Too bad I did not get the Airwick coupons in this weekends paper :( I was going to try this deal, But cant now!
I always split my order and use my register rewards I earn on my first order for my second order. Is that not the best thing to do?
You can absolutely do that. The scenarios are just a way to help you spend the lowest out of pocket on the RR deals. Personally, I buy the RR items in my first transaction and then use them in my second transaction on things that I want to purchase that aren’t part of a RR deal. I don’t always shop Walgreens every week. So to keep from being stuck with RR that will expire before I can use them (they expire two weeks from when they were printed.) I spend them in the same week.
Other people prefer to spend as little OOP as possible on the RR deals and roll those into more RR deals saving them for the next week to continue to spend as little OOP as possible. Which is what the scenarios help with.
