Someone on another board said that 30% iff coupons never work on BOG50% off sales for some unknown reason, so I will probably end up returning the items and buying each item separately using a 30% off coupon each time to get the benefit of the 30% coupon.

@my4mainecoons said in Rite Aid 5/19-5/25 $1.66 for a 24 pack of Water (attn: MisterC):

30% off through May 27.

The following comment is not about the water deal, but about the Maybelline cosmetics deal (buy $30, get $10 Bonus Cash). They are having a BOGO 50% off sale. I tried to use the 30% coupon because the 30% off actually saves me a little more than the BOGO 50% sale, but when the cashier scanned all the items and finally my Wellness Card and then the 30% off coupon, he got an error message. The gist of the error was they could not apply the coupon because the sale price is better (that is, cheaper) than the coupon price, but in actuality that is not true. He said there was nothing he could do to force the register to take it and he suggested I call Rite Aid and explain my situation. I bought $35 of cosmetics for my wife, but I should have got an additional $2.50 off by using the 30% coupon because that brings the price lower than the BOGO 50% off sales price. Has that ever happened to anyone else?

@marvomatic said in 16oz Blue Diamond Almonds (Various Flavors) $5.99 + Free Store Pickup:

Is the 30% off Link, only for regular retail with card? Its on sale for $5.99. Sorry! We cant use it on the Blue Diamond Almonds, this week!

Just back from Rite Aid. You can use it. It will scan on sale items, but it gives you the cheapest of either the sales price or 30% off regular retail. Unfortunately, for the almonds it won’t take any money off the price as the regular retail is a whopping $9.99 on these. This offer tracks on the receipt. You could ALMOST get 5 bags for $30 and get $10 Bonus Cash so effectively $20, making it $4 for a 16 oz bag of almonds, but you will be 5 cents short so it won’t work as they don’t round up like CVS does. So I will have to settle for getting 6 bags at an effective price of $4.32 each.

While I was at Rite Aid I noticed Great Grains cereal has an offer too. 2/$5 and $3 in Bonus Cash wyb $12 worth. I bought 5 boxes and paid $9.50 after $3 Bonus Cash, so only $1.90 a box. Be on the lookout as some boxes have $1 freshness peelies on them.

@marvomatic 30% off at Rite Aid w/ FnF q through 5/27.

Link to coupon

So to flesh out the Rite Aid offer a little, Blue Diamond 1 lb bags are $5.99 at Rite Aid this week, but when you buy $15 worth or more of almonds or other select products, you will get back $5 in Bonus Cash. So after Bonus Cash 3 bags of these almonds would be $12.97 after Bonus Cash, or only $4.32 each. Limit 2 offers per card.

@marvomatic said in 16oz Blue Diamond Almonds (Various Flavors) $5.99 + Free Store Pickup:

Rite Aid has the same offer + $15 when you buy 2 plus other items, in the store.

I am not a fortune teller, but I dare say I see more almonds in my near future.

Just back from Walgreens I bought some bags for $5.99 each and a $5 in points on a $20+ purchase coupon spit out of the Catalina machine, so I bought some more and got $5 off. Thanks. OP. Love those Blue Diamond Wasabi Soy Sauce flavored almonds. A good heart healthy snack.

@my4mainecoons said in Staples 12 Sheet Shredder was $139.99 now $34.50. B&M only. YMMV:

My store’s inventory is listed as 2 as well.

Well, evidently BRICKSEEK is not totally accurate. I went to the only store in my area that it said it had stock and they had no stock. I went home and looked at BRICKSEEK again and it still says they have 2 in stock. The girl who helped me said indeed they are going for $34.50, but the closest store is in San Clemente, which is some 36 miles away.

Since I am in the market for a shredder, I looked around and found a deal on another clearanced shredder. Not as good of a deal as the one you had in your thread, but I had ink recycling money to spend so I got a Fellowes 12C shredder (SKU 24343401) for $49.50. On the tag it says it was $119.99, but when you look online it sells for only $99.99. https://www.staples.com/powershred-12c-shredder-cross-cut-12-sheet-capacity-patented-safety-lock-black/product_24343401

It has good reviews albeit only 54 (54 reviews, 4.3 stars) as does the one you posted (1,515 reviews, 4.0 stars).

Shredders are basically throw away items if you do not have a warranty, right? I have a shredder I didn’t use for long (maybe a few months) and now when you turn it on nothing happens. Did the motor burn out or something? I also got it at Staples. Unfortunately no warranty as I bought it on a deal long ago but just got around to using it rather recently.

Thanks, OP. One of my local stores says they have 2 in stock. I will go now and see if they are actually on clearance in my area.

Good deal. Might be helpful to name the store in the title of the thread though.
