*HOT* Updates From the Field 8/8!

by Christie Bisbee on August 8, 2010

I’ve got a HOT deal to report! The Secret Soothing Effects was on clearance at my store AND producing the $3 RR from the Secret/Venus deal!

*Get a $3 RR WYB (1) 3 pack Venus Embrace Disposable Razors,Venus Embrace or Breeze Razor System, Secret Anti-P/Deo 1.6 oz. (Clinical Pictured) $8.99

There isn’t a coupon that I’m aware of for this deal so what a FABULOUS filler! 😉

Buy
1 – Secret Soothing Effects Calming Garden or Invigorating Rain $2.29
Total = $2.29, Get Back $3 RR
= $.71 Money Maker!

I have several e-mails that some of you are finding this too! (Thanks Melanie, Becky, Jennifer & Jill!) So check your stores, I’m sure this one will FLY off the shelves! Don’t forget about the $10/$30 MIR HERE too!

UPDATE – Our buddy over at Debbie Does Coupons, just let me know that the Secret is ROLLING!  My word, can this deal get any better. 🙂 Just be sure to throw in $.71 worth of something so you can use the $3 RR! This is the SAME register reward deal as the Secret Clinical and the Venus Razor so don’t buy one of those in the same transaction.

I bought two on Friday and they did not have register rewards advertised. There is a coupon in the 8-1-10 P&G insert $5.00 off a Olay Regenerist Facial moisturizer when you buy any one Secret soothing effects.

Christie August 8, 2010 at 4:11 pm

Hi Lisa – The Register Reward deal wasn’t valid on Friday so it wouldn’t have printed. Thanks for the Olay Coupon!

Amy August 8, 2010 at 6:07 pm

There is a coupon available: I got a coupon booklet from inside one of these clinical strength secret boxes that had $15 in savings and one of the coupons is a $1 off clinical strength secret

Reply

Amy August 8, 2010 at 7:13 pm

ok disregard my last comment, I just realized that the one you are talking about isn’t clinical strength, its just in the same type of box

Heidi August 8, 2010 at 7:16 pm

I just tried this and the rr didn’t print for me. There wasn’t a sign posted that it would get Register Rewards, but I thought I would try it anyway. I am in the test/pilot area, so maybe that is the reason??? Sometimes we have different sales/promotions than everyone else…

Katie August 8, 2010 at 8:10 pm

I went to my store thinking there was no way it would be on sale so cheap there – and IT WAS!!! I was so excited! I didn’t know at the time that the RR were rolling, so I just purchased 2 in 2 separate transactions. There were a lot at my store. I may go back tomorrow and use my RR on them and try to roll them. I’m so excited that women’s deoderant is finally a deal! I feel like all the deals are always for the men!

Reply

Melissa August 8, 2010 at 8:42 pm

Don’t get too excited like I did and purchase 2 or more in the same transaction. One at a time! Purchased 2 and only got 1 register reward. I hate it when I do that. Such a good deal 🙂 Thank you for all your hard work and letting us know about these deals.

Reply

Kristi August 8, 2010 at 8:44 pm

I found these too and they were all in stock at both stores like I was the only one who knew about it. SOOO exciting! I wish I had known it was rolling, though. Bummer.

Jesicca August 8, 2010 at 9:10 pm

I found some for $2.49 so a MM here too!!! thanks a lot

Any luck finding these in a St Louis Walgreens? Please share location. Thanks!

Michelle August 8, 2010 at 10:58 pm

Thanks for the heads up on this one. I actually was able to find this deal at my Wags. Did this one with the Nivea special and then kept rolling with the Dial RR. Fabulous week for some womens body wash/
Thanks again.

ali August 8, 2010 at 11:36 pm

Don’t forget about the $10 rebate WYB $30…I’m pretty sure it included Secret products, right? Free, Rolling, and a Rebate…holy smokies!

Reply

LISA W. August 8, 2010 at 11:43 pm

Jen, “rolling” means that the Register Reward from your first purchased item can be used to purchase the next one and you will still get another Register Reward. This is very rare at Walgreens so it’s worth noting and sharing when it does happen.

Usually, if you use a Register Reward to pay for the same identical item, you will not receive another Reward.

Hope this helps.

LISA W. August 8, 2010 at 11:45 pm

Please do share what area you’re in, especially for those in test areas. It always helps.

Thanks.

heather s August 8, 2010 at 11:45 pm

I did this at my store, and the RR sign was up and all, and it didn’t print… I used the 10 alive rr to pay do you think that interfered??

Reply

Christie August 8, 2010 at 11:58 pm

Heather – No that shouldn’t have done anything. I suggest calling the Catalina company for your RR.

creativecoupons August 8, 2010 at 11:59 pm

I used my $10.00 Alive Vitamin RR and the $3.00 RR printed. I was also able to buy two Olay regenerist cleansers and use the 8/1/10 $5.00 off when you purchase soothing secrets and the BOGOF Olay facial cleanser (max $6.99) from 7/11/10 SS. The second one beeped and he checked to make sure it was facial cleanser and not limited and then said it was probably because it was max $6.99 and manually entered for me. I added those little notebooks 5/$1.00 for filler and was able to get all for $11.91. Thanks so much for the tip from the field. I love it when I can get products I use regularly for almost free (and I really needed the womens deodorant. Oh I did not try to roll I feel funny doing several single transactions. The first two stores were wiped out and this one only had about 6. I’m happy with such a great deal on these pricey items actually for me this time:)

Carol August 9, 2010 at 12:10 am

I got three! What a great deal. Thanks so much!

Rebecca August 9, 2010 at 12:25 am

I found Crest Pro Health Enamel Shield toothpaste clearanced for .87 and used a .75/1 Crest Toothpaste from the 8/01 P&G and paid a total of .26 for two! It was the 4.2 bottle.

Reply

Jen August 9, 2010 at 12:30 am

Thanks Lisa! I am going to go get some more tomorrow!

I found some in Austin and Pflugerville, TX.

Lynn August 9, 2010 at 12:52 am

I’m in the Vancouver, WA (Portland test pilot area) and it was on sale for $2.29 but no RR printed for me.

Reply

Melissa August 9, 2010 at 1:05 am

Did you all that got them and got the RR had the sign up? My store didnt and wasnt sure about trying it…

Reply

Christie August 9, 2010 at 2:06 am

Lynn – Does your test market have the $3 RR for the Venus & Secret Clinical? That’s what this $3 RR is from. If they don’t have that RR deal then this won’t print.

Reply

Brittany August 9, 2010 at 8:23 am

I was able to get two without a problem (separate transactions)!

Reply

Cynthia August 9, 2010 at 8:49 am

Mine had the sign but the price was the original $8.99, not clearance price. Arizona.

Reply

Kells August 9, 2010 at 9:46 am

Mine only had the clearane sign, no RR sign. The deal worked for me perfectly!! I used .79 pencils as my filler each time and paid .08.

Reply

Jori August 9, 2010 at 9:46 am

Cynthia, My store was the same. Original price at 8.99, but the shelves were empty. They were on clearance Friday, so is it possible they pulled them because of the sale? My store is very annoying.

Lsa August 9, 2010 at 10:06 am

How do you get the $10 rebate for buying $30 ?

Reply

katey August 9, 2010 at 10:11 am

there no sale .. 8.99 darn!

Reply

Pam August 9, 2010 at 10:14 am

I went to my store also after I saw this yesterday and it wasn’t on sale either. $8.99 with the $3 RR!

Reply

Jeni August 9, 2010 at 12:23 pm

Just bought 2! Great deal! Is the RR still rolling today, Monday 8/9?

Reply

Allison August 9, 2010 at 12:30 pm

It is rolling in Arkansas!! Just got 4, left the others for someone else. I hate it when someone clears the shelf!! Also, the crest toothpaste @ .87 with .75 MQ!! Paid $8 for two FULL bags of stuff!! WAHOO!!!!

Reply

katie August 9, 2010 at 12:52 pm

Im minorly obsessed with this deal! I bought 2 last night but didn’t know the RR were rolling. Today i went to a different store (where they were 0.50 cheaper). And bought 3 more! This time i rolled the RR and got 3 deoderants and 4 candy bars for 0.70! Both stores had completely full shelves. I might go back tomorrow to see if they still have them. Im giving the extras to my sisters and ill donate some at christmas time.

Lsa August 9, 2010 at 1:03 pm

Does anyone know where the rebate form can be found?

Maria August 9, 2010 at 1:18 pm

Hello. Just want to share with you that Q-tips has $3 RR at my store so you may want to check that out too. I didn’t buy yet, because I remember I have a Q-tips coupon at home. I’ll go back to the store tonight and I’ll update you guys again.

I was able to find the soothing deodorant on clearance with the signs for the RR in Northern MN – worked great! Have not tried to roll it yet, but there are lots left at our store so I will definitely be back. The Right Guard was not B1G1 at our store, though.

Kathy August 9, 2010 at 3:58 pm

Rolling in Bothell, WA (near Seattle)! It was on sale for $2.59. Bought the first one, RR printed. Bought the second and added the 2 Bic pens (for .29 each after their coupons) and rolled the RR. Printed another RR! The shelves were still stocked (even after I bought 3) at Thrashers corner Walgreens.

Reply

Sherri August 9, 2010 at 4:49 pm

I am in a test market (Kansas City). I went to 2 different WAGS. At one store it was marked down to $2.29 and at the other it was marked down to $2.59. However, there were no register reward signs at either store and neither store generated a register reward. Bummer!

Reply

Christie August 9, 2010 at 4:55 pm

Do you have the Secret 1.6oz Register Reward deal in your ad in the test markets? It would be in your ad.

Reply

Christine August 9, 2010 at 5:24 pm

Rolling in Memphis, TN! Yippie!

Reply

Sarah P August 9, 2010 at 5:38 pm

Store in Sycamore, IL had them marked as 8.99 w/ $3RR, but I had a cashier check the price and they rang up at 2.29, so they were a moneymaker for me!

Reply

aneesha August 9, 2010 at 5:51 pm

Went this morning in orlando, fl. I paid 2.44 for the first and then got 4 packs of the .19 and the secret and paid .25. Then I got the secret and 2 packs of Hanes socks for DD and paid 2.76. I just hope its still rolling this evening 🙂

Neal August 9, 2010 at 6:12 pm

They didn’t have that sort of deal in my Wags today. I looked. I’m from the Central Indiana area. So, I guess not all deals are equal.

Reply

Amanda August 9, 2010 at 6:13 pm

I bought one of in the same transaction with the the venus razor… and it didnt print my rr for the razor so they must be the same RR not sure.

Reply

Christie August 9, 2010 at 6:39 pm

Amanda – Yes, this is the same deal as the Secret Clinical and the Venus Razor!

Reply

Heidi August 9, 2010 at 6:47 pm

Christie,
I am in the test market (Vancouver, WA) and I just checked the ad. It has Secret (1.6 oz) and Venus razors for 8.99 but you get an additional 1000 bonus points when you buy these items. They did have the same ones on clearance for 2.29, but it didn’t print anything when I bought it. The same thing happened with the Febreze deal a few weeks ago. We don’t get the same deals in our market.

Reply

Christie August 9, 2010 at 6:58 pm

Thanks Heidi – Since the Secret Soothing Effects is part of that deal you guys should be getting 1,000 bonus points for buying it instead of a RR. I know it must be frustrating to be in the test market sometimes. Wish I could make it print a $3 RR for you instead! So what do you guys get if you buy the Venus cartridges in addition to the Secret? Anything? More bonus points?

Reply

Samantha August 9, 2010 at 7:04 pm

I got this deal in LaGrange, NY Walgreens. Secret Smoothing Effects was $2.29 with $3 RR. I also was surprised to get a $3 RR for any Maybelline cosmetics. I’m not sure what triggered this. I bought vitamins, toothpaste and toothbrushes, but no makeup.

Reply

Julie August 9, 2010 at 7:29 pm

I am also in the test market and I HATE, HATE, HATE it. I do not want them to use this system. The points are not a deal at all and the cashiers don’t even ask for your card. I found the secret at $2.29 but no RR. I was so bummed.

Reply

Heidi August 9, 2010 at 7:32 pm

Christie-Thanks! A RR would have been way better than points! It takes forever to earn points because it is actual dollars spent (after coupons/RR used) or you can earn additional points for special items. Oh, and it just looks like we earn 1000 bonus points for each Secret or Venus Embrace we buy. I’m curious to see if the clearance item will work. I just checked my account and I only have 1530 points and I’ve been using it a few times a week since May. So, 1000 bonus points would be nice! An Amazon gc is 3000 points.

Reply

Heidi August 9, 2010 at 7:34 pm

Oops! I meant to say a $5 Amazon gift card is 3000 points (just for perspective).

Reply

wendy August 9, 2010 at 7:36 pm

I am in a test area(Portland, Oregon). It was on sale, but no reward!!! Kind of bummed!

Reply

Christie August 9, 2010 at 7:41 pm

Hi Wendy – It’s because your area didn’t offer the $3 RR for Venus or Secret. See Heidi’s post above.

I went to a store in Grand Rapids, Michigan and was able to get the deal on the Secret. They had quite a few on the shelves.

I did this one with the Schick deal- got deodorant, Schick razor 7.99- $5 q in Sunday paper and a Schick shave gel (free with coupon on razor)= $5.28- $5 RR from P&G (Gilette razor from a week back) and paid .28 and got back $2 and $3 RR!! YIPPEE!! This deal is rolling any P&G Register Reward. Will do this one again tomorrow with Benadryl deal!

Maria T. August 9, 2010 at 11:40 pm

I found these tonight at the Alameda, CA Walgreens. They were originally $9.99 and marked down to $2.59. They are also generating a $3.00 Register Reward. Not quite as big of a money maker as some parts of the country, but $0.41 and a chance to roll some other Register Rewards works for me! 🙂 Thanks for the heads up!

Reply

Angela August 10, 2010 at 9:42 am

I was able to get a few of these in the Akron OH area. They are Rolling and on clearance so its a money maker here!

Brittany August 10, 2010 at 1:07 pm

Im kinda of scared to roll it so im just going to use my 4rr from buying the contact solution and get the secret and the use the secret rr to buy another contact solution and I will add some off the .99 cent nail polish Im in love with it 🙂

What a great deal! Can anyone verify if this is still rolling today? Thank you!

liz August 11, 2010 at 1:38 am

is the amount for the rebate 2.29 or the orig. price of 8.99

Reply

Christie August 11, 2010 at 1:57 am

Hi Liz – The rebate will be the $2.29 price, since that’s what is on the receipt.

Reply

Brenda August 11, 2010 at 2:16 pm

Heidi-
I’m in the test area too and the clearance secret will work for the 1,000 bonus points(I checked my account). I sure wish we could get the 3RR but 1,000 points is equal to $2.50 which after tax is a whopping .02 MM! Oh well, better than nothing I guess. Also, did you know that you can get Walgreens giftcards for less points than the other ones? At first I was working on getting an Amazon giftcard when I realized it would be a better deal to get a wag giftcard and use it like a RR. Once you add the 1,000 points to your 1,530 you qualify for a $5 wag card (they are 2,000 points). Just something to keep in mind.

Dania August 11, 2010 at 10:59 pm

They had these priced at 9.99 with no sale sign or RR advertised. I had the cashier at the beauty counter price check it and it came up $2.59!!! So I went ahead and purchased it to see if the RR would print, and it did! Even the cashier was surprised.

I will say that this particular Walgreens (Miami) is HORRIBLE at posting signage. The Dial body wash RR deal was also not advertised in-store as well as the BOGO Lysol Toilet bowl cleaner. It;s so annoying to go to the store and not have signs posted about sales and RR deals. I can understand them not having these up first thing Sunday morning, but Wednesday??? Sheesh!

Reply

deanna August 11, 2010 at 11:49 pm

the walgreens i work at didn’t have any of these left tonight. corporate sent an email today to remove RR signage. a lot of good that’ll do!! highly doubt anything was done in the system to change price or stop RR.

Gotta love walgreens deals.
I’m totally loving the deal on kotex products. combining the $2 IVC coupon from the august coupon book with any MQs makes a lovely price.

Reply

Christie August 12, 2010 at 12:00 am

Deanna – That’s interesting that they were told to remove signs. I love how Walgreens wants all their deals to be a secret.

Kathy August 12, 2010 at 1:54 pm

Today at one local store (Central FL) the RR was no longer printing.

Brie August 13, 2010 at 9:26 am

I found this deal in Denton, TX and my RR didn’t print. There was a sign right under the product that stated that it qualified. I talked to the manager and he stated that I had to buy the Secret product and the Gillete product. I looked in the weekly ad and it did not state that. Any tips on how I can get my RR?

Reply

Christie August 13, 2010 at 10:12 am

Yep that was wrong Brie but they’ll make up all kinds of stuff, ugh. If you still have your receipt, call Catalina – See my post HERE.

Kim August 14, 2010 at 3:45 pm

RR is NOT printing anymore for the clearance Secret. I did the deal earlier in the week and got my RR’s, tried this morning and there were no signs up underneath the clearance Secret anymore, but I still tried it… NO RR!! Oh well, it was fun while it lasted!
