Here are some updates from my Walgreens trip to help your trip go a little smoother!
FINESSE DEAL: Be on the lookout for clearance Finesse Clean + Simple. I think some Walgreens stores will no longer be carrying this and have put it on clearance. I found it for just $1.09! (Ignore the Try Me Free rebate peelie – those have expired). With the new finesse coupon you’ll be able to get these for just $0.09 each if you find them.
Buy (1) Finesse Clean + Simple Clearance $1.09
(1) $1/1 Finesse product, exp. 5/13/12 (SS 04/22/12)
Total = $0.09!
U BY KOTEX: The U by Kotex Register Reward is rolling! Now remember, this probably won’t last. Usually when these things happen they usually make it thru Sunday and stop a day or so later. Maybe we’ll get lucky! But for today it looks like you can roll this Register Reward. Yay for free tampons!
PSORIASIN: Some of you have found coupons inside your boxes. (Thanks Jill :-)!) So you might want to check. I also found bonus boxes that had 30% more FREE. I didn’t get a coupon in my box however, but it’s certainly worth checking.
GLADE EXPRESSIONS: The refills aren’t part of the Walgreens Register Reward deal 🙁 however, you can still get a great deal. Getting the free refills comes out to a better deal at $1.66 each. If you just get the (3) Starter kits and use the $1.50/1 from the paper today you’d pay more per item.
Buy (3) Glade Expressions $3.99
(3) Glade Expressions Refills $3.99
Total = $23.94
(2) FREE Refill wyb Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist Starter printable
(1) FREE Refill wyb Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist Starter printable
Total = $11.97, Get Back $2 RR
= $1.66 EACH
I’m heading out to another store now but I wanted you all to know about the U by Kotex ASAP!
So what other deals did you find? How did your shop go? Let us know!

The Finesse Clean + Simple Shampoo is terrible. My hair doesn’t feel clean and I use more shampoo than I should for my long hair. The product is a better use for men with short hair.
I have a $5 RR from last week’s Dove Hair Care deal. This week they have the Dove body wash and bar soap. If I bought the bar soap and use the $5 RR, will I be able to get the $6 RR since the RR is from the same manufacture but different $ amount?
By the way, don’t you feel exhausted going to multiple stores :)?
Yes I sometimes do, but it seems like I can’t find one store that has all the deals available to find. I would love it if there was just one store in my area that had all their signs up. LOL. It would sure save me a lot of time!
For the Dove you should be good because they are different amounts. 🙂
I guess No because its the same manufacturer so it wont roll.
I used a Pepsi $3 RR to assist in a purchase that I bought the .99 Pepsi and received the .99 RR, so you should be fine because the amounts are different.
Christy Did they change something at Walgreens on their RR’s. I thought you COULDN’T use the same “Maker” RR on another product by the same maker. I understand sometimes these glitches do happen like on the Kotex which usually they do fix BUT can you PLEASE clarify.
Kotex RR is rolling here in PA! Just did one today around 2pm. Got 4 boxes.
Hi!!! I just want to know “what do u mean by rolling!?” Is that mean that i can use the same RR for the same RR deal… in this case, the “u by kotex tampons”!? Thanks.
I just want to clarify what you’re saying before I head out. So you can use the $3 RR you get from the tampons on another box of tampons?
Did Wags change their policy that you cannot use a $ off coupon along with a BOGO coupon? If not, couldnt you use the free refill coupon along with the $1.50 off to get the OOP down? Ive been out of the wags loop for a little bit, so please, correct me if Im wrong.
I’ve done this type of deal several times by using the $ off coupon on the first item and the BOGO on the second item. I have also used two $ off coupons with a BOGO sale and have not had any issues.
what does it mean when you say the kotex is rolling??
Cindy,
I believe this means that you may use the register reward from your Kotex purchase to buy another Kotex and still get another register reward. If it isn’t “rolling”, you would not be able to do this. Example: Usually if you would purchase Kotex, get the RR, and then try to use the Kotex RR on the next Kotex purchase, it would not print the RR again.
Thank u anne I went As soon as read it i got myself some 🙂
I FOUND THE NATURE MADE 30 PACKET SKIN WELLNESS AND BEAUTY BOXES ON CLEARANCE FOR $6.29, MATCH THAT WITH THE $3.00 OFF COUPON IN THE WALGREENS VITAMIN COUPON BOOK MADE THEM $3.29 EACH!!!! YEAH FOR CHEAP VITAMINS
Bobbing Jean…I was wondering the same thing. I got $1.50 coupons in todays paper and have some from a tearpad that I was hoping to use. Thank you!
I don’t know if anyone else has had this problem, but the Glade BOGO coupon locked up the registers, several different times actually. The manager had to manually enter all of my coupons. Just an FYI if anyone will be using the coupon to be aware that it could happen.
Jen – Your store must have the evil new registers. FYI – it’s not just that Glade coupon, a few days ago I locked up 3 registers by using a RR ($9 Nasal Ease) to pay for something.
They didn’t want to enter it manually (when that happens is the only way to prevent it from happening again). So, she rang it up 4 times on 3 registers (crashing them and having to reboot them every time) until she finally agreed to enter it manually and then – no problems.
It’s a glitch in those new registers. I am not a fan. Hopefully they’ll fix them soon.
Hi Christie,
Are the “new registers” you keep mentioning the “touch screen” ones with a color panel? Only one of the 7 Walgreens I frequent has that so far, and I hope it stays that way for now D: Lol
Yes those are the new registers. I’m sure they’ll get them all worked out eventually but until they work out the glitches, I try and avoid them! 😉
It hapenned to my twice in different strores, in one the manager was very nice and understanding and in the other store the cashier enter the coupons manually. I hope he didn’t get in trouble because he didn’t ask the manager first, he just did it to avoid the register to lock ( there was a line ).
I had two different machines lock up in the same store (the clerk went to another one after locking up the first). The manager was thoroughly confused. The third time, when we broke my order into two separate orders, the lock up did not happen. Don’t know what caused it, but we got it worked out.
The same here. Locked up the register 3 times and finally we had to divide the order up to get it to work.
This kept happening to me and one of the cashiers figured out a way around it:
if they scan the highest dollar item,
then the highest dollar coupon or Register Reward
then the next highest dollar item
then the next highest dollar coupon or Rester Reward
and so on it won’t crash!
Example:
Scan your transaction like this
(1) Psoriasin for $5
(1) $10 Register Reward
(1) U by Kotex $3.99
(1) $1 coupon for U by Kotex
(1) Milk $2.29
= .28 OOP (Get $5 RR for Psoriasin, Get $3 RR for U by Kotex)
Next Transaction (THIS ONE KEPT CRASHING TILL SHE DID IT LIKE THIS)
Scan Like this:
(1) I-Cool $10
(1) Register Reward $5
(1) Carmel .39
(1) Register Reward $3
(1) Carmel .39
(1) coupon for I-Cool $2
= .78 OOP (Get $10 RR for Psoriasin)
I also had a cashier show me the awesome way she keeps the coupons/RR in her drawer to make it easier if something goes wrong (crashing, RR don’t print, etc) she takes the RR’s, put the coupons on top of them, and them fold them in half that way each transaction is neatly bundled in case she has to pull them out and re-ring a transaction! How smart!
Thanks Joe! I’ll give that a try next time. 🙂
I had the “glitch” cash register problem as well when I went to Walgreens yesterday. On the 1st register, after the cashier scanned my first Qs for i-Cool, it reboot automatically, & so we move to the second to the 2nd register. When he scan the Dove Qs, it says “coupon expired” on the screen to think that it’s still April 22 (I went early Sunday morning). But, when the cashier try to scan it a few times, it accepted it. My debit card won’t accept it, but it can manually do the credit part. On my last transaction, we moved again to the 3rd register, & it does the same thing on the Dove Qs, but this time, my debit card worked fine 🙂
I think Wags should fix this “bugs” problem on their system. They need to hire a really good IT experts 🙂 (lol)
I have crashed the same register everytime I go into the store. Yesterday made it 5 times. Instead of them taking me to another computer I have to sit there and wait for the computer to reboot. 5 minute shopping trips turns into 15min. Augggh I tooooooo hate the new computers.
Watch for Schick Silk razors on clearance, they were 7.50 at my store, used a 4 dollar off and a 3RR printed! .50 good razors plus they had a refill!
U Kotex is still “rolling”! I love it when I get an even better deal than planned!
U kotex deal isn’t even printing a register reward as of the time I am writing this.Just went down bought the correct product used the printable q and nothing,no reward at all.They must be currently correcting the problem.They had to give me 3 dollars back out of the register.
Make sure you get the “Sleek” and not the “Click”. I got the wrong one at first and it didn’t print but then we tried the other and it worked fine.
I just got home and it worked for me I bought two of them.
Hmm I checked the type and I did get the click.But that was because they had signs at the store saying that those were the ones with the register rewrd.I assumed that if a sign was on them that those were the ones to buy.The manager dealt with my problem yesterday so maybe he has fixed the signage mistake???
I bought 1 Psoriasin, 1 Kotex Sleek, 1 Finesse, 1 Zantac and 1 filler (to go over $10) and used the corresponding coupons and a $10 reward from I-cool and my rewards did not print. Manager came over, tried to say that because I used coupons, I pointed out that Psoriasin did not have coupon. He just rerung both products, gave me the rewards that this time printed and said that he really did not know the reason, asked if I was happy, said good night and then he left. Of course I was happy, I got my rewards in the end!
I had the Psoriasin RR not print for me in one of my transactions as well, I did several buying Kotex, Psoriasin, and milk, and using $10 RR (from I-Cool) and $1 Kotex coupon, the RR printed fine until my last transaction: I got the $3 Kotex, but the $5 Psoriasin didn’t print? I’m so glad I noticed, she pulled the Psoriasin out of the bag, scanned it and I guess entered a payment, it printed then, and she voided the transaction. So Everyone pay close attention and make sure all your RR’s are printing!
My Psoriasin RR did not print as well. I returned and had them re ring them up and it came out. I got my RR in the end! Pay attention, its money!
I purchase Psoriasin that is 33 % more free size and RR did not print. Then manager went and got regular size package and re- rung the transaction and give me bonus size package and reward. I’ll take it!!
I used the bogo glade expressions and 1.50/1 from today’s paper together with no problem.
Stacie that’s a no-no even if it didn’t beep. Manufacturer’s call that “double dipping” and it’s not allowed. They are already reimbursing the store for the “free” item and shouldn’t have to reimburse them for a coupon you’re using on a product to get the free item. That cashier just cost Walgreens some money 🙁
Jane – If we follow that logic then Walgreens wouldn’t allow you to use a store coupon in combination with a manufacturer coupon for the same sale item. Walgreens store coupons (IVC) are all scan down credits from the manufacturer. A BOGO coupon attaches to the free item and therefore may be combined with another coupon on the purchased item. Walgreens gets reimbursed for both coupons and as always its up to your local store management, how coupon friendly they are and their interpretation of the policy. Your mileage may vary… “Double dipping” would be when you purchase one glade product and try to use two coupons on it.
I agree with previous poster, the Finesse Clean & Simple Shampoo and Conditioner are horrible! I would not even use them if they were free. I have never had another product leave my hair so insanely dry and frizzy; I normally don’t have this problem, it is totally a bad product.
Stacie…so I take it you purchased 3 Glade products? If not, you’re misusing the coupons. The B1G1 coupon attaches to 2 Glade products. You would need to purchase 3 items in order to use the B1G1 coupon and the $1.50/1 coupon. The way you worded your response sounds like you only purchased 2 products which would constitute coupon fraud. I hope you didn’t do that!
Walgreens coupon policy is listed on their website, Seth. Please read carefully.
Buy One, Get One Free Coupons
When items are featured in a Buy One, Get One Free promotion, up to two coupons can be used against the items being purchased, as long as the net price does not go below zero for the items being purchased.
Sales tax must be paid for any Buy One, Get One Free coupon offers, if required by applicable state laws.
This policy is referring to Buy One, Get One Free promotions and coupons…meaning when Walgreens runs an item BOGO, you can use a coupon on each item. This doesn’t mean when you use a BOGO coupon, you can use another coupon with it. There is nothing in their policy that says yes or no about this situation. I know Publix says you cannot use a second coupon with a BOGO coupon, not sure about anywhere else. I have trouble with my conscience when I do things that I don’t feel are right.
The wording from the policy on the website is “When items are featured in a Buy One, Get One Free promotion, up to two coupons can be used against the items being purchased, as long as the net price does not go below zero for the items being purchased.”
I agree with Mary that it means in a Walgreens promotion. If they intended it to be on B1G1 coupons they would have worded it coupon not promotion. That’s my store’s interpretation too. But then again, stores seem to have their own rules some days.
Jen is right I can use a B1g1 and another coupon for just two items. At least in walgreens its not attached to two products
I always look at bogo cpns a tho the cpn is to get the second item for free and therefore can use a cpn on the one i am paying for. But u have to check each stores cpn policy because some (target) doesnt allow that.
I agree, the BOGO coupon is for the free item and the other coupon is for the one you are paying for. Its not abusing the coupon to do it that way. What would be wrong is to use a BOGO and TWO money off coupons for 2 items.
I’ve used both at Target before no problem- as far as I know they didn’t even beep- HOWEVER Walmart’s registers DO attach them to BOTH items (the BOGO coupon I mean) so it won’t allow another $-off coupon to scan for the same item. Although I’ve previously had mgrs tell me (after I explained my logic) that they don’t see a problem with it….it’s the same as a coupon that says this…
“Buy one bag Kingsford charcoal and get .50 off BBQ sauce”- the coupon is FOR the BBQ sauce, so I think you can still then use a coupon for the charcoal…
I’ve used both $ off and BOGO coupons in conjunction at Wags before- no prob ever.
I found dove hair gel on clearance for $2.49 and still had one of those high value $2/1 from WalMart.com and score for .49!!
but those $2/1 coupons all expired on the 19th I thought
Kotex is rolling for me 😀
Just got home… Kotex was still rolling as of 8:30 pm EST 🙂
Kotex rolling as of 9:30 EST
Christie, I followed your shopping scenarios almost to the letter this week. Only exception was I didn’t get the Finesse coupon in my insert. So in its place I purchased the Nice snack bags for 1.29. Since there was no coupon attached to the snack bags, I didn’t need Nice gelatin for a filler. All 3 of my transactions worked great thanks to your scenarios. I appreciate it so much!
Oh wonderful! I’m so glad it helped. 🙂
My store is already out of Kotex. The good news is it had kids shirts on clearance for $0.33!! Hope someone else can find them too.
mine has ladies plain tees for $1, will have to check out the kids, Thanks!
Has anyone printed the coupon for a free Glade Expression refill with the purchase of the starter ?? I’ve attempted to use this coupon but the Walgreens computer says there no item matching that coupon iny order?? -Jill
I just got back from Walgreens and the Kotex to

Seal=deal
Still rolling in Idaho. Thanks Christie for all your awesome deals. Fabulous forum for Walgreens!
Thanks for the WI update, Kurls!
I do have a question though… Yesterday I was thinking you can’t completely roll the kotex without a filler. Is this correct? Because…
$3.99
-$1.00 (MQ)
-$3.00 (RR)
= +0.01
So you have to get a filler, right?? I just got the 25 cent jello, but want to make sure if I’m going back tonight. I’d obviously prefer to not get a filler if I don’t have to. Has anyone experienced a beep when rolling the kotex if you don’t have a filler?
you still need a filler because you can’t have more coupons than items
You’d have to get a filler no matter what bc you are using both a MQ + RR to pay. You can only have 1 Q per item at Wags and a RR is considered a Q.
Duh! Sorry… had a bit of a brain fart. :p
No worries! I used the Easter clearance candy that was only .10 each for my filler.
hmmm…will have to find a store with an old register (maybe) this did not roll for me late last night??? Yes, to poster above I had one jello for .29 as a fill. For me the jello was not .25 unless you purchased 4 at 4/$1. Thanks…will head out later tonight. Very odd, wonder why the deal didn’t roll for me?
did you get the Kotex “click” because those were NOT included in the RR – only the “sleek” were part of the RR.
yes, doubled checked after reading blogs before I even left. (checked to see if it was still rolling) and tried to get 4 of the sleeks. I did get the first rr, but would not print a second with the second purchase and one jello. so I got my money back. I hope I can get away to try later tonight? Really, not sure what the issue was…except possibly new registers? And, this particular store on Village always has one issue or another or no products.
Thanks 🙂
