Rite-Aid TRIPLE DIP but only until Saturday!

I am late to the party here but there is a TRIPLE DIP at Rite-Aid until Saturday I wanted to share with any reader who hasn't seen the info. yet.

This week, purchase $30 worth of Proctor & Gamble items at Rite-Aid to qualify for a $10 Gift Card under Single Check Rebate #77.

There is also a Pantene/Olay Rebate you can send to Proctor & Gamble worth $20 cash when you buy a Pantene Shampoo OR Conditioner AND an Olay Regenerist Anti-Aging Eye Roller.  The form is availabe at www.olay.com and you mail it directly to them.

Go to Rite-Aid and purchase the Olay Eye Roller(it runs approx. $21), a bottle of Pantene(on sale for $3.50 this week)& some other P&G products to get to $30.  *I'm going to use Herbal Essences to fill in my $30 order.  It's on sale for $2.50 each this week.
So my order will look like this....
Olay $20.99
Pantene  $3.50
3 Herbal Essences  $7.50
Total  $31.99

Then use the following coupons....
$5 off $25 purchase Rite-Aid IP Q

Make TWO Copies of your receipt, then submit your original receipt and form to P&G for a $20 cash Rebate on the Pantene and Olay.

The THIRD offer this purchase qualifies you for is the Pink Cookware one. Buy $25 of qualifying P&G items in ONE transaction and you can get the $40 Set of Cookware for free.
There are suppose to be tearpads at participating retailers.  Rite-Aid is one of those retailers!
If you cannot find a tearpad try downloading the form HERE, or they will accept a hand written form -

• include name, address, phone, participating retailer
• include single receipt with items totally $25 circled (copy is OK if necessary, but would prefer original - YOU CAN GET A DUPLICATE RECEIPT FROM RITE AID, just ask!)
• Mail to P&G BCA - Good Cooks Kitchenware Offer, P.O. Box 49221, Strongsville, OH, 44149-0221 - any questions call 1-877-733-5849
  

Thanks to MAVEN OF SAVIN' for the Cookware Info...especially about being able to use a copy of your receipt and that Rite-Aid can print you a Duplicate Receipt when you purchase. ;-)

So I'm out of pocket $19.49 and after I get $20 Cash back, I will have been paid $.51 to buy these items and I'll also get a $10 Rite Aid Gift Card and a Set of Cookware.
AND....if you haven't already topped out, this purchase qualifies for the Gift of Savings Certificate at Rite-Aid.  This $30 purchase will get you to at least the $5 level or boost your total toward the top level of $20.

Now how great is that? 8-))
