I am not much of a coupon user partly because it requires a pretty substantial amount of organization. You know – keeping track of small pieces of paper, expiration dates…having a shopping list. For me getting the “big stuff” organized, like being where I’m supposed to be on time is challenge enough. But this Rite Aid Rebate program might have some potential. I picked up the rebate circular near the door as I entered the store and found a decent deal on Duracell batteries. The deal is this: Spend $20 or more (both regular and rechargeable) and get $10 back as a rebate. I decided to try rechargeables for the first time. The four batteries plus the charger cost $21.99. The rebate (if it really happens) gives me $10 back. Net cost: $11.99 (I’m not sure how they handle tax yet). The cool part about this is how I apply for this magic rebate. I go on line, do a pretty simple sign up, and then put in a few numbers from the cash register receipt: date, store number, transaction number, and register number. I think that was all. The computer then begins a deep dive cross-check on my claim and I just have to wait for a check to arrive — they say I’ll get it in 2-3 weeks. This seems simple…simple is good, but I won’t rave about the program yet until I get my moolah.
