PLEASE FOLLOW STEPS OUTLINED BELOW and DO NOT USE WAGS CASH TO PAY!
1. Log into your Walgreens Account
www.walgreens.com
2. Clip or see if you've already clipped the following Coupons (ALL MUST BE CLIPPED PRIOR TO PAYING)
- You can find coupons to clip here:
https://www.walgreens.com/offers/offers.jsp
- Earn $5 Wags Cash wys $20 (most accounts have this but not all)
- $4 off 2 colgate
- $4 off 2 colgate (two coupons total, clip both)
- $1 off 2 Blue Diamond Extreme Almonds cans
- $3.50 off Softsoap/Irish Spring Body Wash or bar soap
3. Add the following items to your cart (use instock at store button on left hand side of page so you know what items are available at your local pick up store)
4. Your total after digital coupons come off will be $10.06, you will earn about $11.20 back in Wags Cash ($4 on Colgate, $2 on Colgate, $5 on $20 offer and regular purchase amounts) Sales tax will apply based on what's taxed in your state.
TIPS: ALLOW LIMITED SUBSTITUTIONS FOR SAME BRAND (ie other flavors of BD extreme, other Colgates at same price which earn the Wags Cash) BE SPECIFIC in your Substitution comments.
DO NOT PAY WITH WAGS CASH, if it drops below $20 using wags cash, you'll void the $5 Wags Cash offer.
Addtionally, if you use the FETCH APP, you will earn the following by scanning your receipt:
850 points x 3 on the Colgate items (2550 points) and 2000 points on the EXTREME flavor Almonds (1000 points x 2) these points are worth $4.55 towards their gift card redemptions! (assuming you haven't maxed out on these offers yet)
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, ASK THEM. Don't threadcrap the deal if you don't understand it, happy to answer questions or concerns.

Not saying this isn't a good deal. The end of your post where you micromanage people by saying "no threadcrapping if you don't understand the deal" isn't necessary, especially when you yourself don't seem to understand the difference between free items and investing money into a future purchase. Your whole post describes the latter. FREE would be them giving you the items with either no monetary exchange, or by giving you actual money back that at is at least equal to your purchase amount.
It's the same thing with deals that are free after rewards at Office Depot or any such deal.
In the world of deal hunting at stores like Rite Aid, CVS, Walgreens, Office Depot, etc most deal hunters understand the 'free' concept in that you are given equal or more spending power to use again. These are stores that people shop at on a regular basis, so paying Wags $10 now to get $24 worth of stuff to have another $11 to spend tomorrow is actually better than them giving me $24 worth of stuff for $0 now than not having even more to spend the next time (and an extra $4 towards gift cards at FETCH if you use that app).
As for the threadcrapping, that had to do with not understanding the deal as far as the mechanics of it. I just find people who nitpick about it being 'free' especially when it's made clear as the sun in the title making much ado about nothing. No one was mislead and it's perfectly clear you have to spend the money now to get the money to spend again later. So what is the issue then? Don't want to go that route to make it free, then don't mess with it, but you can't say you weren't told even before you clicked on the thread.
And as to your 50% off the next time (head scratching) you are given back the same amount of spending power you just laid out. So the next $11 purchase is 100% paid for too, not 50% off that purchase, and you may easily earn $10 in spending power again on that purchase with wags cash or register rewards or a rebate or whatever.
and PS, Wags Cash is valid for 12 months, so the fear mongering about using it while it is valid is definitely over the top IMO.

In my case, I wasn't interested in earning more Walgreens Cash, I just used the coupon to get some SoftSoap body wash for 49c+36c-tax=85c. I made them take off the 10c bag fee.
So you never spent a dime at Walgreens, but you're in the thread raising cain about stuff you don't want to spend a dime on that would be free in a very short period of time if you simply shopped there? OK. thanks. I feel better now.
How to get $5 more?
Look for $5 coupons in the saving tab
OP updated with links.
How to get $5 more?
you need to have also clipped the earn $5 wags cash when you spend $20 digital, however, as noted, while most accounts have it, not all do.

I earned over $11 in wags cash. Plus I'll get back the FETCH points worth another $4.
Good deal otherwise.
Good deal otherwise.
However, I did a deal just like this earlier last week, also the $5 wys $20 offer.
I bought $20 on a deodorant deal, used $10 in manu coupons (digital and paper), earn the $5 on $20 wags cash (confirmed) and a $5 Register Rewards. I just paid the tax oop net.
When Walgreens tells you 'cpns' messed it up, that could refer to Walgreens store coupons (which are often digital coupons on Wags on WAGS brand items like nuts) or an additional % off code like the recent SUNSHINE10 or the current STARS. If your total before manufacturer coupons is $22 and you apply a 10% off code taking $2.20 off the order, that $2.20 lowers your threshold spend to $19.80 before man Q's. and you won't get the $5. I learned this the hard way about a month ago. I didn't factor in that extra discount on my spend amount to get the $5.

YOU CAN USE Wags Cash to pay for another WAGS CASH deal that is based on "QUANTITY". ie, the colgate deals I have listed are buy 2, earn $2 or $4 in wags cash depending on the $3 vs $3.99 colgates.
So, you could go online, clip the digital for the colgate, add 2 to your cart, your total would be $3.98 for the two $3.99 colgates and you could redeem $3 in Wags cash to earn a new $4 in Wags cash with .98 charged to a CC.
You can also redeem wags cash on a promo like this as long as the Wags cash doesn't knock you below the $20 pre tax/pre Manu Coupon level.
IE:
Subtotal $24.48
minus $14 in Digital Man Q's (but NOT Wags store coupons like on their own products)
Minus $4 wags cash (makes the amount $20.48 towards the $5 on 20 wags cash)
Now your new OOP is only $6 + tax versus $10 + tax and you've still earned the new $5 Wags cash so you're not sitting on more and more Wags cash.
BTW, my local Walgreens has some weird pricing mistakes. For example, a 2L bottle of Dr. Pepper on-sale for $1, but the CRV came up as 40c+tax (should be only 10c in CA). Employees tried to convince me the CRV was supposed to be 40c. Easier to just void the transaction. I'm supposed to be cutting down on soda anyway.
Also thanks for explaining why people do the OD FAR deals. Yes, if you are recycling ink carts, then I definitely can see why you'd do these FAR deals. I used to do OD and Staples deals a lot, but my office supply needs have dwindled and I buy ink now mostly from Amazon or eBay -- ink is where I used to spend most of my OD $$ when I played the game. That and toilet paper in the old days when toilet paper wasn't such a commodity.
