I am a newbie here and with the whole couponing thing. I need someone to help me w/ Walgreens this week. I have done a few deals at CVS recently. But haven't tried WAGS. These are the coupons I have in hand, and I need help with them for the best deal.:
.75 Blue Diamond (1)
1.00 Dawn (1)
.25 Ivory Soap (1)
1.50 Vaseline Sheer Infusion (1)
2.00 Tylenol (2)
1.00 Herbal Essence (5)
1.00 Hershey Kisses (1)
1.00 Dove (1)
1.00 Robitussion (1)
2.00 Fusion Razors (2)
2.00 Venus Razors (1)
I have no idea where to begin. Will someone help me get started, please?

There will be a .75/1 Halls coupon in today's paper that reportedly will work for the Halls (I haven't seen it yet, but that's what I have read).
So, if you have that coupon, use it, pay .25 and get a $1 RR.
Otherwise, starting out with the Robitussin would probably be your best bet (if the coupon you have doesn't exclude the To Go 2 pks).
Transaction #1:
Buy 1 Robitussin To Go pack - $2.49, get a $2.50 RR
(with your coupon, you'll spend $1.49 OOP)
Transaction #2:
Buy 1 Gillette Fusion (there will be a coupon in today's paper for $4 off) - $8.99, get a $6 RR
Buy 1 "filler" item (I have been using the Hunt's tomato sauce which is .39 with the in ad coupon - there are less expensive fillers such as pencils or seed packets if you'd prefer that)
(use $4 coupon if you have it and the $2.50 Robitussin RR)
Spend $2.88 (assuming you buy the Hunt's), get a $6 RR
Transaction #3:
Buy 1 Vaseline Sheer Infusion - $6.99
Buy 1 'filler' item (needs to be more than .51)
(use $1.50 Sheer Infusion coupon and $6 Fusion RR)
Spend $0 out of pocket (or a very small amount depending on your filler), get a $7 RR
Transaction #4:
Buy 1 HE - $2.99
Buy 1 Oral B toothbrush - $3
Buy 1 Dentek floss/floss picks - $2
1 small 'filler' item (at my store they require this because with the RR and HE coupon, it will be a negative balance and they won't adjust coupons down)
(use $1 HE coupon and $7 Vaseline RR)
Spend 'filler' item OOP, get a $2 PG RR (for the HE), $3 PG RR (for the Oral B), and $2 Dentek RR
I have been rolling the Dentek and HE RRs back and forth. When I buy the HE, though, and use the $1 coupon, I have to get a filler at my store because they won't adjust the coupons down.
I hope that helps....there may be a way to do this with less OOP, but I can't wrap my brain around it right now (I've had a migraine since yesterday which is the only reason I'm even up at this crazy hour!)
