Here’s my Walgreens Shopping Scenario for 5/27. In this scenario you’ll get $39.14 in merchandise for $5.59.
You’ll pay $9.59 out of pocket (unless you have a RR from last week to pay for your first transaction) and end up with $4 in Register Rewards. So it’s like you are getting everything for $5.59! That’s about 86% OFF.
You can get an even better deal if your store carries Kellogg’s Crunch Nut Cereal with (2) of the $0.70 off ONE Kellogg’s Crunchy Nut™ Cereal coupons. My store doesn’t carry these (at least not yet) so I didn’t include it in the scenario.
I really like this scenario because you get so many useful things – First Aid Gel, Aspirin, Shaving Cream, Tape, Cereal, Toothpaste, Napkins and more!
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!

Here in the Richmond, VA, area Walgreens is no longer doing RR.
Sandie – I was just in Richmond three weeks ago and got RR. They aren’t in the test market anymore.
other sites say that the Ecotrin deal theres a q in the spring coupon book 5/2 ??? making it a money maker ???
In my scenario you are using two $1.50/1 coupons, so you are paying $0 and getting $2 back so yes, it’s a money maker. 🙂
If someone has a $5/2 Ecotrin coupon, it doesn’t do them any good anyway because the coupon will get adjusted down to $3 (the price of the item) so it’s the same as using (2) $1.50/1 coupons.
Im not seeing the Summers eve on my ad preview
found it lol im blind
RR is NOT printing out on shaving cream in N. Texas. Tried all scents just to make sure it wasn’t just on the new packaging. Just FYI
Same in West Texas. Tried 3 different scents no RR.
RR’s didn’t print for Skintimate OR Colgate Sensitive this morning. The store manager voided them and re-ran them and then the RR’s printed.
The Skintimate is not printing at the St. Paul area stores today. The managers at those stores are adjusting the price down to 99 cents in lieu of the RR not printing.
Hi Christie,
If I buy one ecotrin and 1 goody’s powder, will $2 RR roll out?
Since I don’t have another $1.50 Q 🙁
yes it will print out
just wanted to let everyone know l went well for me this morning skinmate printed out for me everything printed like it was suppose too also the ecotrin goody and bc is rolling
on the skinmate it only works on the cream if u r getting the gel it wont work my waqlgreens had a sign up saying it was advertised wrong the bottle says that wored for me moisturizing cream shave dry skin 6 ounce bootles if that helps im in minnesota by the way worked here
Hi just left 4 Walgreens and the Skinmates are not printing RR, in St. Louis. 3 of the Walgreens gave me $2 cash , 1 did a gift card. I did really good between rolling the two $7 RR. You pay nothing oop, not even tax. Hooray.
Hi I’m new at couponing, could someone tell me what “the RR is rolling” means? Thanks!
it means u can use the same RR on the same product over and over again and it will keep printing the same one
skintimate RR not printing here in Chicago, Illinois…tried three different scents. Manager price modified it to .99
Colgate is rolling did it at 3 am and some boxes have coupons on them for a 1 off so money maker!
walgreens in tx had a sign that the shave gel is not included sorry for the inconvience only the cream
I could not get the $2 RR for the Skintimate either in Birmingham, AL. The manager said it was not in their system and nothing he could do. I went to another store and they had put up signs stating that it was only for the cream not the gel. The finishing touch on this story is that they don’t carry the shaving cream….go figure. Very aggravating!!!! 🙁
The Skintimate didn’t print RR’s at West Plains, MO either but did get the $7 RR for theTecnu First Aid Gel.
Took the $7 RR an use it toward the $10 bird bath, what a deal.
Happy Memorial Day weekend to everyone.
I have an Aunt Kathie that lives in West Plains, Mo. Is that you?
Both 7RR. Are rolling as of noon today. Probably will fix soon, I was able to buy 10 of the first aid cream.
