Coupon Policy - Rite Aid

Print out the new policy and keep it in your coupon binder:

To Our Valued Customers:
Rite Aid gladly accepts the following coupon types as detailed in the coupon acceptance guidelines listed below:

COUPON TYPES:

Manufacturer Coupons

• Manufacturer coupons are found in newspapers, magazines and even affixed to products. The UPC on these coupons begins with a “5.”

Rite Aid Manufacturer Coupons

• Rite Aid Manufacturer coupons generally appear in our weekly circular, on our website and are sent to customers via email. These coupons are labeled “manufacturer coupon” and have a UPC that begins with “49.”

Rite Aid Valuable Coupons

• Rite Aid coupons are labeled “Valuable Coupon” and have a UPC that begins with “48.”

Internet/Print at Home coupons

• Rite Aid will accept internet / print at home coupons up to the equivalent value of $5.00 off.
• A Rite Aid coupon (with the Rite Aid logo) is NOT considered an internet coupon (even if printed off the internet) and is therefore not subject to the $5.00 maximum.

+UP Reward Coupons

• +UP Reward coupons are special coupons earned by a customer in a prior purchase that can be used for any non-prescription purchase with a small number of exclusions that are listed on the +UP coupon. Multiple +UP coupons can be used (subject to the printed exclusions) up to the amount of purchase before sales tax.

Buy One, Get One Free

• Rite Aid accepts Buy One, Get One Free coupons, however only one coupon can be used for each pair of items purchased. A customer can use one “cents off” coupon in conjunction with the item they are purchasing on a Buy One Get One Free promotion (or with a Buy One Get One Free coupon), although the value of the cents off coupon cannot exceed the selling price of the item.
• Buy One Get One Free coupons cannot be used in conjunction with a Buy One Get One Free promotion.

Total Purchase Coupons

• Rite Aid may feature total purchase coupons which discount the total purchase amount based upon meeting specific requirements. For example, $5 off a $25 purchase price threshold coupon.
• These coupons are accepted under the following conditions:

• • The coupon is valid and in date; only one total purchase coupon per transaction.
  • Total purchase equals or exceeds $25 before tax (before any coupons are applied).
  • Coupons for individual items can also be used including another “48” coupon that is tied to an item in the transaction.
  • Provided the total of items purchased is equal to or greater than the purchase requirement, other coupons can be used in conjunction with the total purchase coupon.

ACCEPTANCE GUIDELINES:

General Guidelines:

• Coupons must be valid and in date; Coupons cannot be exchanged for cash.
• Register will validate coupon through scanning or keyed entry of the coupon UPC number.
• In the event that any item’s selling price is less than the value of the coupon, Rite Aid will accept the coupon in exchange for the selling price of the item. Coupon redemption can never exceed the selling price of an item and no cash back is allowed.
• When making a return for a product that had a coupon attached, Rite Aid cannot refund cash for the value of the coupon and cannot return the coupon that was used.
• Rite Aid reserves the right to not accept any coupon where the validity or the coupon cannot be established.

Multiple Coupons

• More than one coupon can be used on the purchase of a single item under the following conditions:
  • All coupons match the item being purchased.
  • The total of the coupons is equal to or less than the selling price of the item before sales tax.
• No more than one “48” Rite Aid Valuable coupon, one “49” Rite Aid Manufacturer coupon, and one “5” Manufacturer coupon can be used on a single item. Rite Aid may accept up to 4 identical coupons for the same number of qualifying items as long as there is sufficient stock to satisfy other customers within the store manager’s sole discretion.

Gerber Grow Up Plan

Since 1967, Gerber Life Insurance Company has provided quality life insurance, especially for young families on a limited budget. Give your children the protection they deserve. The Grow-Up® Plan from Gerber Life Insurance. $5,000 to $50,000 of whole life insurance protection for low childhood premiums that never increase. Coverage automatically doubles at the age of 18 with no increase in premiums.

The Grow-Up Plan protects your child or grandchild while also starting a nest egg he or she can borrow from later on. Guaranteed future insurability. Your child or grandchild will have several opportunities to buy more coverage as an adult even if they cannot get insurance from other companies. Parents, grandparents and permanent legal guardians may apply when children are 14 days to 14 years old.

This is a really neat thing to get your children setup with because the value doubles when they turn 18 and they can withdraw all the premiums paid up to that point at any time like a savings account. I know a lot of Grand Parents who have gotten this for their Grand Children as a way to help them save up some money or have the option of keeping the insurance as they get older.

Someone asked if we will really go through all that cereal. The answer: YES. We actually will. Which is why I buy so much of it! If I can buy it NOW for just over $1, I DO!!! I don't want to be running out on a Tuesday at 4:30pm for a $4 box of cereal. I feel the same way with salad dressing and BBQ sauce, and those things have a ridiculously long shelf life.


Also, we donate to our church. Currently they have more groceries than people picking them up, but when the food pantry gets low we literally fill it back up.

Publix - Item vs. Unit

Do you know the difference?

Apparently most of us don't.
Today, Publix nearly refused to let my sister buy 20 Whiska's Cat food trays. Apparently they are now only letting you buy 10 UNITS of anything.... They werent on sale, but she had BOGO coupons for them. Coupons are reimbursed by the manufacturer and the company not only gets full face value, but $.08 on EACH coupon. That adds up...if only from my household!

If the coupon says BOGO, then 1 deal is a Unit, right? The manager kept switching the words around. For somethings a sale was a unit, other things an item was a unit.

What if she didn't have coupons but wanted to pay straight up cash for all 20 trays of cat food? They said she could not. It is 10 per person, period.


What are your thoughts on this? She wasn't clearing a shelf, she was trying to buy a weeks worth of food for 2 cats.
