Here are some ideas for “rolling” your RR from last week:

If you have the $8 Complete RR:
Buy 2 Theraflu – 2/$10
Buy 2 Triaminic – 2/$10
Buy 5 Nabisco – 2/$4
Buy 1 M&Ms Premium – $2.49

Follow the Theraflu and Triaminic scenarios listed above
Use 5 $1 Nabisco coupons
Use $1/2 Nabisco coupon from Diabetes booklet (will deduct $2)

Use $8 Complete RR

Spend $.49 OOP, get a $3 RR (Theraflu), a $5 RR (Triaminic), a $3 RR (Nabisco), and a $.50 RR (M&Ms)

If you have the $5 Zooth RR: buy the Theraflu, Triaminic, and Nabisco using the scenario above. You will also need a filler item. You will pay about $1 OOP and get a $5 RR (Triaminic), $3 RR (Theraflu), and $3 RR (Nabisco)

If you have the $4 Fusion RR Follow the Nabisco and Theraflu scenarios above. You will also need a ‘filler’ item. You will only pay for the filler and you will get 2 $3 RRs back

Some helpful tips:
*At Walgreens, you cannot do a promotion more than once in a transaction and earn Register Rewards.

*You also typically cannot use the Register Rewards earned from a promotion on the same promotion and earn Register Rewards again. For example, if you buy Theraflu and use the RR you earned from buying Theraflu to buy more Theraflu, another RR will not print.

*Typically, you cannot use the Register Rewards earned from a promotion with the same manufacturer and earn Register Rewards again. (all of the manufacturers are listed next to the deal in the coupon match-ups)

*Register Rewards are considered to be “manufacturer’s coupons” and you can only use one manufacturer’s coupon per item. You will have to add “filler” items. The in ad coupons often have good, inexpensive filler items. (there are LOTS of great filler items this week – check out the weekly match-ups for ideas)

*If you are using more than one RR in a transaction, always give the RR with the highest value FIRST. Sometimes strange things happen with coupons and taxes and even if you think you have planned out your scenario very well, you will end up with more overage than you planned for.

*If you are buying items that would result in a “free” item or “overage” when combining a store coupon and a manufacturer’s coupon, give the manufacturer’s coupon FIRST, and the store coupons LAST to avoid beeping/issues at the register! Make sure that you are purchasing enough items in your total transaction to “cover” the overage. You will not get cash back and you will have to add items to cover the overage or they will not take the coupon.

*If your Register Reward doesn’t print for some reason and you have fulfilled all of the obligations for the “deal” (including not using RR from the same parent company to pay) DO NOT let them tell you it is because you used coupons! Chances are they didn’t print because the catalina machine is not working. You have two choices: you can return your items and try again or you can contact the catalina company by doing the following:
*The store will give you a form to fill out and mail in to catalina
*Call 1-888-8coupon, option 3
*Use the online form to contact them: Contact Catalina Marketing (when I have tried contacting them this way, my results have not been very good….your best bet is to call)
