At the time of purchase, your printed receipt will indicate how many of the "limit 2" you've met, but neither the website nor register will indicate ... if you've met the limit of 2 items per BonusCash group with the current transaction, or if the transaction you're about to complete exceeds the limit of 2 per week, or when your BonusCash rewards will expire. Luckily the mobile RiteAid app (and website) list your individual accumulation & cashing out on a per transaction basis, so that's a good way to keep tabs on the expiration dates, since you only get 30 days to spend the BonusCash once earned.
