I cannot for the life of me find the Glade Wisp candle Qs in any of my 9/7 inserts. I wonder if northeast FL didn’t get them? Either way, it stinks, ’cause I really wanted to try those. Grr.

Well, I missed out on the Glade Flameless candle deal as they were all out, but I posted about the rest of my trip

P.S. I still have a Just For Men Touch of Gray coupon FREE to whoever emails and wants it. It’s for a free box up to $9.50 in value.

Another thing this week with the wisps. Some have a coupon inside them for $3 off wisp candles. That means you can buy the 2 with your first $5 off, then get 2 $3 offs. Use the $3 to buy two more and pay $3 – $3 RR.

roll this between the oral-b for keeping the RR out of your pockets

Will the ‘extra’ rebates for October for the Nivea and Lypsyl work even if you already did them in September?

My Walgreens wouldn’t let me use the B1G1 and $5/1 coupons on the Glade Wisp Flameless candles because I was only “buying” one. I just had here void them off. I also couldn’t use my crest $1/1 coupon b/c the type of toothpaste on sale didn’t match the coupon. Oh well, I already have about 10 tubes stored up…but you can’t pass up free toothpaste!

I’m going to try the candles at a different store today. Maybe if it doesn’t work I can use two $5/1 coupons and still make $1 in overage after RR.

Thanks, Crystal for all you work. Hang in there…you’re almost to the 2nd trimester!!!

This is the best week I have had yet at Walgreens. I spent $2.97 off my gift card. I filled an entire green bag to the top with stuff. My receipt said I saved $81.04. Plus I got $3 RR and can do $14 in rebates. My husband almost fell over when I finished my transaction and he didn’t have to swipe the credit card. I love Walgreens. Lately it has been really good!

I was just wondered if you knew which gas station the coupons for the Sobe Life water was at?

Here is what I have found out at my Walgreens for RR. You are only allowed one Manufacture Coupon PER ITEM. The RR are considered Manufactured Coupons. So if you used a Manufactured Coupon for every item in your cart then you can’t use a RR. My manager just told me that yesterday. At my Walgreens I can use more than one RR per transaction and it will print all of my RR. I haven’t had too bad of luck at mine! Thank goodness! Thanks for the website!

Are you sure the Glade Scented Oil Candle Holders are limit of 2 rebates? It says in my printed book that it’s a limit of 4. (offer #31)

I’d like to know because I already got 2, but I’d love to get 2 more. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips! Spent $40.66 on $72.94 worth of stuff. I am getting back $36.26 back in rebates. That means that I actually got $72.94 worth of stuff for $4.40! I think that’s a pretty good deal.

Hi, I just called Walgreens (Easy Saver) and they indeed confirmed that these 4 items were added to October’s ES FAR items:
#45 Nivea for Men Body Wash
#46 LypSyl LypMoisturizer
#47 Loreal Wrinkle Revitalift
#48 Chemistry Hair Care

However, ALL 4 have a LIMIT OF 1, including the LypSyl. Is it Limit 1 or 2?

Thanks for your input(s)! I have a stack of RR that I need to use….guess I’ll have to split up items into multiple transactions to use them now if the new ‘rule’ of one per transaction is going to be in effect. I was wondering if anyone asked corporate….

Recenly I’ve had the second RR beep and not go through but that was before I learned the proper order “RR, MC, Wags coupons”. I had been handing to the salesclerk MC, Wags coupons, then RRs so I thought it was my fault (versus a new ‘rule’).

Have a blessed day!

Thanks so much for allowing everyone to post…I love reading everyone’s scenarios!

In response to Laura’s question about 1 RR per transaction…my Wags told me that the last time I went. I had always been able to use more than 1 per transaction, but the cashier went out of her way to tell me that I can now only use one per transaction.

PS to my previous comment on the Crest toothpaste coupons: People should still read their coupons carefully as some areas got $1 off two instead of $1 off one which may be the reason why coupon beeped for some people.

I also wanted to make sure people knew that even when sale prices may be switched on Saturday evening, Register rewards don’t become active until after midnight of that that.

In short: NEVER do a register reward deal the day before the sales period is supposed to start.

The Crest toothpaste coupon reads: “$1 off ANY One Crest Paste 4.1oz or larger OR Liquid Gel…etc, etc” The Tooth paste on sale is Crest 6.4 oz so people should be able to use it.

I love your site!! I have learned so much. Just wanted to mention that the coupon for the Scrubbing Bubbles Max kit is only $1, the $3 coupon is for the automatic shower cleaner. Might be a regional thing, I’m not sure; my Sunday paper is in Birmingham, AL.

I got a MC coupon for Walgreen’s in my coupon insert yesterday (10/5) that’s for $2/1 on the L’Oreal Products.
