Finally, a deal to use up the BOGO Clairol Nice ‘n Easy coupons that are expiring … TODAY! My original transactions (as shown) were one Nice ‘n Easy hair color and one root touch-up, plus 3 Colgate Enamel Health toothbrushes and toothpastes. Once again my local Walgreens are participating in the September Library Card promotion, which means an extra 15% off my purchase. Sadly, I hadn’t even stopped in Walgreens to even pick up the September IVC before today! But today more than made up for that lapse.  I used the BOGO Clairol coupon from the September P&G insert along with the few $2 Clairol coupons from 8/10S and 8/24S, together with the $2 Colgate coupons (limit 4 like coupons per transaction) from 9/14S.  The Sensitive toothbrushes and the only ones that ring at $3.49, the others are higher.  Each set of three generates 3,000 points, my total was over $25 so I earned an additional 5,000 points and my two hair products earned s $4 RR.   OOP with all coupons was $10.95 – I earned 11,000 points and $4RR for each.

By running all your toothpaste/hair color transactions first, you’ll score enough points to run the Clairol deal by itself and pay with your points.  I ran through all my remaining Clairol BOGO coupons and, since it wasn’t a points deal, paid with 5,000 points and 84¢ – and got back $4 RR.

If you are not blessed with the 15% library promotion discount, you can run this deal with 3 Colgate products and the Clairol plus a filler (or grab the more expensive toothbrushes).  I also picked up “a few” bags of M&Ms, using the $1 IVC coupon and the $1.50/2 from 8/10 rp.  Or you could just ignore the 5,000 points and run sets of 2 hair color/root touch-ups.  You’ll pay $5.99 plus tax and get back a $4RR.

Had some $4 RRs expiring today – nothing in the past two weeks to bother with, especially with all the register issues lately.  Lately being defined as anytime within the past five years.  Remember when deals were so smoking we were popping Estroven for the hot flashes?  Or was that only me?

I picked up these Depends for Men – “for Drips and Dribbles” – on the clearance end cap for $3.99. Threw in a baby body wash marked down to $2.99 since I had a new $2 RR I figured on dumping, too.  Get this – – all the RRs went through without a hitch! Seriously, I was going to be so done with Walgreens but now what to do?

Target was the same old same old in that I got Paper Mate pens but there was no Suave lotion at the Woodridge location (grabbed some earlier at the Rte 59 store), but they did have lots of Juicyfruit gum in the bottles.

Walgreens has 42 ct Cottonelle flushable wipes on sale for $1.99 plus there’s a $2 RR when you buy two.  Use the 50¢ coupon in 8/10 S plus a $1 IVC in the August book.  Pay about a buck and get $2.  Note that the IVC does NOT scan – the large, pop-up wipes are pictured, but the wording clearly specifies The Cottonelle Rresh Care flushable cleansing cloths 42 ct size.  If your store won’t push through the IVC, you’ll pay 49¢ each after the RR.

So many people out there claiming that the new wording on Register Rewards means that you can’t use these coupons on items of a value less than the face value of said RR. Falderal and balderdash I say!!  I bought four packs of Lays potato chips for $1.49 (did not use my card) and paid with a $4 RR.  First screen shot is of the four items with $4 coupon scan and the second shows the date and time.

Please – you know that a coupon-unfriendly clerk will use any and all excuses to explain why you didn’t get a Register Reward or why the coupons you are trying to use won’t work.

Ran this twice and will run it again at least once more before Wednesday. Picked up six Almay makeup removers at $6.49 each, B1G1 50% off. Used six $4 Almay coupons from 8/10 S and paid $7.31 ($2.12 was high tax). Each transaction earned me 6,450 points (5,000 3-day bonus on a $25 purchase and 1450 for the beauty club – I think).

Saw this on another site, but naturally had to personally test it. Good thing, too, because it did not work os posted. Walgreens has a points deal on L’Oreal Advanced products – Buy 2 and earn 2,000 points. You also get 50 points for every $1 spent on beauty and personal care through 8//30 (have them scan the coupon in the ad). There is also a RR promotion where you get a $1.50 RR when you buy two products or $3 RR when you buy three. You know which direction this post is going, right?

Note that the RR only prints when you purchase shampoo and/or conditioner, not all haircare products.  Trust me on this…lots of void transactions doing test runs.

Use the coupons in 7/27 rp (Chicago had Nesquik on the cover) and you’ll be scoring some really cheap products after RR and points.  How cheap depends on your coupons.

Use the $5 off any H2O product in the August IVC at Walgreens and you’ll have some mighty cheap travel sizes! They even have the products tagged with the XX price – $5 coupon = XX price…except in the case of the travel sizes, the XX price was blank! Works for me.
