    our church has a small Samartin budget that we buy gift cards from…we have started to supply recipients with a care bag that has deod, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, paper goods and pet food when appropriate..these hints realy help fill these bags….thanks again and again

  2. Minda

    was at walgreens a bit ago….. nothing but hassle hassle hassle…. i am thinking i wont be going there anymore…. comp prices at walmart and forget register rewards that expire, dont print out or there is some fine print somewhere that screws it all up…..

  3. Bethany

    Pure Silk is AWESOME! It’s made by Barbasol and the owners go to my church. They are constantly giving back to the community including to my favorite organization – Operation Homefront (military support!) So glad they made it in your transactions!

    Would anyone happen to have a pdf copy of the $2.00 Advil coupon? it says I reached me limit, but I only printed out one and it didn’t print correctly…someone help me pleeze!! I just need two coupons that’s it

    • Hip2Saver

      or email it to me, I’m really in need of Advil and this will help so much

    Does anyone know … my Walgreens is 24 hours. Are these deals available at midnight?

    • Kristen

      I think they do but it takes a while for the catalina machine to update so it might not print RR. You can always ask them.

    • tashashayla

      The sale items will ring at midnight, but the RR usually don’t start printing until 6 or 7am.

      • Juddy

        Mine printed just after 2 am 🙂

    I did not get the Suave BOGO coupons in my insert. Did anyone else have the same issue?

    • Ariel Powell

      I didn’t get the BOGO suave coupon either. That is a total bummer… 🙁

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      not in my inserts either

    • Juddy

      I was so disappointed that I didn’t get them. I only got the 50 cent off coupons. I have extremely sensitive skin. My skin constantly dries out and when I scratch I get an allergic reaction. Weird I know but lotion helps so that I don’t need to scratch so this would have been an awesome deal for me. Oh well… Maybe next time. Thanks for all of the other awesome deals.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      I did not get them either and I bought severl papers. Ugh…

    I have never been able to use a rr and then get an rr even being different products. The rrs have been such a Problem i quit the rrs at walgreens! If it was as easy as cvs with no issues it would be worth it but im tired of the rr not printing and the cashiers issue with coupons with rrs

  8. sherry39

    I have a couple extra b1g1 suave lotions i can mail someone tomorrow. I live in AR so according to where you live if it can get there b4 the sale ends i would b happy to mail them. Email me @ sherry_inge@yahoo.com.

    I went to my local Walgreens and got an awesome deal on the thermacare/advil deal. I bought 1 Thermacare and 1 advil on sale then used the $5 coupon and a $3 thermacare coupon found on the same site. The system let me use BOTH!!!!! sweet deal! makes it a 2.00 moneymaker.

  10. Kelly

    My walgreens is a big dissapointment. If you use a coupon on some products they will not give you your register rewards, IE…Thermacare Advil and many other P&G Brands. IT is so frustrating when I see that other States will do this. They have signs posted at the products now stating all restrictions, and besides that the shelves are wipped clean constantly. Im just getting good at putting the deals together and , I love this site but I have wasted alot of planing only to find out the 3 stores in my town refuse to let me do the senerios I see on here.
