    I found the elusive rite aid dental coupon book today & asked 3 cashiers at my store before one knew about it-so keep asking if you haven’t found it yet!
    It was behind the counter & is the same type/size as previous rite aid coupon books they have had.

    It is a good week to shop at Rite Aid. Followed the example above and added a few things. I bought:
    Pantene shampoo and conditioner. Used the $3 coupon. Got $2 in Up Rewards.
    2 Crest Pro Health toothpastes. Used 2 $.75 coupons. Got $6 in Up Rewards.
    Revlon tweezers and nail trimmers. $2.99 each BO get 50% off one. Used $2 Revlon Video Values coupon. Got $4 in Up Rewards.
    2 Axe Deodorants. 2 for $9. Used $1.00 and $2.00 Video Value coupon.
    Dove Shampoo and conditioner. 2 for $7. Used $1.00 and $2.00 Video Value coupons.
    Got $5 in Unilever Up Rewards.
    Dawn dish washing liquid. $.47 after $.50 coupon.
    The bottom line. $22 in coupon savings. Paid $19.44 and got $17 in Up Rewards.
    I paid $5 of the $19.44 by using Up rewards from a few weeks ago.

      Great!
      Just in case you don’t know-to lower your out of pocket costs you can buy part & use the +ups you got to pay for the next batch.
      Depending how much time you want to put in to it-you can do it many times, or twice (just watch & if you are holding up the line-let other people go ahead of you if you choose more than two-to be courteous and not have people annoyed at “those couponers”:-)

    There was also a July VV coupon for $2 off Revelon nail beauty tools. After using that coupon and getting the ups it is a huge MM and worked fine for me.

    I couldn’t find it in mine. Looked through three times.

      “Word on the street” is that the Oregonian doesn’t get Revlon or Garnier cpns. Someone must think we don’t care about personal hygiene or beauty.

    did the Oregonian get the Revlon coupon? In either insert?

      We didn’t get it in Tri-Cities, otherwise my deal would have been even better. Still a great moneymaker without the coupons!
