Just got word the 6pk Dove for men bars of soap is printing 2 register rewards…..$5 and $6…..not sure how long this will last…so better go as soon as you can
Where do you get the P&G everyday savings book?
Are the carefree acti-fresh products on sale at all?
Also one could use the Free Carefree coupon to get a dollar off of the pantiliners.
It should be included, it shows a photo of the Carefree acti-fresh in the ad.
I bought 4 of the carefree acti-fresh the 54 pack two for me and to for my mom for free.
I bought 4 of the carefree acti-fresh the 54 pack two for me and to for my mom for free.
The dove men’s 6 pk bars are eligible for the 3/$18. I only got the $6 RR not an additional $5 that someone previously commented.
I went out at 9:30 this morning and got 3 Dove Men+Care 6-packs and only got a $6 RR, not an additional $5. Where did you hear that it was producing both?
I bought the sippy cups for cars but the wags coupon won’t work oh well had rr that were expiring so I just used them to get them for a .99 each
the coupons says “infant” products….. so the sippy cups wouldn’t work.
I got the Tylenol Pain Relief cream but no $2 RR printed
The Tylenol Pain Relief does not have a RR. The RR above (in Transaction #1) is from the Reach.
Any other field report about the Dove RR deals except for the Men soap bar? I went to my Walgreens today but they didnt have the labels for any of sales and RR’s yet. I didn’t want to take a chance, I might go back later. tHANKS!
I did 1 transaction with 2 regular Dove beauty bar 6pcks and 1 men’s and RR did print out. I used 2 .75/1 MQ’s and 1 $4/1 MQ. Hope this helps.
If i’m looking at this right, on all your scenarios except #2 you have more coupons listed than items bought. Will they let you do that?
The coupon in red is an in-ad coupon, that means a store coupon so will not count towards the total amount of coupons vs your items purchased.
My deals today:
(2) womens body wash
(1) dove mens 6 pack soap
(3) dove mens body wash
(1) dove mens deodorant
(6) dial body wash (these were ringing up BOGO)
(3) cans tuna (filler item)
(4) cans pringles

I only got back the 6RR for buying 3 men’s 6packs of dove.
Two of my Wags were out of of the men’s Dove and colgate.

The crayola coupon was in the Walgreens calender. Some people got at the begining of the year.
THANKS!!! SO MUCH!!!
Hi Christie–I bought the 3 for 18.00 Men’s Dove Soap bars and used 3 4.00 off coupons and DID get the 6.00 RR for it. After all was said and done…it was like getting it for free!!! 🙂
This morning in my first transaction I bought Pringles, Twizzlers, the Reach toothbrush, and the 3 dove 6pk soaps all with the appropriate cpns of course. I ended up with a $6 RR, $5RR, 2 $2RR’s, and $1RR. Can anyone tell me where the $5RR came from? It was a happy surprise!
I did not get the Carefree coupon (I live at Wilmington,NC) but I have $1/1 Stayfree Print.
If I buy Stayfree, Can I stack with $3/2 Carefree Pantiliners 16-60pk (5532) July Monthly Book? (do they same company?)
Christie,
I shop Wags regularly, but planning my trips this week really confused my brain. You have the Tylenol coupon from the July booklet listed as a store coupon that won’t count toward your coupon total. Yet it clearly says on the coupon “manufacturer’s coupon”. Do the manufacturer coupons from the monthly book not count towards your coupon count? Have I been doing this wrong the whole time and sticking myself with unnecessary fillers? I checked the coupon policy, and the way it reads to me is that they should, but it would be awesome if they didn’t. Thanks for any clarification you can give me.
Also, if anyone is counting on overage with the crayola posterboard, don’t! They are ringing up the sale price of 3/$1 automatically, without the in-ad coupon being scanned.
Love your site, you do an amazing job and I really appreciate it!
Greta – that is correct the coupons in the monthly book are really store coupons and don’t take up a slot. You can see some examples of Walgreens even advertising stacking with monthly book coupons HERE. I just did it today with the Carefree.
That being said I like to have an emergency filler with me just in case. Which I can always leave if not needed. 🙂
I have never had any issues with stacking *knock on wood*. I will try not counting them next time, thanks!
I have one more question (thanks for being so patient with me!). Do manufacturer’s coupons that are $x/y items count as one coupon or y # of coupons?
It is hard to test these things for myself at my one local store. The scanner at the front register has a difficlt time with coupons in general, and I don’t like to irritate my cashiers if I can help it. I have received inconsistent conflicting information and you seem to be the expert!
Thanks so much!
Hi Greta – That’s a great question. It actually depends how the coupon is coded. Some are coded to attach to 2 products in a $1/2. You’ll avoid all issues if you just plan on it attaching to however many the coupon is on. Or in those cases you can always bring a filler with you just in case. 🙂
I’m just starting out and I need help..some of the coupons I have been able to locate. If I don’t have the issue/flyer that the coupon came out in, is there somewhere for me to get it online? For example, the reach toothbrush coupon is from 5/8/11 ss x 8/8..thanks in advance for any feedback
Hey.. I’m not the expert here so someone correct me if needed but I believe it just depends on how you sort your coupons. I currently do both ways (only because I’m way behind) I like to clip them all (or most) and sort them by type (i.e. pets, cleaning, paper goods, pharmacy/otc/hba, etc..) so that while I’m in the store I can just flip to that section and see what I’ve got.. I use baseball card holders for this. I also have quite a stack of unclipped ads I also carry in my binder just in case.. Since they are unclipped and unsorted, it does take me quite a while if I really think I’ve seen a coupon for something I’ll stand there and flip through.. BUT on the spine of each week’s ad they print the date.. it’s really tiny! In your example, the 5/8 is the week of the ad and the SS is the Smart Savers and the x8/8 is the expiration of the coupon. Some people stack like pages and sort them in sheet protectors rather than cutting as they come in.. and will either cut before the trip and/or at the store. If you do this, be sure to write the ad date on each sheet so you will know where to look for the coupons. I have been couponing on a small scale for a while but only really getting into it since about April.. so I can look at the dates and pretty much know that I don’t have a coupon because the date is before I started keeping them all… AND it helps to find one quick in the ads I have yet to clip!
That was the way long drawn out version.. I hope it helps! 🙂
I just re-read your comment.. I think I misunderstood.. I do not know if there is a certain place to get it online.. you might try searching “blah blah coupon” and see what you get.. Also, look on eBay.. I have bought many item specific coupons there if there was a great deal on something I use a lot and need a lot of coupons to stock up… do the same search.. “item specific coupon”… good luck!
Thanks C.
Today I purchased the Pringles and some Duracell batteries (on sale and with a coupon) and received $2 RR. So maybe there is an unadvertised RR.

Christie,
In Trans#3 I don’t have another Reach toothbrush to use. can you think of something I could use to get a $2 RR? I’ve been trying to figure it out but I thought you could figure it much faster.
Thank you for your time!
