Where is this printable Robitussin coupon? I am only seeing a $1/1 coupon on their site. Thanks!
[Reply]
Just noticed your counter – congratulations
[Reply]
The $3/1 Robitussin coupon says “one per purchase”. Does this mean that you can use one for each bottle or one for each transaction?
*****************
Money Saving Mom here: Unless it says, “Limit 1 per transaction”, you should be able to use more than one in a transaction unless your store limits you. “One per purchase” is on most coupons and only refers to the fact that you should use one manufacturer’s coupon per item purchased. Hope that helps!
[Reply]
I don’t know if some P&G’s are different, but in mine, the $.75 coupon for the Crest rinse was for a bigger size. Although it would probably scan anyway, I didn’t want people to accidentally use a coupon wrongly.
[Reply]
The acid controller in the pharmacy booklet is not the same as the one on rebate.

I’m always afraid to use such high value coupons with all the fake ones going around. This looks legit but how do you really know?
********************
Money Saving Mom here: Diana, so long as the coupon is directly off of the manufacturer’s website, you can be for sure that the coupon is legitimate.

Just got back from Walgreens — spent $16 got $19.50 back in RR, which I will use to buy some of the Sept. free after rebate items. MJ — I did the Robitussin deal — had no problem using all three coupons in one transaction. We are well-stocked on cold medicine!!!
I could not find the Visine–couldn’t find it in the ad and there was nothing marked on the Visine in the store (but I have a 3-week-old baby, so maybe I’m just sleep deprived!?!??!)
[Reply]
Today in my paper (San Antonio) i got a $3/10 purchase with no limitations!! Its fantastic! I purchased (5) Shcick Quattro Woman razors @ 4.99 each and used (5) $4 off manu coupons. My total was 1.95 and i paid with my gift card that i got from rebates.
Also, Today i found out that our walgreens sales the newspaper for .50 every sunday instead of $1.60. What a great deal that is!.
[Reply]
My RR’s are not printing for the Robitussin. Anybody else having this problem? I’m in Salem, Oregon.
[Reply]
Thanks for your work. It is very selfless of you to compile all of this for us!
I accidentally posted this on the wrong post a second ago, but I’ll try to do it right this time
I tried to do the Robitussin deal at Wags today. I used 3 of the $3 coups and bought three Robs. The register reward didn’t print. They told me it was because I used manufacturer’s coups, which means it won’t print. Is this true, or is there just something else I need to do?
Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
[Reply]
I have posted the direct links to the coupons on my blog if you can’t find the specific coupon.
I did this morning. This is a great deal. Use the RR to buy the free after rebate deals, and it is even better!!
Yea Walgreens!
[Reply]
I searched three times through all my inserts from today (9/7/08), and found no Dove MQs at all! I’m so disappointed. I wanted free chocolate! : )
[Reply]
Can the “buy 3 kraft products get wheat thins free” from the ALL YOU mag be used at wags in combination with the buy $15 worth of these products get $5 rebate? anyone know?
[Reply]
My beauty counter had a $1/1 coupon for the Chemistry Shampoo, but I had to ask for it. It was a white sheet on a tear pad they had.
[Reply]
I’m a little new to the coupon world so feel free to tell me if this won’t work.
Oust Sanitizer 2.99
Use $1 Easy Saver Coupon
Stack with $1 Manufacturer Coupon (I don’t know which insert, I file alphabetically)
Final Price = 0.99
I’ve also got a B1G1 coupon for this product. Will I be able to use this coupon in conjunction with the above?
[Reply]
I rolled the Robitussin deal into the Scrubbing bubbles deal X 2. I spent about $14 out of pocket and I am getting 3.79 back in rebate for the Scrubbing bubbles action Cleaner. I used my Visine Coupons to help me get the price down on the original robitussin purchase. Here is what I bought for $14: 4 scrubbing bubble action wipes, 6 scrubbing bubbles wipes, 2 scrubbing bubbles cleaner, 2 windex wipes, 12 robitussin, 6 visine, 6 Smart Balance butter, 3 2pks of Mr Clean Eraser, 2 Mr Clean Cleaning solution, 1 large package of q-tips, 2 packs of gum, 2 -.99 cent Halloween items, 1 candy item, 2 neutrogena sunscreens(these were $10 items!). Hooray for RR!!!
[Reply]
I did the Robittussin deal no problem. Working here in Chicago. I actually did the deal 4 times, as my family gave me their coupons to pick it up for them. (They love the deals but never seem to make it to the stores!!! So I get them the freebies and get to keep the RRs! It’s a good situation, otherwise they’d miss out on everything!)
[Reply]
At my Walgreens, RR never print if I use coupons, so I’ve just given up on combining them
If I’m buying items that produce RR, I check them out in a seperate transaction with NO coupons, just to be safe and then do the rest of my purchases with coupons in a second transaction.
I would love to know more about the RR & coupon issue if anyone has information from Walgreens since it seems some people have success at it.
[Reply]
Leigh – You should be able to use the B1G1 with the Oust. But since it produces $0.01 overage YMMV.
Your transaction would look like this:
2 – Oust Sanitizer @ 2.99 ea (5.98)
B1G1 – <2.99>
Waglreens Easy Saver – <2.00>
Man Q – <1.00>
Total – <0.01>
Make sure you are buying something else to absorb the penny overage this causes.
This transaction worked fine for me.
[Reply]
I just got back from Walgreens. Did the Robitussin deal twice, have $20 in RR, used the printed coupons with no trouble at all.
Here’s my question, and I would VERY much like an answer.
Can I take one of these $10 RR and use it to do the deal again plus add some groceries into it as well?
If ANYONE knows the answer to this, please post it as I don’t want to waste $4 of my RR to do the robitussin thing again if it won’t work.
Thanks!
[Reply]
The Crest mouthwash on sale at Walgreens, while a great deal, should be watched out for. Recently there was a news story about how this particular Crest product turns the area between the teeth brown. My husband and I can vouch for this as being true – we both noticed that our teeth were brown at the inside edges and discontinued use of the mouthwash. Sorry for the bad news. Happy Couponing!
[Reply]
I bought three Robitussin, and 1 Visine. I used the ES coupon for the Visine, a $3/1 Visine coupon from All You, and (3) of the printable Robitussin coupons. My total was $2.37 and I got a $10 RR!! We are stocked on cold medicine for the winter!! Thanks for the info!
[Reply]
I did the Robitussin deal twice. I got the $10 RR both times.
[Reply]
Wow, what an exciting week at Walgreens! I don’t have access to 2 computers to print off the Action Scrubber coupons, but I will use the 2 I printed, and I love the handy flushable wipes (great if you’ve got potty training kids- you never know where things will end up!), so I will use 3 $1/1 coupons for those from the 7/20 S, and then to round it out (why not go for 7 items?) I will add on 2 Shout sprays and use 2 $0.75/1 coupons from the 8/10 S2. That should get me all that stuff for $0.03 after the $10 in RRs!!
I will also for sure do the Robitussin deal- I was looking at it, and even without the coupons it’s a great deal! You get 3 bottles of the Robitussin or Dimetapp for $2 after RRs! But I think I will use my coupons, since I printed them out…
Walgreens, here I come!
[Reply]
Leigh… I have that same B1G1 oust coupon (actually I have 2 LOL) + 1.50 mc + 1 WAGS to make the final price .49 for two. I’ve used similar coupons together like that with no problem. HTH! Danielle
[Reply]
hi all,
i just moved to California and our Walgreens ad is only about six to eight pages a week. It’s missing most of the sale items, RRs and store coupons. Does anyone know: if I print the store coupons off the website, will my stores in SF accept them? What about RRs?
Thanks,
Jen
[Reply]
Mary: “Here’s my question, and I would VERY much like an answer.
Can I take one of these $10 RR and use it to do the deal again plus add some groceries into it as well?”
Mary if you use the $10 RR you got from the Robitussin deal to pay for the Robitussin next time you will NOT get the RR to print again.
However, you should be able to use a RR from a different transaction like the cleaning supplies to pay for the Robitussin and you will still get the RR.
Walgreens doesn’t allow you to “roll” the RR to get more of the same product. Hope this makes sense.
[Reply]
I did the Robitussin deal twice today and got the $10 register rewards both times. I am not a big fan of Walgreens because of their weird coupon taking rules, but this was a good deal. Rule 1 (for those asking) you have to have at least as many items as coupons–if you have more items than coupons, it won’t take anymore. So throw in some low money fillers to fix the problem. Rule 2, you can’t use a RR you get for a deal again on the same deal to get more RR’s. It won’t work. I just used my RR today on diapers, cause I need to build up my stockpile. BTW, I found the boxes of Pampers on “Clearance Liquidation” at Walgreens today for $10.74!!! So be on the look out for them. Maybe they are doing away with the boxes? Be on the lookout.
[Reply]
Hi! I ran to Walgreens this evening and picked up the ROBITUSSIN DEAL & it worked fine. The cash register didn’t even BEEP at her =) I have a pic of my haul at: http://momsbyheart.blogspot.com . Over $70 worth for under $5 after RR’s WOOHOO!
[Reply]
I tried to use RR on the scrubbing bubbles deal yesterday and the new RR did not print out. The cashier said I could not use RR to pay for items that produced RR. I had to return everything and rebuy it without using RR. : (
[Reply]
A great deal at walgreens.

Okay, when I went to our Walgreens today, ready to get Robitussin for such a great deal, it wasn’t on sale at all. When I asked one of the workers about it, she said our Walgreens is very different from others and the RR wouldn’t be the same either. Has anybody else had this problem? I had noticed before that I couldn’t find some of the deals (or products) that were mentioned here so now I guess I know why. It’s probably because we’re such a small town? Has anyone from Central Mississippi been able to do these deals? Thanks for your help!
[Reply]
I went to one of my local Walgreens today to do the Robitussin deal and the RR did not print. The checker had to call the manager over to deal with the printable coupons, there was a long line behind me, and my lunch hour was over so I did not ask about the RR ($0.99 for a bottle of Robitussin was fine, I didn’t mind paying) even though I know I should have.
however, I remembered that a few weeks ago, a $2 RR that was supposed to print for Huggies did not and I had used a coupon for that purchase as well (at a different local Walgreens).
I think my Walgreens are also not printing RR’s when coupons are used though I will need to confirm next time I try out a deal like this.
Very disappointing if so and I’m tempted to call corporate Walgreens to find out if the stores get to set these policies for themselves and what they have to say about it.
[Reply]
I tried to do the Robitussin deal today, using the $3 coupons, and my $10 RR did not print. The cashier was pretty snotty and told me it was because I used coupons. I tried to tell her that I was very familiar with the RR program and I had used coupons on items before without problems getting my RR. She called her manager over (who was much nicer) and she also told me it was because I used coupons. I know that is not true, since I had just used a coupon on the Excedrin two days prior and received my $1 RR just fine. I didn’t feel like arguing with my whiny child there so I just called Corporate when I got home. The woman I spoke with said someone would get back with me within 24 hours. I got a call a few minutes ago from the manager I spoke with this morning and she said she got permission to give me $10 on a gift card. So those of you who did not get the RR might benefit from a call to Walgreens Corporate. Here is the number: 847-914-2500. Hope this helps someone!
[Reply]
Am I missing something here? Why would Walgreens have a problem honoring the RRs just because of coupons? Don’t they get the money back from the manufacturer for the coupons? Also, I was wondering if anyone has noticed anything in writing on their adds that say RR’s are void if coupons are used. I haven’t tried it yet, and who knows, it may work fine. But it’s been discouraging to read that so many of you are having problems with it. It’s not like you’re doing anything under-handed. How dare they punish people for being financially clever!
[Reply]
I just did the 4 scrubbing bubbles with the 4 $2.75 coupons. The cashier didn’t want to scan in all the coupons because it said cannot be combined. i said that is only if you do more then one coupon on the same item. She went ahead and did it but said she would probably get in trouble for it. I don’t want to get cashiers in trouble. I am understanding the coupons correctly?

I went to Walgreens this afternoon for the Robitussin. My RR didn’t print. The cashier had to call the manager up. He got the RR to print without using coupons. The cashier had mentioned to him that I wasn’t even paying $5 for a $10 RR. He gave me my RR and I was on my merry way. He said he would not be issuing them for the others though. He was leaving them to call corporate. We have another store on the other side of town so I will try that store.
[Reply]
I posted earlier about not getting my $10 RR on the Robitussin deal. I did use a $1 RR from the Excedrin deal in that transaction…maybe that’s why my $10 RR did not print??
[Reply]
I just got done with the scrubbing bubbles deal, and I walked away with the 4 scrubbers for 4.48 after tax. The RR would not print because I used 4 coupons for the transaction. I am noticing others had the same problem I had. I am think that a little more than a dollar for each scrubber was fine to pay especially since I opened the box and there were coupons inside, and they did such a good job cleaning my tub.
[Reply]
I bought the chemistry for 7.99 (free after rebate) and the Tylenol pm. Used WG coupon $1/1 and mf coupon $2/1. Free plus overage! I’m new at this but I am having lots of fun! I love saving money
One question, I ended up returning the 2 Pantenes that I bought a couple days ago because the coupons didn’t work as I hoped and I spent too much for shampoo. Anyways, do I enter both the original receipt and the return receipt for the correct rebate? I want to do the right thing and not get the rebate for the Pantene but I also want to make sure that putting in a return receipt won’t mess up the rest of my rebates. Anyone tried this before?
[Reply]
I have a post on my blog with a couple of scenarios for the Scrubbing Bubbles deal this week.

I did the robitussin deal and the scrubbing bubbles deal yesterday along with a few other things at the same time and my RR’s did not print, I used coupons on several items.I asked the cashier where my RR’s were and he called the manager over, the manager gave me my RR’s and I took them and RAN.:) Im guessing that you cant use coupons on RR items?
[Reply]
Anyone had problems with Walgreens turning away all printable coupons? Mine (in Orlando) did this yesterday- finally I asked if this was a new policy and after going to two managers, the clerk reluctantly told me she was told she could take them “this time”. Wouldn’t go so far as to say it was official policy. Anyone heard if this is official?
Thanks!
[Reply]
MSM – THANK YOU! You are fabulous! You are wonderful! You are my new and favorite HERO! I finally got up the guts to do a Walgreens run (my first ever for any store) and I had so much fun! I went after 12am (when I get off work anyway) and got $80 worthof stuff for free!!! I am now surely a dedicated reader! Thanks again!

[Reply]
I’m not getting RR’s either. I’m surprised anyone is (or that some are and some aren’t), if the registers are all set up the same! I did the Robitussin deal first, (bought 3) and got $5 instead of $10. Whatever, I thought. Still okay, since my kids actually have colds and we needed the stuff.
Went back today to do the sudafed/tylenol (now DH has the cold). The ES coupon for Tylenol was denied (it was definitely the right product – tylenol sinus, 24 count) and NO RR’s printed. I used mfg coupons, so I got a pretty good price on them, but not a single thing that Walgreen’s was supposed to honor (their own coupon and the RR’s) came through. Really frustrating.
My first rebate to get me started on a gift card was denied, too. Said “not on receipt” (It was! The exact item!) That’s probably a good thing – I think I’m done with Walgreen’s.
[Reply]
Okay, I found a Walgreens nearby that had the same deals as most others, but my RR did not print. The manager told me it was because of the coupons. He was very helpful, but I was still frustrated about the situation.
Then, I spoke with another sales associate who said she would be checking into it because she thought they should print. She thinks it is because my total was less than the amount of the RR, meaning that if my end total had been more than the RR it would have printed. She wasn’t sure though. Any thoughts?
Thanks for the number for Corporate. I still got great deals, but I really wanted to do better with those RR!
[Reply]
Hi. My RR did not print with the Robitussin deal at first but it was b/c I bought Robitussin MAX. The mgr. rang it again and it only printed $5 RR with me buying 3 so he tore that RR up (ouch!) and rang 3 Robitussin CF and a $10 RR printed without any trouble. I also used 3 $3 IPQ. I did the same transaction again with 2 Robitussin CF + 3 $3 coupons and it worked perfectly. Happy shopping!
[Reply]
This week I’ve done the Robitussin deal three times, the scrubbing bubbles deal once, and the tylenol/benadryl deal once. I haven’t had any trouble using coupons, except for the tylenol/benadryl deal. That one didn’t print, but the manager was nice enough to write me out a $4 RR, which I promptly turned around and used for the Robitussin deal. I did have one issue,which was this: I got a $10 RR for the Robitussin deal, which was then rolled into the Scrubbing bubbles deal. At first, the register didn’t want to take the RR. The associate was trying to tell me that it was because I used coupons, but I defuncted that. I grabbed the RR and read the fine print and noticed two things: 1) the total must be greater than the RR (and I would say before taxes, just to be safe) and 2) you must have more items than coupons, so make sure that you count the number of coupons that you have and add in inexpensive fillers if necessary. This is especially important if you are using an IVC and a MFC for one item. This week chapstick is BOGO for 99 cents, or knee-highs are another inexpensive item that most everyone needs. Once I started doing the above, I haven’t had any problems. One more things, though, it definitely depends on the Wal-greens, because there is another one here in the same town that I refuse to go to because they ALWAYS have problems. I’m in Phoenix, AZ.
[Reply]
i am reading about the printable coupons for some of these walgreen deals but do not know where to get the printable coupons. can you help? thanks (especially the 2.75 scrubbing bubbles coupons)
[Reply]
RR’s were not printing (they said it was all day) but she was putting the amount onto my gc…no big problems.
As CVS has not impressed me lately, I have to say I was happy with Walgreens today. I did a pretty good trip at WalGreens today with the Robitussin/Dimetapp money-maker deals, free oust, and Scrubbing Bubbles deal.
Summary:
spent on GC : $57.04
RRs:$33.98
September rebate: $16.77
TOTAL OOP (on gc): $6.29
my transactions are on my blog!

So I have been sick with a cold, and really did need more Robitussin. So I went to Walgreeens. First, the girl tried to tell me they couldn’t accept more than one copy of a coupon. I told her I had NEVER heard that before, and then the pharmacist (I was in the back) came over and told her to just scan them. After using my coupons, the RR wouldn’t print. After talking to a very nice manager, he scanned the Robitussin in order to trigger the RR to print, and then explained that it doesn’t so much have to do with using coupons as it does the amount of money spent. He said the computers are waiting for a certain amount to be spent before they print the rewards, and usually a deal with work with coupons if you buy double the amount of the original deal (ie: 6 bottle of Robitussin instead of 3). That’s just what he said – it doesn’tt make any sense to me!
[Reply]
Thanks for the tip on Robitussin, as well as comments from others. I live in Oakland, CA, and was able to use my printable $3/1 coupons with no problem. I also made sure to have an overall total of $10 or more, and the RR printed with no problem. I just looked at it as getting my “overage” early and getting reimbursed for it with the RR, if that makes sense.
Here’s a brain-twister: Does anyone know if you roll RR to another different RR deal, do you have to have a final total after any RR used that equals the amount of RR you will generate on deal #2? It would seem to me that even if you can “roll” them, if you had to have a final amount equal to the new RR generated that you would just keep on slowly putting money into the system.
[Reply]
Hey–I have done the Robitussin deal multiple times this week! I feel sort of bad about it, but the Robitussin site lets you print out as many coupons as you want, so I did. I have had some stores tell me that the Register Rewards didn’t print because I used coupons, but most of the time when they called over the manager, he/she either voided the transaction and did it again or just gave me $10 in cash! I have also had some stores tell me that I could only use 1 coupon instead of 3, but most have taken all 3 coupons at once. I think I’ve learned one small thing, though, that might help some of you: the register rewards only seem to print when the 3 Robitussin are exactly the same formula. If you try to combine a Cold and Cough, a Cold, and a Nighttime Flu (for example), you probably won’t get a register reward. When I’ve done this with 3 bottles of the same formula, I’ve gotten the $10 register reward almost every time. I also always make sure to ask the cashier first if his/her register has been printing rewards recently–I think a lot of the stores near me have broken machines, but the cashiers seem to know which registers have working machines, so be sure to ask. Hope that helps some of you!
Also, does anyone have any suggestions for what I should do with all these bottles of Robitussin? I was thinking of just donating them to my church, but if anyone has another suggestion, let me know!

I did the Robitussin deal at Walgreen’s tonight. The only problem I had was choosing the CORRECT ones. There are some that are $3.99 and some that are buy 1 get one free (price around $6). So look closely at the tags.

Just a head’s up on the Visine. The price at my Walgreens is $3.99 AFTER the Easy Saver coupon, not before so it will still cost a dollar.

Hi, I also can’t find the $3/1 Robitussin coupon. I only see $1/1 coupons. The link someone provided above just re-directs you to Robitussin’s home page. Thanks!

There isn’t a $3 coupon on the Robitussin site. All I received was a $1 coupon. Did they change the value on their website?
