i will either use the RR for more crackers later this week or i'll save it for another good deal in a future ad.

help me understand this.

you will get 5 of them and it will be $10

you can use 2 coupons ($1 off of 2) for a $2.00 savings

that brings the total of 5 to $8.00 or $1.60 each.

how are you getting them down to 5 for $5?

Use 5 coupons!

so they will let you use 5 coupons even though technically you should only be allowed to use 2?

the coupon says $1 on 2 boxes . . . they will let you use a coupon for each box?

April, the rebate is for ten products not ten dollars in products

So essentially youll get them free. I think.

Yes! You can only print two from each computer, but if you have coupons from the newspaper or multiple computers, the store does not have a limit.

thanks! this is why I can't be a super couponer . . .I can't even grasp the basics!

Kris. I am under the assumption here that you could only use 5 coupons if you bought ten boxes.

Each coupon is for 2 of your products. I MAY be wrong but I think they cant double it up like that

you're still making a profit on this deal, just not as good of a deal as i originally stated.

you can't roll at walgreen's. a new rr won't print.

Corey · Guru

april,
to roll rr's at walgreen's you need to first buy the crackers, get the $3rr, then find a deal that produces $3 rr also if there are any and roll the cracker rr into that deal, then that deal back into crackers. does that make sense?

wags catalina machines recognize the company code on the previous rr, so a nabisco rr can never be used in another nabisco deal if you want a new rr to print.

This was easily the most confusing post I've ever read, lol! I'm trying to envision how this is supposed to work out, and well... confuse

(Of course, I'm not fluent in couponese just yet, so I feel that way in most of these savings threads!) I think it will be well worth it for me to learn what all of this means. No need to reply, I just read it and started chuckling to myself.

Ok, t/j over! And thanks for sharing; I bought the Sunday paper today, and have coupons for the past month on my counter to clip.

Corey · Guru

lmao, toni!

it is simpler than it sounds. i knew april would understand so i didn't bother simplifying.

basically, the rr is the "on your next order coupon" the register prints as a reward for purchasing a certain product or products.

at walgreen's you cannot use an rr from a company, say nabisco, to pay for another rr producing purchase because the registers recognize that you are using said company's "reward" to buy more of the same products.

thus, you need to alternate deals in order to not lose them.

so, say crest was producing a $3 reward and so was revlon. your purchases would go:

buy crest/get rr
buy revlon/pay with crest rr/get new rr from revlon
buy crest/pay with revlon rr/get new rr from crest
rinse.repeat.rinse.repeat

make sense? biggrin

OMG, my head hurts after reading this...rr's around here are rail roads...wtf is an rr? A wags (I hate to say I think of the wiggles here).
