Here's what I got @ Walgreens! ...it took forever --5 transactions! --& I made mistakes, but the savings are still worth the hassle :)

4 Right Guard Total Defense 5 Body Wash, 13.5 oz $4.99

-use coupon for B1G1 FREE Right Guard from RP 5/1
Yes, you can use a B1G1 FREE coupon with a B1G1 FREE store promo to get both items FREE!
-and use $1 off "peelie" coupon on product
Final Price: FREE + $0.50 profit when you buy 2
I found out at checkout that the coupon only covers $4.49, so I used one $1 peelie to cover the rest & make $0.50 to use towards the rest of my purchase!
2 Noxzema Disposable Razors, 4 pk $3.99
Buy 1, Receive $3.00 Register Reward, Limit 1 per transaction
-$2.00/1 Noxzema Spa Shave from RP 5/1
Pay $1.99, Receive $3.00 Register Reward
Final Price: $1.01 PROFIT

Make sure you don't use the Register Reward you receive from buying one product on buying the same product again or your RR will not print!! 
I messed up and used my Noxzema RR to buy another and so I didn't get my $3 RR :( Even the coupon bomb makes mistakes. 
oh well, I still got both packages for $0.98 total, AND I found a $2 off coupon inside the package, so I can go do this deal again for profit!

2 Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor System $9.89
Buy 1, Receive $5.00 Register Reward, Limit 1 per transaction
-$4/1 Gillette Fusion from P&G 5/1
Pay $5.89, Receive $5.00 Register Reward
Final Price: $0.89

I accidentally bought the wrong Gillette razor, not ProGlide, the first time, and had to exchange it for the right one so I would get my Register Reward. The shelves were not marked with the promotion, so you've gotta pay attention :) 
I also suggest that you don't shop with a screaming toddler... that's a sure fire way to mess things up! haha
I had to get a filler item on most of my transactions, so I got more Easter candy for 50% off, 37 cents each, and gum for $0.50 each... I ended up having to get 4 packs of gum because I messed up on the razor purchase...
