Now that we know a little more about the deals for this week, here’s a scenario for you. In this scenario you’d spend $7.57 out of pocket (OOP) before tax and end up with $10 in Register Rewards, so Walgreens would be paying YOU $2.43 to take home $57.57 in merchandise! Have Fun! 🙂
A Couple of Things to Note
*MQ are in Blue. Red are store coupons and don’t count in your total.

I did the P&G deal today, and also used the buy 2 Secrets and get a free Old SPice spray. It went through just fine!!
So the sinex is definitely included in the Nyquil deal??? I have so many of those coupons!!
Sarah – Yes it is. I did it this morning. It’ll ring up $5 each.
Wait isn’t the rr on the afrin is $2 not $5?
Yes. The Afrin RR is $2.00. I have the ad right here in front of me. Still not a bad deal though! 🙂
awesome!!
Hi Christie,
A little confused about your Olay/Secret deal using the 4-$5/1 coupons with the 4-Olay wash on sale for $3.74. I thought there had to be at least an equal total value of merchandise for the MQ not to beep. Or is that calculated on regular price? Thanks! (Just want to avoid beeps if I do the deal this week!)
Kim – Yes normally that’s exactly right, but this one seems to be working on the Olay and the Secret! So it’s a one time exception to the Wags rule!
Hello Christie,
I am pretty new to this and I ran into a problem while shopping at Walgreens. I tried using my $3 off coupon for the Zarbee’s cough syrup and was told by the cashier that I could not use it as I was getting a $6 RR back. I know have done similar transactions. She called over the manager who agreed with her. I did not push the issue, the manager said she would speak with the “store manager” on Monday and would get back to me. Can you tell me if Walgreens policy is such that they would not allow this. I see in your post you wrote up a deal using the coupon. If I can do this, how can I explain the policy to him. Thanks
Wendy – That’s 100% wrong. Look at the ad for this week and look at the $10 RR WYB $30 P&G. Even there you will see an ad for the P&G coupon insert encouraging you to use the coupons. That’s just one example.
Thanks for list!
My local Walgreens refused to allow me to use 3 of the $5 off Oil of Olay coupons with Secret purchase. I had 3 of the exact same item, and the associate and manager said since it says Limit one Per Purchase, that meant I had to use one to get a body wash, one to get a bar soap…and so forth for each product listed. I kindly explained to her that ALL P&G coupons say that, even the ones for just one item! She continued to be rude and nasty about it, so I then not so kindly explained that it said Limit 4 Like Coupons per person. Still…she said, did you read the part that says one per person? I could have snapped! Instead, I went to the Walgreens down the street and they did it with no problem. Then I called the district office. Im sooooo tired of problems with this same manager and cashier everytime I use coupons.
Wendy,
Hi I work for walgreens and they cannot tell you that you cant use the $3 coupon on the Zarbee’s, even though it is free after RR. Coupon policy is one MQ and Store coupon per item, whether it’s free or not. You can comment back and leave me their number and I will call personally and speak with the store manager. On behalf of Walgreens, sorry about the confusion.
Can I roll the nyquil RR with the other p&g RR deal (buy $30 get $10)?
Another question- if the $5 secret/olay coupon is working with the 3.99 secret, will it work with the trial size secret and the 3.74 olay body wash or is it only working because the secret and the olay together are more than $5?
I have only 1 $4 Sinex coupon left, do you think I could purchase a Sinex item and a Nyquil item (using a $1.50 coupon) and still get a $5 RR?
Kim,
I just did that today – only 1 sinex in stock, so I bought the other and used a $1.50 coupon. It worked just fine, other than my total being too low to use the RR I was trying to roll. But I’m not complaining about that – I just bought something cheap and it worked.
Sigh.. I did the deal all the way until the end. My kid was “helping” and threw in an extra deodorant and body wash (so 5 instead of 4). I was in such a hurry I didn’t notice it until we were out of the store and on our way. So I ended up paying full price on one deodorant and one body wash!!!
Can I take the extras back and get full price, or will they do some weird math because of the RR and coupons?
Does the $5/1 Olay Q attach to both the Secret and the body wash? In other words, can I use the 4 deos as fillers to use my big ole’ stack of RR’s from last week? Many thanks- you rock!
My 10$ RR did not print out and the clerk said it’s 30$ after coupons. Did anyone else have this happen? Bought 3 secret 3 olay(4bar) 1 Gillette and one hair color. $33.74-$6RR -$15MQ(olay) -$2MQ(Gilette) -$3MQ (color)= 7.74 before taxes. Did not go to a manager, did not have enough time. Thanks for any insight
Janice, Mine printed out, and my total after coupons even after my goof was WELL under $30.
Janice, What company was the RR from that you used?
My Walgreens would not allow me to use 2 afrin coupons. They said it was supposed to be one per household since they were printed online. I’m going to try them at another Walgreens tomorrow. Everything else worked like a dream.
The RR was from the zarbees’s cough syrup. The only thing I can think of is that one of the secrets was not included in the deal. I may try it again and this time ask ahead of time which items are included.
