For those that dont understand what up rewards means. Up rewards are redeemable for cash at Rite Aid on a future non prescription product, so they can be used on anything. I usually use them on my makeup along with coupons so that its practically
free when on sale. Love up rewards!

Take the coke for example. I paid 10.98 for 3 and got $3 in up rewards back so in reality the 3 packs of soda cost me $7.98 or $2.66 each!Thats less than $ .25 a can!Lots of good deals to be had a Rite Aid and if you time them right woith coupons and sales you can walk out with bags full of stuff and still have all your money.
