There is a HOT deal on Gatorade products that quite a few of you are finding at Walgreens! When you buy (1) Gatorade 20oz for $1.70, you’ll get Catalina coupon for a FREE Gatorade Prime and one FREE Gatorade Recover.
PLUS when you redeem your coupon for the FREE Gatorade Prime and FREE Gatorade Recover, it generates another identical Catalina for another FREE Gatorade Prime and FREE Gatorade Recover! I have no idea how long this will keep rolling onto itself.
I recently had the opportunity to try the Gatorade Prime bars and they really do give you a kick start and a burst of energy. You might need to drink them after shopping, with all the fabulous deals that are happening at Walgreens this week. 😉
***DEAL IDEA TRANSACTION #1***
Buy (1) Gatorade 20oz $1.70
Total = $1.70, Get Back Catalina for FREE Prime & FREE Recover
***DEAL IDEA TRANSACTION #2***
Buy (1) Gatorade Prime $2.49
(1) Gatorade Recover $3.79
Total = $6.28
– FREE Prime & FREE Recover Coupon (max value $2.49 & $3.79)
Total = FREE, Get Back Catalina for another FREE Prime & FREE Recover
(Thanks so much Tracie for the heads up & Kerry for trying out this deal!)

Christie, your killing us with the free and money maker items. We need rest. 🙂
totally need a rest, i may or maynot be picking this up, lmao, my car smells like dove soap
IKR??? I am worn out from the MM Revlon nail polish on Sat, chasing Keri, and the Dove/Caress deal yesterday…whew………….So may deals, so little time….lol 😉
Can I use the catalina in other stores?
Man I really want to drive over there right now and get it, but I think I’m worn out from yesterday. I will have my hubby drop by on his way home again to do this one. Thanks
Back to Walgreens I go….glad I didn’t go for the Hot Pockets deal already today. They’re going to get sick of me.
Just went to Wags…wish I seen this before. I will have to save it for my trip tomorrow 😉
Same here LOL Why do I always read about these deals after my trip to the store……:)
I need to hurry to get there, still upset I missed out on the Dove moneymaker yesterday!!
Does anyone have any idea how long this might last?
my guess is it will be until supplies last or in otherwords until the deal shows up on that Krazy blogging site LOL
Kelly, I think you’re right because I didn’t get the RR’s.
What hot pockets deal Ashley?
I’m going to buy these and some other items I got with the Dove moneymaker RR yesterday. Will I run into any problems using that RR since it was a glitch in the system?
Just went to my local Wags and they had no 20oz available for individual sale. Tried this with a 32oz but it did not work….
Any suggestions?
I bought the 32 oz and it worked for me
i tried it with the 32oz and it didnt work either.
hi, just a quick question! i live in pasco wash. and our wags here on road 68 they are not coupon friendly as soon as you walk through the door with your binder they follow you and tell you you can’t do this deal or that deal. like the dove deal they were tearing up the 6 dollar register reward they said corporate orders is this true?
None of the Wags in the Tri-Cities are coupon friendly unfortunately…
WOW, I would call corporate if they tore up my RR like that!!
yup, they will tear up the dove RR if you buy the singles, and that order came from corporate
I would definitely call corporate.
i was wondering too, christie can you or anyone else let us know if they are any problems with the rr from yesterday, we all bought them fair and square, i paid 3.22 oop so they shouldnt cancel or whatever the rr. otherwise im going to make sure i go to each wag, and return each 3 dove bar soaps. PLease someone let us know if your rr from yesterday work.
I’m a store manager from Walgreens and there will not be a problem redeeming those register rewards from yesterday. There is no way for the registers to tell the difference between those ones and the ones that are generating from the more expensive dove deal going on this week. You’re all good! Happy shopping!
Thank You Tracie!
I used the Dove rr from yesterday to buy more items yesterday. Have not tried it today though. However, it was pointed out that the travel size degree deodorant a few weeks ago was a glitch also. A week later when I used that rr it did work
I used the $6RR today and it worked fine! 🙂
I just used 3 rr’s from yesterday,worked fine.
Nosh there is no possible way they can determine if your $6 RR was from those particular sizes so you should NOT have a problem at all!! 🙂
Christie post away!! Just went and did this after you buy the first 20oz gatorade it prints the catalina for the other two free. I did as suggested above and still have another coupon to use before 9/1. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have a football player and these get to be expensive.
I just went to wags and bought the Gatorade stuff – I think you could just buy the Prime and Recover to begin with since it starts printing RR with that purchase too…I bought 1 drink then 3 sets and had to spend 1.69 for the drink and 23 cents for tax for each transction after that the way the cashier rang it up. My hubs is going back to get the flavors he wants with the leftover RR. My wags is out of Dove single bars – boohoo!!
True, u could just buy the prime and recover to begin with, but then ur starting total would be over $6, rather than $1.70 from just buying the 20 oz gatorade….why do that? lol
The RR from the Dove bars SHOULD work because they aren’t going to be able to tell if it was obtained from the bar soaps or from the Dove products pictured in the ad that are supposed to generate a $6 RR. At least that’s what I’m counting on.
Does it have to be a 20 oz bottle? The store I checked only had 24 or 32
It works in Richmond.
Is this only at certain Walgreens? I just bought the same exact Gatorade purchased in the pic and no Catalinas printed out. 🙁
Did not print in Tampa 🙁
Guess that means a no go for me
Same here, I just tried in Riverview and didn’t work.
Didn’t print in LaMarque, TX (Between Houston and Galveston) either.
did not work in bastrop. we tried every 20oz bottle of Gatorade
Wow…you must have a little coupon angel at the Walgreens you went to for them to be patient enough to try the different bottles for you. 🙂
Ohh yes, she is awesome!! She loves deals. I always call the survey number and give her 5s.
Hi Nita: Are you at Bastrop (close to Austin, TX)??? If you are, that means I’m going to pass on trying this deal because I’m close (Round Rock, TX.)
I just did this in Lancaster Ca..
I love FREE stuff!!!
Has anyone tried this in NY? Wondering if it’s working here. I have to wait until after 5pm =[
i’m in ny too and it worked for me, bought the 20 oz gatorade for $1.59 + tax and got the catalina for the 2 free items. then when i bought them and used the catalina another printed.. and so on 😉
Woohoo!! I’m going to give it a whirl as soon as I can get to a store! Thanks for the reply 🙂 I’m in the city so hopefully the price isn’t too much higher… xP
Please contact Walgreen’s Corporate about the people tearing up your RR’s they cannot do that! I’d be on the phone asap. That is such terrible customer service!
I’m tired from yesterday too, but I’m running a 10K on Sunday so I could really use these.
Thanks again 🙂
This worked in Dallas Texas. I found the 20oz with the cold beverages and a bonus they were .99 each.
Didn’t work for me in Fredericksburg, Virginia 🙁
I keep striking out at Walgreens, Rite Aid never lets me down
Sarah…which 20oz did you get. I didnt get the single bottle for $1.79 I did the second deal and it work. I did 8 sets.
I got the 20 oz Perform 02 (like the picture) Lemon-Lime flavor and nothing happened. SHould I have gotten something else?!?
I am going to try this here in southeast texas.. Hope it works MY walgreens HATES me and i love to make them mad!! =)
I love this post! 🙂
Just sent my husband over and it worked. Thanks for the great deals.
Reno/Carson City, NV
i did 8 transactions..and worked for all in Nor Cal
Also worked for me in the East Bay.
thanks for letting me know…. glad to see somebody else from the bay area posting in here…
Worked in Central Valley too! I got the G Series fit one not the ones listed (son wanted it).
It worked here in Sacramento, but the manager told the cashier that from now on to tear up the free gatorade RR that print.
It is amazing how those managers think they ae allmighty and without a word from corporate, they make their own decisions on how to do things. I said hell no I will call corporate if they do that, so they let me do the transaction 6 times.
I just did it in MA no problem. You have to buy the one pictured, not sure if flavors matter.
Worked for me in Washington! Did it 13 times with no problem and still have another coupon! LOL!
Where in Washington? I tried in Burlington and it didn’t work for me. 🙁
i know, its like when do i stop? it just keeps printing LOL I hate to appear obnoxious and keep going back, but afterall its a quaker promotion and they are giving me free stuff!
I also used both my Dove RR from yesterday no problem today.
My coworker and I just went to try it and no catalinas came out:( South Carolina
hey guys just wanted to give you the heads up a few of the prime bars at my store had an expiration of 8/30/11 so if you are stocking up keep that in mind!
I think that they are getting rid of them because of the expiration date. Mine are good till tomorrow !
No problems for me in IL. I am disappointed however that all the Recovery drinks and Bars expire today or by the 28th! Beware of this and look.
Yes Im in Chicago and noticed that after I got home, they all expire tomorrow! Im going to a different location tonight hopefully there’s more:/
Where at in IL? I tried it in Springfield and it didn’t work. Should I try the second idea and purchase two or does anyone have any suggestions?
Worked for me like a charm, they had the 20oz bottles for 1.59. The coupon would not scan correctly when I went for the free items though, luckily the manager was very nice and told the cashier to do some type of price adjustment, it came out to just two cents! I got 4 sets haha
Worked fine in San Antonio, TX. I kept doing it until I had 10 of each. And after the 10th transaction I just gave the Catalina for the 2 free items to my cashier. (VERY PATIENT LADY).
Did any one check the expiration date on them? Mine were all expired or expiring between today and tomorrow. (It doesn’t bother me).
I bet that is why they giving them away!
B
Did not work at my fav. one in Lynnwood, wa. I must have used up all my luck yesterday with the Dove deal!
Way to go!!! Loving free stuffs!! Is this free gatorade catalina will end? It seems like and endless catalina after getting the free stuff! I only got 4 pairs. Don’t want to clear out the shelves!! Lol thanks a bunches christie!!!
It still works! My girlfriend and I combined have done 15 transactions and it keeps rolling!
worked in el paso,tx!!
Sounds like some massive shelf clearing going on.
I just did 6 transactions at each of two stores. I noticed that all the Recover expire on Aug 25. I’m not bothered by it but guess I should look-up what can happen from drinking expired protein drink. Anyone know?
I’m happy for all of you that this worked for, but it’d making me want to go try a different Walgreens and see if it works there. LOL. My fiance uses this stuff daily as he is a concrete laborer. With this heat I was totally anticipating his reaction when I said ” look babe! I got all of this for free!” 🙂
Amy, I say go for it! I’m lucky to have 3 different Wags down the street from my home. At the first, the deal worked wonderfully, at the second it did not print, and at the 3rd it worked!
I guess it’s worth a try! I have 4 more to choose from and the Gatorade will get drank regardless, so I’m off to test my luck! 🙂
Keep us posted!
I only tried the second one closest to home and no luck. 🙁 however I did check their stock of prime and recover products and they didn’t have very many. So I’m assuming, given they expire soon, this deal is varying by region due to quantity in stock. Regardless, it made my afternoon fun and exciting! Thanks Christie and my fellow bargain hunters! 🙂
Did not work for me either in south FL. 🙁
you have to buy the Perform 02 Kind for this to work, not the regular.
Worked just fine for me!!
I bought the 32oz that is only sale for 2/$3 and I got a RR for the free stuff. Mine expires 9/1 and does not say that it is redeemable only at Walgreens. I only did it once because we are not big fans of stuff like this, but needed some actual gatorade for my son. I’m going to hold onto mine and see if they replenish after these all expire or see if I can get it at another store.
Oh… and I used my $6 Dove RR for this… bought 4 gatorades for $6. No problems with the RR.
is this working for all the flavors?
I bought 4 different flavors.
Hey all,
I just did this in Western MA but my store was out of the Recover so I couldn’t begin rolling my rewards… any idea how long this will go on for?
Did not work in southeastern long island
if you get more than one per transaction do you get more than one coupon?? or one per deal??
Worked for me in northeast Ohio! Didn’t get a lot, 5 cldnt think of a good deal to roll my rr into so oop was kinda high 🙁 solo oop spoiled lol, but did get 12 caress yesterday whooooohoooooo
is the Caress deal still working today?
Thanks! I did this and my WAG manager asked me to take it all because it was not selling and my future hubby loves this stuff so I was happy to do it that means I did 29 transactions with 58 items in all OOP I paid $8.21 in taxes! I love my WAGS and your page!!!!!
Did not work on the island of Maui. 🙁
Wish I were there.:)
me too……
Nan,
Worked on the island of Oahu! Saw one lady at 830pm at the Wags on Keeaumoku doing 30+ transactions! I was tempted to follow, but she looked like more of a couponer than me, and I didn’t want to wait for her. 🙂
I purchased the one in the picture and it printed out but they didn’t have any prime in stock due to exp dates. I went to another Walgreens and they had them but they expire soon.
Heads up! I forgot to mention earlier when I told you guys to watch the dates that this the cat doesn’t roll if you buy the mango pineapple drink. Another cat will not print! Worked fine for all other flavor drinks and bars. Sorry!
Interesting? I rolled the cat on the mango pineapple drink 6 times without any problems. It turned out to be my favorite and was hoping to get more tomorrow, we’ll see.
I also bought the Mango Pineapple and got the cat again.
mango pineapple worked here too!
Worked for me in waldo, mo! About to go to another wags to get a few more in different flavors! Injury problem I ran into was that the cashier didn’t know how to do the coupon since it was for two items.
Wow, thanks Christie!! What a deal! My son, Adam, races motocross and goes thru Gatorade like crazy, so this really comes in handy. Did my deals at 5:30PM here in South Florida. The cashier at our store entered the coupon in 2 separate entries, though, scanning the coupon twice. It beeped, but she pushed it through.
Did not work in fay nc
Didn’t work for me 🙁 Bought the same type as the picture EXCEPT the fruit punch but it was the “Perform 02” Darn It!
I also rolled it into Mango pineapple and it worked..
Watch the dates on the items as well the recover (3) expired to so my WAGS substituted the preform (2)for it!
I just did mixed berry – mango pineapple and strawberry banana and it rolled on all 3 but mine are all close to expiration and a couple are expired so watch that.
also my store only had 32oz so I had to pay 1.99 but it still worked:)
That stuff tastes awful. I tried it when it was free before and I wouldn’t get it again even though it is free.
Worked for me at one wags but stock was low, went to another wags with better stock and it didn’t roll :(. Got my Catalina back and said forget it!
Didn’t work for me either, North Alabama area.
EUGENE/SPRINGFIELD Oregon. The Gatorade deal did not work. I tried all sizes.
But — I found the Colgate RR sensitive whitening toothpaste on clearance for $3.19 – $1.00 Mfg from the Fall 2011 Diabetes & You magazine. So, I paid $2.19 and got a $4 RR back. Sweet!
This deal didn’t work for me in Palm Harbor, FL
They didn’t carry 20oz Gatorade at our Walgreens (FL)
Worked for me in FL. Thank you I had a bad day but this deal brought a tons of joy:)
****beware of the expiration date. All of the ones in my local store expire today 8/24 or tomorrow 8/25
Where are these items located in the store? I have a coupon but couldn’t find them??
I just did this 4 times. The store mgr. said they wanted to sell them as the expiration date was today on some of the items. I think the product would be fine if used within a week.
I love the shopping tips from this website! I did the Dove bar soap yesterday 4 times and got $24 in RR! I can hardly wait to see what the next great deal will be this week!
That product will be fine if you use if within the next YEAR! Several years, probably!
I just completed this deal in Baltimore,did 15 transactions and went to 4 stores looking for the best expiration date (found Oct). After my last one I didn’t get another coupon so I stopped… I am a runner and high school and my athletes will love this treat.
Worked for me in South Texas, but they all expire tomorrow!
Didn’t work for me I bought fruit punch Gatorade perform 20oz 🙁
Worked in Shawnee, Oklahoma
The manager at my wags asked another manager if this was a glitch. Then they said I couldn’t do another transaction and it’s one per customer per visit but i could come back tomorrow Is this right??
No they just love to pretend they know it all. The items are expiring, so they are getting rid of them.
How would this be a glitch!? LOL. It’s a coupon printing for two free products. The company obviously did this on purpose! I just LOVE managers who make their own rules
I think they are just trying to get rid of the stuff. Seriously.
If they expire soon (within the next week or two) and they have to throw them away that’s going to cost them more $ than having people take them for free. So, we are doing them a favor!
Ugh, I hate the “1 per item/customer/visit” rule! My WAGS is like that. It is about 20 minutes from my house too. I just try hitting it up before work, even then it is out of the way. Business is business, right? And I am not a shelf clearer!!!!
I would be happy with a 2 per limit.
I found the deal as soon as it was posted. My granddaughter was taking her nap, I scooped her up and off to Wags we went. We have a small construction business and we are barely keeping a float. My husband said last night that the crew needed restocked on Gatorade. The bank account is so low, I just bought just enough last night to last the rest of the week. It was a blessing the deal came today! Our guys work out in the excessive heat and their bodies need all the great stuff that Gatorade has in it : ) I am just over joyed with the deal I got today!!!
WORKS ON VITAMIN WATER AND SMART WATER! And the other size gatorade. Not the super big one. Can’t remember the size.
I bought a vitamin water and the coupon printed.
SOUTH FLORIDA.
I just got back from the Wags down the street from me here in Spokane, Washington and they did not carry any 20oz bottles. I bought a 32oz instead to see if it might work and it did not. There are a few others around me so I may take a look into this further tomorrow if I have a chance. You never know what you will find at another store!
I’m pretty sure none of these super deals work in spokane. i tried at 3 different ones and none of them had the cats. if you find a wags that actually does do it here in spokane will you please post? thank you very much! 🙂 and good luck
Thanks for the info, I live in Spokane too and was just wondering if the deal would work for me. There is a Walgreens right by my work that I don’t usually go in, but maybe I will check there today to see if they have the 20oz.
This did not work in Washington. Wish deals were not regional.
Worked for me in NW Washington. Rolled the deal 6 times between two stores. Smart Water and Vitamin water will print the RR too with various sizes. It will not for the 32oz size.
How “nw” washington? LOL. I shop at the Longview Wags–didn’t want to make the trip in if it wouldn’t work.
My cashier let me do it once last night – and then my husband and son went back in – cashier for the first time ever seems really snippy about it which is odd. So I went back this morning and nothing printed after I did it. But I still end up with 4 G1 and 4 G3 for $0.84 worth of tax.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I worked like a dream! I was able to snag 10 of each item. I felt so bad I ended up buying a couple more Gatorades. 🙂
Hey Everyone, this will also work with the other “G” series perform. you’ll have to have the cashier ring up the two free by entering coupon amount as the pretax total, then you’ll owe just the tax.
Worked, but the first coup I got only gave me off for the Prime and not the Recover for some reason.
Does anyone know if this deal is still working today? I was planning to go at lunch, but if it isn’t working, it isn’t worth a trip. Thanks so much!
It worked at 9:00 CST this morning. It is not regioni specific – it is STORE specific.
One Wags by my house it didn’t print the coupon and the other Wags it printed over and over again!
Good luck!
You are sooooo right! I wish I would have read your tip. The Walgreens by my job did not roll over. But the one by my house did! 🙂
Haven’t done this deal but saw a bunch of messages about expiration dates. Check EVERYTHING you buy. That Milka Chocolate that was free a couple months ago expired that month. I didn’t notice it until I broke into a bar a week or so later. Still tasted good though 🙂 I have noticed the same thing on many items one sale at many stores. There’s a reason most go on sale every few months, it’s to clear stock.
this is true. my store that I shop at said it is based on stock. the one closest to my house had a ton! so i was able to get 20. the cashier was so nice. i tried to give her my last coupon but she said she was not allowed. the expiration dates don’t bother me. it is just a suggestion.
FYI: Walgreens FREE Gatorade Catalina is NO longer rolling….
Not working in AZ
The Catalina didn’t roll at my store in Iowa.
Still rolling for me in MA
I went back this afternoon, and it rolled again for me!
Doesnt roll over in SF anymore
It worked for me today in central Fl!
But make sure you check the expiration dates, some in my store had already expired.
Stopped by Walgreen’s in Jacksonville, FL and the Catalina coupon did not roll.
I was able to roll 4 times at my wags in IA around 1:30 today, but on the 4th transaction no Q printed, so I bought another water and got another Q and rolled it again 2 more times. so I got 6 sets, bought 2 smartwaters. so with tax about 4.00 for everything..
Still rolling in S.C. I did it 3 times and still have 2 catalinas
Worked for me twice here in Ca this morning, I just went back and now it’s dead.
Didn’t roll for me in WV. The manager did tell me they were going to stop carrying it, so they had to go to the back to get me some.
Did not roll for me around 6 PM northern CA. But got the last 4 and left. Got like 18 of each yesterday. (I started by buying 3 gatorade separately and just roll those 3 catalinas.
BTW, I did not pay tax. They were all completely free. 🙂
Well. Jus incase anyone from hike is reading this. Bought 20oz Gatorade. Didnt print. Then saw that 32oz were 2/$3 so returned and bought those instead. Still didn’t print.
I think its over. I did this two days in a row. Went back today and got my two free items and it didn’t print. It was nice while it lasted though!!
Well yesterday went and got a gaterade and received the catalina. Went back today to pick up the 3 ring zip binder 14.99 33% with a 2 coupon 8 bucks. Well Ginger the clerk could not do the mail. The binder was ringing up 16.99 but on the shelf for 14.99. Said tried to insist the math worked when it rang up 11.38 with the walgreens reward card. So she called the manager, she saw no issue with it and rang 9.99 for the binder. Went to use the gatorade coupon and the clerk didn’t read the catalina and only took off for one of the bars! I called the manager they will credit it back to me! Luckily its only 6 blocks away and I have to go by there. I hate that!
I’m not too happy…I did this three times, so I have 6 of their products and they are ALL expired! I know they were free, but I would not have paid 1.69 for one drink had I known they were expired! I’m really thinking about calling both Gatorade AND Wags!
i went to two different wags in my area today, and at each store i purchased a 20oz bottle of Gatorade. No Catalina’s printed…at either store…any idea why? ava
