Walgreens Rules in a Nutshell:
For a more in depth explanation of these rules, you can read my post “How to Roll With Walgreens“
Last week one scenario ended with $3 in RRs and one scenario ended with $4 (2-$2 RRs) so I’m writing up 2 different scenarios again. This one will start with $6 in RRs. (2- $3 RRs)
My scenario for 96% savings that starts with a $3 RR is here.
My scenario for 98% savings that starts with (2) $2 RRs is here.

Do you have tax where you are? If so, how much? My tax is 8%.
We do have tax in TX, but on very few items that I buy. Most foods and healthcare products are not taxed. Also, we are only taxed on our subtotal after all coupons are applied, so most of my transactions at Wags and CVS have zero tax applied. It was a nice surprise when we moved here from AR.
Gotta love coupons! I think it is great that there are bloggers so dedicated to helping the rest of us save money
Was the balance bar coupon regional? I can’t find it.
Andrea,
It looks like the Balance Q is national. I looked in databases for 4 different regions. There were 2 SS inserts the week of 9/11, but also keep in mind that some newspapers have smaller inserts. Around here, people buy the Dallas newspaper because our local paper has the smaller insert which will be missing Qs.
