Here’s my regular Walgreens Shopping Scenario for 7/10. In this scenario you’d get $50.81 in merchandise, spend $8.92 out of pocket and end up with $3 in Register Rewards. So, it’s like you are paying $5.92 for everything, or about 88% off. 🙂

Hi I do like Transaction # 3 and # 4 but I do not need #1 or 2 or 6 bec I do not have coupons or need those.
I do want to get Garnier Fructis Shampoo etc and Kotex products
I tried to figure those out for transaction 1 and 2 but it came out high price so if you could type up a scenario to suggest for me to use with transaction 1 and 2 for maybe garnier fructis and another one for kotex ?
Thank you for your time!
Oh I do have coupons for garnier fructis and kotex
For someone like me who’s happy with an 80% savings every so often .. you’re site makes me feel like I’m not saving enough! ; ) I love it! You’re as amazing as the deals you post!
I can’t thank you enough for the time and effort you put into sharing your knowledge with us.

Does anyone know if the Fiber One RR will print if I bought 4 of the 10 ct size that’s on sale this week? I thought I remembered that the RR deal from last week ended today. We go through a lot of those at my house, so I’d love to take advantage of a deal one more time.
Here’s a link to print two $1 off Dove Men+Care coupons to go with the BOGO coupons. I did this today and paid $5.50 for four bottles of bodywash and received $5 RR… http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=ygjhcmm9426330&bt=vi&o=83397&c=UL&p=uezaPi2G
No Noxzema razor coupons in our Red Plum here in Iowa. We did get a $4 coupon for Bic razors though.
oops I guess it was a $3 coupon for Bic Soleil, and it was in the Smart Source
Just an FYI, on the dove deal. (4/$15), they are not ringing up $3.75 each, for me three rang up $4.49 and one rang up $1.53. I bought (2) deodorants, (1) shower tool, and (1) body wash. Used a bogo, (2) $2/1 deodorant. The cashier took off $4.49 on the bogo coupon. Also the eos shaving cream at my store had a free bic razor and a $2/1 for bic soleil coupon attached.
The Gum products are ringing up cheaper than $2.00. The fine type of dental floss is ringing up $1.09 and so are the double pack of toothbrushes. The Butterweave floss is ringing up $2.00. I would get the fine floss and toothrushes since they are so cheap. I used my $1.00 RR from last week’s Crest deal and paid $.09 for each dental floss and toothbrush I bought and got a $2 RR each time.
My toothbrushes rang up $2, I got the micro tip kind. Didn’t try the dental floss.
can anyone confirm that the sally hansen deal is printing out RR for items other than the 3 items pictured in the ad?
I got 1 file and 2 eyebrow shapers and received the RR
Yes, it is. I got clippers and sapphire files.
I worked this deal today and did NOT recieve an RR for it.Beware!Now I have no RR’s to finish the rest of the transactions.:(
i never get the colgate coupons in my paper….
I’m still new with RR etc.. so please look over them at how I’ll do this week.. and if you see any errors or suggest to add something or whatever, PLEASE let me know!
THANK YOU!

Amy,
you will need 2 fillers for #2 and 1 filler for #3 Items need to equal # of coupons being used
Chrissy,
Thanks for replied! 🙂
You could use one more coupon on transaction one because you have four items. Four coupons on four items will save you more.
Holly – I only have one more coupon of $1/ ANY one Dove Men+Care Body Wash (13.5oz or larger). Body and Face Bar (6-bar pack or larger) or Active Clean Shower tool from coupons printable
Could I use on that too?
DENISE – Our Wags here did too (Also the eos shaving cream at my store had a free bic razor and a $2/1 for bic soleil coupon attached.) But the coupon expired 30 JUN 2011. :*(
the cashier at wags( i think she was the asst mgr)would not mark down my coupon for me. I had a nivea mens face lotion priced at 1.74 and the coupon for $2. She said the only way she reduce coup if it said (up to $2.00 off) I have never seen a coup that says up to $ off. I called corp. and they said it was perfectly find to price adjust coups. I guess i will go back with the coup policy in hand. Anyone else having problems with wags adjusting coups down.
A manager at my store knew about adjusting coupons down but the clerk didn’t. Hopefully you will have a better experience next time.
My walgreens in NC invents stupid rules as they go. Today I was trying to do 3 transactions(teething gel, evenflo pads, and the eos) so I could roll my RR and the cashier and the store manager said I could not have seperate transactions because they were RR items and it wouldnt be fair to use a RR to pay for the next, etc. I could understand that if i were trying to buy all 3 products 3 times…..but their reasoning is stupid.
wow, that is insane
That is stupid,because you could take your rewards and visit 3 different stores and do each different transaction if you wanted and it would be perfectly fine.I think they just wanted to hassel you.The RR’s are given to be spent in thier stores or so I thought but there is this nasty attitude at some stores that pits them aganst the customers who use the RR program and coupons…. the very people who keep them in business! Believe me I’ve had this attitude directed at me a few times but I write corporate and complain each time and they always call and apologize.I’ve also had the same situation where they make up rules as they go,sometimes you have to pull the policy out to educate them.
I went to Walgreens this morning for the Gilette deal – $10 RR when you purchased $30 of product. Bought 2 Venus refills @ 15.99 each, and used 2 – $2 off coupons. The RR did not print. The asst. store manager said that it would not since the coupons took my pre-tax value down to below $30. I’ve never had this happen before but he was adamant this was their policy. Has anyone else had this happen? I finally just asked him to refund my money & return my coupons and I would be back later. I was nice to him (of course), but the cashier had already told me they had a lot of things that were not printing correctly.
I had the same thing happen with the Gillette deal also. The cashier had told me as I asked ahead of time if I needed to spend $30 before or after coupons. She said it didn’t matter as far as she knew. The manager resolved the problem but I am still left wondering what is right and I found nothing on the Wags website.
I guess I could have called corporate first then posted my reply to this comment. Per the person I spoke with at corporate on deals like the Gillette where you are required to spend X dollars to receive X dollars in RR, you are requied to spend the stated amount after any coupons or other things that lower the overall price are used. So, if you are like me and your coupons lowered the purchase price on those items to below $30 you don’t get the RR. Hope this helps.
I love your site! and your deal scenerios! I modified one and got the teething gel and the razors then used the razor reward to get some cheap toilet paper and a toy for my son!! Love it!!
Thank you so much!

after all that work. out of 10 papers 4 had Red Plumb (i get papers from different regions)
of those 4 RP, none had the noxema!!!
I’m new to this and trying to ready understand the senarios above. Why do you need the filers in some transactions and not others? Are the RR considered MQ?
I’m going to try my first senario today, so I’d like to understand them better.
Thanks
You can’t exceed the number of manufacture’s Coupons and Register Rewards to the total number of items.
The Infusium didnt print for me and I didnt notice until I got home and was missing 2 RRs. Sad.
