, you will get 20% off for 2013 and you will have to get another 1000 points in 2013 to get gold for 2014.
Hi Josie,
I went to my not-regular rite aid and the schick hydro silk $6 coupon would not scan and the cashier would not manually enter it because of the other bogo coupon. I was a little flustered and just cancelled the transaction. If this happens again what’s the easiest way to explain it to get the deal? Really want to get this as a stocking stuffer!
You can show them the Rite Aid coupon policy, where it specifically states that you can used a cents off coupon with a BOGO coupon. http://www.southerncalisaver.com/2012/04/updated-rite-aid-coupon-policy-april-2012/
It happens to me this morning too!!!! My cashier told me that either I use the $4 in ad coupons or the $6 coupon.

I tried to do the Nexxus deal as stated by Josie….. cashier said she couldn’t apply the $2 Video Value coupon because it states on there “Cannot be combined with any other offers” (’cause I was also using the two $3 manf coupons…). I said forget it, take it off. Luckily my +UPs were not expiring today so I didn’t want to get into it. She did apologize and said ‘they’re cracking down’….
For the Nivea Deal could I do this:
6 at 2.50 = 15.00
use (3) 3/2 = 9.00
Pay $6 receive $5 UpRewards
$1 for everything which is $0.17 each
Sorry meant to put 6 nivea lip balms.
Quick question, I have 2 free Nivea lip product coupons. Can I use them in conjunction with the $3/2 coupon?
Example: buy 2 Nivea Lip @ $2.50: use (2) FREE lip product AND (1) $3/2
or would I have to buy 4 at RiteAid?
You can only stack coupons if one is a manufacture coupon and one is a Rite Aid coupon. If they are both manufacture coupons, you would have to buy 4 items.
Sorry, if this question has already been asked. On the Nivea deal you posted…it says limit 4…does that mean I can get 4 – $5 rewards or I can only do that exact deal once because that’s 4 items? Please clarify for me! Thanks Josie!!
a total of 4 rewards
Woohoo!! Exactly what I wanted to hear. =)
I got the RP for 10/21/12 but no nivea coupon
