Walgreens Highlights - Week of 10/25-10/31

As I mentioned in my previous post, I wasn't up to posting much lately due to traveling and sickness in our family, but I think things are better now, so I'm back! If you're new to Walgreens shopping, check out my post here, which explains their system and how to get the most for your money when shopping there. Here are the best deals I see for the week of 10/25:

Buy 2 Trident Layers gum @ $.99 (with in-ad store coupon)
Use (2) $.75 printable coupons or B1G1 coupon from 10/18 insert
Pay $.48-.99, get $1 in Register Rewards; final cost = $.52 profit or FREE after coupons and Register Rewards
*Note: This Register Reward (RR) deal is not advertised in the flyer, but it is an October monthly deal.

Buy (2) Sudafed PE 20 or 24 ct. or OM nasal spray .5 oz. @ 2/$12, get $3 RR
Use (1) $2 coupon from 8/2 or 10/4 insert and $4 coupon from 10/4 insert (Note: must buy at least 1 nasal spray in order to use the $4 coupon)
Pay $6, get $3 RR; final cost = $3 for 2, or $1.50 each after coupons and RR

Buy Robitussin To Go 2 ct. @ $2.49, get $2.49 RR = FREE after RR

Buy Chapstick Fresh Effects @ $2.99, get $2.99 RR = FREE after RR

Buy Dulcolax Balance @ $7, get $4 RR
Use $3 coupon on package
Pay $4, get $4 RR = FREE after coupon and RR
Submit for $5 mail-in rebate here and make a $5 profit!

Buy 1 Fiber Choice 10 ct. or Beano To Go 12 ct. @ $2.49, get $2.49 = FREE after RR

Buy 1 Super Poligrip Denture Adhesive @ $2, get $2 RR = FREE after RR

Buy 8 select Dove hair care products @ $4.99, B1G1 free = $19.96
Use (8) $1.50 or $1 coupons from 10/4 insert
Depending on what coupons you have, pay $7.96-$11.96 after coupons and get $10 RR; final cost = $2.04 profit to $1.96 for 8 ($.25 each) after coupons and RR
*Note: This RR deal is not advertised in the flyer but is an ongoing October monthly deal. Also note that the $1.50 coupon is good only on conditioner, while the $1 coupon is good on any Dove hair care product.

Buy 2 Bayer Contour or Breeze 2 glucose meters @ $14.99 (these are part of the buy $20, get $5 promo)
Use (2) $30 coupons from 10/25 insert (coupons will need to be adjusted down to the purchase price; they will not take off $30 when the meter costs $14.99)
Pay tax and get $5 RR; final cost = $5 profit after coupons and RR

You could also use the Bayer "buy $20, get $5" deal to get free vitamins:

Buy 1 Bayer Contour or Breeze 2 glucose meter @ $14.99 and 1 box 50-100 ct. One-A-Day vitamins @ $6.99 = $21.98
Use $30 meter coupon from 10/25 insert and $2 One-A-Day coupon from 9/27 insert
Pay $4.99, get $5 RR; final cost = FREE after coupons and RR

Even if you don't use glucose meters yourself, as you can see, it is sometimes financially beneficial to buy them anyway. Plus, some charitable organizations accept them as donations, so you can also help others in the process. Or, you can strip them for parts - if the meter comes with test strips, many diabetics appreciate receiving just the strips, since those can be quite pricey. I have also heard that the batteries from the meters will work in some pacemakers.

In addition to the above deals advertised in the weekly ad, the following deals were advertised in the 9/27 ad but are actually valid for the entire month of October, so you can still get them:

Buy 1 Emergen-C Booster 2 pk., 2.5 oz. @ $3.49, get $3.49 in RR = FREE after RR

Buy 1 Vaseline Sheer Infusion Lotion, 6.8 oz. @ $6.99, get $6.99 in RR
Use $1 coupon from 10/18 insert or $1.50 printable coupon (if you printed it when it was available)
Pay$5.49-$5.99, get $6.99 RR; final cost = $1-$1.50 profit after coupon and RR

Buy 1 Halls Refresh @ $1, get $1 RR
Use $.75 or $.35 coupon from 9/27 insert
Pay $.25-$.65, get $1 RR; final cost = $.35-$.75 profit after coupon and RR

Walgreens Highlights - Week of 10/4 to 10/10

Well, the week of 9/27 was so great at Walgreens, this week has to seem a little dull in comparison. But there are still some good deals! Here are the best ones I see:

Purell Hand Sanitizer, 8 oz. @ $2.99, get $2 RR
Use coupon from 8/2 insert (could be either $.50 or $1, depending on where you live)
Pay $2.49-$1.99, get $2 RR; final cost = FREE to $.49 after coupon and RR
**Note: The ad says "while supplies last" by the Purell - I'm guessing this means that they're trying to clear out their stock or something and that supplies could already be low. So, if you really want Purell, I'd recommend getting it pretty early, probably on Sunday.

Campbell's tomato soup @ 2/$1 with in-ad store coupon
Use $1/2 printable coupon
Final cost = FREE
**Note: The coupon is for "cooking soups"; according to the Campbell's website, tomato soup is considered a cooking soup, so this coupon should be good to use here.

Wheat Thins (small box) @ 3/$3
Use $1 printable coupon
Final cost = FREE after coupon

Playtex Handsaver gloves @ $.99 with in-ad store coupon
Use $1 coupon from 5/3, 6/28, or 10/4 inserts
Final cost = FREE after coupons

Dove products (select varieties) are on sale for 25% off, and hair care products are $3. When you buy 8, you get a $10 RR. Depending on the 25% off sale prices, this could be a good deal if you have coupons for everything. I'll update this post at some point when I know more about the prices.

Gillette Fusion MVP Manual or Power Razor System @ $8.99, get $6 RR
Use $4 coupon from 9/27 insert
Pay $4.99, get $6 RR; final cost = $1.01 profit after coupon and RR
Carefree Pantiliners @ $.99 with in-ad coupon
Use $1 coupon found in various magazines (June issues of Ladies Home Journal, Woman's Day, and Good Housekeeping; March issues of Cosmo, Parents, and Shape; Feb. issues of Cosmo, Parents, Seventeen, Shape, and Glamour)
Final cost = $.01 profit
**Note: It's best to give the manufacturer's coupon from the magazine first, then have the cashier scan the in-ad coupon at the very end. Otherwise, the register may beep, which could make things more difficult.

(2) Bengay pain relief, 4-5 pk. patch or 4 oz. cream @ 2/$10, get $5 RR
Use (2) $2 coupons from 8/2 insert
Pay $6, get $5 RR; final cost = 2/$1, or $.50 each after coupon and RR

Also, the ad says to "ask about a flu shot and get $30 in coupons." I'm not sure what the coupons include, but I'll happily find out!

In addition to the above deals advertised in the weekly ad, the following deals were advertised in the 9/27 ad but are actually valid for the entire month of October, so you can still get them:

Emergen-C Booster 2pk., 2.5 oz. each @ $3.49, get $3.49 in RR = FREE after RR

Robitussin DM to Go, 2pk. @ $2.49, get $2.49 in RR = FREE after RR

Vaseline Sheer Infusion Lotion, 6.8 oz.@ $6.99, get $6.99 in RR
Use $1.50 printable coupon
Pay $5.49, get $6.99 in RR = $1.50 profit after coupon and RR

ChapStick Fresh Effects, .15 oz. @ $2.99, get $2.99 in RR = FREE after RR


If you're new to Walgreens shopping, this post may not make much sense to you; you'll probably want to check out my post here, which explains the Walgreens system and how to make it work for you.

Walgreens $5 off $25 Purchase (2 days only)

Walgreens released a coupon for $5 off a $25 purchase, good only today and tomorrow. Go here to print yours! The coupon states that it should be used after all your other coupons, so your post-coupon total would need to be $25. However, I have heard the managers at the stores near us specifically instructing their cashiers to take these coupons off first, which means you only need $25 worth before all other coupons. This can make a big difference when planning your transaction, so you may want to ask a manager at your store how they do it. If you use this coupon to buy some of the many things that are already free after Register Rewards this week, you could make a profit! Go here to read about the other deals at Walgreens this week.

Free Photo Book from Walgreens

Through October 2, you can get a free 5x7 photo book from Walgreens if you go here and become a fan of them on Facebook. This is not something you can pick up in the store, so you do have to pay shipping ($1.99 standard rate, according to the Walgreens website). But for $1.99, they make great Christmas gifts, especially for grandparents!

Walgreens Highlights - 9/27 to 10/3

Wow, what a great week at Walgreens! There are tons of deals this week! If you are new to shopping at Walgreens, you'll probably want to check out my post here, which explains how the system works and how to use it to get the most for your money.

Emergen-C Booster 2pk., 2.5 oz. each @ $3.49, get $3.49 in RR = FREE after RR

Oral-B Advantage 1-2-3 Toothbrush @ $3, get $3 in RR
Use $.75 coupon from 9/27 insert
Pay $2, get $3 in RR = $.75 profit after coupon and RR

Robitussin DM to Go, 2pk. @ $2.49, get $2.49 in RR = FREE after RR

Vaseline Sheer Infusion Lotion, 6.8 oz.@ $6.99, get $6.99 in RR
Use $1.50 printable coupon
Pay $5.49, get $6.99 in RR = $1.50 profit after coupon and RR

ChapStick Fresh Effects, .15 oz. @ $2.99, get $2.99 in RR = FREE after RR

Gillette Fusion MVP Manual or Power Razor System @ $8.99, get $6 RR
Use $4/1 coupon from 9/27 insert
Pay $4.99, get $6 RR = $1.01 profit after coupon and RR

Dentek 55 yd. floss or 35 ct. floss picks @ $2, get $2 RR
Use $1/1 printable coupon
Pay $1, get $2 RR = $1 profit after coupon and RR

Theraflu @ 2/$8, get $4 RR
Use (2) $2 printable coupons and $2 store coupon from the Healthy Savings booklet (one coupon will take off $2 for each bottle you buy)
Pay $0, get $4 RR = $4 profit after coupons and RR
**Note: There was another Theraflu deal a few weeks ago, so some people (like me) may have already printed your limit of the Theraflu coupons. However, you can still get 2 for free just by using the Healthy Savings book coupons.

Halls Refresh Sugar Free Drops, 20 ct. @ $1, get $1 RR = FREE after RR

Herbal Essences Hair Care @ $2.99, get $2 RR
Use $1 coupon from 8/23 or 9/13 insert
Pay $1.99, get $2 RR = FREE after coupon and RR

Tip: First, do the deals that yield a profit. The Theraflu is a great one to start with, since you can potentially get a $4 RR without spending anything out of pocket. Then use those RR to buy other items that generate RR, and it will reduce (or possibly eliminate) or out-of-pocket expense! For example, if you can still print the Theraflu coupons, you could do this:

Transaction #1
2 Theraflu @ 2/$8
Minus 2 printables (-$4) and store coupon (-$4)
Pay tax, get $4 RR

Transaction #2
1 Oral-B @ $3
1 Dentek @ $2
1 Halls @ $1
Minus $.75 Oral-B coupon, $1 Dentek coupon, and $4 RR from transaction #1
Pay $.25 + tax, get $6 RR ($3 from Oral-B, $2 from Dentek, and $1 from Halls)

Then, just keep on using those RR to get as much shampoo, floss, Halls, toothbrushes, etc., as you need!

Walgreens Highlights - Week of 9/20

Walgreens has some really great deals again this week! Here are the best ones I see:

Quaker Quick 1-Minutes Oats, $3.19, B1G1.
Use $1.25/2 coupon from 8/30 insert
Final cost = $1.94/2, or $.97 each

Reese's Pumpkin @ $.50 (with in-ad coupon)
Use $.55/1 any Reese's product from 8/23 insert
Final cost = -$.05 each
***Note: It works best to hand the cashier the manufacturer coupon first, then have them scan the in-ad coupon at the end. Otherwise, the manufacturer coupon may beep, in which case the cashier may or may not want to take it.

Formula 409 @ 2/$5
Use (2) $1/1 coupon from 8/30 insert
Pay $3 and get $2 Register Reward (RR); final cost = 2/$1, or $.50 each after coupons and RR

Roots of Nature Hair Care @ $6
Pay $6 and get $6 RR; final cost = free after RR

Use (2) $2/1 printable coupons and the $1/1 Walgreens store coupon from the Healthy Savings booklet (the store coupon will take off $1 for each bottle)
Pay $5.98 and get $5 RR; final cost = $.98/2, or $.49 each

Thermacare Heat Wrap (single pack, trial size) @ $2.49

(2) Oral-B Indicator Toothbrushes @ 2/$4
Use B1G1 coupon from 8/30 P&G insert
Pay $2 and get $2 RR; final cost = 2 free after coupon and RR

If you are new to shopping at Walgreens, you will probably want to read my post here, which explains how to get the most out of Walgreens' deals.

Walgreens - Some Triaminics are producing $10 in RR!

I bought 2 bottles of Triaminic Nighttime Cold & Cough this morning, which qualifies for the $5 Register Reward (RR) promotion. But it did not give me $5 RR - it gave me $10! Since I only paid $3 in RR + $.40 for the Triaminic to start with, after coupons, that is a profit of $7 in RR! Even if you don't have coupons, it's still a good deal (free). Others are reporting that the only kinds that produce the extra RR are the Nighttime Cold & Cough with the UPC ending with 145 and the 14 ct. thin strips in the light purple box (UPC ending in 143). If you really want the extra $5 from this deal, I would recommend doing it ASAP because I think it's likely the store may change it, since it's not actually advertised that way.

The absolute best deal would work like this:

Buy 2 Triaminic @ 2/$10
Use 2 $1.50 printable coupons (unfortunately, it looks like these are no longer available to print, so hopefully you printed them last week!) and the $2 coupon from the Walgreens Healthy Savings book, which will automatically take $2 off each bottle
Pay $3 and get back $10 in RR. Final cost = $7 profit after coupons and RR!

Walgreens Highlights 9/13-9/19

Walgreens has some great deals again this week! If you aren't familiar with Walgreens shopping, check out my post here first, and this will probably make more sense afterwards.

1-Day Deal (good on Wednesday only)
Sign up for email updates from the Walgreens photo center and get 1 roll of film developed for free with in-ad coupon

Triaminic 4 oz. liquid or 14 ct. thin strips
Buy 2 @ $5 each and use 2 $1.50 printable coupons and the $2 Walgreens store coupon from the Walgreens Healthy Savings booklet (the cashier will only scan this coupon once, but it will take off $2 for each one). And, I was able to print 2 coupons per computer by hitting the back button on my browser.
Pay $3 and get back a $5 Register Reward (RR) = $2 profit after coupons and RR!

Edit: The Triaminic coupon is apparently no longer available. Still a good deal if you were able to print before it was taken down!

Murine Ear Drop Kit
Buy 1 @ $6 and get $6 RR = FREE after Register Rewards

Listerine Total Care mouthwash (the purple one)
Buy 1 Listerine Total Care @ $2.99 and use a $2 coupon from the 3/15 or 4/26 insert or a $1 coupon from the 3/15, 6/14, or 8/2 insert.
Pay $.99-$1.99 and get back a $2 RR = $1 profit or FREE after coupon and RR!

Band-Aids, 8-20 ct. Tough Strips, Ultra Strips, or Antibiotic Bandages
Buy 2 @ $2.49 and use 2 $1 coupons that are in red blinkie machines found by the Band-Aids in some stores.
Pay $2.98 and get $3 RR = FREE after Register Rewards

True North Nut Crisps or Clusters
Buy 1 at $3 and use $1 printable coupon
Pay $2 and get $3 RR = $1 profit after coupon and RR!

Walgreens Deals 9/6 - 9/12

There are some good deals at Walgreens again this week! If you aren't familiar with Walgreens shopping, check out my post here.

Buy 5 Starbucks ice cream pints @ $3 each = $15.
Use (5) $2 coupons from 6/21 insert
Pay $5 and get $5 Register Reward (RR) = FREE after coupons and RR!

Buy (2) 2 oz. Glade soy candles @ $2 each
Use (2) free coupons from 8/9 insert, or (2) $3 printable coupons (if you don't see the coupon, put in your zip code and say all coupons within 50 miles)*
Pay tax and get $1 RR = $1 profit after coupons and RR!
*Note: If you choose to use 2 of the printables, I recommend getting 3 candles at once; otherwise, the register will beep on the second coupon because the coupon value would exceed the value of the candles. If you get a 3rd candle (bringing the total cost of the candles to $6), both coupons will go through fine, it will take off the full $6, and you'll still come out $1 ahead.

Buy (2) Tylenol 8 oz. or 24 ct. cold products @ $5.99 each
Use (2) $2 printable coupons and the $1 Walgreens store coupon from the Healthy Savings booklet
Pay $5.98 and get $5 RR = $.98 for 2 ($.49 each) after coupons and RR!

Buy (2) Reese's cups 4-4.5 oz. @ $1 each
Use (2) $.55 coupons from 8/23 insert
Pay $.90 and get $1 RR = $.10 profit after coupons and RR!

Save even more at Walgreens!

Look for this booklet at your Walgreens stores. My store had them on the rack with the weekly ads; I think some stores also may have them laying on the checkout counters. The coupons in the book are all Walgreens store coupons, which means you can combine them with a manufacturer coupon and get some really great deals. The best one to use this week is for $2 off Theraflu: Buy 1 Theraflu @ $4.99, use a $2 printable coupon and the $2 Walgreens store coupon, pay $.99, and get a $3 Register Reward, for a profit of $2! (If you aren't familiar with Register Rewards or the Walgreens system, check out my post here.)

The coupons are all good for the rest of this year, but there are a couple others that I think could be useful in the near future: $2 off Triaminic and $1 off children's Tylenol or adult cold, sinus, or allergy Tylenol. When I was at the store the other night, I noticed that both of these products had signs advertising a month-long deal to get a $5 Register Reward when you buy 2. I think it's very likely that they will go on sale before the end of the month, so if you combine a sale with a manufacturer coupon, the Walgreens store coupon, and the Register Reward, it could make for even more cheap or free cold medicine. Tis the season for the best deals on cold medicine, so these coupons can definitely help you stock up for very little money.

A couple other notes about Walgreens store coupons in general:

• When you use a store coupon, the cashiers do not need to keep them for their drawer, so you can just get one book and use the same coupons over and over again.
• If you buy multiple items in one transaction (let's say, 2 bottles of Tylenol), the cashier will only scan the store coupon once, but it will take off the coupon amount for each bottle purchased.
  

Walgreens Deals - Week of 8/30

There are some great deals at Walgreens this coming week! Here are the freebies I see this week:

Theraflu - Buy 1 at $4.99 and use $2 printable coupon from the Theraflu website (look in the lower left corner). Pay $2.99 (use another Register Reward if possible, but NOT one you got from buying Theraflu!) and get back $3 in Register Rewards (RR). Free after coupon and RR!

Reach Total Care toothbrush, Total Care floss, or Ultra Clean floss - Buy 1 at $2.99 and get $2 in RR. There were coupons ranging from $1-$2 off one toothbrush or floss in the 3/15, 4/26, 6/14, and 8/2 newspaper inserts. Depending on your coupons, you could get these for free or at a profit.

Rembrandt toothpaste - Buy 1 at $5, get $5 in RR = free! The 8/2 insert had a coupon good on Listerine whitening pre-brush or fluoride rinse or any Rembrandt whitening product. If the Rembrandt toothpaste included in this deal happens to be the whitening variety, you could use that coupon and make a $1 profit.

Carefree Ultra Protection Pantiliners - Buy 1 at $1.99, get $1.99 in RR = free! There are quite a few coupons good for this deal, including $1 off in the 8/30 insert; the June issues of Ladies Home Journal, Cosmo, Good Housekeeping, and Woman's Day; the March issues of Parents, Cosmo, and Shape; and the Feb. issues of Seventeen, Glamour, Cosmo, Shape, and Parents. There is also a $1 off printable coupon here. Note on the printable: if you hit the back button your browser, it may let you print a second coupon.

Men's Zone 6-Blade Razor System - Buy 1 at $3.99, get $3.99 in RR = free!

Colgate 360 ActiFlex Toothbrush - Buy 1 at $2.99 and use a $.40 coupon from tomorrow's newspaper insert. Get $2.99 in RR = a $.40 profit.

Note: There are some quirks and things to remember when shopping at Walgreens, especially when dealing with RR's. For more on this, read my post here.

Walgreens Intro - You can make it work for you!

One of my favorite stores for bargain shopping is Walgreens, partly because they have some pretty good deals and partly because there is a Walgreens with very nice employees within walking distance of my house. If you’ve never played the “drugstore game” before, you might be saying, “Really? But all their prices are so inflated!” Well, in many instances, that’s true. However, they also have promotional programs that often net you free products, and when you use coupons, you can often make a profit!

Coupons at Walgreens
One thing makes for some great deals at Walgreens is their coupon policies. Of course, Walgreens accepts manufacturer coupons, but they also issue store coupons (if you’re not sure if it’s a store or manufacturer coupon, look at the barcode – manufacturer coupons have barcodes that start with either a 5 or a 9; if it’s any other number, it’s a store coupon). Store coupons are found in the store ad every week (see left), and also sometimes in special booklets found at the front of the store or in the pharmacy area. Walgreens policy allows you to combine a store coupon with a manufacturer coupon for some great deals! For example, this week’s ad contains a store coupon to get Reach floss for $.99. The coupon insert in the 8/2 newspaper insert had a coupon for $1 off Reach floss, so…free floss :)

Walgreens also sometimes issues coupons for $5 off a $25 purchase, or something similar. They actually have one available on their website right now; you can print it here. These coupons say that your total must be $25 before taxes and after all other coupons are taken off; however, the managers at my local stores instruct all their cashiers to take off the $5 coupon first. So, you may want to check at your local store to see what they do. If they are like mine and take off the $5 coupon first, these coupons also make for some great deals. If you put together an order of things that will be mostly free or very cheap after coupons (like the Reach floss this week), it’s not hard to reach a pre-coupon total of $25. Then use the $5 coupon, and you could end up paying very little.

Register Rewards
Another great thing about shopping at Walgreens is their Register Rewards (RR) program. RR’s are coupons that print out of a machine next to the cash register; these coupons are good for money off your next order, a kind of “Walgreens money.” Certain items are advertised in each week’s ad as producing RR (see the Listerine example to the left); sometimes items are “free” after RR, meaning that you get back the same amount that you pay. RR deals can be great in and of themselves, but if you have coupons, they can be even better. For example, Softsoap body wash was free after RR last week. I had printed $2 coupons from the internet, so I paid $2 and got back $4 in RR.

Now, after you get your RR, I recommend trying to “roll” them. “Rolling” means that you use your current RR to purchase something else that generates about the same amount of RR, then using that RR to purchase something else that produces RR, and so on – over and over and over again. Rolling is beneficial because it minimizes your out of pocket expenses. My basic goal for each transaction is to pay as much as possible with coupons and RR, pay very little out of pocket (usually less than a dollar), and get about the same amount of RR (or more) back. For example, last week I started with a $6 RR, and I used it to buy the Softsoap (on sale for $4, produced a $4 RR); I also added several cans of fruit so that I could use the full amount of my $6 RR. I got a $4 RR from the Softsoap. Then, one of Walgreens’ special promotions late last week was that you got a $5 RR when you bought $25 worth of merchandise. The $25 threshold was based on your pre-coupon total, so I got:

6 bottles of Tylenol (on sale for $4.49, buy 1, get 1 free)
3 tubs Huggies wipes ($3.29 each)
4 boxes Kraft macaroni & cheese ($1.49 each)

Total before coupons = $29.30
Minus 6 $2 Tylenol coupons (if something is on sale B1G1, you can still use a coupon on each one!)
Minus a $1 and 2 $.50 Huggies manufacturer coupons
Minus a $2 Huggies store coupon (takes off $2 for each tub, so -$6 total – these coupons are in special back-to-school booklets found at the front of the store by the ads)
Minus a buy 3, get 1 printable coupon for the mac and cheese (-$1.49)
Minus in-ad store coupon to get mac and cheese for $.69 (takes $.80 off all 4 boxes, so -$3.20 total).

My post-coupon total was $4.61. I paid with my $4 RR from the Softsoap and some change, and got back a $5 RR because my original total was over $25.

These transactions are part of a long chain of RR deals. I don’t even remember what my initial RR was from, but I think I got it sometime back in May, and since then, I have used RR + pocket change to get toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, mouthwash, cookies, cereal, pens, Glade candles, a blow dryer, deodorant, and more groceries than I can remember right now. If I weren’t “rolling,” I’d be paying a much larger percentage out of pocket for all these transactions; as it is, I’m really just paying pocket change each time, for things we’ll use.

Other Useful Walgreens Tips

• It's best to have the cashier scan the in-ad store coupons last. This is because none of the other coupons (RR, manufacturer coupons, other Walgreens store coupons) will pay tax, so the register won't take them if they would make your pre-tax total be negative, even by a few cents.
• If you buy more than one of an item and use a Walgreens store coupon, one coupon will take the amount off all qualifying items.
• Only one RR per deal will print per transaction. For example, if I had bought 2 Softsoap in one transaction, it would still only print 1 RR. However, you can buy items for separate RR deals in one transaction, and it will print all RR.
• If you use the RR you got from one deal to buy more of that same item, it will not produce another RR. So, if I used my Softsoap RR to buy more Softsoap, it would not produce another RR. However, I could use it to buy the Listerine deal pictured above and I would get the RR.
• The Walgreens registers are set to not accept more manufacturer coupons than items per transaction. And RRs count as coupons. This means that if you buy, let's say, 4 items and you have a manufacturer coupon for each one, if you are going to use an RR, you will need to add another item item that you do not have a manufacturer coupon for, or the register will not accept all your coupons. I usually add something small (like under $.50 or so); items with in-ad coupons are often good choices. Walgreens store coupons are not counted in the "coupon count."

If something isn't clear or you have questions that aren't covered here, please feel free to ask questions, and I'll do my best to answer!
