5/3 - 5/8 Save Big at Rite Aid

I cannot take full credit for all the ideas listed here. I studied many posts on various sites and put together the best ways to save money/make money!

For Rite Aid, it is easy to save money and even earn money by shopping there. If you don't actually need the items that end up being free, you can use them in gift baskets for friends, donate them to a local homeless shelter, or stockpile and have a garage sale!

Rite Aid makes it pretty simple! You purchase your items and when you get home, you get on the computer, enter some numbers off your receipt, and when you are done shopping at Rite Aid for the month, you click on "mail my check" and a check is on its way to you! Do NOT request your check unless you are definitely done for the month. You get one check per month. (Hmm, that is why they call it "single check rebate.")
