WOW! Rite Aid is happenin' BIG TIME this week. I went to Rite Aid this morning before WW and after WW. I did FIVE separate transactions. I did three transactions this morning before WW, then after I went to a different Rite Aid, and then I couldn't help myself as I was only $3 away from hitting the $100 mark for the Winter Rewards, so then I had my driver (my husband) take me on back to "my" Rite Aid so I could grab a few more things. So, here's what I got today.....

Wow, today was a good day!!!!

So, without my savings or coupons today I would have paid $289.05, but I only paid $8.93!

On a side note, if you have multiple VV accounts did you notice that you are now having to print from different computers? By the way, make sure you double check your VV coupons after printing them. I printed from three different accounts, but some of them "reprinted" from one of my other accounts even though I was logged into one of my other accounts. So, I was thinking I was printing from three separate accounts, but when sitting down and looking at the names and the bar codes some of them were duplicates of coupons I already had. I had noticed that when I was out shopping some other couponers were having the same issue when going up to the cash register. Thank goodness I noticed mine last night. I sure would hate to get up there and have to "redo" and order.

Okay, good luck and have fun. I hope you get what you are looking for. Please feel free to come back and share....
