I stopped by Rite Aid yesterday to snag some great deals. Here's how they panned out.

Then I hit Walgreens to grab the free Electrasol, but they were out of stock. So I pricematched to Walmart later in the day and got each box for $1.o6. Not bad!

Buy & Save Promo @ Rite Aid

For those of you working on your Buy & Save promo at Rite Aid this month, here is a list of all participating brands. The promotion ends 1/22/11.

Here's how it works -- items throughout the store are marked with the "buy & save" decal, and count towards your total. A running total is printed on the bottom of your receipt throughout the month, and your total is tallied automatically. Once you hit the $100 mark of eligible products, your bonus $20 +UP Reward prints automatically at the bottom of your receipt.

Note: Your total is tallied based on pre-coupon prices (yay!), but the "free" item from a BOGO sale does not count toward your total.

*Hot* $3 and $5 Nature Made Vitamin Coupons!

Right now at coupons.com you can print a $3 Nature Made coupon (using zip 39211) or a $5 Nature Made coupon (using zip 93035). Don't forget to print two of each! {Thanks, Hip2Save!}

These will be on sale BOGO next week at Rite Aid, so any vitamins $10 or less will be free after sale & two $5 coupons! Wahoo!

$10 Nature Made Vitamin
$0 Nature Made Vitamin (BOGO)
-$5 MFQ HERE x 2
= 2 FREE!

Rare - $1 Classico Coupon

Right now you can print a $1 off coupon for Classico pasta sauce. I'd recommend printing two per computer and holding onto these for a sale, because they're fairly rare!
