Walgreens Thanksgiving sales

Finally! Sorry for the delay in getting this up. I've been doing some recon to try to figure out if certain q's work for certain deals. :)

I will be at Walgreens at 9am when the doors open to get my deals, then head over to Rite Aid. :) Then I will have the rest of the day to spend with my family and be thankful.

**Please remember the Rules of Walgreens:
1. You can only get one rr for a deal per transaction. If you buy two Nivea shave gels, you will only get one rr.
2. If you use an rr from a deal to pay for another of the exact same deal, you will not get a new rr. (Buying a Nivea shave gel, and using your $2.50rr from your first Nivea purchase will result in you NOT getting a new rr printed)
3. Manufacturer coupons cannot outnumber items. (RR's are considered manufacturer coupons, that's why there are gift bags on these transactions- it's the cheapest fill this week) Walgreens coupons do not count against your coupon total.

Here's the BEST deals (in my humble opinion)

  1. Forgive me if this sounds stupid... this is my first foray into Walgreens' RR deals. If Walgreens q's don't count as MQ's, why do you need the gift bag in #2... since you have the Tufs? And I've scanned my ad over and over and I swan, there's no gift bag in there.

    OH! Is the gift bag to avoid an overage?

    One other question, if you don't mind...
    Is it more logical to start out with the lowest priced item and work your way up? I'm sure I could get out my calculator and figure this out, but I don't do mornings. 8-}

    Thanks ever so for all the wonderful information you're sharing! And may GOD bless!

  2. Sophie- Welcome! In Scenario 2, Transaction 2, I added the gift bag because my total was only $2.48 after coupons. Your total must exceed the amount of the rr or you can't use it. It will not cover any tax. (so it'll beep). You have to have a higher total than the rr you want to use.

    If you're just starting out, I would start with the lowest priced atem (after coupon) and roll them. That is how I based my transactions in Scenario 2. It's less oop that way.

    Hope this helps you out!!!
