Walgreens – Updates From the Field 3/13!

by Christie Bisbee on March 13, 2011

Here are some updates from my trip to hopefully make your trip go a little smoother!

PUREX DEAL

Good News! The $2/1 Purex coupon is NOT preventing the $2/1 Purex Register Reward from printing! Yippeee! So that means that we can get $.99 Purex with no problems. This is only an issue when occasionally a Register Reward is the same dollar amount as the coupon you are using. If they are code the same the register can’t tell the difference between the RR and the coupon and thinks you are trying to roll the Register Reward.

Get $2 RR WYB Purex Complete Fabric Softener 32 loads $4.99
– $1/1 Purex Complete Crystals Softener PRINT or PRINT
-$2/1 Purex any Complete Crystals Softener 03-13-11 RPx4/30

= AS LOW AS $.99 EACH!

IRISH SPRING DEAL

I know some of you just got $.50/1 coupons for Irish Spring (including me!). Don’t forget if you missed the $1/1 from coupons.com (of course they pulled it right before the sale) you should still be able to get (2) prints HERE after entering the contest.

RENUZIT DEAL

I was happy to find lots of Renuzit at my store. These are a really good deal coming in at either $.40 each or $.04 each depending on how your store rings you up. If the store takes off the price prior to the in ad coupon than it will look like this.

BUY
6 – Renuzit 2/$3
-B3G3 FREE Renuzit Adjustables (same size up to $4.17) 3-13-11 RP x3/27
Total = 4.50
– In ad Q (Takes off $.71 EACH)
Total = $.24 or $.04 EACH

If your store takes off the in ad coupon first, than it will look like this…

BUY
6 – Renuzit 2/$3
Total = $9
– In ad Q (Takes off $.71 EACH)
-B3G3 FREE Renuzit Adjustables (same size up to $4.17) 3-13-11 RP x3/27
Total = $2.37 or $.40 EACH

HERBAL ESSENCES DEAL

There is also a NEW coupon in the SmartSource today that gives us an even better deal on Herbal Essences.

BUY
(1) Herbal Essences or Aussie Hair Care 6 – 14oz $2.99
(1) Herbal Essences or Aussie Styler $2.99
Total = $5.98
-B1G1 FREE Herbal Essences or Aussie Product get (1) Styler FREE (ets to $3.23)
-$1/1 Herbal or Aussie Product, Any – P&G Everyday Savings x6/30

= AS LOW AS $.50 EACH!

Has anybody else tried this? I would also like to use the Irish Spring RR to pay for Dial, but I can redo my transactions if this won’t work… Hmmm…

Stacie March 13, 2011 at 3:57 pm

Didn’t you say you used an Irish spring RR to pay for dial in trans. 2? Why wouldn’t it work again?

Reply

April M. March 13, 2011 at 5:41 pm

Exactly! I didn’t get it either and was really so mentally tired by the end of it, I just let it go. I am going to roll the RRs.

Was wondering if anyone used the Wags diaper coupon on the training pants?

Reply

Katrina March 13, 2011 at 5:57 pm

Wags diaper coupon won’t work on the training pants, it will beep. It is for diapers only. I still stocked up on the training pants today as well as the diapers though.

Reply

Pam March 13, 2011 at 1:57 pm

where can I find the B1G1 for the Herbal Essence deal?

It was in today’s paper in the Smart Source insert!

Oh rats I did not get it….we never never never get good coupons…

Laci March 13, 2011 at 2:29 pm

@grace- I tried the wags diaper Q on the training pants and it dies NOT work! Bummer! But I still bought them still a good deal I thought.

Reply

grace March 13, 2011 at 4:26 pm

Laci, I tried it too and just wanted to know if it worked for anyone. I agree that it is still a good deal and I was down to my last one

Reply

Kim March 13, 2011 at 2:47 pm

The Herbal Essence should also give you a $1 RR back.

mel March 14, 2011 at 6:42 pm

I was wondering how her math worked on that one! thanks!

The Excedrin is ringing up BOGO 50 % off.
I only had 2 of the $2.50 off coupons and then two of the $1 off.
It looks like this:
Excdrn pm tab 24s 4.99 BGLP
Excdrn pm tab 24s 4.99 BGLP
Excdrn pm tab 24s 4.99 BGLP
Excedrin PM 20s 5.49 (i had to get this one to bring my total over $20.00, I was hoping it would be BGLP, but it wasn’t….so not as great of a deal as i had hoped)
minus 2.50
minus 2.50
minus 1.00
minus 1.00
then 2.50 for 50% off
total was 10.46 and I got back 10RR

I was able to do the BOGO Right Guard with no problems! 🙂 Also got the Renuzit and Purex and Irish Spring.

Maria O. March 13, 2011 at 3:39 pm

Hi Stacia: Did the $10 RR printed?? Really? Your total was $17.96 after the 50%off on one of them. Any thoughts?? TIA

Reply

stacia March 13, 2011 at 5:23 pm

yep, just what Sean said! The 50% off comes off at the end after they hit “total”. And yes, I got my 10RR.

Reply

Maria O. March 13, 2011 at 5:26 pm

Thank you so much!!! 🙂

Reply

Sean March 13, 2011 at 4:35 pm

They were $5.29 at my store. The BOGO 50% off caught me off guard. Couldn’t for the life of me understand why my math was wrong until I looked at the receipt. Anyway, the 50% comes off at the end of the transaction, and the catalina machine treats it like a coupon I guess. I purchased 4 and It worked like this:

(4) Excederin PM $21.16

used:

(4) $-2.50 Excederin PM tearpad coupons
50% off 2 -$5.29

Total: $5.87
Get back 10 RR
$4.13 profit.

It was a nice surprise.

ali March 13, 2011 at 10:52 pm

Yep, just came to say my Excedrin rang at bogo 50% off also, but only the PM and the Migraine, not the extra strength. I used my 3 free Q’s from coupons .com a while back, and they took the full amount off, then bought 1 PM to get over $20–used a $2.50 Q and paid $2.79 OOP, but then got $2.64 back at the end of the transaction for the bogo 50% off on the PM/Migraine, so total OOP was $0.15, and got a $10 RR. I don’t know if the bogo 50% off is a glitch, or if it will be on all week, but it was a great moneymaker!

Parker March 13, 2011 at 3:14 pm

My paper didn’t have the Herbal Essences coupon that I was hoping for, but it did have $1 off Irish Spring deodorant.

Reply

jen March 13, 2011 at 5:04 pm

my paper sucked no right guard or the renuzit coupons, ack! even got up extra early to get paper first and nothing even tried three different papers. but i did do pretty good actually great! Spent $7.84 got $8.50 in rr, bought 3 1l listerines, 4 gallon sizes boxes of hefty freezer bags, 2 irish spring deo, 1 purex crystals, 2 blistex, 3 packs wrigleys gum and nine candybars, some as fillers. just kept rolling my rr and lucky to have a bunch from last week! good shopping trip!

Terese March 13, 2011 at 9:02 pm

Jen,

i too didn’t get either coupons also. Bummer. Was so looking forward to both. Im in the DFW area.

Kelly March 13, 2011 at 5:16 pm

Sorry for the long post, but I did the Irish Spring deal. I had one $1 off coupon that had printed several weeks ago from the Wags catalina machine and then I had a $1 off from coupons.com. I have NEVER had this happen at Walgreens, but the cashier scanned the other coupon and a RR I was using and then when he got to the printed coupon from coupons.com he called a manager to approve the coupon. And then the manager proceeded to say that they aren’t actually allowed to accept internet coupons like that and that they need to have the little “bubbles” behind the expiration date. Being that I’m knowledgeable about coupons, I know exactly what he’s talking about — it’s the manufacturer coupons that you get straight from the manufacturer that almost look as ifthey have foil on them at certain parts…They let me actually use the coupon, but I’m guessing they won’t in the future. I tried to tell him about coupons.com and he said that he had never heard of it and that it might be my savings of $1 but Walgreens hasn’t been getting reimbursed for some of the coupons. He said some people are putting together their own websites and putting fraudulent coupons on there…I am still so frustrated by this, because I don’t think he was educated on the fact that Walgreens and Irish Spring (whoever the manufacturer is) got together to put that coupon on coupons.com! Has anyone run into this?

Reply

Christie March 13, 2011 at 7:12 pm

Kelly – It’s so sad that you have to teach this person his or her job… but… show him or her his OWN ad or the monthly coupon book that says “for more coupons visit walgreens.com” and tell him or her you printed it there and he can check it out for himself. (The “coupons” that walgreens is advertising is just a redirect to coupons.com.) Geez.

Reply

Guest March 13, 2011 at 10:23 pm

He wasn’t talking about those straight from the manufacturer foil coupons. he was talking about the watermark that is supposed to print behind the expiration date – your printer may have been running low on ink.

Reply

Kelly March 13, 2011 at 11:25 pm

Hmm, I’m not sure I’ve ever noticed that. I have a black and white printer and it’s a pretty nice 3in1. Also I have a brand new cartridge in there. Do you happen to print your coupons in color, maybe that’s the problem?

Reply

Kelly March 13, 2011 at 5:26 pm

Just had to post this regarding my post above about the mgr at Walgreens not wanting to accept the $1 off Irish Spring printed from coupons.com…I was just on their website and in the FAQ it has a question that says “does walgreens accept MFR coupons printed from internet”…it says “Sure as long as they are legit” (I’m paraphrasing) and then says to browse the coupons to use on your next shopping trip to Walgreens…guess where it takes you when you click on the link? To coupons.com 🙂 I’m tempted to go back down there and have him go back to his computer and give that a whirl 🙂

Deb March 13, 2011 at 6:25 pm

Last week I stocked up on the swifter deal and got a few 3 RRs from those.. So today I just stocked up on diapers for my daughter using the RRs to pay for them… I’m pretty happy!

Jen March 13, 2011 at 7:40 pm

I was wondering if the $2 RR on Purex Complete Softener prints for the Purex Complete Detergent too . Did anyone try this ?

Reply

Pam March 13, 2011 at 8:27 pm

if anyone is needing Purex coupons mycouponhunter.com has some left but they are going fast!!

I believe she also has the Irish Spring coupons as well!

Bobbi Jean March 13, 2011 at 8:44 pm

I had a dreadful cashier who insisted I had to buy 3 right guards to use my 1 coupon. I pushed the issue and she let it fly with some serious groaning and sighing. I then had the $3 salonpas patch coupons and she REFUSED to allow the overage on the other patches, nor would she only adjust the ONE coupon so I could get the ones I had in my basket. So she adjust all 4 of my coupons down. Ugh! Shame on me for not having the coupon policy with me. Had that same problem last evening at walmart with their new policy. Oh well! Still got 4 deodorants, 4 patches and 3 excedrines for $.67 OOP. Cant complain just TOO much. LOL

Bobbi Jean March 13, 2011 at 8:50 pm

Forgot to mention, I walked away with a $10RR for the excedrine too.

April M. March 13, 2011 at 9:32 pm

I am not sure if this is in the ad -I bought 2 Secret Clinicals and they rang up at buy one, get one 50% off. I used the $3 P&G mailer q’s.

I went to my local Walgreens today, to do the Reach Toothbrush deal, and found Reach Toothbrushes on clearance for $1.09 each! If you use the $1/1 coupon, this is a HUGE money maker! I paid $0.36 for four Reach toothbrushes, and received a $4.00 RR back, making this a $3.64 Money Maker!

Terese March 14, 2011 at 8:38 am

lucky for you. the few walgreens around my house are always $1.79. Still a money maker.

I have a question about coupon policy…I have a printout and I dont see this in there-

I tried to get a few of the BOGO Right Guard this morning and was told that for every 4 items rung up, I had to buy one…I’ve never done this before and wondered if I was missing something?

On the renuzit deal i just got back and they wouldn’t let me have more than the $4.17 that’s listed on the coupon (i assumed this was per item not for all 3 free ones) but it wasn’t worth the 33 cent arguement to me (expecially with my 25 month and 9 month with me) I already had to go back to them and have them give me cash back for 4 of the free ones (i purchased 12 and they only gave me 2 free) and had to have them give me cash back for one of the B1G1 right gaurds, they only rang up one of my coupons. But at least everyone seems to be fairly coupon knowledgable at mine and didn’t give me a hard time.

Katie March 14, 2011 at 10:35 pm

YAY! Just went to Walgreens, I got 9 things of herbel Essence shampoo, 9-Conditioner 6- Clearsal face wash 18 renuzit 9-little homemade carmels (Fillers) 9 Dial lotions 14-FREE right gaurd deoderant, 8-Irish Spring body wash and 4-Irish spring deoderants, a gallon of milk, toleit paper, and a thing of syrup all for a grand total of 22.60 🙂 PS love your blog!

Ugghhh! I am so mad! I went to Walgreens and bought a ton of stuff yesterday! Totally forgot to have the cashier scan the Renzuit cones coupon! Does anyone know if I can go back and get an adjustment, or do I have to return them all and redo the transaction?

theresa v March 17, 2011 at 12:30 am

Ughhhh….is right! I did the same thing last week with Fruity Pebbles. My stores return and rering. It makes me crazy. I feel your pain. I will be doing that tomorrow. There have been times I didn’t go back and said to heck with it. I am trying to keep up with it now. I have lost money because I didnt (always wags coupons for me).
