Walgreens Shopping Scenario for Beginners 7/8-7/14

Here is a relatively simple Walgreens shopping scenario for the week of 7/8/12. Note that I am not a big fan of any of these deals, with the exception of the Johnson’s/Desitin deal and it is likely that I will sit out this week at Walgreens. That said, I know that some of you will want to shop and others of you may be short on some items and need to shop. With that in mind, I have put together this shopping scenario for you.

If you did last week’s transactions, then you have a $1 Register Reward leftover. We will be using that Register Reward on Transaction #1.

BUY ONE JOHNSON’S BABY POWDER 15 OZ, on sale $2.99
BUY ONE DESITIN 2 OZ, on sale $2.99
BUY ONE WEXFORD 2-POCKET FOLDER, on sale $0.13 w/in-ad coupon
Get $2 Register Rewards when you buy two select Johnson’s/Desitin products
Use one $1/1 Johnson’s Baby Powder 15 oz or larger printable
and use one $1/1 Desitin Diaper Rash Product printable
and use the in-ad coupon to adjust the Wexford Folder Price to $0.13
and use your $1 Register Reward leftover from last week
Price at Register: $3.11, but receive $2 Register Rewards

TRANSACTION #2
BUY ONE U BY KOTEX SLEEK TAMPONS 18 CT, on sale $3.99

and use the in-ad coupon to adjust the Wexford Folder Price to $0.13
and use your $2 Register Reward from Transaction #1
Price at Register: $1.12, but receive $2 Register Rewards

TRANSACTION #3
BUY TWO EOS SHAVING CREAM 7 OZ, on sale 2/$6
Get $4 Register Rewards when you buy two EOS Shaving Cream

TRANSACTION #4
BUY TWO TROLLI GUMMIES, on sale $0.79 w/in-ad coupon

and use one $1/1 Zest Body Wash, 7/8 SS newspaper insert
and use two $1.50/2 Dove Products printable
and use one $1/1 Speed Stick, 7/8 SS newspaper insert
and use the in-ad coupon to adjust the price of the Trolli
Price at Register: $0.57

You will pay $8.80 out-of-pocket plus spend $1 of Register Rewards. That’s a little steeper than I would like to spend for most of these products, but don’t kill the messenger ;)

    Awhile back there were $1/1 eos peelies on soliel razors. They have an exp 12/31/13. Would these be good to use to lower opp?

    • Yes, if you use two $1/1 coupons then they are free after RRs. You will need to add one Wexford Folder as a filler and use the in-ad coupon for it so you can use your RR to pay for the transaction.

    Groovy thanks!

  3. Did Walgreen change their coupon policy cause I went today got 3 skinny cow candy bar used one .50 off 3 Walgreen catalina and used one bogo skinny cow coupon so the cashier couldn’t get it to scan the mf coupon and call the store manger he said i couldn’t use both because the catalina cover all three candy bar ,so I said okay just used the .50 one and give him a one dollar RW didn’t get it to scan either call store MG again and he say I couldn’t used the one dollar RW because the .50 cataline cover all three candy bar need to get another item.I think this going to be my last trip to Walgreen.

    • You might want to check your catalina to make sure it is not a manufacturer coupon as well. If so, that was your problem.

  4. I think you forgot to mention using the $4 RR in Transaction #4. Just a heads up :)

    i have 26 rr i need to use by the 10th and isk what to do

    • Ouch! I would look at the best deals that generate RRs: Johnson’s/Desitin, Kotex, Cereals, Nivea, etc and see how many RRs you can get back. Ideally, you or someone close to you can use some of these products, even if they are a little above stock-up price.

    I tried the 5 bars of Dove soap for $5 and the register would not recognize my $1.50 off of 2 Dove products coupon. Did you have problems with this?

    • I didn’t do the deal. Skipping Walgreens this week. Maybe someone else will share their experiences.

      • I have had problems like this in the past if they didn’t ring the items up individually and just changed the quantity. I don’t know if that was the case for you.

    The Kotex by U is no longer printing. Unfortunately I did not receive them in my paper either. >_< These are my favorite too. Super happy that I stocked up last time this deal was out. Is this a month long deal again or just for this week?
