FAQS:

Do you do multiple transactions at one store on one visit?
It just depends. Several stores in my area have gone to a “one RR per item per day” rule, which means I can’t do more than one transaction where I’m earning RR for the same product at the same store. I’m fortunate to have several stores within a few minutes of my house, so I usually try to break up transactions at different stores and on different days to stay in the good graces of my stores.

Some helpful tips:
*At Walgreens, you can use ONE manufacturer’s coupon and ONE store coupon per item

*At Walgreens, you cannot do a promotion more than once in a transaction and earn Register Rewards. (for example, if you buy 2 Old Spice/Gillette body washes this week, you will only earn a RR for one)

*You also typically cannot use the Register Rewards earned from a promotion on the same promotion and earn Register Rewards again. For example, if you buy the Old Spice/Gillette and use the RR from that to buy more, the RR will not print

*Register Rewards are considered to be “manufacturer’s coupons” and you can only use one manufacturer’s coupon per item. You will have to add “filler” items. The in ad coupons often have good, inexpensive filler items. (check out the weekly match-ups for ideas)

*If you are using more than one RR in a transaction, always give the RR with the highest value FIRST. Sometimes strange things happen with coupons and taxes and even if you think you have planned out your scenario very well, you will end up with more overage than you planned for.

*If you are buying items that would result in a “free” item or “overage” when combining a store coupon and a manufacturer’s coupon, give the manufacturer’s coupon FIRST, and the store coupons LAST to avoid beeping/issues at the register! Make sure that you are purchasing enough items in your total transaction to “cover” the overage. You will not get cash back and you will have to add items to cover the overage or they will not take the coupon.

*If your Register Reward doesn’t print for some reason and you have fulfilled all of the obligations for the “deal” (including not using RR from the same parent company to pay) DO NOT let them tell you it is because you used coupons! Chances are they didn’t print because the catalina machine is not working. You have two choices: you can return your items and try again or you can contact the catalina company by doing the following:
*The store will give you a form to fill out and mail in to catalina
*Call 1-877-210-1917, option 1

MORE Walgreens deals?!

I can’t believe what an awesome week it is at Walgreens and it just keeps getting better!  Make sure you check out my weekly deals post so you don’t miss out on the other great deals this week!

If you need to stock up on cards for Father’s Day, graduations, weddings, or birthdays, there is an unadvertised deal that is perfect for you:

Buy 3 Hallmark cards, get a $2 RR
Buy 5 Hallmark cards, get a $4 RR

Some stores have cards that are priced at just $.49!  If you can find these cards (I could never find them at any of my stores the last time they had this deal), this is a moneymaker for you.  Even if you can’t find the $.49 cards, there are a lot of cards priced at $.99, so it still ends up being a good deal!

Here’s the breakdown:
Buy 5 Hallmark Cards – $.49/each

Spend $2.45, get a $4 RR
Final Price = $1.55 moneymaker!

Buy 5 Hallmark cards – $.99/each

Spend $4.95, get a $4 RR
Final Price = $.95 ($.19/card!)

(Thanks Savvy Spending!)

Yesterday, I posted about the trial sized Neutrogena items that are only $.79 and are working for the buy 3, get a $10 RR deal.  Smart ~N Savvy Savings posted this picture on her blog, so you know what you’re looking for!

There is also a $10 Neutrogena Mail in Rebate when you purchase $30 of Neutrogena facial moisturizers and teratments.  I don’t know if all of these products will qualify for the rebate or not, but if you’ve got the receipts, it’s worth sending them in to find out!  Purchases must be made between 6/6/10 and 7/4/10 and submitted by 7/18/10.

Mail your original receipt, dated between 5/21 – 6/17/10 with the Listerine Whitening or Rembrandt product and proof of purchase circled along with your name and address to: Dare to Wear Gift / PO Box 4938 / NY NY 10185.

Some helpful tips:
*At Walgreens, you can use ONE manufacturer’s coupon and ONE store coupon per item

*At Walgreens, you cannot do a promotion more than once in a transaction and earn Register Rewards. (for example, if you buy 6 Neutrogena bars, you will only earn RR for the first 3)

*You also typically cannot use the Register Rewards earned from a promotion on the same promotion and earn Register Rewards again. For example, if you buy the Neutrogena and use the RR from that to buy another one, your RR will not print.  (*the exception to this so far this week is the Gillette razors)

*Register Rewards are considered to be “manufacturer’s coupons” and you can only use one manufacturer’s coupon per item. You will have to add “filler” items. The in ad coupons often have good, inexpensive filler items. (there are LOTS of great filler items this week – check out the weekly match-ups for ideas)

*If you are using more than one RR in a transaction, always give the RR with the highest value FIRST. Sometimes strange things happen with coupons and taxes and even if you think you have planned out your scenario very well, you will end up with more overage than you planned for.

*If you are buying items that would result in a “free” item or “overage” when combining a store coupon and a manufacturer’s coupon, give the manufacturer’s coupon FIRST, and the store coupons LAST to avoid beeping/issues at the register! Make sure that you are purchasing enough items in your total transaction to “cover” the overage. You will not get cash back and you will have to add items to cover the overage or they will not take the coupon.

*If your Register Reward doesn’t print for some reason and you have fulfilled all of the obligations for the “deal” (including not using RR from the same parent company to pay) DO NOT let them tell you it is because you used coupons! Chances are they didn’t print because the catalina machine is not working. You have two choices: you can return your items and try again or you can contact the catalina company by doing the following:
*The store will give you a form to fill out and mail in to catalina
*Call 1-888-8coupon, option 3
*Use the online form to contact them: Contact Catalina Marketing (when I have tried contacting them this way, my results have not been very good….your best bet is to call)
