To those of you who are running out to Walgreens for the friends and family sale: BEWARE. I just left my local Walgreens and ran into a small snag. When you're buying products to get a register reward, you MUST calculate the 15% discount if you have to buy a certain dollar amount worth of products. For example:
Garnier hair care - 3/$10.00, get $10 RR when you spend $20.00
Buy 6, use 6 x $1.00/1
Final price: $.66
*For this one, you need to buy 7 items, because the 15% FF discount will NOT get you to the $20 threshold! if you only buy 6*
If you by 7, factor in the coupons, register rewards, AND FF discount, you will only pay $.47 EACH!
Don't worry about the price when you have to buy a certain quantity of items to get your RR. For example:
Kotex pads - 2/$6.00, get $3 RR when you buy 2
Use with $2.00/2 Kotex prinatble coupon
Final price: $.50 each when you buy 2
*Once you factor in the FF discount, you will only pay $.05 PER PACK!!!
ALSO, GIVE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY COUPON TO THE CASHIER FIRST, before manufacturers coupons, or else you'll have to start all over.
Good luck, have fun!
