I just got back and they did ring up BOGO for me and I got the RRs on the Pure Blend. Just a note- the wags coupon did not work on the mascaras with the bonus eye makeup remover. The cashier suggested picking up the ones without the bonus and it worked just fine.
Nikki
Will Walgreens price-match another store’s sale price like WalMart does?
Marcie
Anyone try this in ILLINOIS? I am sooo excited if this works!
Anna in NC
I bought 3 Lubriderm and got my $8 RR. I also got the Almay one coat mascara with free eye make-up remover. The cashier couldn’t get the coupon to work and called the manager. He told me to get a regular mascara and he scanned that in place of one of the mascara’s with the free eye make-up remover and it worked fine. I left with the 2 mascaras both with free make-up remover! It took $8 off. YAY!!!
Michelle
Marcie yes it worked for me yesterday, I posted about it.
Michelle
worked great here in pittsburgh last night. Thanks!
angie
i tried to buy 2 of the one coat mascaras twice yesterday. first time, she scanned both items and then the $4 coupon which took off $8. but then she totalled it and both had rang up full price. i had her take them off and on the next transaction i gave her two of the mascaras and had her total it before i gave her the $4 coupon. this time they did ring up at bogo half off. i had to add something else before it would take the $4 coupon as my total was under $8. i think some individual walgreen stores have fixed this in their system because when they had the huggies wipes deal, the coupon rang up for $2 at all stores i went to but not one.
Tracie Merritt
Our Walgreens in SC are giving the BOGO on the Almay. I scored big because I found 2for1 pkgs. in with the Christmas specials so I got 4 mascaras FREE!!! THANKS!!!
Julie
Went to Walgreens yesterday and purchased the foundation and the one coat mascara that had a free eye makeup remover. They did ring up BOGO free. I also used the $4 off coupon which didn’t scan right so the cashier just over rided it. So I paid $6 and tax and got the $10 RR but didn’t get the $5 RR. So I purchased one more foundation and a regular one coat mascara and used another $4 coupon I bought about $6 in fillers and used the $10 RR and paid about $2 but I didn’t get a second $10 RR.
Tara Kuczykowski
Julie, you didn’t get another RR because you can’t roll register rewards on the same type of deal that you earned them on. In the future it helps to alternate deals from different manufacturers if you want to roll them.
Kari
I’m new to Walgreens coupon shopping (and all coupon shopping really) and tried the Almay deal last night. I got one pure blends foundation and one eye shadow (9.99 and 7.99). They came out B1G1 1/2 off, not B1GO, but I was still thrilled since I got both RRs. My question is if I got back tonight can I purchase a pure blends eye shadow and a lip gloss (or a mascara and shadow etc.) and get $5 rewards for each, or does this deal only work when you buy a foundation and another product? Oh and I got the 8RR for the Lubriderm lotion too (but the lotions rang up as $4.29 regular price instead of 3.79 as some people were getting). Thanks all, I just found this blog and I’m already saving so much:)
Tara Kuczykowski
Kari, you can only earn RRs for a deal once per transaction, so your best bet is the foundation and eye shadow. And you won’t earn anything if you use the RRs that you earned doing the transaction the first time since it would be for the same deal.
You might want to read over the Walgreens 101 post if you haven’t already.

Hope that helps!
Maya Andrews
I bought 2 pure blends foundations and received $10 RR. How are you able to receive $10 AND $5 RR? Is it a separate promotion to buy eye shadow or lip gloss ect?
(Mine did ring up B1G1, I’m in Western MA)
Shannon
Maya – as Tara said in the above post, you can only get 1 RR for each promotion per transaction. So if you buy 2 of the foundations you won’t get 2 RR’s, just 1. That’s why the suggested deal is to buy 1 foundation and 1 of the eyeshadows, etc. that are printing 5RR’s. You can also buy all of these things on the same transaction (2 mascaras, 1 foundation, 1 eyeshadow) and it will take care of the extra $ you need for the mascara. The total will come out to about $9 and you’ll get 15 RR’s back. Yay!
Even if they get the registers fixed this will still be a money maker for the foundation/eyeshadow deal this week – +$1.50!
I did this deal several times and it came out B1G1 every time at 3 different stores. Now I’m having trouble finding things to use my 10 RR’s on! Off to buy some Wal-itin-D! ;)
Tara Kuczykowski
Yes, Maya, you have to purchase the items per the scenario in the post. Two foundations will only generate $10 in RRs because you can only earn RRs on one like offer in a single transaction.
Brooklyn
I have the same question as Kari. If I purchase a pure blends eye shadow full price (7.99) and a pure blends lip gloss half price (3.50) and pay in cash will I get a $5RR for each ($10RR total)? They are different items with different bar codes right? Or do I have to buy a foundation somewhere in the mix to get the deal?
Tara Kuczykowski
Brooklyn, that won’t work. You have to purchase the items as laid out in the scenario to earn RRs on both of them. You’d only earn $5 RRs based on your scenario because both items are part of the same deal.
AC
I have good and bad news for anyone in my area (Burlington, IA)
The first walgreens I went to was only giving the 50% off as of Sunday. So I went to the other Walgreens Monday night and bought few items and that one was doing the BOGO free Almay. So I went back today to get more and THEY FIXED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. The store that was ringing it up as BOGO Free is now ringing up as BOGO50%. So maybe they have yet to fix it in your areas but I would definitely ASK FIRST before you get too far into the transaction about how that 2nd one rings up.
laurie
Just wanted to share: I’ve done this deal successfully 4 times at 2 different stores, and tonight went to a 3rd store for one more round, and it did NOT work. I am now a believer that it’s varying from store to store. No idea why, but it is. And I owe most of you an appology, b/c secretly I was thinking “they just didn’t do it right/ must have bought the wrong products.” So, “sorry y’all!”
All store locations were within the same city (so it’s not a “regional” thing), and I bought the EXACT same items (I’m 100%+), but it did not ring up BOGO free- it was BOGO 50%. So, clearly, what is working @ one store is not at the next! Beware.
Holly
I tried this tonight in Green Bay WI at the two East Mason stores. Unfortunately, I realized too late that it was ringing correctly at b1g1 50% off. I did better at the second store, however, and got the foundation and the eye shadow for a slight moneymaker.
Did the Lubriderm deal at both places, MM at first store because I had all 4 Qs. Only two computers, so the second store just had one MQ left, and used the Wags Q. Still free, so a great deal! Can we update the deal so ppl don’t lose out now that the BOGO is no longer nationwide?
Heather
Did the Almay Pure Blends deal yesterday and earned $15 in RRs.
Today
Transaction 1:
Three Lubriderms, 2 Rolaids, and 4 pencil pouches (I needed pouches to organize my coupons better!)
Total after my $15 RR’s from yesterday was 31 cents.
I earned another $13 in RR’s.
Transaction 2:
Pure Blends Foundation, Pure Blends Lipgloss and an anniversary card
Used the 13 RR’s I just earned and paid 73 cents OOP.
Earned another 15RR’s. I love Walgreens!
Shannon
Heather – you did GREAT! One question tho – where did you get the other 5RRs in the Lubriderm transaction? I can’t find anything about the Rolaids on DSM or in the Walgreens ad. TIA!
Jennifer
*****Has anyone tried this in the Houston Texas area?*****
Shannon
I just came back from Walgreens in Beloit, WI and this deal is still working. If you’re not sure it’s working at your store you can always buy do the foundation/lipgloss deal and ask how it rang up (BOGO or BOGO 50%). If it’s BOGO add in the mascara too. If not, you’re still getting a money maker with the other two products.
I also found the Rolaids deal – they are $4.49 and when you buy two you get 5RR. There is a $4/2 coupon (I think in the 10/4SS) so that makes these free. I didn’t see this in the Walgreens ad so I don’t know where Heather found it but it’s a great deal! :)
Heather
I found out about the Rolaids deal at Slick Deals. They have a list of the monthly RRs there. My $13 was $8 from Lubriderm and $5 from Rolaids.
Julie
Wow this walgreen deal with the almay is weird. I bought the foundation and an pure blend eyeshadow and 2 one coat mascara last night and they were BOGO and got the $15 in RR. Then today I went to another store in my town and was going to do the same deal but there store rang up BOGO 50%. I was sad. But I bought it anyways. I live in Apple Valley, CA. SO weird.
anne
BOGO is still available in Colorado. Did this twice today at different locations.
1 pure blends foundation 9.99
1 pure blends eye shadow 7.99. (FREE with Bogo)
1 one coat mascaras 7.99
1 one coat mascaras 7.99 (FREE with Bogo)
then took of 8 from Nov Wags rebate book for the one coat’s
Got my 10 RR and 5RR – so OOP all I paid was for the foundation -which I covered with RR from last weeks. THANKS for all the info on this deal:)
Kiddie
I tried to do this deal twice and both times my total after coupon was $5.04. Why???
The first time I bought (2) Almay One Coat mascara at $7.99 each,
used (1) $4/1 Wags coupon. The register took of $8. my total was $3.98 , after tax $5.04
The second time, I bought (2) bonus packs of Almay One Coat mascara at $7.99
used (1) $4/1 Wags coupon. The register took of $8. my total was $3.98 , after tax $5.04
I think the stores in NYC has them for BOGO 1/2.
Can anyone offer some help?
Is their a way to know before purchasing, whether an item is BOGO free or BOGO 1/2?
Gloria
Looks like they’ve fixed the B1G1F to B1G1 50%. Bummer!!!
Stephanie
I was just at a Walgreens near me (Chicago) and they’re still BOGO. The cashier didn’t know about it either and after she rang me up she took her break so she could partake in the deal too. :o) This is what I did:

Pure Blends eyeshadow $7.99 (free after BOGO)
One Coat mascara $7.49
One Coat mascara $7.49 (free after BOGO)
=$17.98
-$4/1 mascara (from Nov. booklet) took $8 off total
=$9.98 + tax
Received $15 in rr’s
