Simple Shopping List
Let’s create a very simple Rite Aid transaction:
Gift card: Spend $25 on Listerine, get a $10 gift card
Rite Aid store-specific deals:
- Spend $30 on Advil (buy one, get one 50%), get $10 back (in BonusCash, or BC)
- Spend $12 on Listerine, get $6 BC, limit 2 (we will do this deal twice)
- Spend $60 in a single transaction, get $15 BC
Breakdown
Buy (2) Advil at $10.99 (one is $10.99, the other is half off, or $5.49)
Buy (2) Advil PM at $10.49 (one is $10.49, the other is half off, or $5.24)
- Total for Advil: $32.24
Buy (4) Listerine at $6.49
- Total for Listerine: $25.96
Buy (2) clearance organic food spices/seasonings at $.94
Total for spices: $1.92

Breakdown (continued)
$60.05 total (before tax)
(Spend $60 get $15 BC applies; we’ll look at this later)
Coupons:
Use (4) $3 Advil coupons
Use (4) $1 Listerine coupons
- New total (before tax): $44.05
Breakdown (continued)
Pay $44.05 (before tax)
BonusCash received:
Get $15 BC (for spending $60)
Get $10 BC (for Advil)
Get $12 BC (for Listerine)
- Total BC: $37
$44.05 - $37 = $7.05
With the $10 gift card, this transaction was free—PLUS, you got paid almost $3 to shop!
Points to Consider
This was a great deal, for obvious reasons. What makes it even better is when you already have $44 in BonusCash in your account, so you do not have to spend any money out of pocket!
While you have ended up spending what is essentially $7 in BonusCash, the $10 gift card of actual cash money more than compensates!
The transaction also included a couple of actual food items, making it an even better deal!
