?? about rebates

jmorin909

Hi, I have never taken part in the rebates from either Walgreens nor Rite Aid. I was just wondering if I was supposed to save my receipts throughout the month and send them all in at once or if I was supposed to send them in each week. I really wanna start doing this, b/c it sounds awesome. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much, Jennifer

Jennifer, the Walgreens program requires you to save your receipts and send them in with the appropriate pages from the EasySaver catalog (on a rack near the entrance). For RiteAid, the easiest thing is to just go to https://riteaid.rebateplus.com/Default.asp? and enter each receipt as you get it. After a few days (up to 10 or so), the entered receipt will change status showing what you've earned. At the end of the earning period (normally at the end of the month, or the following week), or earlier, if you've bought all the rebate-able items you plan on for that period, simply go in and request your check. Rite Aid is great as you can keep your receipt and do other rebates with it, while with Walgreens you've actually got to send in the receipt (and pay the postage). However, with Walgreens you can request a gift card. With this, they'll put your rebate amount, plus 10%, on the gift card each month...so it pays your tax and the postage.
I've saved literally HUNDREDS of dollars this year using these 2 programs, and we are fully stocked with free hair products, toothpaste/brushes, air fresheners, etc....
Good luck getting started! You'll only regret that you didn't start earlier!

Thanks so much! I can't wait to start. I went to Walgreens already and got a few things, but I could not find a few of the items on the list, so I will try again tomorrow at a different Walgreens. Thanks again, Jennifer

I also have a question about the rebates, with walgreens and riteaid, can you buy the rebate items at anytime thoughout the month or do you have to buy them during certain weeks like with eckerds? thank you.

Sometimes Rite Aid stipulates in their cataglog that an item has to be bought during a specific week of the month, but otherwise you can buy it whenever you want. I bought all of the Walgreens items that were free after rebate already this month. Sometimes if you wait, the warehouses run out.

Absolutely! Snap those monthly FAR deals up at the beginning of the rebate cycle or you probably won't find them by the end. Rite Aid is good about having the majority of their rebate items good all month, and only a few that have specific purchase dates. It's all in their catalog, though, so you can tell before you buy.
