Walgreens Deals 4/26 – 5/2

View Comments

• Stephanie I just wanted to let you know that on the Suave there is a coupon, I'm not sure when it expires, but it should still be good that is $1.75 off 3 products. I used them last week like crazy and still had some left over when Kmart was doubling coupons in my area. Unfortunately I'm at work and couldn't give you the exact expiration date, but I can tell you that this coupon was right next to $1 off 2 products of Suave as well.

• I work at Walgreens and had people getting the RR deals last night, using different RR's to pay, and getting their new RR's just fine. Maybe it's different in different areas but it's still working here. The RR's you are using have to be a different company than the product you are trying to get a new RR for.

  For a different poster's question about cashiers minding doing back-to-back deals--different cashiers feel different ways. I'm very coupon-friendly and if there's no line I don't mind you doing deal after deal. Other cashiers will tell you that you can't use the RR until your next visit even though that's not what the coupon says. Some cashiers won't let you use a walgreens coupon and a manufacturer's coupon together. It can be frustrating but some of them don't understand that Walgreen's gets money from the manufacturers for the mfq's. They think that we're giving the product away. And some of them are just cranky and not very customer-service oriented.

• my walgreens offered to price match it to $2.25, i guess i'll ask them to knock it down to $2 (save myself the CA tax -__-)

  btw, steph i think your rss feed isn't working.. if it was, i would have known about the coupon issue before i went to the store!

• My Walgreens would not adjust down the Ecotrin coupon or the $2 Cutter repellant coupon (1 oz. for $1.99). Any tips? I even asked and she said no!

• Walgreens said they changed their RRs- You can not use a RR to receive a RR Even if it is a different item then the one you are purchasing. They also told me that I could not use more than one RR at a time for purchases anymore.

• Destiny,

  I had no problems today. Maybe the register reward machine was broken?

• I was in Walgreens this morning and I bought the Nivea, Rembrant, and Bayer with RR's I had from last week, but new RR's did not print out. When I asked the cashier she said it was because I had paid with RR's. I asked for a manager because I have done it before and always get the RR's. She just said a lot of things are changing and had to print new RR's for me. Did anyone else have any problems?

• Stephanie,

  I have to thank you because I look at the Walgreens add on line every Sunday morning, but this time I didn't see the Suave add until the third time around! I would have totally missed it had I not been reading your blog.
  So, here's the deal I plan for tomorrow. Sadly, in Florida, it's the tax that kills ya. I won't be counting that here. Also, in Florida, we require very good sunscreen. We really like the Neutrogena, and I was thrilled to see it was $2 off. I know from checking last week that it normally runs $9.99. So, it should be $7.99 this week.
  Transaction 1-3 Suaves, use $1 Q and $2 RR from the rubber bands two weeks ago. Pay $2.01. Get $2.
  Transaction 2- Nivea Body Wash, use $1 Q and $2 I just got. Pay $1.99. Get $4.99.
  Transaction 3-Buy 2 Neutrogena Sunscreen with Helioplex for a total of $15.98. Use $4.99 RR from Nivea. Pay $10.99. Get $5.
  The cool thing is that even at target the sunscreen is $8.99 and there are no coupons. So, for the same amount (or less) I would pay full price for the sunscreen, I'm getting 4 other items by working this deal.
  By the way, I read a cool idea on a blog that even if you don't need body wash (which I do not), it can still fill the hand-soap dispensers by the sink, which when it's free is fine with me.

• I went to Walgreens this morning and there were no rebate books out. The clerk told me they were eliminating them. I noticed they don't have the new book on-line either. I will miss getting the extra 10%!

• Sue,
  I feel your pain!
