Just in time for holiday shopping, Rite Aid is offering another way to help customers save money with its Gift of Savings program. From November 22 through December 24, shoppers can receive free $5 to $20 gift certificates with purchases of $25 and more.

With Rite Aid’s Gift of Savings program customers can watch the savings accumulate as they earn $5, $10 or $20 certificates based on total purchases from $25 to more than $100. To receive their gift certificate, customers can pick up a brochure with mail-in form at any Rite Aid store or go to www.riteaid.com : and submit the information from qualifying receipts dated November 22 through December 24. All submissions must be received by

January 25, 2010. (See in-store brochures or online information for program rules and purchases that are excluded such as alcohol, tobacco and gift cards.)

At www.riteaid.com : , customers can save even more by visiting Rite Aid’s online store and the company’s Video Values site to earn exclusive coupons just by watching videos for select products. Online shoppers also will find savings on products available at Rite Aid through www.coupons.com : .

And all Rite Aid stores will have a brand new Holiday Gift Guide to help shoppers with their holiday shopping. The 28-page guide, which can be found in the front of all stores, features toys, electronics, fragrances, holiday-themed tins, last-minute gift ideas and more.

These are all in addition to “Red Hot Special Buys” in Rite Aid’s weekly circulars and Rite Aid’s Single Check Rebate program where the company makes it easy to receive manufacturers’ rebates just by submitting receipts.
