New Reinventing Beauty Magazine in CVS Stores

CVS sells a magazine called "Reinventing Beauty" that is found near the register, the sales fliers or in the beauty aisle.  It is priced at $.99 and contains many coupons.  Many stores do not seem to have it.  Often there will be the coupon inserts lying around for free.  Here are the coupons available in the latest issue (I don't know the date of the issue, but it is reported Salma Hayek is on the cover.

Rite Aid: Shopping Scenarios for the week of 3/4

Thanks to the Krazy Coupon Lady for this post!.
Welcome to this post where we will lay out some extreme couponing deals that will cost you about $5.00 out of pocket each week! First, here’s everything you need to know about shopping at Rite Aid:
Before shopping at RiteAid you should sign up for a Wellness card or get one in your store.  The best deals at Rite Aid utilize the +Up Rewards and the Single Check Rebate (SCR) system.   In addition to the +Up Rewards, which are coupons that print with your receipt (similar to CVS), Rite Aid sends you a monthly check for the total of all your rebates purchased during that month with the SCR program.  You can cash the check as you would any other check.  In addition to the +Up Rewards and the SCR program, you can watch videos on products and receive Video Value coupons.  These coupons can be printed from your computer after you watch the corresponding videos. You can use each coupon once per Wellness card.
