Free Robitussin & Dimetapp

This is a great week to stock up on cough medicines for cold & flu season.

Walgreens has Robitussin & Dimetapp on sale this week - $3.99 each. If you buy 3 you get $10.00 Register Rewards (RR) back for your next purchase. Plus you can print coupons ($3.00/1 for Robitussin and $2.00/1 for Dimetapp) here.

So, if you buy three you get more money back than you spent!

I went to my Walgreens today and here's how the deal worked:

Transaction #1
Bought 3 Robitussin DM @ $3.99 = $11.97

Paid with 3 $3.00/1 = $9.00
Total Out of Pocket $2.97 and $10.00 RR back!

Transaction #2
Bought 3 Robitussin DM @ $3.99
1 White Rain Shampoo $1.00
Total: $12.97

Paid with 3 $2.00/1 = -$6.00
Total Out of Pocket $6.97 and $10.00 RR back!

This worked great for me and now I have plenty of cough/cold meds for the season. I have 3 more of each coupon so I may go back and do the deal again with a different kind of each brand.

If this is your first time doing a deal at Walgreens here are a few tips:
First, you must buy 3 of EXACTLY the same kind of Robitussin or Dimetapp; you cannot mix it up and buy 2 of 1 and 1 of another kind - you'll only get $5.00 RR back if you do.
Second, don't try to use the RRs from the Robitussin purchase to buy the Dimetapp - because these are both made by the same company the RRs won't work as payment on the second transaction.
Last, to make this deal pay you back, you'll need to print the coupons. When you go to the site, click on the coupon you want, fill out the short form and then print the coupon. You can print the coupon as many times as you want and you don't need to worry about junk email or snail mail.

Anyone else have a good trip to Walgreens this week?
