The most cost effective way to shop at Walgreens is to roll Register Rewards - spend Register Rewards on products that trigger more. I suggest checking out at the Cosmetic Counter. Multiple transaction always go smoother at a less busy register.
If you're following my $5 Scenarios, you have a $5 P&G Register Reward to start this week's shopping.

So, for trans #2, it says to purchase reach toothbrushes with the colgate coupons...could you explain this scenario as to how it should be?
ReplyDeleteI think the colgate and reach are two separate good deals. Can you adjust the scenario so that I get it right?
ReplyDeleteCan someone tell if I need fillers for these 3 transactions?
ReplyDelete1. 2 Nivea Bodywashes $7- 2 $2cpns=$3.00 oop get $2RR back
2. Gilette Razor- 9.89- $4cpn-$2RR=3.89 get $5 RR back
3. Snuggle and All $7- 2-$1cpns-$5RR=$0 oop
I know #1 should be fine, but I am not sure if #2 & #3 need fillers.
Thanks!
Sorry Amonymous - I put the wrong brand on the list. It is a Reach coupon
ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteYes, you need fillers in #2 and #3. You can't have more manufacturers coupons than items and RRs count as MQ. You do not need fillers for Walgreens coupons.
If I buy $30 worth of Gillette products including the ProGlide razor will I get a $10RR and a $5RR?
ReplyDeleteon transaction #2 you could add in 1 womans nivea body wash for FREE my using the buy2get1 free nivea bodywash coupon out of the newest All You magazine. BONUS!
ReplyDeleteLindy _ YES!! I just did it today, I listed it in Field notes!!!
ReplyDeletethis is great I never found a site befor that told exactly how to do this before!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous - I post Wags and CVS $5 Scenarios every Saturday, so people can plan their trips.
ReplyDeleteEven though you can read about all the little things you need to keep in mind, it is easier to see a plan to figure it all out
