But, here is what I got. The Kellogg's, $5 RR didn't print. I got $2 instead. I was so confused, that I didn't even worry about it. You guys do such a GREAT job with your coupons...I'm inspired. Jenny...Thank you! I'm so addicted! Anyway, I spent right at $50...I got, 2 tape dispensers, 2 boxes of mini-wheats, 2 boxes of raisin bran, 3 ponds wipes, Dove hairspray, conditioner and shampoo, Q-tips, 2 boxes of Club crackers, a box of cheez-its...I think that is all. I saved $7.75 in coupons and got back $12 total in RR. So, my next trip will be even better! :) So, without splitting everything out, I spent on average, $3 per item....Definitely not great! But, now, I'm armed with RR!!!! Well…I KNOW I didn’t do so well. But, here is what I got. The Kellogg’s, $5 RR didn’t print. I got $2 instead. I was so confused, that I didn’t even worry about it.

The manager tried again ringing up 8 peanut butters and still didn't work, but then he went to a different terminal and rang up 8 peanut butters and RR printed, then he voided the transaction. So sometimes it may be a specific cash register won't print.

I have total of 3 RR equal $17 dollars. Iam planning on purchasing 13 items with 8 manufacture coupons should they take them and all three of my RR. I read somewhere that # of RR and manuf coupons had to be greater than the number of items purchased. I will also recieve 6 more RR for other products than the RR that I will be paying with. Please someone let me know if this right or wrong. Walgreens can be confusing I am already working on Sundays sale. I have total of 3 RR equal $17 dollars.

I had the same issue that many others are having. If I used a RR in a transaction, the RR for that transaction would not print. The manager at the first store claimed that this was always the policy. I told him that it was not how it had worked last week. The manager at the second store was perplexed on why the RR did not print. In both cases, the manager printed me a RR from the cash register and apologized for the inconvenience. Is this the new system? If it is, then I don't see how they are going to compete with CVS. I did get some good deals, though. I used 3 of the $5/$25 coupons. I went to two different Walgreens in north Alabama today. I had the same issue that many others are having.

A 90-count bottle is $10.99. With the $5 in-ad coupon and the $5 mfr coupon, it's only $.99! Or do what I did and take both coupons to Publix, use the Walgreens $5/$25 and get a great deal!

RR are actually manufacturer coupons that Publix can get reimbursed for, as long as they are scanned into the system. More often than not, cashiers see "Redeemable at Walgreens" and enter them as competitor coupons. They lose money this way. If they will scan the RR in, they can get reimbursed, same as with other manufacturer coupons. It is a privilege for us to be able to use RR at Publix. Let's do our part to ensure that privilege remains! When using your RR at Publix, please make sure your cashier knows to SCAN THEM instead of entering as a competitor coupon.

They are $2 each and if you buy 5 that makes it the required $10 to get $5 RR back and you can use (5)$1/2 and they would end up being free! Just thought I would mention it since I did the math.

I do know that my local Publix accepts the Walgreens RR's with no questions asked. So here is what I plan to do after I get the paper on Sun. morning, compare the CVS and Walgreen adds and see which is a better deal for me, ECB's or Walgreens RR's, which I will only be using at publix now.

The manager told me that was because I used a Q on the cereal. I told him I had used Qs on the other deal, and that $5 RR printed just fine. I asked if this is in writing somewhere, so I don't waste my time, his time and my Qs on such a thing. He said even he doesn't know when "they" (not sure who "they" is exactly) determine that using a coupon voids the RR deal. Frustrating! This store also won't take internet coupons. (Rockbridge Rd. in Stone Mountain/Lilburn GA) I find that amusing since Walgreens actually links to internet coupons on their very own website. Anyone know a Walgreen's around here that does take internet Qs? I think this experience makes me like my CVS even better. All the locations around me are SO nice!

The manager gave me a story about how the manufactures make sure they still make money and the computer that prints the RR won't print them if the total is too low. I told her to then please adjust it herself and give me the RR b/c that's how her store advertised it- and she refused. So I ended up spending way more than I had planned...and very mad I think I'm just going to be a CVS girl b/c I can't figure out this Walgreens thing to save my life- any help would be great - Heather- I had the exact same problem at Walgreens this week and it put me in a terrible mood – I used a bunch of manufacture Qs and tried to get my RR for the purchase- I was supposed to get $ 10 in RR for the first transaction and it only printed 6…then once the total got below $7 it wouldn’t print any RR at all.

I'm a nurse and already don't like dealing with their pharmacy to call in rx, but went today to take advantage of some freebies and RR's and it was not good. I had no RR going in. Bought a bottle of the Vitamin conditioner, got my RR for that and was going to roll into the Tylenol buys. Got 2 boxes of the Tylenol sinus, used my 2 $2 off coups. The subtotal was more than the RR from the previous transaction and the computer wouldn't let me use it. They said since I only bought 2 items and had already used 2 coups, I couldn't use another. I told them to keep the Tylenol. The bad thing now is that I have $4 RR and don't really want to go back. Ok, so far I’m not liking Walgreens.
