Wahoo! I’m super excited because Walgreens has a new 4 day special ad–valid 8/26-8/29! The best part–inside the ad is a $5 off $25 coupon! There is also other sale items and Register Reward deals advertised. You can check out all the details and the ad scan here.

UPDATE: Not only is the $5 off $25 coupon available in the 4 day ad, BUT you can also print the $5 off $25 coupon here.

    Hi Leslie,
    Sorry for the confusion! There will be a 4 day special ad available on 8/26 in-stores. Inside the ad will be a $5 off $25 coupon.

    I am having a little trouble tih Walgreens. Last night the manager told me that I could not use coupons ans still get the RR. I was doing the 4/10 crest toothpaste deal and I had 4 coupons plus I used two filler items so I had 6 items. He told me I could not have the 5RR. I discussed it with him for a while adn finally returend the items and got my coupons back. Then I contacte the customer service and they said they didn’t think I could do that either, she said she knew for sure that I could not pay with RR adn still get RR. So they sent my info. to the RR dept. Am I wrong??? I have been using coupons ans still getting RR’s for a long time. Now I am afradi that maybe it is wrong and they will stop allowing it at all the walgreens in this area. ???Maybe Ishould have left things alone. But I have been doing it for along time.

    Casey & Kimberly I have not had a problem using coupons and RR’s and getting my RR’s. The only time I have a problem is when I accidentially use a RR on the same item I am buying than it won’t print out, but that is my bad, otherwise I don’t have a problem. And most of the time, if my RR’s don’t print I will show the manager the ad and they look to make sure I have the items, then they re-ring them and it prints the RR and then they void the transaction and I am good to go. They have been so friendly lately. I had a great day yesterday, I was at $96 before Q’s and RR’s, then it went down to $29 with $10 back in RR’s. I was very happy.

  6. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I went to Walgreens yesterday trying to do the Mascara deal and they told me because I had 2 items and 2 coupons I could not use my RR from last week too. So then I have to buy something over priced(b/c walgreens is normally overpriced anyway) to be able to use my RR. I was upset and left with my coupons and RR to try at another store. Walgreens is just not my fav store to get deals at I would rather skip the deals. I mean how are you supposed to use your RR then, because I always shop with coupons. Love all you do HIP

  7. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Sarah,
    The RR is considered a coupon and you can’t have more coupons than items when using them. So, you needed a filler, like a bag of m&m’s or something small, then it would work.

    thanks Kristy….I just went and tried at another walgreens and it worked fine. very pleasant people this time guess the night manager last night was in a grumpy mood! Thanks

    hi, just saw poppycock on sale in 4 day ad $1.99 and back to school walgreens coupon book has $1 off and this past sunday had a .75 off so,
    = .24 a bag that is a good treat for the mom to enjoy 🙂

  11. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Here is a tip for people who have trouble using a maunfacturer coupon on a register Reward producing item – keep an eye out for weekly Walgreens ads that show a RR promotion and also have a “Coupon savings in most Sunday papers!” banner on the picture in the ad. I have shown advertisements like those to a few managers when they give me trouble for trying to use a coupon, and they usually go ahead and let me use it when they see that yes, Walgreens advertises that you can use a coupon on the RR item. HTH 🙂

  12. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I was sad because my $1.50 off Kellogs cereal is not good on the ‘flavors’ that are on sale at WalGreens…
    Is still a good deal with the RR, but would have been better with a coupon!

    Also, I didn’t realize this, but you cannot use your RR for milk!
    It says right on there, not for tobacco, alcohol, dairy, ….

    That was a bummer, too!

  13. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I also tried to return a couple of items recently that I had paid for with RR and was told that there was no cash value for the items. It was $20 and he said I could only have $3 which was my OOP amount after my RR. Doesn’t seem right that I should lose them. I took the items back home

  14. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Good to know about the milk! I actually almost ran down last night to get milk there so that I could use my RR and get it free, but then wound up going to the gas station because I had to return a redbox movie…so definitely a good thing to know for future reference.

    For all of those who feel that Walgreen’s does not have great enough deals…I HAVE to disagree. This week already I have spend only $15 out of pocket on $97 worth of items and still have $20 in RR’s to use! I LOVE Walgreen’s. The only thing I dislike is that they are NEVER well stocked for sales and unless I go early Sunday morning (which I do) they are out of everything by the end of the day…very frustrating.

  15. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Just a thought, I don’t actually subscribe to my newspaper so I usually use my extra RR’s to buy my 4 papers, which is $10 a week for me.

  16. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    you can use cvs coupons on milk though. Just thought I would let people know. Can’t remember what those are called right now LOL. EC or something. I haven’t paid for milk in 2 months!!!

  17. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    There will be a friends and family discount coupon for friday if you have any frinds that work at walgreens ask them about it

  18. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Thanks for posting, Collin! This is also a great time to stock up on the monthly RRs that end on Saturday!

  19. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    If my total has to be $25 after coupons, can I still use RR to pay that $25 or do I have to do that out of pocket?

    Stephanie

  20. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I tried to buy the cheez-it crackers with the coupon posted, but the ones on sale do not match the description on the coupon. The coupon is for a larger size and the whole grain version, which they do not carry. Bummer!

  21. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I also am having lots of problems with the Rrewards. Mine have specific minimum purschase amounts now-my $3 one has min. $15 purchase and my $5 one has min. $25 purchase. Tried to use one today with manufacturer’s coupons and 2 extra items which totalled $19 after 2 coupons but register beeped. Manager wasn’t helpful so I will have to try another Walgreens store.

  22. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I LOVE this website! I just got back from a great trip at Walgreens, using Colin’s deal scenario as a ‘starter’. And it helped that my sales assoc. was awesome — I was able to use the $5/$25 BEFORE coupons and combining a few things like the Huggies wipes and Rimmel Mascra ($2.49 after 40% and $2 coupon in Portland stores)still only spent $9.39 for 4 Huggies Wipes, 4 Rimmel mascra, 6 Poppycocks, 2 Reach toothbrushes, 2 Frosted Flakes, Goody headband, 2 Cheez Its, 2 Keebler cookies, 4 Velvetta cups, 3 Listerine Mouthwash, 2 Sudafed! And I got to use my RRs so they don’t expire on me! YAY! Thanks everyone!

  23. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    can you use the $5 RR from last week or will that void the $5 off on the transaction trying to do?

  24. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I ran into walgreens this afternoon to buy the poppycock but it was not marked on sale. When I asked the clerks about the 4 day sale they had no idea what I was talking about. They even asked the manager and he had no idea either! I decided to check another walgreens and again they knew nothing about the sale. I decided to have them scan the poppycock anyway to see if it would come up on sale and it did! I bought six bags!

  25. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I used several of my RRs from previous weeks — as long as it wasn’t for the same product it should work — and as long as you don’t have more coupons than items. I even made three back-to-back purchases to use 3 $5 coupons and was able to use the RRs from the previous purchases on the next one. It was a great day! My family just shakes their heads and laugh and then argues over who gets what! :0

  26. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I’d like to know where these stores get off trying to regulate the use of coupons! They get reimbursed! Not only do they get reimbursed but they also get a handling fee making coupons a money maker for THEM! And remember register rewards are not rewards at all, they are just manufacturers coupons too.

    If these problems persist, i won’t go to Walgreens anymore, their deals are not that great anyway. At CVS I never run into these kinds of problems.

    Another rant not necessarily specific to Wags, why don’t personnel know their stores coupon policies? How can that be? How many stores have we visited that still don’t get that their own corporate policy allows for combining store and manufacturers coupons?

    I was not able to use the $5RR from last week with the $5/$25. I bought Alli 120ct after Q $44.99 and 2 Reach prevent after Q $0.98ended up $45.97, the $5RR worked but the $5/$25 beeped, the manager said I can only use one and suggest me to use the $5/$25 and use the $5RR with no minimun require like $25 purchase. Still cheaper than Walmart anyways.

  28. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    the $5 /$25 coups says it expires 8/8 will it work ? has anyone had a problem using it? plmk mark
