Thursday 12/3/09: Double up on rebates

Yesterday I wrote about the gift of savings from Riteaid, and I also want you to know that you can double up on these rebates. The gift of savings rebate is actually from Riteaid, but Riteaid is constantly offering rebates from manufacturers as well. For example, if you're a parent you go through lots of batteries like we do. Our seven-month-old has to sleep with a noise machine for which we don't have a power cord, so I'm always in the market for cheap AA batteries. This week Riteaid has an offer to purchase $15 in Duracell batteries and get a $5 rebate. They also have a coupon to get a 12-pk for $7.99 (btw, not an impressive deal unless you combine it). Lately the papers have been running 75-cent coupons for Duracell which you can combine with the Riteaid coupon. If there are other similar deals that get you to $25, you'll get the $5 from Duracell and the $5 from RiteAid so you really only spent $15, and better yet if you found another rebate you could use! I'm not a fan of Riteaid's normal prices but this is a way you can get super deals there.
