HI
Just recently started reading your site and I love it. Today I did my very first $5 Walgreen challenge. It went okay but I know next week how to be better prepared. I was wondering which Nivea coupon you used for the shower gel. The only one I could find said it had to be 16oz I believe and the shower gel that is on the RR is only 8.5. Thank you for all you do!!
Blessings

I noticed a problem with the Nivea coupon and also, my Walgreens (in Murfreesboro) told me if you use a RR to purchase an item that qualifies for RR, you won’t get the second one after purchase…so how are you getting yours to print?

They are no correct. I just went yesterday and used the Thermacarre RR to buy the Nivea and my RR printed. I am not sure why they told you that. Also, you are correct, you can’t use the bodywash coupon, but there is a shower gel coupon. Check on the display. There were several coupons in a little folded booklet in a slot on the display. Also, a nice walgreens employee offered to give me a coupon if I did not have one.
