Here’s my Walgreens Shopping Scenario for 5/6. In this scenario you’ll get $28.28 in merchandise and spend $7.43 out of pocket. You’d end up with $5 in Register Rewards. So it’s like you are getting everything for $2.43! That’s a little more than 91% OFF! 🙂
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THESE TRANSACTIONS
-) You can’t have more MQ than items! Blue = MQ
-) You don’t have to do these in one day, just pick up where you left off.
-) I always bring some extra fillers with me to the register, in case of an emergency!
-) The Arm & Hammer Register Reward deal is a bonus buy so it won’t be in your paper ad but you can see it in the weekly ad on-line at Walgreens.com.

I got a $2.50 RR on the lysol kitchen system. I bought the one with a free refill in it, it still rang up $8.99 but instead of printing a RR for $1.50, it printed the $2.50. Anyone else have this happen?
I had the same thing!
My Wags had a sign up that because there was no $1 off in the paper they were increasing the value of the RR to 2.50.
Was the Complete Solution a regional coupon? I don’t see it in my inserts.
Ugh 🙁 Must be. So without it your oop would be $1 more. I guess I shouldn’t make the sad face because it’s still free. LOL. But a money maker is always better!
Some of the Complete had a $1 peelie on them.
Some at our store also had the peelies on them
No it wasnt because I didnt have it either.
I didn’t have the Complete Solution Coupon, I still bought it because it was a good deal with out the coupon any way. Wish everyone could get the same inserts!
For a saturdate there is sally hansen diamond strength nail polish buy 1 get 1 50% off. There is a coupon up for a $1.00 off sally hansen nail color and $1.00 off in the walgreens book.
my complete was ringing up $6.99 – $1 coupon = $5.99 and printing an $8rr…YAY even better MM…Since I was down to my last bottle I got 6 🙂 Should last me a year yay!

Kathie: Good to know that you used the $5/$35 w/o problems. 🙂 Thanks for posting.
The Kotex RR is STILL rolling. Tried it with a RR from Kim/Clark from last time, got another, then experimented and tried it with one I got from todays trans, and got another. I LOVE when it allows you to do that!
kimberly clark and p&g RR always roll for me just letting everyone else know
FYI at my wags there was a 4 ounce, try me free Dickson witch hazel. The price was 5.99 with a 6.99 rebate peelie attached. Good luck.
What do some of you use witch hazel for? Cleaning your face?
Astringent for hemorrhoids (per my husband, the pharmacist). From random website, for bug bites, psoriasis, shrink bags under eyes, diaper rash. Shrinks and contracts blood vessels to normal size. I would imagine if you use around your eyes, you would want to be careful not to GET into eyes. Not for that!
This info isn’t to provide any medical information.
QUESTION….Do any of you use an iPad to print coupons from coupons.com and the other sites, I just bought an iPad and HP wireless printer and can’t figure it out?? 🙁
you have to download the coupons.com app and make sure wifi is on, i was able to print through my iphone 4S also. when i print coupon it automatically look for the printer. It wont let me print from other coupon site though like red plum and smartsource or any facebook coupons 🙁 only through the coupons.com app.
I am bummed..I went to my Walgreens this morning and bought the Kotex U. There was no sign on the product (has happened before). It rang up full price $4.99 and no RR produced. Is there an ad somewhere that shows this is still going on? I would love to get this fixed but without paper proof I am sure I will get nowhere.
It’s in the Walgreens Sales Paper for 5/6-5/12 on page 16 just to the right of the Acuvue Oasys advertisement.
You probably didn’t buy the one that has the RR deal going on. Mine weren’t marked at my walgreens either until a couple days ago. It’s the 18 count sleek tampons that produce the reward.
This is my Scenario to fit the Qs and RRs I have. Just a note this is starting with a $3 Kotex RR so hopefully that deal is still rolling so I can do this scenario!
Transaction #1- Buy 1 Complete Multipurpose solution 12oz-$7.99
1- Laffy Taffy (filler)
Use $1/1 Complete multipurpose solution (4/29 Smart source insert)
$3 Register Reward from Kotex
Pay $4 Get back $8 Register Rewards
Transaction#2- Buy 1- U by kotex $3.99
1 Lanacane Anti Itch Cream $5
$1 worth of other items to go with register reward (2/$1 Candy bars)
Use $2/1 U by Kotex coupon
$8 Register Reward
Pay Tax Get back $3 RR from Kotex and another for $5 from Lanacane Totaling $8 in RRs
Transaction #3 Buy 1- T.N. Dickinsons Witch Hazel $4
1- U by Kotex $3.99
1- Arm and Hammer Toothpaste 4.5-6oz $2.99
1-Laffy Taffy 15 cents
Use $2/1 U by kotex Coupon
75 cents/1 Arm and Hammer coupon (5/6 SS insert)
$5 RR from lanacane
$3 RR from Kotex
Pay less than $1 Get back $3 RR Kotex , $4RR Witch Hazel, $1 RR Arm and Hammer Which you could turn around and do the exact same transactions all over again and pay very little out of pocket for the first one this time. This is my scenario but you can change it up a little bit to fit what you need from Walgreens this week. Just remember for each register reward Q you have to have a small item to go with it which is where I like to use the laffy taffy because it’s only 15 cents. so all in all with this scenario you’ll get $29.26 worth of product for around $8 out of pocket if you don’t start with a register reward from last week. If you are starting with a $3 RR like I am you’ll only pay about $6 OOP and end with $8 oop making it a $2 Profit to shop this week!! When you get the rewards going you can continue to shop for free at Walgreens every week. Good luck! If anyone tries this let me know how it goes. There is also a mail in rebate on the dickinson’s up to $6.99!!!
Sorry I copied and pasted my scenario I emailed to a friend and didn’t realize I left the message at the bottom LOL

Okay so I am seeing you ladies post about the u Kotex. I bought one the other day and got the $3 RR, so you all are saying that you can buy another u Kotex and use that same RR on it, and it will still print another $3 RR??
