The most cost effective way to shop at Walgreens is to roll your Register Rewards from week to week.It's the beginning of a new month, so I'm starting my scenario with no Register Rewards.

Hi Jeri, Just came back from Walgreens....kotex deal printed free always pad catalina also(upto 3.50) in addition to rr of $2.50, did it twice......though didn't get toothbrushes I was looking for but overall good,actually great day....
ReplyDeletethanks
I also got the free Always pad Catalina and a $4.50 off any 1 Cover Girl Blast product Catalina. All I bought in that transaction was Kotex and Combos so I *think* it was the Kotex that made it print. The $4.50 C.G. coupon works really well with the cover girl sale this week.
ReplyDeleteI had to argue with a Cashier over the Reach coupon (it beeped) at one store. My hubby told me I was scary! :) I always seem to get the uninformed cashier at that store. Everytime something beeps she tells me it doesn't work. She almost always pushes it through after I explain, but it's annoying nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteI will say I got my first "coupon applause" from a guy behind me who told me "that was impressive" after a low OOP total for a large number of items.
Hi, I don't see a ecotrin coupon in the 5/16RP?? Help! thanks, Connie
ReplyDeleteHi Connie - The Ecotrin coupon was in the insert in the St Louis Post-Dispatch 5/16 RP. Middle of the insert. It was on a 2-page ad for Advatage Brand products.
