It’s time to shop the drugstores! As you can tell, Rite Aid is on my shopping list again this week!
CVS has been great with the Buy $30, get $10 CVS Cash Cards, but if you want the lowest out of pocket for the most money, I would head to Rite Aid. There are some cool money makers this 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.
- You now have to opy-out if you want your +UPs printed instead of automatically attached to your card.
- +UPs earned can only be used starting 6 AM the next day, so plan accordingly.
What do I LOVE about Rite Aid? Every time you use your loyalty card you earn points.
- 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!

Hi! I'm Isra, aka The Frugalette. I took my family from fancy to frugal in 3 years, with 3 kids and 1 income, oh and found the meaning of life too! To read more about my fancy life gone frugal, 
Hey, I’m new to this, and really liking your blog! I’m so confused by this. You can’t use the UPs until the following day, so are these all on different days? Or is all one day’s worth of shopping? Thanks
Hi Maria! Rite Aid recently changed their policy and now they do not allow +UPs earned one day to be used until the following day (24 hours). I make several transactions to show you how to stretch your budget. Once you start shopping there regularly you will earn +UPs and could actually use past +UPs to pay for things the same day. But if you are starting out and want to follow my transactions, you will have to wait, yes.
