Walgreens Beginner’s Level Scenario 9/18 89% savings

This post may contain affiliate links.

Walgreens Rules in a Nutshell: 

You may only do each deal once per transaction.
You cannot use the RR from one deal to pay for the same deal if you want to get another RR.
You may not use more manu Qs (including RRs) than the number of items in your transaction. 
A RR cannot pay tax and it’s value will not be reduced.  

For a more in depth explanation of these rules, you can read my post “How to Roll With Walgreens

We ended our scenario last week with no RRs because I hadn’t intended on
shopping this week.  But then the double Gain RR and the Crest Complete moneymaker were both discovered.  I’m sure most of you have a $3 RR from from one of those, so we’ll start
our scenario this week there.

Transaction 1
1 Hyland’s @ 4.99
use $3 RR from last week
pay: $1.99, get $5 RR


Transaction 2
Tom’s of Maine @ 3.99
1 Blistex @ 2
1 Royal Gelatin @ .59
subtotal: $6.58
use $1/1 Tom’s from 9/18 SS
use in ad Q for Royal (takes off $.39)
use $5 RR from T1
new total: $.19, get $2 RR and $2 RR


Transaction 3
1 Gain laundry powder @ 5 using the raincheck I encouraged you to get Friday (otherwise it will be $7.99)
2 Gain Dish Soap @ 3.38
2 royal gelatin @ 1.00
subtotal: $9.38
use $2/1 Gain powder from 9/11 SS
use (2) $.50/1 or a $1/2 gain dish from 8/14 RP
use in ad Q for dish soap (takes off $1.40)
use in ad Q for royal (takes off $.60)
use both $2 RRs from T2
new total: $.38, get $3 RR

Totals: $23.94 at sale prices for $2.57 OOP – a savings of 89%.  Start and end with $3 in RRs.
