Here’s the 4/15 Walgreens scenario, as best I can come up with at the present time. You are basically doing transaction 2 and 3 back and forth, using the previous Register Rewards, as many times as you have coupons.
1) Nasal Ease is $9 with a $9 RR. Use the $5 coupon from 3/11 rp. Pay $4 and get $9 RR.
2) Similasan is $6 with a $6 RR. No coupon.
Colgate Sensitive toothpaste is $3.99 with a $2 RR. Use the $1 coupon from 4/15.
Pay $8.99 using the $9 Nasal Ease which will be marked down the penny (as per corporate coupon rules). Get $6 RR and $2 RR.
3) Nasal Ease $9 less the $5 coupon.
Pepsi Next 20 oz is on sale for .99 with a .99 Register Reward.
Purex Ultrapacks are BOGO at $5.99. Use two of the $1 coupons from 3/11 rp.
Your subtotal will be $8.99. Pay using the two RRs from No. 2 and a cheap filler added for the second RR to attach to. Get back .99 from Pepsi and $9 for Nasal Ease. You can always throw in the hair accessories for $1.99 with a $1 RR as a filler.
Rinse and repeat. Coupons for the Nasal Ease are selling for .25 each with a 50 coupon limit on WeclipUSave. Purex coupons are .07; make sure to order the Ultra coupons, not the regular liquid coupons for a nickel. I wouldn’t put off ordering (either through weclip or through Dede or eBay) because the prices are going to shoot up as the supplies dwindle. You can always check status by clicking the ads for either on the right side bar.
Similasan Nasal Allergy…there is one coupon.
$1.50/1 Similasan Product from the April All You
This is complicated, I’ll have to read it closer later, but I only have 1 coupon from 3/11, so what will/won’t I be able to do?
You should order more coupons immediately, before they get sold out. Other than that, you are limited to one transaction and you’ll be putting out cash upfront and earning the RR. We will be rolling them back and forth, but for that you need sufficient quantities of coupons for each roll. Read the scenarios over and over until it makes sense.
I’m wondering why 2 and 3 are necessary at all. Why not just do the first one over and over? I don’t see where any more money can be made, just if you need the items in 2 and 3.
Also, should I order 50 of these coupons? I want to, but will there be enough of the product at Walgreens? Should I call them and special order?
The whole point of rolling, Justin, is that you don’t put out cash for the purchase, you pay using the prior transaction’s RR. If you want to run the first transaction over and over, go for it, but then you’ll be out $4 for each transaction AND end up with a buttload of RRs to burn!
Absolutely place a special order. If you’re only buying a few of them, you should have any problems at most Wags, but for sizable quantities? always place the specials.
Ya I don’t care about putting money out there so long as I get it back and then some. It really doesn’t matter. Think of it this way, how much more work will I and the cashier have to do to roll them? 2-3x more?
And correct me if I’m wrong, but the reason why you have to roll them like you described above is because you can’t use RRs on the same item, right? Thus why item A’s RRs are used on item B, so you can then use the RRs from B to start the cycle over again. Otherwise you’d just use the RRs from the Nasal Ease on itself over and over, right?
Thank you for doing this, I for one really appreciate it!
