Here is a great MoneyMaker available at Walgreens this week. When you buy $20 of Robitussin, you are supposed to get back $10 in RR's, but you actually get back $20 in RR's due to some promotions overlapping. So, if you use coupons, you could make up to $10 on this deal. Here is how it went for me:

Transaction 1:

Used (5) $2 off printable coupons = -10

I love this deal!! I buy alot of our diapers at Sam's and those easily add up to $50. I'm a pretty loyal P&G product user, so I also often buy toilet paper, paper towels and Cascade tablets in bulk, so there is no doubt I'll hit $50 in P&G products.
