I'm intrigued by your comment about getting the newspaper at the Dollar Tree. What day paper is it?
How do you get Walgreens to roll your RRs? All the Walgreens I've been to here won't print out RRs if I used RRs to pay for the purchase.
Great job, by the way. I was very pleased to walk into CVS with 5 ECBs, get tampons & deoderant, spend $.47 and leave with $9 ECBs.

I pick up extra Sunday papers from Dollar Tree for $1, better than the $2 elsewhere.
You have to be careful rolling RR at Walgreen’s. You can only purchase 1 of the same product that's giving you an RR per transaction and you can't use that RR to pay for the same item. You won't get another RR. Why I purchased EOS in 2 transactions to get 2 RR.
You also need to watch the product manufacturer on the RR. Sometimes if you're using an RR from say a Kimberly-Clark product to pay for another Kimberly-Clark product then you won't get another RR. Also, RR count as manufacturer’s coupons when you’re counting coupons vs items. Must have same # of items as manufacturer’s coupons.
That's why I had 2 transactions. I used the $5 Schick RR to purchase another EOS shave cream plus other items to get $5+ total. Also, if the RR is $3 then the sale b/4 tax must be $3 or more-can't use $3 RR on a product priced at $2.99, tax doesn’t count
If this doesn’t make sense maybe the more lengthily getting started piece at the top of the page will help. Cashiers used to tell me I couldn’t use an RR to pay and get another RR to print. That’s not true as long as you follow the rules.
Yes, I love CVS-paying $0.47 and getting back $9 ECB's is awesome!
