Is Rite Aid Possible Facing Bankruptcy Like So many Others?

Here's some interesting news that I just received from DealSeekingMom.com (Thanks DSM!) that I thought I would share with my Rite Aid fans, Kim! We don't have one near us, and I have looked, but I know a lot of people do and they always have really great deals! Sounds like you might should grab them while you can! :)
So, here's the article for everyone:


Rite Aid Deals

With the current rough economy, many businesses are struggling to survive. One of these companies is Rite Aid.

Competition is tough in the drugstore business with large competitors in CVS and Walgreens. Rite Aid has struggled with declining sales, earnings losses for 11 consecutive quarters, as well as a large amount of debt from its acquisition of Brooks/Eckerds.
So what does this mean for you?

If Rite Aid were to file for "Chapter 11" bankruptcy, federal law would allow them to stop honoring gift cards (although they would not be required to do so). If they were to file for "Chapter 7" bankruptcy (which is a total liquidation of the company), then you would be considered a creditor in the bankruptcy case up to the value of your gift card (meaning your gift card would likely have reduced or no value).

So, while it is just speculation that Rite Aid could face bankruptcy, you should be careful with how much money you have invested in Rite Aid gift cards and SCR deals. Make sure you are only spending money that you could afford to lose if something were to happen.

I would suggest that you request your SCR checks as soon as each SCR period ends. Also, you might want to think carefully before you roll your SCR check into Rite Aid gift cards.

Remember - just because a company files for "Chapter 11" bankruptcy, it doesn't mean that they can't emerge from bankruptcy a viable company, like GM has.

Who Uses Coupons The Most, Or Least, And Why?

I love, and couldn't survive without, my coupons! In fact, my wonderful mother in law, Trina, calls me the "coupon queen", and I can't let her down and not live up to the name! :) But I never really gave any thought to who used them and why, or why not. Well, walletpop.com has given it thought. I received this interesting article today and thought I'd share it with everyone.

Who uses coupons? You might think that the most cash-strapped among us would use them most, but studies have shown that upper-income whites make far greater use of them than members of minorities of all income levels. A recent study published in the Journal of Retailing provides some interesting answers as to why the most needy are not the most frequent users.

One surprising finding of the study conducted by Anne M. Brumbaugh of the College of Charleston and and Jose Antonio Rosa of the University of Wyoming was the degree to which the attitude of the checkout clerk can determine our willingness to use coupons.
A clerk's conscious or subconscious negative cues (deep sighs, rolled eyes, terse movements) are enough to discourage all but the most confident from using coupons. On the other hand, a clerk who implies that the customer is shrewd and admirably frugal can inspire the customer to use coupons more often. (Here I have to admit that in the past I've been one of those discouraging factors, frowning and tapping my foot when the person ahead of me in the checkout line pulls out a wad of unsorted coupons.)

I recently took a $1 off of New York Style Bagel Crisps coupon to my local grocer to get a read on the clerk's reaction. My checkout person took and scanned it without giving off any cues one way or the other about how he felt about my using coupons. Was the study wrong? Of course, I'm a white middle-class boomer male, the least likely group to receive a scowl because we're most likely to be a golfing buddy of the store manager. Also, one coupon is not as burdensome as a fistful of them, especially if the customer has to dig them out of his/her coupon wallet while other customers wait in line.


The study also investigated the reason behind previous study findings that even more affluent members of racial minorities don't often use coupons. They cited a study that found "the consistently higher levels of poor service experienced by high socioeconomic status black and high acculturation Latino consumers reduced coupon use by both decreasing their confidence and increasing their embarrassment over coupon use." More affluent white stay-at-home moms and dads, on the other hand, "have incorporated the judicious use of coupons into the image of what stay-at-home spouses should do."

The key finding? Well-to-do white shoppers are confident enough in their affluence that they are not threatened by the attitude of clerks. Those who struggle to keep their financial footing, on the other hand, are very sensitive to the criticism they often receive at the checkout counter, and therefore unwilling to use the coupons they see as symbols of their financial plight.

Coupons are a time-tested strategy for building business, but this study suggests that a store that prints coupons but does not train its staff to treat users as valued, admired customers is shooting itself in the foot. The next time a clerk looks down his/her nose at you when you pull out a coupon, recognize them for the fool they are, and keep on clipping. Don't let the disregard of a clerk cheat you out of the savings.

Have you ever been given, or given someone, the evil eye for using coupons? If so, please share your story. I would love to hear it or your thoughts about this subject. You can leave me a post on the Guest Book on the bottom right! Take care!

7 Ways to Save Money on Your Next Grocery Trip

1. Browse the weekly ads online before you go to the store
Most major retailers (and even some smaller ones) post their weekly circular online. Looking it up before you shop will give you a clear goal when you get into the store. Plus, you'll know what deals you're going to find in each aisle before you reach the aisle, which makes you less likely to pick up that $5.00 frozen pizza for an easy meal if you know spaghetti noodles and sauce are on sale 2/$4.00 four aisles down.
2. Combine online printable and clipped coupons with specials
If you're reading this, the idea of combining coupons and specials is probably not a new concept for you. Here at Deal Seeking Mom, Tara is well versed in the couponing arena, and she definitely covers stores in several different markets with the help of fellow bloggers. It is highly likely that she will do some of this legwork for at least one of the major retailers in your area.
3. Make a meal plan
Start by going through your cupboards and fridge to determine what you have on hand. After you know what you have, see what you can pair with the advertised specials and coupons to make a full meal.
For example, if you have leftover chicken and mushrooms in your fridge, you might be looking for a special on pasta, creamed soup or rice to make a casserole. If casserole isn't your cup of tea, maybe you're searching for deals on mayo and vegetables to make chicken salad.
You'll save money by using every last bit of the food you purchased and not letting it go to waste, and you'll breeze right past unnecessary items you purchased before because you were just buying to fill the fridge.
4. Avoid impulse buying
By walking into the store armed with the weekly ads, coupons and a meal plan, you'll know exactly what you need to purchase. While these things already help with impulse buying by cutting down on browsing because you know exactly what it is you're looking for, it can also keep you clear of other impulse buys. Knowing you don't need anything in the frozen convenience foods aisle will stop you from adding ice cream bars and Hot Pockets to your cart and, therefore, your total bill.
5. Buy in bulk whenever possible
Having a box full of single-serving crackers to stick in your child's backpack seems convenient; however, purchasing the family size bag is usually far more economical. You'll reduce your bill, and you'll also be reducing waste, which is better for the environment, and being environmentally friendly just feels good.
6. Shop at multiple stores
I'm not advocating driving miles and miles to shop at both major supermarkets in your area, but if you know when and where the deals are, it can be very easy to run in for a few good deals when you're on your way someplace else.
Additionally, shop at competing businesses located near each other. For example, I can see my major supermarket across the street when I am at Super Target. Going into both stores is as easy as parking in the middle and walking back to my car in between. I save money by getting the best price on necessary items, and I also get comfortable with the regular price items in the stores to know which store has the lower price point to determine where I'll purchase those items on future visits.
7. Talk to the supermarket employees
Different grocery chains usually have certain days of the week and times of day when meat and other items are marked down because of set delivery days for those items. Don't be afraid to chat up your butcher to ask when they usually price cut their meat.
If you know that meat is generally marked down at the beginning of the 3:00 pm shift on Wednesdays, you may want to consider making Wednesday your grocery shopping day, or you may work stopping by on your way home from work or during after school activities to grab half-price meals for the week or to fill up your freezer.
