As of right now, I have only done CVS ECB deals and other deals I have found at CVS. Holly and I go every Sunday to load up on our CVS deals (I call it CVS Sunday haha). Now, I am going tomorrow to start register rewards at Walgreens. I have never done this, so it’ll be a new experience.
First, I have to comment on our CVS trip today. I was VERY disappointed. I had my daughter with me, so it was hard to shop anyways. Next, there happened to be NOTHING at 2 CVS stores that we went to. They get their shipment tomorrow, so I am going to try again on Tuesday when they have all of the deals out. I walked away with one toothpaste. haha Don’t ask. So, I have learned my lesson to NEVER go to CVS (at least here anyways) one of the first days of a month because they are not organized.
Secondly, I am going to discuss my register rewards deal that I am thinking of doing. I am getting 3 Pepsi 12packs because my husband drinks them and we buy them anyway. I am also getting 4 soap bar bundles (2 Zest and 2 Olay). I am going to have to do 3 transactions. Here they are: (keep in mind that I am just beginning, so I will have to spend money out of my pocket to get started.)
Transaction 1:
3 Pepsi 12-packs 3/$10 with $2 RR (register rewards)
Transaction 2:
2 Zest bar bundles 2/$4
spend the $2 RR from Transaction 1
use 2 of the $1/1 bar bundle coupons = FREE (only pay tax)
get $4 RR
Transaction 3:
2 Olay bar bundles 2/$4
spend $4 RR from Transaction 2
use 1 of the $1/2 coupons = FREE plus overage!
Throw in something for $1 b/c of overage
get $4 RR
So, for a register rewards newbie…if any of you are good with it, will you let me know if my deal won’t work for some reason?

If I understand the soap deal you can not use the RR from deal 2 on Deal #3. If you do use the RR from soap on Deal #3 it will not print a new RR. You can not use RR on the same type of RR. The coke one can be used for soap. Not soap for soap. I think I am right. I’d love to know if I am wrong. Did I make sense?
I bought olay today and used 2 $2 coupons and got it free. I then got $4 RR. Profit $4
I went back and got 2 4 packs of Ivory and used 2 25 cent coupons and got $4 RR. OOP $3.50 Profit .50
Now I have 2 $4 RR to use on something else. Of course you can use the coke deal on one of your soap. I hope I made sense.

Evelyn,
Thank you SO much! I thought I had read that somewhere. I will definitely re-work my deal now. I read that you can buy the trial Pantene (1.7 oz.) and get the $12 RR. I am going to try to work that in. Thanks so much!

Glad you are trying out Walgreens, I prefer it to CVS. CVS card/reward system always confused me!!
I like the SuperSavers at Walgreens and am interested to see how their register rewards work.
