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“
Last week we ended our scenario with a $2 RR from Suave.

I am a bit confused, you are using 3 coupons for only 2 items in transaction #1 and #2. I thought RR counted as a coupon.
yes, RRs count as coupons. It’s manu Qs that count. So we’ve got 2 manu Qs and one Wags in ad Q that doesn’t count. HTH
what is ECB in transaction#2? did you mean RR?
LOL, yes dropofrain, I meant RR
I’m changing that now.
I thought it was the regular Dawn that is on sale for 99 cents. I don’t see the Dawn Hand Renewal listed in the sales ad for 99 cents.
The regular concentrated dawn is the only one pictured, but I’m confident that all of the small bottles will be priced that way. There simply isn’t room in the ad to show all varieties of items that are on sale. Last week there were at least 6 varieties of the Mitchum included in the RR deal but only 2 were pictured. Worst case if the hand renewal isn’t included you can leave it off the scenario and you’ll pay $.24 less OOP.
I appreciate the feedback wnramirez77, there is a minimize option on the far right-the 2 downward pointing arrows. Is it a personal preference or are you getting error messages from it?
thanks for your hard work, but I do not like the tool bar at the bottom. Can I turn it off?
