I LOVE you gals… you are all so inspiring to me !!!
Thank you for all your hard work,

Thanks so much for sharing Sandra!


























I was told at my last two visits to RA that you could roll UPS anymore in same day. that they didnt become valid until next day? Is this the case everywhere? Did this reader do multiple trips over multi days?
Angela, my Rite Aid has no problem letting you roll the +Up Rewards. In fact they let me use their scissors to clip them off my receipt. Lol. I did these 3 transaction all on the same day. =)
I am in Portland, and none of the Rite Aids i have been to since Jan 1st will let me roll the UPS. I have been told that it’s a new rule effective Jan 1st and that the UPS are not valid until 6am next day.
I always ask the cashier first, but, I haven’t had any issues rolling them in the same day across the river in Vancouver. Probably not worth the sales tax to come over here though…j
oh geez sorry I meant could NOT use in same day
Excellent job, Sandra!
the other day my rite aid wouldnt let me use more than 4 of the same coupon in the same day (even though the coupon didnt specify this). The manager said that the coupons manufactures are now saying that they cant take more than 4 of the same coupon from a customer within 24 hours….has anyone else heard of this????
My Rite Aid will only allow me to use 4 like coupons in one transaction and they have changed their written coupon policy to reflect that, however, I haven’t heard that it was in response to the manufacturers. There are some companies (P&G and others) that have it printed on their coupons that only 4 like coupons can be used in 1 transaction, it doesn’t say that a customer can only use 4 like coupons in 24 hours.
