Update – The Gillette Pro Glide Razor is no longer part of the buy $30 get $10 back RR Deal!

REACH TOOTHBRUSHES
There is a double dip for these! Be sure to checkout my post HERE. You can get up to a $5 Money Maker when you buy the 2pks! Plus there are $2/1 peelies that I’m finding on some of the qualifying single toothbrushes. So even if you don’t have the $2/1 for the multi-packs, look for the $2/1 peelies. If you find those you can do the following scenario so it turns out to be the same as the 2pks with the $2/1.
BUY

Total = $10
(4) -$2/1 Reach Peelies
Total = $2, Get Back $3 RR Weekly Deal & $4 RR Monthly Deal

I am finding these on the shelf with the rest of the vitamins. There aren’t a ton of these at my store so I would try and do this deal early in the week.
GARNIER DEAL
I spotted the clearance Garnier at the store I stopped into today. So be on the lookout. If you find it you can use any of these coupons…
-$1/1 Garnier Fructis Shampoo or Conditioner PRINT

SOBE DEAL
SoBe? What SoBe? No SoBe at store #1. Thinking maybe they had it in the back and just didn’t want to look for me. Oh well, I am off to look for SoBe at store #2. Wish me luck! 😉

what was the garnier deal again….
If you find the clearance Garnier – you can do this…

My Reach deal only printed a $3RR and $1RR. What is the $4RR? Is that when you buy 4 Reach items?
Yes. When you buy (4) you’ll get the bonus $4 instead of $1. 🙂
Thank you!!!
Fish oil vitamins-You can print off a $2 coupon for these making them a $2 moneymaker. http://www.omegasmartfishoils.com/omega-smart-product-coupon/#
Awesome wags trip – plenty of Sobe in stock, only thing they were low on was the Soy supplements – only had 2. Also a GREAT deal on Chex Mix.
http://www.iheartveggies.net/2011/06/awesome-walgreens-trip-chex-mix-stock.html
Went to 5 Walgreens within 12 minutes of my home. The 5th one had Sobe. The first 4 never received any, so sounds like a supplier issue. I was told to check back on Tues. or Wed to see if they receive any deliveries.
That’s a shame, all my many Walgreens were fully stocked this evening, most were shelf-stickered $1.99 but rang up at 99 cents.
Christi,
Is the B1G1 gillette coupon unusual to ring up this way? I was under the impression that we could use a B1G1 coupon and two other coupons.
Yes actually – this time they coded them that way. So, I feel obligated to go by the intention of the coding beep or no beep ya know?
Christie–thank you for maintaining the integrity of the coupon. I have seen other blog sites this morning giving deal scenarios that include the add’l $$ off coupon for the BOGO coupon combo, and people are saying that some cashiers are in fact pushing it through. The “14” coding is there for a reason, so thank you for being the honest one out there! 🙂
No one has ever taught me what those codes mean. Guess I should look it up, huh? =-) I usually go by what the cashier tells me is right (and they definitely let me know) and the coupon policy to the best of my knowledge. I have really nice Walgreens cashiers in my area and they don’t push anything through if it beeps. Very rarely do I ever have a coupon beep.
Hi Christie,
I’m in Houston and I used my BIGI coupon along with the reg off coupon on the other product and didn’t have any problem, no beeps and had a smooth transaction on the firts store then I went to the second store to get some toothbrushes and was amazed that they had plenty on stock so I grab and the machine would take the $2 coupon so th emanager was called and he said that the coupons were showing other products I politely told him that the text says ANY 2 packs so he entered them manually and the register took them but when I had him the $2 coupon for the Fish Oil Caplets he said that I was trying to do fraud because the product was already free and I wanted to use the coupon on a free product so I ask him if that was a new policy and pull mine out and he said no, but what you are trying to do id fraud and I’m not going to allowed it in my store and then he tirn around and said by the way you can only take 1 o 2 toothbrushes max and I ask why he said because I need to have enough in stock so I said well I’m not taking them all you still have 12 in the shelf and he said take it or leave I took them because the line was long and I was embarrased enough. This has never happend to me but today was the DAY!!!!
Oh goodness. Stay away from that manager for sure! I guess he missed all those parts of the Walgreens ad encouraging you to use coupons with Register Reward deals.
I had to actually email walgreens about a rude mgr and then I went back there with there policy in hand and had a little talk with him and told him that i emailed his corporate office = he is as nice as can be now. It amazes me that the mgr’s and cashiers do not know there own policies.
Hey Mayra, I’m in Houston too! Sorry you had to deal with that rude manager. I haven’t encountered a rude manager yet, and most of the cashiers are very helpful and nice, but every once in a while…crabapple! Don’t be embarassed, just try it again. My Walgreens had everything in stock today and it was a great shopping day.
Now everytime I run into a bad cashier I will think “crabapple” and it will make me smile – thanks! 🙂
I am also in Houston and have to ask, was this in Pasadena on Fairmont? There’s a manager there who is a complete terror to deal with. I have had him be nasty for no reason to me 2 separate times (too much to type). I let it go the 1st time, but when he was like that again, I called corporate on him. Of course the world is full of nasty people, but this guy sounds so much like the man I am thinking of. Just wondering.
I bought 8 body-washes for the Gillette deal this morning. Used 4 Bogo coupons, and 4 $2 off coupons. The cashier rang it through and there were NO beeps. =-) She even encouraged me to do that more often, since I wasn’t sure that was even allowed. I got my $10 RR back, making all 8 of them a total of $1.96 plus tax after the RR! All of the men in my family are going to smell great! =-)
I actually think the Gillette deodorants smells really great. I know not everyone agrees but I think so! 🙂
I really like the deodorant too. Problem was, they were not as good a deal as the body-wash ($8 more oop if I wanted to buy all 8). I am heading out again though to get 6 deodorants and a razor. Using 3 bogo deodorant coupons, 3 $1 off coupons, and the $4 razor coupon. Pretty good deal if I get the extra $5 in RR! =-)
P.S. This post sounds like a lot of stuff, but I buy for other members of my family that are not so coupon savvy. There are a LOT of people that I know that are hurting financially right now. =-P I do not have 500 of this type of thing lying around in my garage.
Neither walgreens in my town had the fish oils or the soy supplement :/ which is fine. I got the sob and the razor deal. Gonna head back to get a few things later when I feel up to it lol.
The deodorant was a little pricier at my store my store. This is what I did:
2 body wash $4.99 ea
2 deodorant $5.49 ea
1 fusion razor $9.89
Total $30.85
Used
BOGO body wash -4.99
-$2 body wash
BOGO deodorant -4.99 (max value)
-$1 deodorant
-$4 razor
Total $13.87 and got back $15 RR
Nice!
Woohoo! I found an amazing deal that wasn’t listed on here. The Gillette deodorants were B1G1 50% off so…
I did this scenario:
1 Gillette ProGlide Razor $9.89
6 Gillette Deodorant $4.99 each
Used:
1 $4/1 Gillette ProGlide Razor PG 6/5
3 B1G1 Gillette Deodorant RP 5/15
Not only that, but the Gillette Deodorants are on sale B1G1 50% off…so the register automatically took $7.50 off at the end of the transaction and coupons! (2.50 off each of 3 deodorants = 7.50).
I paid $13.36 out of pocket and got the $10 RR for buying $30 worth of products, and also got the $5 RR for the ProGlide razor!
Total = $1.64 Moneymaker for 7 products!!!
I hope this helps someone! I tried to explain it the easiest way I could.
Wow – none of the deodorants at my store were B1G1 50% off. Lucky You! 🙂
The deodorants were BOGO 50% off in my store, but it didn’t help me at all as the cashier only took off the 50% one with my BOGO coupons. Was she correct in doing that? I would have done better had they not been BOGO 50% off because I had to buy more to get to the $30 mark.
I too found the Gillette deodorant rang up B1G150% off (BGLP) but not for all of the varieties. The Odor Shield All day, Clear Gel Cool wave (4 oz.) and Clear shield cool wave rang up B1G150% off. The Clear gel sport scent and power beads cool wave did not ring up B1G150% off.
Sobe is delivered by Pepsi, we haven’t got our delivery yet, that may be the case in many stores. Pepsi sends out a salesperson, who may not have realized that Walgreens was adding Sobe back into the product line…
My store said they received no SoBe. They said it’s not a usual item they stock and they’re not sure if they will receive any. 🙁 All the Nivea body washes for men were sold out at my store by 2:00 p.m. However, they did have the women’s body wash marked as if they would work for RR also. I bought 3 and used the buy 2 get 1 free coupon. Felt pretty good about that one.
Only 3 Gillette body wash on the shelf first thing this morning, as well as only one Soy supplement. Totally messed up my transactions.
Otherwise, had a 15% coupon that was applied, so great deals all around. And because there weren’t enough body washes to get the RR, manager said he’s apply the 15% when the shipment comes in. Very excited.
Thanks for all your hard work.
no SoBe here either booo, that was my favorite item this week! lol
3 of the 4 stores I went to today didn’t even know they had the SoBe. All of them did, tho. But they were not tagged at any of the 4 stores. At the 4th store, the cashier did tell me ahead of time that they were indeed on sale (although I hadn’t asked).
One caveat I’m sure u r all aware of – be careful of the Gillette prices! I added mine very carefully and was only at 29.87 when I thought I should be over. Due to the B1G1 at lower price (BGLP)thing that the store didn’t have tagged. Whew! THAT was fun. LOL.
I didn’t do the Gillette deal at Walgreens because everything was marked so high, but I did do it at Rite Aid. They had basically the same deal (buy $30 get $10 +UP). They also had Gillette & Old Spice on sale for 2/$7, so I bought 8 Gillette deoderant, 1 Old Spice deoderant, and 1 Old Spice Body Wash. I used 4 BIG Gillette deo and 4 – $1/1 Gillette deoderant coupons and none of them beeped (and I didn’t know about the “14” thing). I also used 1 Buy one Old Spice deoderant and get a body wash free coupon AND a $3/$15 Rite Aid store survey coupon making each item a nickel.
I wish I would have known that the Gillette razor qualified in the Wags deal! It took me 4 stores starting at midnight to get the 8 razors for all the men in my family!
No Sobe at the 7 Stores I hit today.
Walgreen’s must of head a brain freeze on this one, really can’t remember when the last time they sold Sobe Water at the stores in Pembroke Pines and Cooper City.
I finally found SoBe at one of my stores! They were nice and let me do (2) transactions since I had not found it at the other (3) stores I visited.
Glad you found it Christie. My store had it too so yay!.
Question on the Garnier RR. I purchased 4 clearance Garnier shampoo’s but no RR. I checked the ad, which said $4 RR on $14. Is there anything I can take in to show them that it should be on any 4? They are very coupon friendly at my store, so I know they’d fix it if I could show them the RR deal you got. Thanks for your help…and I really appreciate your site. It is saving my family so much money.
Hi Cristie – 😉
No not really on the Garnier. But I would call catalina and tell them you purchased (4) and that your Register Reward didn’t print. Did you purchase any that were the bigger sizes? Only the smaller sizes seem to be working for the RR deal. I’d still try Catalina. Look under my FAQ for the phone number (you’d think I’d memorize it by now!).
Thanks, actually…yes, one was a bigger size. That’s why arghh.
I bought the smaller sized ones, but did see a sign for RR right under a clearance priced larger bottle (and I carefully read it to make sure it was included, it was). So, I think that the larger bottles should work. Definitely call.
Thanks Susan. I will call. I’m new at this and haven’t ever had to call before…what info will I need? I have my receipt.
Cristie ~
I have never called before either. But from what I have read, I think you only need your receipt. I think they can tell what you bought from a code on the receipt.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
No go. Catalina confirmed what Christie thought. Only 3 out of 4 of my products counted to get the reward. Bummer. Should have grabbed 4 smaller sizes, but I didn’t know that the bigger one didn’t count. Oh well…
Darn – well – I’d just return if if you can.
Sobe avail in my area with 1 rrw printed per customer…. I did get ahold of a dozen as my daughter suffers from kidney disease and WATER is all recommended she drinks besides several real fruit juices….She breast feeds and needs all the hydration she can get,,,,hopefully we wont have ANOTHER hospitalization!
I’m confused on the Reach toothbrush deal. Which of the single toothbrushes qualify for the RR. I thought the deal was only on 2 brush packs.
There are several varieties included. You can see all the different varieties at my super deals for the week…
https://wildforwags.com//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////walgreens-deals/2011/06/04/walgreens-deals-6-5/
Christie,
I’ve got a question. This week Old Spice is on sale for Buy One Get One 50% off in the Wags ad. There was a Buy One Get One Free Coupon in today’s paper. How would this transaction work?
Thanking you in advance for your help!
Well – what the cashier should do is give you the lower price item free. However in reality it depends. Many times the 50% off doesn’t come off till the end and the cashier will take off the full amount, then when they subtotal the 50% comes off. So plan for the lower priced item to be free.
My walgreens really made me aggravated today. First of all, every item i wanted to buy the store had put a limit of 2 on. How am i supposed to buy $30 worth of Gillette items if i am limited to only 2 body-washes, and 2 deodorants. They had a limit of 1 Sobe, 1 Gillette razor, 2 Nivea body washes, and 2 Nivea face washes. i got all i could but didn’t do the kind of damage i wanted to. I split into 3 transactions because i scored the Bic razors for 5.99 with a 2.00 RR on each, and i had a $3.00 off each.I also got the Red Baron Pizza 3/$10 and had $1 off walgreens coupon and $.75 off man. coupon. bringing them down to 1.58 each.
Thanks so much for all your hard work. When i heard the razors were double dippin on the RR i ran out, but they had fixed the glitch by the time i got there. All in all i got about 80 bucks worth for 24 ish, Thanks to your site!
Wow – I’m impressed that you found $.75/1 on the Red Baron! 🙂
i know right, and i had 3 of them!
Wouldn’t you get more register rewards if you did two separate transactions:
Buy 2-2pks
Use (2)$2/1 peelies
Pay $1
Get 3RR for wk deal and 1RR for month deal
If you did this transaction twice, you’ll end up with a $8RR and a $6 moneymaker? Or is my math off? LOL
Your math is right Monica. Some people have stores that are friendlier about doing multiple transactions than others. So if your store is cool with it – do two. 🙂
I found a couple sobe in the refrig section and they also had some in those coolers right by the checkstands, where the soda and water are.
DO be carful on the Gillette deal, I had some bodywashes ring up for only $3.59 instead of $4.49 so i was under (but got it fixed at the register).
I found the Soy womens vits on the back end cap of one of the isles.
Be on the lookout for the Gillette Fusion Pro-glide bonus pack! It has a sticker on the front that says up to $12 value and includes travel size cooling lotion, thermal face scrub and body wash in addition to the razor. It rings up $9.89, prints the $5 RR and counts for the $10RR wyb $30.
It looks like this:
http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/gillette-fusion-proglide-razor-and-cartridge/ID=prod6038973-product
Does the $4 coupon work with this bonus pack?
Yes it works on the bonus packs. My store had tons of those & I’ve been buying those instead of the regular razors.
Thanks so much for the tip on the bonus pack! It wasn’t labeled at my store, so I gave it a try anyway and it worked fine. = )
I did this deal at Walgreens by my house here in CA and it took the $4 off coupon for the bonus pack and worked fine towards my $30 RR deal, however it did not give me the $5 for the razor. Just the $10 on $30.
My store didnt have any peelies on the toothbrushes 🙁
Could you buy two razors and two deodorants to fufill the 30 dollars? I don’t need more bodywash! Thanks 🙂
We showed up bright and early at our WAGS and grabbed up all the FISH OIL deals only to be met with the manager that said they had to put a limit on the HIGH DOLLAR RR of one per visit. I had my hubby with me so i figured that meant two for us……He said no, but would do it this time. Got to give a little when we were doing like 8 transactions and getting some really good deals.
This whole making rules up as you go is tough to swallow.
We went to get a flyer and couldnt find any of the deals we were getting. Started looking at the dates and it was a flyer for NEXT week?? What is up with that? Guess we got our sneak peak really early.
Missed the Reach and Tide deals but will try to catch them later in the week – “When the truck comes in”
Thanks for all the information on your site.
PS-What do we do with $85 worth of RR that have to be used in 2 weeks? LOL
Merideth, I agree–
I get up Sunday mornings and am one of the first couponers walking into the doors but if I have coupons for 4 products and theres only 4 stocked on the shelf, I only take 2 (then ask a cashier if there are more in the back). Please leave something for the next person. Nothing bothers me more than when someone clears the shelf. You know you are not the only couponer in your town. Highly frowned upon.
I think that the majority of people on here won’t be happy to hear about your clearing the shelves. That is not in the spirit of couponers. I went to 4 different Walgreens stores doing one transaction at each. I bought 1 of the bottles that you cleared. And 2 Bic Razors, 2 Proglide razors, 4 Gillette Deodorant, 2 Gillette Body Wash, 4 Garnier Hair products and 4 Sobe waters (1 at each store). I only buy what my family can use. And even if we could use more, I am respectful of other shoppers. It is just not nice to clear the shelves.
You tried to grab all they had? Didn’t you stop for one second and think that maybe you aren’t Walgreen’s only customer? That maybe others want a box, too? Someone needs to revisit Kindergarten and learn how to share.
Whoa, that didnt come out right. We grabbed all the FISH OIL deals that we planned on doing. It was four. Not like we were getting dozens of them. And my hubby gladly handed them to the couponer right behind us in line for their use, with the coupons we didnt use. Our store barely stocks any of the high dollar FREE items so we were really excited to even see them there.
Thank you for clarifying. I’m sorry if I was a bit harsh in my rebuke.
Nobody has mentioned the GREAT deal on John Freida hair products yet! B1G1 50% off, and there was $5.00 off coupon in today’s paper for John Freida Full Repair treatment, styler, or finisher. Items were $6.99 each, I got two and used two coupons, retail total $13.98 but I paid $.48! I almost passed out at the total. Must collect more coupons from my neighbors for this deal!
THERE WAS NO SOBE AT MY FIRST STORE EITHER BECAUSE THE TRUCK DOESN’T COME TILL THURSDAY BUT THE 2ND STORE HAD THEM. GOOD LUCK FINDING THEM. CAN’T YOU GET ONE EVERY TRANSACTION?
No wonder no one else can get anything!!!! I’m disgusted!!!!
On the BIC razor RR deal – be on the lookout for clearance men’s razors. I found the BIC something Advanced, it was a sports addition, and they were marked down to $3.39. I used the $3/1 Q from this weeks RP?, paid .60, and got the $2 RR. Made 1.40 per razor pack! 🙂
Nice! 🙂
The store I work at has over a hundred bottles of sobe! While we don’t carry them in the main cooler, most Walgreens should carry them in their pepsi cooler by the front register!
I was able to find three fish oils and one sobe at my store today! These fish oils were the only thing in my ad matchups left…the rest of the items were completely sold out!!!i went around four this afternoon! I was shocked to find everything gone..but i do i have a question….i take
Fish oil daily and will use the tgree i found! However they were the last three on the shelf…but thats. Not “shelf clearing” right? I mean its not my fault they were the last three….right? Or am i wrong for this? Thanks for all your help christie!!!! I just want to make sure im not being a bad couponer…i want to do this right!!! Thanks again:)
Tiffany, this is my opinion, and I’m sure that some others here will disagree with me. Walgreens limits RRs to one per transaction for a reason. For RR deals, I only do one per store, or one per day at an individual store. For free high-dollar items, the stock is almost always VERY limited. Most people are lucky to find even one. I believe you should only take one per store, and leave some for others. Something else to consider: How are you going to use all those high-dollar RRs within two weeks without buying unnecessary or full-price items? If you do so, you have defeated your purpose. The fish oil has not been a free item for you if you have to wantonly spend in order to use your RRs.
I actually had a great Walgreens trip this evening. They were out of the Fish Oil and still no calcium, but I will check back on those later.
I got four 2-packs of the Reach toothbrushes to add to my donation bin, used 4 $2/1 coupons and got $7 in Register Rewards.
The cashier said he always sees me getting all these great deals and how cool it is. He then asked if I had any extra Reach coupons. I had four more $2/1 coupons with me and gladly gave them to him and told him how to work the deal. Yeah… I could have done the deal again myself, but it made me really happy to pass them on to share the wealth. 😀
I had several customers try to do the Gillette deal “spend $30 get $10rr ” with the razor included as part of the $30. It did not work. The only reward received was the $5rr from the razor. Not sure if maybe it was a gliche. So heads up if you are trying it. It might not work anymore.
bummer if it stopped working….it worked for me twice yesterday….maybe the other stuff they bought didnt qualify?? I bought the bodywash/razor/shavecream(the3.50 size) and it worked:)
After reading about the lack of stock I thought it would be the same at my store but to my surprise it seemed like nobody bought the Omega Fish oils, they were placed everywhere. I don’t use it so I didn’t buy one either. Plenty of stock on the razors and toothbrushes. Will go back to get more toothbrushes! 🙂
No Sobe at my WG, but the manager said I could substitute with vitamin water. Since she had to override the register, and I was purchasing 4, she rang all 4 at $0!!! and no seperate transactions either!!!
Tried the Gillette deal at my store last night, did not work. I bought the razor, 2 body wash and 2 deodorants. I used the coupons listed my total came to around $32 before coupons. Only the $5 RR printed. I talked to the manager and she said sometimes with the buy one coupons the RR don’t print. So she retuned everything for me and gave back my coupons. Might try a different Walgreens. Hope the rest of you had better luck!
In the first transaction above, just wondering why you said to use (1) $2/1 Body wash? If you have more it would really make this a great deal – couldn’t you use a couple of them?
I went to a different Walgreens yesterday & was happily surprised to find they had most of the deals I wanted to buy. I didn’t break it into mult transactions because they seemed to be low on cashiers & there were a ton of people in line once I started checking out.
But my original total was $95. Once I used my coupons the total went down to $54 & I ended up with $37 RR. I was super happy to have gotten so much stuff for $17!!!
I had an awful experience at Walgreens yesterday. Every single coupon I had would not ring through. Everything I had was legit, I wasn’t trying to scam or anything, but it would scan and beep as if it went through, but it wouldn’t, so it took the cashier about 5 tries per coupon to get it to work, and times that by like 15 coupons I had, it made for very irritated customers in line behind me, I felt bad, but it wasn’t my fault. Then after a 15 minute cash out, the RR for Dr. Scholl’s didn’t print. I didn’t see where it was in the ad that said $8 RR, and neither did the manager so they wouldn’t give one to me. I finally noticed the ad after I got home, so I am going to return the Dr. Scholl’s. Anyone else have this problem with Dr. Scholl’s? But got a super deal on ChexMix and Starbucks ice cream 🙂 that makes up for a horrible experience!
Does your store have the new scanners? I bet that was it!
Yeh I think they are the new scanners, because I had gone a couple of weeks ago and the worker was complaining about the new scanners how they are supposed to be new, but they don’t scan very well. It seems to happen about half of the times I go there. Some transcations go so smoothly, yesterdays unfortunately was a disaster!
Question regarding the Gilette deal… I plan on using your first scenario (the razor and 5 BWs) and I have the same coupons. Since I am getting 6 items with 4 MQ, can I use 2RRs from a previous transaction? Or, since the B1G1 Qs attach to both products, will I need 2 filler items in order to use 2 RRs?? Thanks!
Yes you can use 2 RR’s just make sure they are not PNG RR’s
I work at Wags and i checked my store before the sale and we had plenty of fish oil, sobe, but no soy things, (or at least I couldnt find them).
Also as far as shelf clearing/making up rules go, please dont get mad or upset if a store limits you, on the back of the ad it says “stores have a right to limit sale”.
Lisa,
Thanks for your response! I just looked at it like since i use the fish oil daily anyway,it was a great way for me to use my rr’s i had and get a product that i use and still have the rr’s to get my other transactions for the week. I will have nonproblem using the rr’s even on other stuff. Also,i needed to stock up on the fish oil anyway since it was on sale for 10 dollars and is normally 25!!! So all in all the fish oil will last me three months and i think that could get me thru til next deal. So from my point of view i did good because it was a product i will use dailyand would have bought Anyway…so to me three is not too many but maybe im wrong. The cashier didnt complain about doing three transCtions for me. if they had i would havr gladly waited but seeing as there were no other rr deals in my store to be had i figured i might as well flip all my rr’s and get a product ill use:) thanks so much for the comments and thanks for the site christy!!!
My store doesn’t carry the Gillette Body Wash, and only had 2 deodorants left when I went in yesterday after church. Also, no peelies on the toothbrushes, nor did we get the coupon in our paper. 🙁 Not as good a day as I had hoped…
I had no idea the Gillette B1G1 coup was coded to not alloy the $$ off in addition! I even asked the cashier if I could use them in addition to the B1G1 and she said yes. So, I bought 6 body wash and 2 deodorant, used 4 B1G1 and 3 of the $2.00 bodywash coups and 1 of the $1.00 off deodorant coupons to make for quite a fantastic deal!!! 🙂
Does anyone know if the gillette razor still applies to the $30 total or is the deal dead?
Got the Gillette deal today and at my store in MA. The body wash was $4.99, so I scrambled around a bit to get to the $30.00 total. I noticed the Fusion Shave Gel was included in the RR deal (priced at $4.49). When I scanned it at the price-checker (I got in the habit of doing this to avoid surprises at the register), it was coming up at 50% off. You can use the -$1/1 Gillette Fusion Shave Prep from this week’s P&G, making it only $1.25.
I went in today and I did the gilette scenario:
2 deodorants (used bogo + 1 $1 coupon)
2 body washes (used bogo + 1 $2 coupon)
1 razor
They rang up my coupons and everything was taken off correctly but I did not get the $10 RR, I only got back $5 for the razor. What did I do wrong? 🙁
The Gillette $30 rebate including the razor worked for me in Wisconsin tonight. I got my $10 & my $5
I figured out what I did wrong(even if the cashier couldn’t figure it out or care to tell me)… I was .15 short of $30!!! I am going to try to return the items and re-do it, hope they let me since they took my coupons…..
Uh – $.15! Something have been a few cents less at your store – definitely return and adjust!
Thank you so much for all your hard work. I love your site and hope that you will keep doing this for new couponing like me it really helpful
If you can use refills more than other gillette items to fill your $30 quota you might consider the 4 cartridge pack. The ones at my Walgreen’s come with a sample body wash as well as a $2 off body wash coupon that good until 5/30/12.
Love your website!!!!!! Thank u so much 🙂
Did the Gillette deal today using the razor as one of the items to meet the $30, and it did not print the $10 RR. Just the $5. Really made the deal not as worth it in the end. So just beware if you were planning to do this-looks like they have ‘fixed’ it. 🙁
Hi, because of the comment from Karie, I decided to call my store ahead of time, and the lady said, “I just got an email today about that….” and the fact is that the gillette razor will not be permitted in the $30 deal. Just thought I’d pass along the info I got (out here in CO).
That’s why today my $10 RR didn’t print ! Luckily my store has a nice manager and gave me a $10 gift card 🙂
I work at Walgreens, we got an email from corporate this morning at 8 saying the Proglide razors were not meant to be part of the Gillette Deal and that they fixed the “problem.” booo
Well, the razor is pictured in the ad as a participating product !
The picture in the Gillette ad is actually not the Proglide razor, as you can see it is a gift bag. All stores should have received them for our 06/18 Saturdate, but I’ve noticed that alot of beauty advisors have been stashing them in the back so they don’t all sell out beforehand. I think they are $14.99 this week, and on sale next week with a RR. It includes a full sized shaving cream, body wash, thermal face scrub, and Proglide.
ahhh…so that’s why my $10 RR did not print today!

This was my first attempt doing this. I should have called ahead of time and went back to your blog for an update. Walgreens is super confusing!!!
I’m sure I can return all the items I’ve purchased, but will I get my coupons back too? I want to repeat the purchase 🙁
Don’t feel bad .. my transaction was a hot mess! I didn’t know that the razors were no longer part of the RR deal and the manager kept telling me it didn’t print because I used coupons and that I had to spend $30 AFTER coupons … even though I told her NO that’s not true. So I ended up having the whole transaction voided, and re-rang it adding some more body wash, paid more out of pocket than I would have liked, and FINALLY got my $10 RR, … and few more gray hairs I think 🙂
