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 are following my $5 Scenario's you have a $3.99 Walgreens Register Reward to start this week's shopping.

For the razors, can you use a B1G1 and two $3 off coupon - one for the one that is free and one for the one you are paying for??
ReplyDeleteNo, you cannot use a coupon on the item you get free with a B1G1 coupon.
ReplyDeleteBut, if the items was on a B1G1 sale you could use both.
Is the $1.00 off Colgate a Walgreens only coupon that can be combined with another coupon? It says redeemable at Walgreens, but at the top it says manufacturers coupon so I wasn't sure. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous - I haven't seen this particular coupon, but here is how you can tell if it's a manufacturer or store coupon.
ReplyDeleteIf in the fine print, there is instructions on remitting the coupon to get reinbursed, then it is a manufacturer coupon.
You can use (1) manufacturer and (1) store coupon per item.
My Schick RR did not print.
ReplyDeletehow do u get 2 RR in one transaction? is there something i don know about this? i thought we could only receive 1 RR printed per transaction!!! thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Karla C - Did you get the problem fixed before you left the store? There could me many reasons why a RR didn't print including the machine being out of paper. When I have a RR that doesn't print I'll ask the cashier to call the manager and work with him to get the problem fixed.
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous - Yes, you can get multiple RR in one transaction, as long as they are different offers.
Can we use RR along with manufacturer's coupon?? In ur 1st transaction u hv used 2 dove manufacturer's coupon n RR?
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous - Yes, you can use manufacturer coupon and RR in the same transaction as long as the number of itmes don't exceed the number or manufacturer coupon + RR.
ReplyDeleteIn the first transaction, I used a 2 pocket folder as the filler item to make the items/manf.copuon + RR coupon count correct.
