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 $6 Colgate Palmolive Register Reward to start this week's shopping.
Check out all of this week's Walgreens Deals.
NOTE: Word is, some store are now limiting the number of sale items you can purchase and the number of transactions allowed. Check with the staff at your store before you shop.

I think I'm going to try to use the Carmex RR deal as my second transaction since the Coldcalm RR value is high enough to cover it! That still leaves me with a $4 RR to get Cepacol, Nivea, and (hopefully) the Ricola drops.

ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I didn't even think about the Carmex when I was writing up the scenario.
I didnt get the $3 RR for the lozenges. Not sure why. Should I go back up there with my receipt?

ReplyDeleteWild for Wags is reporting the only varitey of Cepacol that is triggering the RR is Cherry. Hopefully, Walgreens will get this fixed early this week.
Yes, you should return to the store and speak with the manager. I'm sure by now, they must know of the problem with Cepacol.
The best strategy is to make sure you get all the RR your expecting before you leave the store. I actully make a list of what RR I should get with each transaction, so I can clear up any problems when I'm in the store.
I think all of us have gotten home without an expected RR or Catalina sometime in our couponing carrer.
