I’m having problems with my Walgreens. Last time I did the 5 dollar challenge, and tried to use my RR on the shampoo, the cashier sd I couldn’t not use my RR rewards on the same purchase–I was doing them in separate transactions. I was also supposed to get more RR rewards when I purchased the shampoo and again the cashier didn’t give them to me she sd that since I used RR with the purchase they wouldn’t print out. I was so mad that I refuse to shop there now. I love your site though and looking at all the other great deals that I can get.
I was wondering how you do your rolling…do you say you have 3 transactions, or do you go out and come back in 3 times. I usually roll my RRs from one week to another, but it seems I always have anywhere from $1 to $15 OOP. I’d like to try to get that down under $5, but I’m always afraid they’ll say I can’t use the RR from trans 1 on trans 2, like Michelle said.
I went to Walgreens yesterday and came upon a nice deal. The Biore products were buy 2, get a $5 RR. I used the coupon for Biore B1 pore strips G1 cleanser, so I spent $7.49 for the two… but have $5 for the next trip! I can’t remember where the Biore coupon came from, sorry!
