I picked up two priced at $5.99 each, used two $1/1 Qs (from Sunday inserts but I'm not sure how far back) and then submitted for Rebate #6 - $10 off $10 purchase. So FREE! Depending on the products you choose, ymmv, but still a great deal. On the Skintimate deal... the register wouldn't give the RR, but I found a shelf sticker on the Edge shave gel (there was none under the Skintimate) that said $2.99 RR with purchase of Edge OR Skintimate and I showed it to the manager so he honored it. (He actually rang up the Skintimate and then rang up a $2.99 discount.) My Wags had many of the Physicians Formula cosmetics on clearance.

Left and went to another Walgreens. I did the Scunche deal and was able to get a pack that was specially packaged and had an extra pack free!! I also got the buy 6 deodorants and $6 RR in return. I was able to get the deodorant on clearance ($1.19) and I used the .75 coupons from the Degree site. A great deal. This was my first time getting a great deal. I went to Walgreens 4 times that day.

I tried to get the Skintimate deal last week and thought I grabbed the wrong kind, but the manager said I didn't get the RR because I used a RR in the transaction. In the same transaction I did the Visine deal and got that $3 RR, but none for the Skintimates eventhough my RR was not from a previous Skintimate purchase... I didn't stay to argue, just chalked it up to experience and I may be sticking to CVS more anyway because of Walgreens' changes with their RR and rebates starting next month.

The cashier would only let me use one .40 coupon instead of the 2. The register accepted it and he took it off. :( He also tried to tell me that I could only use one RR per transaction even though I had more items than coupons. I let the skippy coupon slide since it was just .40, but insisted on speaking to a manager about using more that one RR. I was allowed to use both as I should have been able to do.

I cannot roll my deals at Walgreens. I tried to use a $2 RR from (something other than shave gel) on shave gel expecting it to kick out a $2.50 RR for the shave gel and it didn't. The person behind the counter told me to read the back of the RR that you couldn't use one RR to get another one even if it was for a different item. Did I do something wrong, or have things changed since Crystal first wrote her Walgreens 101 (which I did read and reread. :-) ) I’m having a problem and I’m hoping that someone can help me, either Crystal or someone else reading.

Bought the $3.49 MaxFresh White - used a $2 RR from the chapstick and a .75 coupon. Do I have a way to contact Catalina to get the credit? This is the first time a deal hasn't worked for me! Thanks!
