Well, it didn’t work for me. I did score 4 things of Dixie paper plates, though, and I could have gotten more because I have another coupon – they were just out of them! I was going to buy 4 planters, but they weren’t BOGO for me, so I just bought two – which meant I didn’t get the RR. . . that’s OK, though. We do have 3 boxes of mac n cheese!

I went to my local Walgreen’s and scored a decent deal…..I was unable to get the $5 RR but still got 3 boxes of mac n cheese and the B1G1 planters for only $2.56 – so my question is….how can you tell the RR from just regular purchases?

I also did this deal yesterday and it worked for me! I bought 6 boxes of mac & cheese (I used two of the coupons, just got another one when I got to the store) and 4 of the peanuts with two coupons. I ended up paying $5 and change and got the $5 RR back!

I also went to Walgreens earlier in the week and got the tampon (4) and toothbrush deal (2), along with the vitamins for the rebate.

Thanks so much, Crystal for all you do. I had been doing the rebates, but I had no idea about how all these other deals worked. I’m saving lots more money now thanks to you!

In one transaction in Mid-MO I got 12 boxes of Mac & Cheese and 4 jars of Planters Peanuts. I used one .69 ad coupon towards the 12 boxes and I used 4 of the $3 Planters coupons, no problem. I got a $5 RR and I will apply the Planters purchase towards a $10 beer company rebate on salty snacks. This was an awesome deal, thanks so much for posting the details.

I bought two of the BOGO peanuts (for a total of 4), and 6 boxes of Mac & cheese. Used two $3 Planters coupons and two mac & cheese coupons from the WAG ad. Used my $5.50 RR from last night’s Oral-B transaction. Total: 53 cents! The only downer is, no RR printed. Is there maybe someone I could call? (I’ve talked to CVS customer service when I’ve had a prob, and they’ve been very helpful. Do you think WAG would be?)

NO RR for the Peanuts at an Oakland Walgreens

I had 5.50 RR from the Oral-B deal, and used it along with the planters & Mac-n-cheese coupons to get the peanuts and mac-n-cheese. Does it not give you RR if you have a balance at the end of – $0.38?

I was kind of bummed, but it’s kind of hard to demand a register reward that’s unadvertised, let alone when the store is already giving you money back. Oh well. I did get the 2 toothbrushes plus a lot of peanuts and mac-n-cheese for under $6, so I guess I can’t complain.

I did the peanut/Mac and Cheese deal today! I had 4 of the $3 coupons, so I bought 6 Mac and Cheese with 4 cans of Peanuts, used two of the $3 coupons plus the store coupon for the Mac and Cheese. My total came to $5.12, which I paid for with my Walgreen’s card balance from last month’s Easy Saver. I got back $5 in register rewards.

Then I went back and did the deal again–same coupons. I paid with my $5 register rewards and paid the leftover change with my Walgreen’s card. HOWEVER, this time it did NOT give me another $5 in register rewards, and I’m not sure why. I did the deals at different registers….I’m wondering if the register picked up on the fact that I had already gotten register rewards when she scanned the $5 for my payment? It only shows up on my receipt as a manufacturers coupon, but internally it may have flagged it. Who knows….still, it’s a good deal to come home with 8 cans of peanuts and 12 boxes of Mac and Cheese for only $5 and change.

Thank you Crystal! I now have 12 boxes mac and cheese and 8 cans/jars peanuts and paid a total of $5.25 OOP – - (Happy!). I even had to go to two stores since the first one didn’t have enough boxes of mac. I learned something important, though, or I could have gotten the whole lot for less than a dollar. If you use the reward certificate from the first purchase (6 boxes mac, 4 nuts) to earn the RR, and try to repeat it, using the RR from the first transation, you don’t get the RR the second time (sad ).

Since we use these items all the time, I was SOOO happy to find this deal!!

Just got back from Walgreens and the mac & cheese and peanuts worked great! I bought 6 mac & cheese @ $0.69 and 4 peanuts BOGO for $3.49. I used two $3 peanut coupons. I used my $5.50 RR from my Oral-B toothbrush purchase earlier in the week and my total was in the hole $0.13! I had forgotten to buy a filler, so I grabbed a chocolate candy for $0.59 and had to pay $0.49 OOP with tax! This was my first really good visit to Walgreens since I started following this website a few weeks ago! My husband thinks I’m nuts! That’s okay!

I purchased the Huggies Natural Care Wipes shown in the ad. I did this twice and got the $2 RR both times.

I got home alittle bit ago and the Planters/Kraft deal worked…sort of. The register would not scan the coupons for each second can of nuts (they rang up as $0). The cashier said coupons couldn’t be scanned for free items. On the spot (and because I hate to waste internet printed coupons), I decided to get 4 more cans of peanuts so that I could use my ohter 2 coupons. It didn’t occur to me until later that I should have needed to add more Mac & Cheese too, but I didn’t and they worked just fine.
Here’s what my transaction looked like:
12 Mac & Cheese @ .69 = $8.28
8 Planters Peanuts = $13.96
Total = $22.24 – $12 coupons (4 @ $3)= $10.24 oop.
Earned $6.50 Register Rewards
$3.74 overall for 8 cans of peanuts and 12 boxes of mac & cheese is a GREAT deal for us!!

The details printed out…between 6/20 and 7/13, buy (3) Planters products, get $4, buy (4) Planters, get $5, buy (5) or more, get $6.50.

I just got back from Walgreens and here’s what I did. I purchased 6 boxes of the mac & cheese at $.69 (even though the coupon said limit three, it allowed my six with no red flags). I then purchased two sets of the Planter’s Honey Roasted Nuts for buy one get one free (at $3.49 each) and used my two $3 off Planter’s nuts coupons from Kraft. My total with tax was $5.67. Then to my surprise since I only purchased half of what you mentioned in the deal I still received a $5 RR! So I basically got everything for $.67! You’re the best with bringing us all these great deals!

So i bought 9 mac and cheese and 4 planters. I was able to use the 7 day coupon for all of the mac and chesse. I tried to use 3 planters coupons and was only allowed to use two of the $3 off planter coupons since i only bought 2 of the planters becuase they were b1g1.I paid $7 and got 5 RR. I wasnt expecting to have to pay so much but thats ok, im glad i recieved the register rewards.

Huggies Natural Care wipes tubs $2 RR worked for me in TN. I used two 50 cent wipes coupons, too.

I was bummed that the store had only one of the RR Oral-B toothbrushes. I asked if they had any more, explaining that I have a BOGO coupon to use. Nope. No more. I was hoping for a raincheck. Instead, they sold me the one they had for 1/2 price! And it still spit out the $5.50 RR!

Went to Walgreens this evening and bought 2 boxes of the Huggies natural care wipes – one scented and one unscented (the last two they had left). Used my coupons on them and also purchased a few other items and was happy to get the $2 RR.

Hi crystal,
It seems the deal only works on the Huggies Natural Care wipes with the orange background. These are the ones with the most count in the tubs too: 80 wipes.

Also, I wanted to update on the Mac and Cheese deal. I went to the store to check this deal and the Planters are ringing
3.49 one can of Planters
0.00 free can
3.49 one can
0.00 free can

So you can only use two of the coupons because the third will beep and it will depend on your cashier if s/he pushes it through or not. I recommend you do the second deal variation: buy 4 Planters and 6 boxes of Mac and Cheese at a time for 12 cents after Register rewards is factored in. This is also a great way to roll those Oral B Cross Action RRs from this week offer as well. I bought the nuts first, then the toothbrush using the Planters RR to pay for them and then used the Oral B RR to buy more peanuts and Mac and cheese.

I hope this helps people.

I did not get the RRs for the wipes I think it is because I wasn’t thinking and also purchased the Swimmers in the same transaction….got it for the Swimmers.
