Here’s my Walgreens Shopping Scenario for 3/18. In this scenario you’ll get $30.51 in merchandise, spend $10.51 out of pocket and submit for a $12.99 Mail in Rebate. So it’s like you are getting paid $2.48 to buy everything.
The coupon for the Carefree will need to be adjusted down by .01, but it’s advertised as FREE after coupon, so be sure to show them the ad if you have any issues.
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!

I am excited to do this deal. I have a $10 RR from this past weeks Coca-cola Deal. So ill only be paying a few cents out of pocket and getting the $12.99 MIR!! 🙂
I had a sharp eyed cashier this morning who noticed the Blue Diamond almond coupon states one coupon per customer. So much for cheap almonds. The carefree coupon is limit four per transaction. I did find the neosporin trial pack. Yeah!
My Walgreens had stacks of 20 ft Reynolds wrap in with the grill seasonal items marked down from $1.79 to 49 cents. I had some register rewards so I stocked up on 12 of them.
My Walgreens had a Acai berry/Fat burner package,56 count of one and only 14 of the other and it rang up at $15.99. They did not have exactly what’s advertised and the manager told me that nobody in the district had any. Just wonder why Walgreens does this all the time…..advertises a deal and don’t have the item available at all.. That’s really bad marketing…..Iam in Orlando.
There is a $1 mq off Applied Nutrition supplements in the Answers booklet.
Use that on Acai for a $1MM! I did it this morning with no problems.
Ughh… My Walgreens trip was pretty frustrating today. ZERO Neosporin in stock, ONE Acai berry cleanse left but it was not the double bonus pack, only 4 cans of the Blue Diamond Whole Natural almonds left in stock, and the cashier would not adjust the carefree coupon down. What a mess. I usually shop Walgreens, but a few times recently I’ve gone to CVS to do their deals…it has been wonderful. Stuff is in stock, and the cashiers have been so nice and helpful. If I come up with a few of the ECB items they ask “would you like to do multiple transactions?” I was at CVS the other day and I had my coupons all ready to go and I started to say “I’m sorry I have kind of a lot of coupons…” (because the cashiers at Walgreens always sigh and role their eyes and look so annoyed when I use coupons) and the cashier said “oh no don’t be sorry! It’s no problem at all! Coupons are great!” She literally said that. I wanted to hug her. I would have a heart attack if a Walgreens employee ever said to me “Coupons are great!” Hahahaha oh a girl can dream 🙂
Jen, I’m sorry that your Wag cashiers haven’t supported your fabulous frugality! I work at Wag and I get the same looks when I coupon but I would NEVER do that to anyone. If you find a good cashier at any Wag (there are many of us out there)….stick with her, and stick with us!
I have a woman at the cosmetics counter who is super. I’ve tried other stores and had the same problem, also same with low inventory or no inventory. It’s really too bad because I’m surrounded by Walgreens and Rite-Aid is waaay out of the way for me. I feel your pain! 😉
Email or call wags and complain that store is not following policy about adjusting them down.
Told by Walgreens manager that the Acai/Fat Burner two pack was a mistake. It was suppose to be the Acai only, for which I did get the RR. As a bonus, was a $2 peelie on it. 🙂
Anyone else having problems printing the neosporin coupon? I tried it twice and both times got a blank page. No, I am not out of ink, my target coupons printed just fine!?
I was able to get the $3 one and noticed on another post that I wanted the bottom link for the $5 coupon. I got a blank page both times I just tried to print the $5 one :,(
I just tried the neosporin coupon and got a blank page also.
All coupon wouldn’t print 🙁
When I purchased the neosporin a $2.00 catalina printed out. Plus if you purchased these in the past there was a few coupons inside the box.
I have a question about the Neosporin Trial pack. i was able to find it at my Wags. So I bought it and a Easter pencil. I had the $3/1 Neosporin coupon and a $8 RR from the Rembrandt deal. I used both and paid $2.42 with tax. My ? is why did my receipt the following for the coupons: $3/1 Neosporin, $8 Neosporin? Why didn’t it say $8 RR? the cashier REALLY read the RR before I was allowed to use it. And I noticed the mistake when I went outside. I’m calling it a mistake because I am afraid I will have problems with the rebate. Did this happen to anyone else? Did the cashier do anything to make that happen? I’m fairly new to the WAGS way.
I had this happen to me at a Walgreens who have the new computers. It shows the coupon on the item verses on the bottom and the RR attaches it self to what ever item it chooses, like it’s a coupon for the product. I bought mine at CVS because their system does not do that.
I think I will return it then. I don’t want to miss out on the rebate. Main reason I am buying it. When you do a return at Wags, do you get the RR back also? What about the $3/1 coupon?
