Reader “Coupon Virgin” asked for a scenario to stock up on Always, Method, AirWick, Tena, and Plackers.
She is starting this week with (9) $4 RRs and (2) $3 RRs. This is a personalized scenario using the coupons that she has available to her.
You can view my original post to get most of this weeks sale items ($78.47 for $2.51 OOP) here.
Before beginning this scenario I would like to reiterate that I personally only do 2 transactions per store per visit. Sometimes I’ll go to all 3 stores in a row, or I may go to the same store in the morning, and then in the afternoon or the next day. I do this because I think it is courtesy to let others have an opportunity to get the same deals. This reader is savvy and would be buying these products whether or not I wrote up a scenario for her. As a blogging friend of mine would say “What she does with it is between her and her maker.”

Roll Between Transactions 7 and 8 till you’re done. I sure hope you have a lot of stores close by, because the ones in my area probably already have their shelves cleared of Tena, Reach, and Plackers. Good luck to you and remember to leave some for your neighbors 
I went to the Walgreens on Erwin & the Loop and 5th and Broadway…both were out of Reach. The 5th & Broadway had a FEW plackers left.
I’ve only found one lonely Crystal Clean brush at the Rieck store. Lots of Plackers at Troup/Loop and Rieck. It helps that they aren’t marked with the RR tag! Hoping the Reach won’t be like the Motrin PM and out of stock for weeks…
