It’s Karen from Frugal RI Mama and I’m excited to be back again blogging for ShopAtHome.com!  This time I’m going to tell you about how you can save money at Rite Aid with their Single Check Rebate program.  It works pretty much the same way as CVS’s Extra Care Bucks and Walgreen’s Register Rewards except these are not instant, these actually come in the form of a rebate check.  But it’s super easy to submit, I’ll tell you all about it.

At the beginning of each month, Rite Aid will put out a Single Check Rebate (SCR) book in the front of the store with the weekly store ads.  This book will contain every rebate for the month.  Some of these rebates are only good during certain weeks and others are all month long.  Now Rite Aid makes it pretty easy for you to know when the best time is to buy these products because they will also tell you each week in the weekly ad if an item qualifies for a Single Check Rebate.

When you get the weekly ad you’ll notice that some products will offer a Single Check Rebate with your purchase.  For example, Colgate Total is on sale for $2.99 and you can submit it for a $2.00 Single Check Rebate.  Now there is also a coupon for $1.00 off Colgate Total so if you combine that then you’ll end up getting it for FREE after you receive your rebate. Not everything will be FREE after the rebate but any money back in rebate form is money saved!

Now in order to receive the Single Check Rebate you must enter some information from your receipt online.  There is no cutting UPC’s or sending in your receipt.  All you need to do is open an account online at www.riteaid.com where it says Single Check Rebate and then each time you purchase something that has a rebate, just enter the receipt information and at the end of the month you can request your rebate check!  It’s VERY easy.  But you must make sure you do not request your check before the end of the month otherwise you can’t submit any more rebates for that month.  You have 30 days after the month ends to submit all your receipts and if you don’t request your rebate check at the end of the month, they will automatically send it to you 30 days after the month ends.  So that’s even easier!

So next time your looking through the Rite Aid weekly ad, notice if any of the items are giving a rebate! It’s another way to save money on everyday products!
