Last night while teaching a coupon class I stumbled across a GREAT deal on toothpaste this week (11/6 – 11/12) at Rite Aid. Even without any coupons you can still score 4 tubes of toothpaste for $3.50 plus sales tax.
When you shop at Rite Aid you earn Up Rewards. These are basically Rite Aid coupons for a certain amount off your total.
This week at Rite Aid they have Colgate Total Advance Toothpaste (4 oz) on sale for $3.50. When you purchase it you get $3.50 in Up Rewards. So in coupon math it is FREE. However you can buy four of them with your Rite Aid Wellness card (which you must have to do any of the transactions) so this can be a big chance to stock up!
Also in the 10/30/11 Smart Source Insert there was a coupon for this item. So feel free to use that on your first transaction if you have it.
Transaction #1: Colgate Total Advance Toothpaste $3.50
Price Out Of Pocket: $3.50 plus sales tax
Plus get $3.50 in Up Rewards
Transaction #2: Colgate Total Advance Toothpaste $3.50
Pay With $3.50 in Up Rewards from Transaction #1

Transaction #4: Colgate Total Advance Toothpaste $3.50
Pay With $3.50 in Up Rewards from Transaction #3

So in the end you have 4 tubes of toothpaste and $3.50 in Rite Aid credit you can use on something else!
If you are in Hampton Roads and need somewhere to donate the toothpaste I have a suggestion!
