Woohoo! As if they Walgreens deals weren’t already fabulous enough this week, now you can use this $5/$25 Walgreens coupon on Tuesday 9/29 and Wednesday 9/30 to make them even better!
Note the fine print: Purchase amount of $25 or more must be before taxes and after all manufacturer and Walgreens coupons and discounts. Limit one coupon per customer per offer.
Not all stores enforce the $25 total after coupons, but it pays to be aware of this beforehand!

I’m still sooooo MAD about this…When did the policy change? After my last bad trip to Wags I may never go back if this is the way it is!!! Does it generate a RR if you use a RR to purchase a different item, because RR are a man. coupon!!! This is all sooooo STUPID!!
Janel
Ashley, you should tell corp that if this is true, then they are guilt of false advertising because in this past Sunday’s ad it plainly states that additional coupon savings are in most Sunday papers right under the razors that are on sale and giving the register rewards. Not only is this illegal but poor in taste on Walgreens behalf. I understand that some people misuse the RR system, but for people like me who actually only get 1 of each deal, it is completely unfair!
Jennifer Laxson
Janel…I seen that too…And it’s not just this past paper either…It’s a a couple times a month that they do that Walgreens price match thing in the papers…I’m calling corp on my lunch break!
Tara seems to get to the bottom of things real quick…I wish if you could find some time in your day that you could call and get us some answers…Please.

Is it possible for them to program all their catalina machines differently. Yesterday I went to 2 different Wags and used coupons on all my products and gott all my RR’s……and the cashiers are all great. I feel so lucky!! In fact my normal CVS has a new manager and he has been so unpleasant, I don’t like going there anymore!!
By the way, I usually use my RR’s for my newspapers(4) to eat them up when they are no great deals!!

i also had the same thing happen to me today but… i bought 1 razor with the qp, got an RR… got a Vaseline with QP got an RR, next I tried it again… and guess what.. no RRs for both item. MY store manager went back and gave me the $6.99 + $6.00 on a gift card. this was great however I was stumped because all my transactions and my game plan was screwed from that point on. I got home and i felt like maybe some of my other items may not have printed an RR. To sum it all up I got everything that was free after RRs –
Halls, dentek, toothbrushes, gillette, vaseline, chapstick, Emergency-C, Robitussin DM, got all these itemsTWICE. Plus, 1 herbal essence, 2 ponds creams, 2 Trop50, 2 ivory soap packs (packs of 3 ), 2 packs of english muffins, and Filler items : 4 buterball chicken broth, 1 can tomato sauce, I spent $15.00 plus change (cash OOP). Now I know I got a good deal for all these items HOWEVER, i used RR’s for all these transactions + Manuf QPs so i started losing track at some point if i got all my RRs since I kept rolling them over…..Ugh! It was just alot of work this time and I came home with $11 in RR’s. Again, I know I got a good deal since my OOp was much less then the items are actually worht but i just hate that WAlgreens is changng something in the system, it makes it much difficult for those whore are buying more items on one trip. I don’t like to have to come back because it seems when I do everything is gone. I hear also from the Employees that they buy alot of the items themselves especially since they have the 15% discount everything is pretty much a money maker for them on the free arfetr RR items, so when the deals come out they snag a good portion. So in mys tore you are not only competing with other customers for the itmes, aslo with the staff. I had the manager tell me yesterday that I got the last 2 gillettes, and his look was of disappointment. I kept having to ask him for Halls also and he kept taking the big box of stock back to the back, and would not put them on the shelves either, as with the robitussisn. Maybe he was saving for the next shift change to grab their share.

good scenario IF they have everything in stock but I’d rather make more smaller purchases to roll the RR than be stuck with $29 in RR —

I just started doing Walgreen’s since I have one close to me now and it seems that their RR’s expire pretty fast. A lot faster than ECB’s at CVS. Has anybody else noticed that? Does anybody know if they’ll take expired ones?
Donna
I was thinking about trying Walgreen for the first time this week…doesn’t look like the week to do that!
Michelle H
I just went to Walgreen’s to check it out here in So. Cal and I bought the Herbal Essence and Venus Razor, used the coupons on both and got both RR’s….so all seems good at my store.

Someone asked earlier about using the RR at Jewel Osco… Yes you can! I have and it is wonderful!!! It’s actually a good idea to always use the RR at Jewel instead of at Walgreens so that you don’t accidentally use the RR to pay for a transaction that includes an item that earns a RR. Reason I say this, is because if you do use a RR to pay, you will not get the next RR.

Awesome! I went this morning before they were out of everything and made $6.58 PROFIT on my purchase! I love the look on the cashier’s face when the RR’s just keep printing out:)

Took my $5/$25 to 3 stores, got to the register with all the items and all my coupons. 2 stores wouldn’t use the $5/$25 saying that your total has to be $25.00 or more AFTER all your coupons are used, as the coupon stated. 3rd store rang in the $5/$25 as my FIRST coupon and didn’t give my any trouble and then deducted all my regular coupons. Go figure! It just seems to be hit or miss with Walgreeens. Also, I used coupons on many of the RR items and all of my RR printed out just fine, I’m in St. Louis.

It looks like there are A Lot of comments about the RR’s and Q’s. I must say it all depends on the store and the people. I spent an hour or more figuring out how to do the 5/25 best…my scenario included diapers. But then they were out at the first store of some other things and so I had to scramble to make the 5/25 work…I ended up paying 23 oop but got the lotion and diaper RR and some others (I got all I was owed, and used mq’s just didn’t do the figuring right in the store) Frustrated I went to the only other Walgreens in my small town who was also out of the razors. This store was awesome!!!!!!!!!! They had an entire endcap with all the free items…Still wish I had seen your post first…. With store #1 and #2 I paid 41 oop – after all RR’s total cost was $17 I did about 15 transactions all together and the Cashier actually helped me figure out which RR’s to use so that I would still get an RR, and actually used the word FILLER when I needed a little more. Also I new which RR’s rolled (herbal essence)…but I blew all my q’s and now that I’ve seen your post I wish I had just one more Sunday paper !
Ashley
I filled out a comment on-line at Walgreens. Yesterday the manager from my local store called me. He did say that you should be able to use a mq and still get the RR. Of course he and I went round and round at first b/c he kept saying you couldn’t use a RR to get another RR. I did ask if I came back in with my coupons that I wasn’t allowed to use if they would take them now and he told me he would try. I think I’ll just wait and see if next weeks ad looks as good.
