Not a heck of a lot going on this week at Walgreens, so I’ve been playing a little rolling action:  Buy the Schiff Digestive Advantage IBS 32 ct for $8.  Using my 15% library card discount ($6.80) and 5,000 in points, I spent $2.02 and got an $8 RR.  I took the $8 RR and bought the Bayer contour next USB meter for $10 ($8.50 after library card; shelf price of $32.99), paying 50¢ and low tax, earning 10,000 points.  So far I’m at 112,450 points.  It’s not that high a number, but I use this card to roll back and forth with RRs, so I don’t see the point of running up your totals…it’s not like you get a Pontiac convertible or a trophy when you hit a million…

This week Walgreens has Nivea for Men at 2/$7 with a $2 RR when you buy two.  Use the $3 and BOGO coupons from the Nivea for Men Facebook page and you’ll walk out with nice face stuff and a $2 RR to boot!  You can print both coupons twice, once you Like them.  I ran this twice using the coupons and my library card 15% discount – paid only tax for both transactions (they had to reduce the coupon values!) and got two $2 RRs for my trouble!

Speaking of Like versus like, I’m starting to feel like the red-headed stepchild of the blogging world, ’cause I don’t push Facebook as hard as most bloggers.  So please, Like me on Facebook, even if you hate me in real life, ’cause otherwise the newbie blogs snigger…

IT WORKS!  I just picked up 20 bottles of Head & Shoulders – all varieties – and this is how it worked:

Each first bottle rang up at $4.49 and the second one was $2.24.  The cashier scanned the BOGO after each set of two bottles.  Coupon took off $4.49, so each set of two was $2.24.  This has a shelf tag of $6.29 at my location.

Head and Shoulders is currently on sale at Walgreens for between $3.99 and $4.49 as an August monthly deal.  Next week’s sale has them for BOGO 50%.  There is a BOGO coupon in the 8/4 rp2 which expires today, August 31.

I’ve tried it all ways and this is definitely a ymmv situation:  The coupon value goes up to $6.99, but I can’t be certain of how the register will read it until after early activation.  One thing I do know is that you cannot have the cashier run multiples (example:  8 x 1 bottle), but instead they must scan each and every bottle.
