Free diapers at Rite Aid

At the Workshop on Saturday several people asked me how I get cheap diapers. My answer? Shop at drugstores. Only buy your dipes at drugstores. Forget Target, forget Wal-mart.

Here's a great scenario for you this week!! If you live in Nashville area and haven't shopped at Rite Aid before, but would like to try, I recommend shopping at the West End store (the one across from Centennial Park/Wendy's/Vanderbilt, on that weird corner) in the evening or weekend. My favorite Rite Aid employee ever transferred there from my store a few months ago. She's an Asst Mgr/lead (whatever her title is) and her name is Brennan. She is a couponer and understands how coupons work. She'll override questionable things (like combining a bogo mq with a x/xx mq and a bogo sale) and is really awesome! She works nights and weekends (she's in school), so go see her and tell her Brandy said hi! :)

ETA: Sorry! It's the mega packs, so do this...

For the scenario, I am using a $2/1 coupon
ETA: There are new $2/1 Huggies q's HERE !

Go HERE to see how to get the Nature's Bounty coupons and info about printing them, then do this!

I have Huggies for this scenario, but if you prefer Pampers, those are on sale with the same deal and the last P&G insert had a $2/1 Pampers coupon.

  1. In my sale paper, the Big Packs are $19.99, with like 76 diapers.

    The BOGO 50% diapers don't have a price, but have like 40 diapers. If I remember correctly, these regularly cost about $11.99.

    $17.99 seems like alot, since twice the amount of diapers are only $2.00 more?

  3. I haven't looked, but I think this is the price. Crystal, you'll have to let us know. :) I know the smallest size (mega packs) are $11.99, but I'm not positive about these.

  6. Hm, I guess I haven't seen these Mega packs. I think it was Jumbo packs I bought week before last for 8.99, regularly 11.99.

    LOL, Crystal...after the past few days of shopping I was determined to take a couple days break, but by this evening I was regretting not going to Food Lion and Rite Aid today and wanted to go tonight. If it wasn't 30 miles I would have!

  7. What is a VV coupon and where do I get them?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Anon, VV stands for Video Values. You go to Rite Aid and sign up and watch short commercials to earn coupons. I have a post about it previously- if you click on Rite Aid on the side you can read through my previous Rite Aid posts. HTH!
