I have a question. I bought Ultra TUF 36 Tall Kitchen 13 Gallon bags for $3.99 and got one for free (B1G1 Free sale). Can I get the $5 Easy Saver rebate ($5 on 2)? In other words, does Walgreens view the free one as being purchased?

Also, is there a way to check your rebate claims before finalizing them? I still want to be able to add receipts for the month of August…is there a way to see my claim total at this time?

I’m hitting Walgreens this afternoon. Here’s what I’m planning to buy. (I used the virtual coupon organizer at couponmom.com to help me find the coupons.)

2 – Olay Ribbons body washes ($6.67)
minus $1.50 coupon, minus $2.00 coupon

2 – Olay Botanicals body washes ($6.67)
minus $2.00 coupon, minus $1.00 coupon

1 – Tag Body spray ($3.33)
minus $1.00 coupon

2 – Old Spice Red zone spray ($6.67)
minus $1.00 coupon

1 – Children’s Zyrtec ($9.99)
minus $3.00 coupon from flyer at dr.’s office

It will come out to $21.83 after coupons, then I will use the $5/$20 purchase coupon (good today only – from walgreens.com) to make it $16.83. And I will get a $7 Register Rewards certificate for purchasing the body washes and body sprays. So my net cost will be $9.83.

I was so excited today when I went and got all of my great deals and was actually paid 2.96 to get everything! Not to shabby for my first day out. I have a pic up and details of everything that I got!

Can you use a coupon with an item that they are offering for a rebate? I have done this in the past and I didn’t get the rebate.

To answer Shannon’s question. I went to Walgreens today and bought the One Touch Ultra Mini Blood Glucose Monitoring system with the coupon from the paper for up to $20 off. In the add it’s says there is a rebate in the box… I haven’t found it yet… but I haven’t looked real hard for it yet. But with the coupon it was free anyways so I am happy but it would be really cool if I could find the rebate!!!

At my Walgreens, there was a huge bin in the front of the store with flourescent light bulbs marked down to $2.25 each. On each package, there was a coupon stapled to it for $2.00 off. I bought several at 25 cents each!

Buy 1 BioINFUSION Organics or Olive Hair Care at $5.99, Get $5.99 Rebate (LIMIT 2!)

This deal in Oklahoma is you buy 2 at 5.99 each, but only get a 5.99 rebate back, so in essence you end up paying 5.99 for 2.

You might double check this for other states.

The Oil of Olay bodywash coupons were in one of the newspaper inserts (Smart Source or Red Plum) a few weeks ago. There are also some $1 and $1.50 coupons out there from previous weeks. I’m not sure which date they are from, though.

It looks like my Nivea lip balm rebate is for a coupon that you can use in stores for another lip balm, not a check for $2.99. So … you will spend whatever you pay for the 1st lip balm, postage to mail in the rebate, wait for a few weeks, and you can go to the store and get the 2nd lip balm for free.

Where did you guys get the coupons for the oil of olay body wash?

Rachel, it looks like the Neutrogena is the only thing for that particular RR. Usually they have a box or something around it to help you see what is offered. The header is only over the 2 Neutrogena items.

Alyssa, I have used more than one before, but it seems like a lot of Walgreens are really cracking down on the coupons. Bummer!

Question:
Can you use 2 Register Rewards to pay for one transaction? I had one cashier tell me it’s not allowed, but I can’t find it in writing. Is it up to each store?
Thanks!

UPDATE ON NIVEA! EVEN BETTER!
I went to walgreens and got the nivea lip balm ($2.99). (I mentioned earlier that there was a rebate in last sunday’s paper and there is a $.50 coupon in the easy saver booklet). I checked out at the beauty counter and the lady said she had a manufacturer coupon if I wanted to use it. It was for $.50. She said nivea sends them coupons a lot. So you end up paying $1.99 oop and getting back $2.99!

HELP!

I am new to “shopping strategically” and don’t really understand the Register Rewards at Walgreen’s. For instance, in the current ad at Walgreens, on page 21, at the top, it says “Buy $30 or more in participating products, recieve $10 in Register Rewards.” My question is, how do I know what are the participating products? The girl I asked said she thought it was just those Neutrogena products, but she didn’t seem to be too sure. Any other tips for Register Rewards?

If you could help me out I’d really appreciate it!! Thanks!

Please help! I am going to purchase 3 of the Olay body washes for $10 today. I have two $2 coupons and one $1 coupon along with a $3 RR. Can I use all of those with 3 body washes or do I need to throw in a small forth item?

jenni, the Easy Saver is Walgreen’s monthly Rebate booklet. It contains both coupons and rebate deals. You will find it at the front of the store next to the weekly sales ad.

I’m new to this site and coupon use. I’ve been reading, but haven’t done anything yet. So my question is: There is a coupon in my newspaper ad for a One Touch Ultra Mini Blood Glucose Monitoring system and Walgreens has a rebate coupon for the same system. How does that work? Do I get charged the $14.99 and send in the rebate or do I pay anything and still get the rebate? The coupon is “Save up to $20 on any OneTouch system”.

I don’t actually need the system, but thought for free, I can donate it. Thanks for the help. I’ve gone through the Walgreens turitorial set up, but still need to get it done!
