At my store, buying the Kotex is causing a Catalina to print for free Always pads. (Up to 3.50.) I also got a $4.50 off any Cover Girl Blast product as well.

Oops! I forgot to change the title after linking up my CVS scenarios a few minutes ago. This one links to my Walgreens transactions, I promise! Thanks for the linkup!

I have a question. Is there somewhere I can find information about using RR at Walgreen’s. There are times when I go to use my RR’s and the computer will not take them if I’m getting other items that end up being free with coupons. How do I figure this out? It’s confusing.
Thanks,
Georgene

@Georgene, Hi Georgene! You are so right, Walgreens is confusing. I am working on a tutorial here on my site, but in the meantime, here are 2 others I recommend reading:

I’m linking up really late, but I really didn’t do much other than buy the candy for the RR.
