Vicks cold medicine deal at Walgreens

There is a great deal on Vicks cold medicine this week at Walgreens! You'll get $5 in Register Rewards (RR) if you spend $15 on participating Vicks products, and $10 in RR if you spend $20 or more on Vicks. There were several coupons in last week's P&G insert that make this actually a potential $7 money maker (MM). Please visit Wild for Wags to see all the possible scenarios. If you need the coupons, hustle over to eBay or My Coupon Hunter and order yours now. I usually receive mine in 2-3 days after ordering, which will leave you plenty of time to do this deal. Be careful and check where the coupons are shipping from; if you buy some from a seller in California but you're here in Charlotte, they may not make it before Saturday. Look for sellers on the East coast or in the South. My Coupon Hunter is based in Florida, so the9y'll get to you pretty quickly.

The Vicks coupons have a limit of 4 in one transaction, so if you plan on doing this deal 2 or 3 times and "rolling" the RR into another order, you'll have to do a transaction without Vicks in between 2c with Vicks. Let me explain:

Transaction 1:
(4) Vicks Sinex, 10 or 12 count - $16
- (4) $4/1 Vicks Sinex product, any -- 12/26 P&G insert
- $5 in RR
= $5 MM!

You can use this $5 RR to buy some other stuff on sale at Walgreens, like:
 - Walgreens Big Roll toilet paper, 2/$1
 - Progresso Soup, 4/$5
 - Mott's 100% apple juice, 64 oz., $1.79
* These items require coupons in the weekly ad, so bring yours from home or grab one when you walk in the door.

If I were to do these deals, I'd give the medicine to Charlotte Rescue Mission and the toilet paper and food to Loaves and Fishes.
