Walgreens Walgreens Walgreens
After viewing both Hip2Save and CouponingtoDisney I made my game plan and even had some "filler" items JUST IN CASE. I am now understanding why people LOVE Walgreens and CVS. WOOHOO I am getting it.
It is a little embarrassing to tell you all what I purchased today but because it is such a fantastic deal and too many of you are bugging me about it...... HERE GOES! :)
I made a plan and figured out my coupons and just took it transaction by transaction. LOL (My goal was to spend as little as possible)
Now remember ...
*when you get a Register Rewards you can't turn around and use that RR for the same item.
*they have limits to the RR you get but they do not have a store CARD so you can just make another transaction and get those items again and get the RR again.
With that in mind this is what I got......

I used my $4RR from above and needed a filler item to be able to use the extra coupon. I picked up another package of gloves ($.39)
For all of these items with tax my total OOP was $7.12
but wait...... I already filled out the paperwork for the Johnson and Johnson Rebate so after my $10 comes in my total will be a money maker of $2.88.
Todays GRAND TOTALS were $37.36 OOP
After the rebate comes in, my total will be $27.36.
I know I got some great deals. I may not NEED everything I purchased today (who needs 8 cans of oust) but the reason I purchased them was so I would get more RR for what I really wanted. :)
49 items for $27.36 :)
If you have any questions please feel free to just ask.
Thanks again Hip2Save and CouponingtoDisney I would have never figured this out without your blogs.

Smiths Tip of the day
One thing that is a GREAT deal is the 4pk Cottonelle toilet paper for $1.75. If you look in your SmartSource that was in the newspaper on 12/13/09, you will find a $.50 coupon for a 4pk. That makes it $1.25. If you don't have the SS (SmartSource) go HERE and look for Cottonelle and print them up. Each one will be able to print 2. Be careful not print out the ones for 12pks because they will not work for 4pks. LOL
Smiths Case LOT Info
I just wanted to let you know the information that I found out.
My Walgreen trip
I have quite a few transactions but hopefully you see that they were worth it.
Also, you should know that I purchase 3 newspapers a week. (from the 99cent store so I pay $3 for 3 newspapers WITH COUPONS) My mom happened to come by my house today and give me another SmartSource so I have 4.
I did have some problems but I am learning how these Register Rewards work. :) Here was my trip
Transaction #1
Electrasol Finish Quantum Dishwasher Detergent — $3.49
RR: $1 wyb 1
Coupon: $2.50 from 1/3 SS
Deal: Buy 1 and use $2.50 Q.
Pay 99c and
get $1 RR
I paid $1.27 after tax OOP
Transaction 1B
I tried to use my RR from transaction 1 to buy another Electrasol for free, but I learned that you can't use the RR on the SAME item. It did take my RR but it did not give me another RR for the next transaction. I spoke with a manager to ask questions because I was totally confused. She was great and explained it great. She also gave me $1 RR because I didn't know about the RR rules.
I picked up one Elecrasol for .99
needed to purchase something else so it is above $1.
I got a stupid carmel candy thing for .39
after using my RR (that I was not suppose to) my OOP was .66
Now I do have 1 RR left (that the manager nicely gave to me)
Transaction #2
Electrasol Finish Quantum Dishwasher Detergent — $3.49RR: $1 wyb 1
Coupon: $2.50 from 1/3 SS
Deal: Buy 1 and use $2.50 Q.
Pay 99c and
get $1 RR
I paid $1.27 after tax OOP
Transaction #3 I have 2 RR from first transactions
Neosporin Lip Health products — 2/$8
RR: $3 wyb 2
Coupon: $3 printable (ff link) Print 2
Total: $2
2 folders .19 each with ad coupon (needed a filler)
Used the $2 RR from transactions 1 & 2 and I paid $1.06 OOP
Transaction #4 I have $3 in RR from last transaction
Electrasol Finish Quantum Dishwasher Detergent — $3.49RR: $1 wyb 1
Coupon: $2.50 from 1/3 SS
Deal: Buy 1 and use $2.50 Q.
Pay 99c and
get $1 RR
1 Bleach 96oz .99 (with in ad coupon)
1 Walgreen wax paper 75sqft .89 (with in ad coupon)
3 Hunt’s Tomato Sauce, 8 oz — 39c (with in ad coupon)
Coupon: $1/3 printable
Total: 6c ea
Total: after using $3 RR from transaction 3
$.47
Transaction #5
1 Morton Salt 28oz .50 (with in ad coupon)
1 Baking Soda .50 (with in ad coupon)
used 1 Register Reward from transaction #4
Total FREE no tax on food. :)
On my trip I got 4 Electrasol Finish Quantum Dishwasher Detergent, 2 Neosporin Lip Health products, 2 folders, 1 bleach, 1 salt, 1 baking soda, 3 Hunts tomato sauce, Wax paper.
That is 15 items for $4.73
I understand that I messed up on transaction 1B. If you did the exact same thing the right way your total would be $5.34 and you would have another Register Reward to use for your next trip.
I have never used the Electrasol but I figure that dishwashing soap cannot go bad and it is a FANTASTIC deal. The rest of the things I purchased are because I know that I will need them at some point. I could have saved my RR for next week but I could use the other things that I purchased. Hope this helps someone.
Thank you CouponingtoDisney
