Hope all of you are staying dry and safe!
Here is my Walgreens Shopping Scenario for 8/28. In this scenario you’d get $36.57 in merchandise, spend $7.07 out of pocket and end up with $6 in Register Rewards. So, it’s like you are paying $1.07 for everything.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THESE TRANSACTIONS
-) You can’t have more MQ than items! Blue = MQ
-) You don’t have to do these in one day, just pick up where you left off.
-) I always bring some extra fillers with me to the register, in case of an emergency!
-) If you have a different Crest coupon, M&M coupon or Playtex coupon your total will be slightly higher. If you don’t have the Carmex or Estroven coupons your total will be higher.

Huggies wipes 1.99 tonight only! My store had the
Already marked 5.99 for the sale that starts tomorrow, use the August coupon book 2 off that expires tonight plus the 2 off from infant care booklet! Even cheaper if you have Manu coupons!!
Glad I wasn’t the only one doing this tonight! Yeah for $1.99/216 wipes!!!
Thanks fornthe heads up I just purchased so,e I had manufacture coupons but I had a difficult cashiernso I will save those for a later time! Can’t beat the price 1.99!
How did you get the infant care book? In the STL area, we can’t find them. We go south once a year at Christmas, so if I know a way to find them there, I will do so.
Not sure where to find the booklet; never have spotted them myself. I actually was lucky enough to win mine from a giveaway here! I guess they are pretty elusive!
Have you specifically asked for them? Sometimes they keep them at the register or at the pharmacy. I would think they have them in the STL area. Getting them at Christmas time won’t help you too much….I think they expire the end of December. 🙁
the stores in my area (TN) had them at the beginning of the year
My store has them at the cosmetic counter. The cashier at my favorite store gave me one of the store copies! So I now keep it in my purse at all times!
The St. Louis area didn’t get the Infant Care book – it was only sent to certain markets. Your best bet is to buy it from Ebay.
Hello Amanda,
I live in Fairview Heights, IL and get my Infant Care Booklet from the Fairview Heights Walgreens. I’ve tried calling around to various STL Walgreens, however none of them ever have them.
I sent my husband out at 10:00 last night to get me some. I got them for $1.49 each!! He was so proud of himself 🙂
do you happen to know the limit on the campbell’s soup? I believe there is a coupon on their site for $1/5cans.
Limit is 3 on the soup
If you purchase as many required for manufacture coupon (5) , and and submit along with one Walgreens coupon, register will automatically take off for all items (5) in transaction.
Yes, especially if it is an in ad coupon
Where do I get da infant care booklet?
I haven’t looked in my store but I don’t think it is avaliable an longer but can buy on ebay, just let them scan the booklet not take the coupon
Christie, I totally <3 you and EVERYTHING you do!!!! Keep up the AWESOME great work!!!!
PS, I recently lost my kitty and it is just so devastating. He played with my 2 yr old every day and the second she came out of her room with him I knew she needed her diaper changed. He was just so wonderful and part of our family and we all miss him dearly.
In Trans #2 you have the colgate sensitive pro-relief toothpaste, wasnt that deal last week?? I didnt see it in this weeks flyer….
It’s a monthly deal thru 10/14 but it’s $4.99 with a $3 RR not a $4 RR like last week, but with the new coupon, still an awesome deal.
I print all my coupons in the back of old papers that I dont need and I have never had a problem. You will be ok.
Christie,
So sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family.
if anyone has the estroven_coupon.pdf I would love a copy.
laxcoupon at live dot com.
Thanks much!
NEVER MIND I HAD it.
If you have a Bi Lo in your area, the 1/1 Pretzel M&Ms manufacturer’s coupon from the Bi Lo booklet is still good. It expires 10/31
in my add on the carmex deal is a b1g1 free, so my question is if I only get one RR will print for the second one?
oh sorry! I see is a differnt carmex i was looking at!
Went to 2 different wags this morning and neither had the colgate optic or the carmex lip balm. 🙁
At my store they were not with any of the other Carmex products. They were in a separate bin. Had to really hunt for them.
Yeah I looked all over the store even asked the managers and nothing?
Mine had 2 hangers full each of the Vanilla & Lime Carmex, right with all the other lip care products (cough/cold aisle) Now, this is a brand new store that just opened up 2 weeks ago, so they were fully stocked on everything (I also got 4 Welch’s and 2 Planters PB!) Sorry you couldn’t find them. Have you tried another store?
They were in front of the skin care isle, infront of the beauty counter in my store hanging on hangers they had a whole lot left, for some odd reason there wasn’t any coupners out this morning weird, I got all I wanted spent like $20 oop and got five newspapers (for inserts of course) two estroven (don’t need) one carmax lip balm, four Bounty dryer Bars, two Cascade dishwashing pacs, and one Tide laundry detergent
If you have the back to school wrap around ad with the bogo free coupon for Carmex and use that on the Carmex moisturizing lip balm you should be able to get two for up to a $1 MM.
my local walgreens has the AXE DEODORANT bodyspray and STICK packaged as a buy one get one combo for 5.49
i then used a coupon for BOGO on axe deodorants (not sure if it was p&g sometime in july) which was expiring today and got another pack of SPRAY and STICK for free, —
so basically u pay 5.49 and get 2 sprays and 2 sticks
P.S it is my first post, so pardon me if i have not been able to explain it properly
I ran out of paper, will Wags accept my estroven coupon on paper with stuff printed on the back?
I constantly print stuff on the back side of my kids old exams and stuff. Nobody has ever refused my coupon because of something printed on the back.
I do it all the time.
Question, will the 2/$5 crest work with the $10 register reward when you buy $30 worth of P&G products.
On the p&g deal spend $35.00 or more and get $9.50 rr can you get (8) deo at $4.49 ea making it $35.92 then use (4) $3.00 mfc maling it $23.92 then also use the b1g1 free gillette body wash, getting (8) bodywashes free. Paying $23.92 + get the $9.50 rr. Would that work?
I’ve been trying to figure it out all day. I know the coupons limit you to using 4 like coupons in a transaction.
i got 4 gillette deodorant and 4 gillette body wash and also bought 4 old spice deodorant and 4 old spice body wash. It worked for me to get the 9.50RR.
What Qs did you use? What was your total before and after them?
My Walgreens won’t allow rolling transactions anymore 🙁 Guess I have to visit more than one now and plan my transactions better!
WAs wondering was the estroven a PDF, if so could someone please send it to me??,the only PDF I have is the Nexcare 1/1.. [email protected] Thanks so much!!
Did the link here not work for you? I switched it out because they moved the link for the coupon.
The link says not found!
Went back to wags last night and had an encounter with coupon fraud. The lady in front of me was using high value coupons on items they were not intended for. I got so mad. What do you do in those situations? Do you tell the manager or just walk away?
I think you should view it the same as shoplifting, because it is a form of stealing. If I saw someone shoplifting, I would let a manager know, so if I saw someone intentionally commiting coupon fraud, I would also make a manager aware. Even if they don’t call the police or do anything like they would for a shoplifter, at least they can try to refuse her service or let other employees know to verify each coupon. That is always a tough situation to be in, but I think you are right in getting mad. 🙂
…or maybe the person did not understand. I would be careful casting blame without the full picture…as Legitimate couponers we get upset when cashiers accuse of of fraud because they don’t understand their own company coupon policies, but in truth I have made honest mistakes as I have learned the process… If you feel the need to do something maybe you should explain to the person that they are using the coupons wrong. If the are not legit they will eventually get caught up in their own web, but if they are legit they will appreciate your help.
Does anyone have a good Shopping scenario for the (P&G spend $30, get $10 RR) deal???
For the p & g cat… the pampers deal this week is included right?
Also…. forgot this… when u spend the $30 for the p & g cat.. will it still print out if ur coupons bring the total down? Always wonder that… I also can use my warp to make it a better deal! But once again.. am I qualified to use it after my coupons? Which hopefully will bring my oop total down.. someone help me please so im not looking like a fool at the counter..lol
Did anyone come up with a good P&G scenario yet? I want to go tonight but my children are making it hard to think today. 🙂 Please help!
I did the Swiffer WetJet deal. 1 Starter kit, 1 Refill, 2 Pantene Conditioner ( I used the $5 q from PG 7/31, Free Refill wyb a starter Kit q from home mailer, 2 Free Pantene products up to $4.99 q from FB) Total before q= $36.36 – coupons= $ 15.55
$1.38 ea after q’s and RR. I’ve been wanting this Swiffer Mop but didn’t want spend $22.00 for it so $1.38 is an awesome deal for me! =)
I spoke to customer service last night and asked them will my cat print if i initially rang up $30 worth of p&g merchandise, but after coupons brought my total down..he said no.. total has to be 30$ after q’s! So did you still get your cat after you only spent 15$? thanks
I spent 31.50 BEFORE MQs and the RR still printed. I did 2 magic erasers, 1 Mr. Clean liquid, 3 cascades and 2 pampers wipes. I had about $6 or $7 in MQ- bringing my total to 23-ish and I still got it. So– that’s totally opposite what they told you on the phone.
🙂 … thanks! I hate conflicting information.. I may try it.. see what happens (praying all the way to the counter)..lol
i did 5 cascade as it is the best soap for dishwashers and used 4 $1 off coupons from this weeks paper and a .75 cent off cascade as the coupon stated only 4 each coupons per transaction. then i got 3 bounce bars and walked up to the counter. so i ultimately bought like 28 in merchandise and my rr printed no problem. but my cashier is the best and asked if i was trying to get the rr before i started scanning them..good luck!
I did the P&G deal and got the RR even though my coupons brought my total well under $30.
However, I didn’t use a Register Reward to pay because the cashier thought it wouldn’t issue a RR reward if I used a RR. I’ve paid with RRs plenty of times before and still been issued a new RR but I was in a hurry and too afraid of not getting my $10 RR that I listened to her!
Can anyone answer my question? Can I use the $1.00 Walgreens Scott towels coupon, the $1.00 Scott coupon in the Sptember book and a $1.00 mfg. coupon when buying the Scott paper towels?
Unfortunately the Wags newspaper coupon and the September monthly coupon both have the same code so they are in fact the same coupon and you can’t use both 🙁
I will try today and see what happens. I hope the rr prints.
