The most cost effective way to shop at Walgreens is to roll Register Rewards - spend Register Rewards on products that trigger more. If you're following my $5 Scenarios, you have a $3 Newell Rubbermaid Register Reward to start this week's shopping.

4/27/11 SS coupon? Im confused....
ReplyDeleteHi Donna J.,
ReplyDeleteI think Jeri meant 4/17/11 SS. Hope that helps =)
Hi Donna - Sorry for the confusion. My fingers don't always do what I want them to when typing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Janet for answering Donna.
Just a friendly reminder to NOT use the Walgreens in Shiloh, IL. Went there Sunday to use my splenda q's and was told that I can't use 2 qs and still get a RR, he said it was against store policy for them to reduce the q's...then when I called Corporate they informed me that their policy now states that if a mfg q is used, no rr will be issued. I asked corportate to see that in writing..still waiting. UGH!!
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl - Thanks for the head up on the Shiloh store.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard for me to comprehend how Walgreens employees continue to be so misinformed. Next week's Walgreeens ad show the price of several items after coupon and RR. It looks as if the department that puts the ads together have been reading the coupon/deal blogs.
Here is the link to the ad scan if you wan't to go show it to that manager - page 12.

Is it printing and they are not giving it to you? or is it just not printing?
ReplyDeleteCan you get more than one RR per transaction if you are buying different products? For instance they have a Hawaiian Tropic suntan oil RR and the Splenda RR can I buy then at the same time? Or do I have to do 2 transactions?
ReplyDeleteHi Amonymous - If you purchase different offers in the same transaction you will get multiple RR with one transaction.
ReplyDeleteSo, yes you can purchase Hawaiian Tropic and Splenda in one transaction and get both RR.
