Walgreens Shopping Scenario 3/2!

by Christie- on March 1, 2014

lightbulb2Here’s my Walgreens Shopping Scenario for the week of 3/2. In this scenario you’ll get $28.78 in merchandise, after sales and coupons you’ll pay $10.53 out of pocket and end up with $4 in Register Rewards & $1 (1,000 Balance Reward Points), so it’s like you’re paying $5.53 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!

Transaction #1
Buy (1) InSync Probiotic, 30 ct, $10 Sale Price
Total = $10, Get Back $10 RR

Transaction #2
Buy (3) Pantene Hair Care Shampoo or Conditioner, 12.6 or 22.8 oz, 3/$10 Sale Price
Buy (1) Fixodent Adhesive Cream, 2 to 2.4 oz, $4.29 Sale Price
Buy (1) Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste, 6 oz, $3 Sale Price
Buy (1) Kellogg’s Breakfast To Go or Special K Coffee House Shakes, 10 oz, $1.49 Sale Price
Total = $18.78
(1) $5/3 Pantene Product, exp. 3/16/14 (P&G 03/02/14)
(1) $2.50/1 Fixodent Adhesive, exp. 3/31/14 (P&G 03/02/14)
(1) $0.75/1 Crest Toothpaste or Liquid Gel, exp. 3/31/14 (P&G 03/02/14)
$10 RR from Transaction #1
Total = 53¢, Get Back $1 (1,000 Balance Reward Points), $1 RR Fixodent, $1.50 RR Crest, $1.50 RR Kellogg’s

You’ll end up with $4 in Register Rewards and $1 (1,000 Balance Reward Points), so it’s like you’re paying $5.53 for 1 Insync, 3 Pantene, 1 Fixodent, 1 Crest, and 1 Kellogg’s Shake or 79¢ per item.

Why would you be buying Fixodent if you probably don’t need it. I’m all for getting free things, but that’s excessive.

It’s all about the points and rewards. You need them to roll the deals. If you get something that you or a relative do not need or use, you can always donate to a church, shelter, or food bank. You may be helping someone you don’t even know that is at a difficult point in their lives.

Everyone I take care of as a nurse uses Fixodent, and I am sure there are people at shelters or salvation army whom would love for there teeth not to flop around lol 🙂

I’m new to couponing and just trying to get the rules straight. Can someone explain to me why 3 coupons are not applied to the 3 Pantene products, and just the $5 off of 3 coupon is applied? I thought you could have just as many coupons as items.

Think of it this way – if a coupon is $5 towards (3) it takes up (3) slots. So if it were $1 off (1) – then you could use (3) one for each slot. Or if you were buying (3) you could use a coupon that was $5 off (2) and another that was $1 off (1).

Hi. I’m also a newbie. I thought I read somewhere else that a cashier told a customer that if they used RR to pay for a transaction which is supposed to earn you balance rewards points (like your transaction #2), that you will not get the balance rewards points. This isn’t true? Also, is there somewhere on Wags’ site that clearly defines the rules and combination restrictions (that I could print to carry with me)? I’ve searched their site and can’t find anything that addresses this specific question. Thanks!

If you use a RR to pay you will get your points. You just don’t want to pay with points because THEN you won’t get your points. You can find the Walgreens coupon policy below… 🙂

I was told if you used RRs to pay for a transaction that gives you RRs you won’t get them?
