Welcome to $5 Drugstore Deals! Every week I show you how all the great deals come together in a seamless transaction! Even with couponing, you shouldn’t be spending a lot out of pocket. My goal is to not spend more than $5.99 (usually less) out of pocket and see how far my five bucks takes me!
All the deals I post are best case scenario. That means, using the best coupon available and the best discount. Some deals are regional, all coupons are regional, so always check your ad and do a price check first! It’s an easy way to see how far we can s-t-r-e-t-c-h our hard-earned money! I check all the ads and pick the store I think has the easiest and best deal that week.

Points to remember about shopping at Rite Aid:
- Remember to use your store loyalty card.
- Their cash back program is called +UPs, they print at the bottom of your receipt, and can be used to buy anything in the store, except prescriptions. (they DO expire, so check the expiration date!)
- Rite Aid coupons and manufacturer coupons can be used on one item.
- Sign up HERE for their Single Check Rebate Program.
- Watch Rite Aid Video Values HERE for special coupons to print after.
- After you purchase $500 worth of products (calculated BEFORE manufacturer coupons) your card will get you an automatic 10% off all regularly priced merchandise.
- After you purchase $1000 worth of products (calculated BEFORE manufacturer coupons) your card will get you an automatic 20% off ALL regularly priced merchandise!
**If you are in Southern California, their deals start on Fridays, not Sundays…and No, I don’t know why?**
