HOT Easter Candy Deal at Rite Aid!

2011-04-04T20:24:00.001-04:00

Like Chocolate? Plan on buying some for Easter Baskets? Well listen up, heres a deal for you!

Rite Aid has a few kinds of candy bags at 2 for $4.88 or $2.44 a peice then you get $1.00 Up reward. There is also a Hershey's Dealgoing on for when you spend $20.00 on their chocolates, you get back a $10.00 Up reward.

This is what you can do (and what i did!).

9 bags of mixed and matched Reeses Peanut Butter Eggs and Hershey Kisses - $21.96

Use a $3.00 off $15.00 or more survey coupon ( these print on the bottom of reciepts! )
Also use 3 of the $1.00/3 Reeses Peanut Butter Cup or Hersheys Miniatures, Hersheys Kisses, Cadbury or Whoppers BAGS.

Your new total will be - $ 15.96 pay the $15.96 and get back $14.00 Up rewards making it $1.96 for 9 bags of easter candy!!!!

If you have $15.00 Ups, you can pay with those pay .96 out of pocket and get back $14.00 Up rewards.

*If you do not have the 3.00 survey coupon pay $18.96 and get back $14.00 ups making it $4.96 for 9 bags. Still a great deal!!

Heres my scenario, math breakdown..

9 bags- $21.96
- 1.00/3 x 3 = $18.96
-3.00/15.00 =$15.96
- $15.00 Ups = .96
