Just wondering…how can you buy 1 Mini-Wheats with a $1/2 coupon? Also, the link to the Rite-Aid $1 off takes me to their video ads section, not to a $1 off coupon. Just need some clarification please. Thanks 🙂
@Sheri, the videos are commercials you watch for coupons. look through them for the coupons you want.
@tiffany, Thank you Tiffany. I just hadn’t looked hard enough to find the coupon. I’m still confused about the cereal though.
At first I was too but there is a simple typo. You buy 2 Kelloggs @ 2.44ea. you use the coupon in the from kellogs that you print out and then you use the rite aid $1 off any purchase coupon from there videos. The coupon from Rite aid will not have the cereal on it because it can be used for aanything they are ust suggesting ou use it for the cereal. Then you have $1 +up rewards from the previous purchase to help pay for your current purchase. Which means Out of Pocket you pay $1.88 and get 2.00 in +up rewards for next week or whenever you want to use it.
I got $36 worth of stuff for only $3.14 plus a $1 +UP reward!
