Calling all Rite Aid shoppers! Get super excited for some amazing savings, because Rite Aid is running a Plenti Points Palooza during the entire month of September!
Every week, Rite Aid will be running a different Plenti Points promotion:
- Week of 9/3 (this week!) — There are 25,000+ individual Plenti Points offers worth at least $250.
- Week of 9/10 — Earn 2000 Plenti Points when you buy $50 worth of participating items (Limit 2 per household).
- Week of 9/17 — There will be a minimum of 20,000 in individual Plenti Points offers worth at least $200.
- Week of 9/24 — There will be a minimum of 20,000 in individual Plenti Points offers worth at least $200.
Be on the lookout for the details of each promotion in the weekly ad and at your local Rite Aid store! You can also go HERE to check out each week’s deals when they go live. The Plenti Points Palooza deals will reset each Sunday morning at 12:01 a.m CT.
I haven’t shopped at Rite Aid at all as much as I’ve shopped at Walgreens and CVS, mostly because when I was really playing the Drugstore Game in earnest, we didn’t have a Rite Aid in our state. So I had to just see the photos and hear about the great deals from friends and family who did have a Rite Aid.
So I feel like I’m still a Rite Aid newbie… and being back in the store and trying to calculate the deals minus the Plenti points & manufacturer’s coupons and figuring out the best scenarios brought back fond memories of when I was learning how to play the drugstore game at CVS and Walgreens so many years ago when Jesse was in law school!
Here are some things I learned:
- The shelves are very clearly marked with the deals. I was so grateful that not only were the deals listed in the ad, but the shelves also had tags that spelled out the deal details and also told you what the limits were.
- Sign up ahead of time for your Plenti card. You can sign up in-store to get your Plenti card, however, I would recommend doing it ahead of time because some of the deals require you to load coupons to your card via your account. This is very simple to do, but it’s much easier to do ahead of time.
- They calculate the Plenti points based upon the non-percentage off price. By this, I mean that if it says you must buy $18 worth of products to get 400 Plenti points (worth at least $4) and some of the products are on sale Buy One, Get One 50% off, they will calculate your total toward the Plenti points purchase BEFORE they take off the 50% off. I looked online while at the store to verify this and couldn’t find this online, but that’s how it worked out on my receipt.
- They give you a detailed breakdown on your receipt. I loved how they tell you on your receipt exactly how many Plenti points you earned. So if you’re not sure if you did a deal right, you can check your receipt as soon as you check out to verify.
They had all of their summer items marked down by 75%! There were a LOT of great deals in this section! We picked up popsicle molds for just $0.50 after this discount!
My Favorite Deals This Week
Three of my favorite deals at Rite Aid this week are on Crest toothpaste, Oral-B toothbrushes, and Crest mouthwash or Oral-B Glide Floss. You can get all of them for FREE after the Load2Card coupons and Plenti points.
Here are the details on these three deals:
Deal #1
Buy 1 Crest Toothpaste (select varieties — look for the marked tags on the shelf) — $4 with your Rite Aid card
Load the $2 off coupon to your account before purchasing
Spend $2 + tax out of pocket, Get 200 Plenti points (equal to at least $2)
Deal #2
Buy 1 Oral-B Toothbrush (select varieties — look for the marked tags on the shelf) — $4 with your Rite Aid card
Load the $1 off coupon to your account before purchasing
Spend $3 + tax out of pocket, Get 300 Plenti points (equal to at least $3)
Deal #3
Buy 1 Oral-B Glide Floss or Crest Mouthwash (select varieties — look for the marked tags on the shelf) — $4 with your Rite Aid card
Load the $1 off coupon to your account before purchasing
Spend $3 + tax out of pocket, Get 300 Plenti points (equal to at least $3)
You can do each of these three deals two times — which means that you can get six items for free after the Load2Card coupon and the Plenti points!
My kids were QUITE excited with the deals I got using the Plenti offers — especially since I bought some treats that I usually never would buy (hello, Oreos and frozen pizzas!)
