Plus, there is another Rite Aid for a free pack of Huggies when you buy 5 packs of participating Huggies packs (mega packs and swim diapers--see rebate #800). You can submit for all of these rebates to really sweeten the deal!

Huggies Mega Packs of Diapers and Pull-Ups are on sale for $14.99 this week. Little Swimmers are on sale for $6.99 this week. This is definitely the week to buy them and do the $50 Gift Card Deal!

Buy 2 packages of Little Swimmers at $6.99 each

Use $5/$25 Rite Aid Coupon

Final out-of-pocket for both scenarios: $32.65 plus tax
Submit for Rebate #61 to get $25 Gift Card, submit for Rite Aid Rebate #53 for $2, submit for $2.69 Crest Pro-Health rebate
Submit for $2.25 Caregiver's Rebate (for 3 packages of Little Swimmers)
Final Price after Rebates: $0.72 plus tax for 2 mega packs of Pull-Ups, 3 packages of Little Swimmers, Crest Pro-Health toothpaste and filler item. Talk about a steal of a deal! Plus, you'll get a voucher for a free Jumbo package of Huggies diapers since you purchased 5 packages of diapers!

[Angela Russell]

Holy cow that is an amazing scenario!! So DOING IT!

[Amber]

Have any scenarios for regular huggies diapers? I dont need any pull ups just yet!

[Bonnie]

Hope they aren't cleaned out from people doing these deals last week! Thanks for the scenario, I can't wait to see it work!

[Angela]

I'm curious as to whether or not this scenario will work, as the #800 SCR reads:
Description:
Purchase Five (5) Packages:
• Huggies Supreme, 22-46 ct.
• Huggies Snug & Dry, 26-60 ct.

so i'm thinking that the pull ups and little swimmers won't be eligible for the free pack of diapers.... but still is a great deal even without the extra pack!

[Laura]

it seems that the Pull Ups mega pack is not part of the participating items:

see pdf here: https://riteaid.rebateplus.com/images/DirectoryImages/period111/RA_Book111_61.pdf

[Michelle]

Yeah...the little swimmers for sure are not part of the buy 5 get the 6 pack for free deal.

[Bethany]

My pull-ups coupon from 5/17 expired on 6/13, but the Little Swimmers from the same page is good through 8/9. Be sure to check your expiration dates before hitting the store!

[Bethany]

Forgot to add in my previous comment that the 6/14 SS has the same pull-ups coupon and it's good through 7/18.

[Tricia Young]

I did 2 mega packs of natural fit diapers (had 2 $3 off coupons so same as pull ups) and 3 packs of little swimmers. What a great deal! Thanks for sharing!

[Jennifer Hotchkiss]

Hi, I just love your blog! I was just printing some coupons for Scott toilet paper and paper towels on coupons.com and they are part of the promotion rite aid is running for spending $50 and getting the $25 gift card. Well along with my coupon came a rebate form from Scott....If you buy 2 Scott products you get a $2 Scott brand coupon reward through email. Buy 3 get $3, 4 get $4. I thought I would pass it along :).

[Tricia Young]

Laura, the Pull Ups Mega Pack has 33 diapers. They have it listed as a 33 pack and don't say Mega, but that is the Mega's.
Angela, I noticed that too after purchasing my 3 packs of Little Swimmers...it's still a good deal, but the free pack did entice me even more!

[Stephanie]

I don't understand how you get the voucher for a 6th pkg. of diapers since it says on the rebate form that it's for the Huggies Supreme or Snug and Dry. Did you get it to work for the Pull ups or swim diapers?
Also, where is the caregiver's rebate? I must have missed that one.
Thanks!

[Luv to save]

if you already did the rebate #800 or #61like i did and need more diapers you can do this deal :
Mega Huggies 14.99 - 1.50 SS 6/21 = 13.49
Wipes 6.99 - .75 SS 6/21 = 6.24
Crest prohealth 2.69 (some have coupons for .75)
use the 5/25 off = 17.42 out of pocket
get back 4.69= It's like paying 12.73 for Mega Huggies Diaper, wipes & toothpaste

Or do the pull ups scenario for 15.92 out of pocket
get back 4.69 with the $3 printable = It's like paying 11.23 for Mega Pull Ups, wipes and toothpaste.

not bad for mega diapers and big pck of wipes + toothpaste

[Chris]

Is anyone else having problems printing the $5 of $25 coupon using a mac?

[Saving with Scissors]

I can't find Pull ups in a 33 count...All the girls 2T ones are different counts. I've been on the phone with RiteAid all morning. The rebate center told me I have to find the correct sized package or the rebate will not be honored. Customer service says that they don't know what's going on with rebates. I just want to buy some stinking pullups!

[Allison]

I tried to follow the huggies scenario exactly and was told I could not use both the $5/$25 and manufacturers coupons. Has anyone else had any trouble using the $5/$25 with the manufacturers coupons? I was not allowed to use both today at my Rite Aid. I have NEVER had this issue before, but there is a new manager. It does say on the $5/$25 "cannot be used with any other offer" but I don't consider a manufacturer coupons an "offer". If that really were the case then wouldn't they refuse to let us use $5/$25 with sale items? or rebate items? The manager was extraordinarily rude and I'll likely call customer service to complain, but wondered if anyone else had this issue.

[Teresa]

The 33 count pull ups are the size 4t-5t. My rite aid didn't have the little swimmers on sale. I wonder if that was regional or just not put in their computer.

[Leanne]

For those of you questioning the free Huggies rebate it says that you'll be mailed a voucher for those specific diapers - you can buy any of the Huggies diapers but will get a voucher for Supreme or Snug & Dry.

[Stephanie]

#800 says

Purchase Five (5) Packages:
• Huggies Supreme, 22-46 ct.
• Huggies Snug & Dry, 26-60 ct.

and get free voucher.

So I am with Angela in wondering if the swim diapers will count. I have not seen any reports that they do work. If you have seen it reported somewhere please point me in that direction.
Thanks!

[Dellis]

Just an FYI...the pure & natural diapers work for both rebates. buy 5 get free voucher and the $25 gc rebate. :) If you can still print the $3/1 pure & natural coupons then it makes it a great deal for good diapers!

[Saving with Scissors]

I bought the wrong count of pull-ups, and swim diapers, and all of them counted toward the gift card and for the free pack of diapers!

[Ahnah]

I was thinking I didn't do so well on my Huggies purchase the other day, but I figured out I still made out pretty good.
I bought:
1 pkg diapers 94 count
1 pkg diapers 60 count
2 pkgs pull ups 29 count
1 pkg Little Swimmers 12 count
1 Crest Pro Health tooth paste
3 candy bars
1 free candy bar

I paid $57.08 total after looking through all 3 receipts.
I got a $25 gift card which will be mailed to me in 2-3 weeks,
and $4.69 rebate check will be mailed to me in 2-3 weeks,
and a free Huggies diaper voucher worth $12 worth of products (up to 60 count diapers)

With my gift cards and rebates, I am getting $29.69 back to use at Rite Aid and a voucher for diapers, so that is a total value of $41.69!!

So, after it is all said and done, $57.08 minus $41.69 means it is like I only spent $16.08 for all of the above items!!! Considering I could have gone to Walmart and spent about $14 for just 104 diapers, I think I did really well! :-)
The cashier also price matched the Little Swimmers for $6.99 because they weren't showing that price at our store. And, because he couldn't find the right count for the Pull Ups, he fixed it up so I could buy the right count and still get my gift card! It worked because my gift card showed up on riteaid.com today!! Yipee!!

[Ahnah]

Oh, I forgot that I bought a 12 count of Scott Tissues as well. So, that was all part of $57.08 and went towards the gift card!

[Rachel R.]

The printed rebate booklet specifically states (for offer 800): "Purchase five (5) packages of ANY variety: Huggies diapers or training pants..." (capitals added). It says that the voucher is good only for the Supreme 20-44-ct or Snug&Dry 23-40-ct, though.

However, I purchased five packages of diapers and Pull-Ups, and they are not showing up in my rebates at all. It doesn't even show up as having not purchased all of the required items. So I have an email in to customer service, and we'll see what they say.

(Oh, and I also noticed that there were no 33-ct. packages available in anything smaller than the 4-5T, which seems crazy to me, as I would think that's the one least needed for potty-training.)

[Marci]

Just wanted to say that I did the Pull-ups/Little Swimmers deal and everything worked. Online, the voucher for offer #800 is under my May rebates. So I had to scroll down!

[alison]

A friend of mine has submitted her rebate. She bought 1 mega pack and 4 jumbos and was told by Rite-Aid that she could not get the free voucher because the mega did not qualify. It had to be a 20-44 count.
