Rite Aid $5 Challenge – week of 11/7/10

Centsable Momma has a very cool post regarding Rite Aid Deals, read below:

The goal of this Rite Aid challenge is to come up with up to 3 scenarios where the total spent out of pocket is $5, while still growing your +UP Rewards (or get back cash through Single Check Rebates – SCR). I’m going to assume that you start out with zero +UP Rewards to start with, or it makes it too difficult for others to follow.

If you do have +UP Rewards to start, you can reduce your OOP to almost zero.
For more information on the abbreviations used in this post, please see Coupons 101. For more information about shopping at Rite Aid, visit Rite Aid 101.
You will need a Rite Aid Wellness + card. You will also need to sign up for an SCR and Video Values account and link your RA Wellness card to your Upromise account to take advantage of any Upromise eCoupons.
Please visit Keeping the Kingdom First for additional Rite Aid $5 scenarios.
If you don’t happen to have the Rite Aid booklet or did not print out the required October Video Values coupons…no problem.  You can still do the scenarios, with just a bit more OOP.
