I just got home from a quick to trip to Rite Aid where I got lots of good deals, including this FREE Zippo Candle Lighter! These lighters are priced at $9.99 each and there’s a Monthly +UP deal on these where you get a $5 +UP (limit 2) when you buy one. There’s also a $5 Rite Aid Single Check Rebate available on these (SCR #25) for January (this Single Check Rebate is unlimited). So with the +UP and the SCR it makes these FREE!

How do you get multiples of the in ad coupons? Are they in the ads at the front of the store?
Hi Veronica!
Yes, they’re in the ads located near the front of the store.
Hope that helps!

Paula,
There is a deal on Darr Lea Liquorice right now. $2.99 for the bag and get back a $2 UP. If you have gold, the price drops to $2.39 and after UP reward comes out to $0.40 a bag.
Hi Steve!
Thank you so much for the heads up!
Paula
Steve,
Any idea what the limit on the +UP is?
Paula
Limit is 6 : )
Hi,
Where do you find out what the monthly + UP deals are? Thanks
Aleks
Hi Aleks!
Monthly +UP deals are unadvertised. Most Rite Aids will have yellow shelf tags on their monthly +UP deals. Hope that helps!
Paula
Thanks!
Did you have any issue using an up reward to buy the zippo lighter? I tried today and the up reward beeped. They said because it wasn’t a participating product. Like how you cant buy tobacco products with up rewards. Thanks for you help!
Hi Lindsey,
I didn’t have any trouble at all using +UP rewards to pay for the lighter. Did you try buying the lighter by itself or did you have other products in the transaction with it?
I had a bunch of other products in my transaction as stated in this blog post, but I’m thinking that if I had tried to buy the lighter by itself it may have been a problem.
You may have already completed your Rite Aid shopping for this week, but since this is a monthly +UP & SCR I would suggest trying again when you have other products that you were going to get anyway and add a lighter to the transaction. It should work then.
Hope that helps some!
Paula
Yes that helps! Thank you. I did try buying it by itself. I was wondering if I purchased other items then it would beep through. Thanks for your help! FYI-I have been couponing for three years now and just discovered your blog. I love it! Great job, thanks for all of the rite aid updates! I love shopping there!
Lindsey,
You’re very welcome! I went back to Rite Aid today and picked up another lighter. Looks like as long as purchase $10 worth of other products (before coupons, both MQ & RA) then the +UP goes through with no problem.
I love shopping at Rite Aid too! I get so many great deals there and I’m blessed to have a great, coupon friendly staff at my local RA.
