My Walgreens trip

First off there are a few things you need to know before couponing at Wags (Walgreens). 

1. Customers redeeming a RR against the same offer may not receive another RR.
 For example, if you buy a Degree deodorant and get a RR from Degree, then you buy the same Degree deodorant in a different transaction, you won't have another RR print if you use the first RR to pay for the 2nd transaction. Confused yet?

2. The number of manufacturer coupons, including Register Rewards manufacturer coupons, may not exceed the number of items in the transaction. The total value of the coupons may not exceed the value of the transaction. Sales tax must be paid, required by California law. 
*Note: They state Manufacturer coupons and RR, but I've found that the Wags I go to also adds the store coupons in the coupon count. Clarify the policy at the Wags you go to. 

3. In the event that any item's selling price is less than the value of the coupon, Wags will only accept the coupon in exchange for the selling price of the item. Coupon redemption can never exceed the selling price of an item and no cash back is ever provided in exchange for any coupons.

4. When items are featured in a Buy One, Get One Free promotion, up to two coupons can be used against the items being purchased, as long as the net price does not go below zero for the items being purchased.

Ok moving on to today's shopping trip.  


Retail Value= $93.61
After sales= $67.72
After coupons & RRs= $10.36
That's a 89% savings off the retail value!!!


Unfortunately, in California, sales tax on the total before coupons must be paid. 
Tax= $4.79
SO I paid a total of $15.15 out of pocket. Still not bad :)
