    I contacted Erica from iheartriteaid blog, and she emailed me a transcript of her chat with the RA folks:
    http://www. iheartriteaid. com/2015/03/undisclosed-changes-coming-to-up.html
    (If you read this, delete the spaces before and after iheartriteaid first.

    Unspecified changes are coming……..

      I saw this too Howard-see my comments below.
      Did you happen to get a Lypsyl coupon? There is a printable also. If you just get one, then you could get another one of the $1 items on this +up & both free (carmex or yardley item).

        March 9, 2015 at 9:40 pm

        Was the Lypsyl coupon in the Oregonian? I couldn’t find it. The printable is NLA. I was bummed! I love Lypsyl with its nice flavor and SPF15.

          Not in the oregonian-which is why I asked Howard-as he is visiting out of state & may have it there.
          I printed one just yesterday.
          I also noticed today utterly smooth cream is part of this-even without coupons is .50-pretty good. I had one lypsyl printable so got one, a yardley soap and 2 creams=$1 for 4!

            Elaine-I just checked again & you are right lypsyl is gone! I must have gotten one of the last ones-usually I wait too long & miss out-lucked out this time.

          • Howard says

            March 11, 2015 at 4:41 pm

            My 1-11 Oregonian didn’t have the Lipsyl, and my printer is shot, so no go. I was in Fla this past week, but only the 2-22, 3-1 and 3-8 cpns were saved for me.

    I read on another site that there’s a rumor that RiteAid might be ending their +up program at the end of this month. Does anyone have any info on that?

    Reply
    • Howard says

      March 9, 2015 at 11:54 am

      There were rumors of this on this site’s RA page last week, but nothing concrete. I just sent a contact form to the proprietress of the iheartriteaid page, so we’ll see if she responds.

        March 9, 2015 at 5:39 pm

        Thanks Howard! I must have totally skipped that post last week. It was a LONG week for me. I actually read the rumor on the FreebieShark site. Here’s an excerpt: “the March 29th Rite Aid ad has leaked and shockingly, there is absolutely NO mention of +Up Rewards. Even worse, there is no mention of an new program that will replace the +Up Rewards program.”. I do hope they find another loyalty program to replace the +Ups. Otherwise, their prices are too expensive.

          I saw rumors too on iheartriteaid, so asked my knowledgeable clerk-she said the program is changing-she doesn’t know what to, there are definitely NO +ups on the April ad(s).
          Also asked her if RiteAid asked stores for their input (as I specifically know this store does very good business -since they order for their many heavy couponers) & she said No.
          Hopefully they replace it with something good, as I agree with Elaine, can’t see these stores doing well without it-their base prices are way too high.

          Yes, I understand:-( Hopefully they will replace it with something good. The fact that they want to make sure your contact info is up to date-sounds like they will notify us & I am hoping we can give some feedback-I will say that my store is largely supported by couponers-there are much cheaper stores, if they don’t continue to have great deals. If they are just making changes to counteract fraud, which I know some people do (not us of course :-), then I can support that.

            I asked the clerk at NoPo store today about changes in the program. She pleaded ignorance, said she just knows there are changes coming and that she feels sorry for the couponers. I reminded her that RA probably doesn’t make much off of the rabid couponers, although they do get reimbursed for the mfr cpns. And for all I know, the mfrs might also be subsidizing the +UPs. So any changes may have been driven by the suppliers, not RA. That store was out of all the Irish Spring free stuff today; I got a raincheck but the $2 cpns are good only till 3-14. The stuff won’t be free with the 3-8 $1.50 cpns, but still a good deal.

    Wow, it’s like a ghost town around here!
    Bit of a disappointing trip this week. Went to 2 stores and they were both out of Irish Spring products and Lypsyl lipcare (love this stuff!) and they jacked up the Mitchum deodorant prices again!
    Bleh.

      Kind of feels like we missed the rapture or something! My store was totally out of Irish Spring and they said the warehouse is out. Raincheck. I got the last two Lypsyls and some Tresemme. Oh well.

      Guess I picked a good week to fly to the land of no RiteAids. I did make up a small list based on Melody’s post, so will hit my secret little RA store when I get back in a couple days. I hope TSA doesn’t confiscate the Garnier cpns I got from Mom. (The armored truck idea didn’t pan out.)

        Armored trucks are gas guzzlers anyway!
        You better hope I don’t figure out where you’re hiding your secret Rite Aid!
