Here’s a scenario that requires no Register Rewards to start.
In this scenario you’d spend $2.03 out of pocket (OOP), get $28.37 in merchandise, and you’ll end with $1 RR. So really you are paying $1.03 for everything!
A Couple of Things to Note
*The Qs in blue are MQ, the ones in red are store coupons and don’t count in your total.
*If your Gain or Trident ring up differently it should still work out after the in ad q.
Happy Shopping! 🙂

Hi Christie, How did you arrive at only .76 OOP on Transaction 1? The Walgreen coupon in the circular I got this week for the central Ohio area gave a limit of 3 packs of Trident at .79 each. But when I did the math I can see where you got the starting total of $13.31, but I only added up coupons/discounts of $9.05, making the final OOP $4.76. (Gain $3.58 minus $3.80 in coupons + Trident $7.74 minus $4.50 in coupons + Crest $1.99 minus $.75 equals $4.76 OOP. Please set me straight because I want to get the hang of this rolling scenarios thing. Thanks!
Hi Mary – The register won’t limit it to 3. Only if you have a cashier or manager that’s really, really is super picky will you have an issue. Most stores don’t care. If you get a super picky cashier just use one MQ and still use the other 2 store coupons. The transaction has $4.75 in MQ (in blue) and $7.80 in Walgreens coupons (in red) for a total of $12.55 in coupons.
The Trident is $8.00 in coupons. ($2 MQ and $3 from one Wags coupon in the book and $3 from the Wags one in the ad)
Had a HUGE problem today with Gain!? A store I do not usually go to (that was my first mistake) the manager was not wanting to give me Gain for free and to top it off was totally rude. Good thing I had the coupon policy with me :), stating they should bring the Q down to match the price. I kindly said “You are making me mad, give me my coupons and I will head off to another store”. She did give it to me for free but I really wanted to just leave with my Q’s and go to another store. This was my first really bad experience with Walgreens, no reason to be so mean! Needless to say I will not visit that store again!
Good for you Nicole for standing firm!
