Rite Aid - Glucose USB Monitoring System - Money Maker

Rite Aid has an incredible deal on their Bayer Glucose Monitoring Systems for Diabetics who need to check their blood sugar often

Original price is $79.99

This week it is on sale for $29.99

The best part is if you go to the Rite Aid Ad Perks Rewards and watch a 30 second commerical you can get a $40 coupon off the whole system. These coupons are Rite Aid Video Values Coupons and can stacked on top of manufacturers coupons.

How does it work when the coupon is largest then the cost of the item?

Transaction:

Buy 1 Bayer Glucose Monitoring System - $29.99

Buy 12 Qtips Packages - .99 Each - $11.78

Before Coupons - $41.77 plus tax

Use - $40 Video Value Coupon off the Bayer Monitoring System

Total After Coupon - $1.77 plus tax

This coupon is taking off the whole $40 even though the system is only $29.99 so you have $11 in overage to go towards other items.

The only thing with this is that you need to purchase at least another $11 in item in the same transaction, as Rite Aid does not give money back as cash. So anything you spend up to $11 will essentially be free.

Here in Raleigh at The Open Door Clinic in Raleigh they give medical care to the poor and homeless and they accept all sorts of donations such as medical items, bandages, over the counter medication.

So the monitoring system will go to someone in need and all the Qtips will be put in the Bags of Hope that I am working on for all the women at the Helen Wright Homeless Shelter - for a few dollars out of pocket it is a win win situation for everyone!

Even if you pick up the monitor and use the coupon it will cost you nothing out of pocket except the tax. Remember this is an $80 machine that you are getting for free - please consider donating to someone in need, it could actually save someones life.

Please consider helping!

I did the above transaction and with $7.00 I made I was able to buy three Toy Story toys for the upcoming Toys for Tots Drive.

Check your local Rite Aid for summer toys on clearance these were great toys at 75% off.

Really - is there a reason not to donate the medicine - you walk away $7.00 in your pocket?

Thank you

I have been down and out for a while with a nasty virus that landed me in the hospital for four days.

Thank you so much to all my friends who helped me and my family by providing rides, childcare, food etc..

Hopefully I will be blogging soon once some medical issues are cleared up.

I am very thankful for my husband who has been keeping things going at home and steping into my 'MOM' shoes.

Now if I could only get him to go out and get all the great deals to be had......wishful thinking :)
