A wee bit more on Rite Aid

Well...ventured out to Rite Aid real quick this afternoon to do some couponing. Before I went I decided to call customer service to ask them a question that had been bugging me for a long time. If you have started watching their Ad Perk videos (can be found at www.riteaid.com) you will find that coupons are attached to each video and can be printed off. I had always thought that these were treated like manufacturer's coupons since they have that title at the top....BUT I WAS WRONG! & I AM KICKING MYSELF FOR NOT ASKING SOONER! also...I am trying not to think of all the other amazing deals I could have had.... :( The lady at 1-800-Rite-Aid was so kind and informed me that they could indeed be used with other manufacturer's coupons...and it worked today at the store!

Wa-hoo for saving lots of money! :)

The other thing I learned however, after an incident upon checking out, and yet another call to customer service is that you cannot use a coupon for above the purchase price. Here is what I mean. Dawn dish soap is on sale this week for $.88. I had a coupon for $1.00 off a certain kind and wouldn't you know...they had it! So I trid to use the coupon and the lady wouldn't let me. So I asked her if she could adjust the price to match the coupon (some places will do this like Target) or adjust the coupon value down to the price of the item (Walgreen's will do this) and was told they could do neither. :( Even the nice guy at 1-800-Rite-Aid said the same thing. :( Oh well....it was worth a shot!

All in all...keep watching those videos and clipping those coupons!
