No she’s saying that for example your crackers and lotions each qualify for a mail in rebate to not but them all on one receipt as one original receipt must be sent to the cracker people and one to the lotion people- you always must send an original receipt and if you put them all in one you would miss out on one of the rebates.

Hi
I did a few runs to Walgreens on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Prepared my lists with appropriate coupons and WAGs instore coupons and my $24 in RR from last week. I totalled everything up last night and found I had puchased $366.03 worth of products for $75.10 OOP. Three purchases were for 2 ROCs products on sale for($80) and Eucerin cream products on sale for($26). I cashed in a total of $146.38 in MFG coupons (which included a bunch of RR that were accumulated during the three days of shopping) that were described on various websites that teach us how to shop at Walgreens, $37.92 in WAGs sale flyer coupons, $81.63 in WAGs sale priced items, and $25 in RR for 5 of the the $25 purchases. Without the ROCs and Eucerin products I purchased $302.03 in products and had out of pocket of $11.10. I made a couple of mistakes by including RR items in a purchase and used RRs to pay so did not get any RR for them. Also used a $5 off of $25 RR in a purchase and did not get one back. Still learning but I appreciate these sites that provide such valuable information. Lots of stuff to give away for Christmas, Angel Tree, Shelters etc. Merry Christmas!!

Note: Two of the Walgreen’s stores I visited would not accept computer/internet generated coupons. I was at one of them last week and did not have a problem. I have called the corporate office to inquire. Spoke with customer relations and someone is to get back to me. I am going to request that if a store chooses to not accept internet coupons they need to post on their front doors so we do not waste our time.

Ok–I think if I return an item purchased with RR, then I will only get back what I paid, minus the RR–thus losing the RR…correct?

Now if I buy something that generates a RR, but was not purchased with a RR, if I return it, will I get back the full value that I paid or will they subtract the RR amount generated? Say I bought something for $40 and got $5 RR…if I return the $40 item, will I get back my $40 or just $35?

a lesson learned yesterday. in myrtle beach you can not buy more than one item on one ticket than you want your RR after. I bought 4 of the hair acces. and only got one RR. cashier told me I couldn’t get all four.

I don’t know where you live, Anna, but I use mine at Publix. They are manufacturer’s coupons and should be taken anywhere, but you may have issues at a less-customer-friendly grocery store. I just hand them over like cash after all my normal coupons come off. I don’t even bother trying to use them at Walgreens- too much trouble. I have used them successfully at Publixes in metro Atlanta and Tampa Bay.

I was reading your comment about the hallmark coupons and that lady going around ripping them out of magazines, that is stealing. I don’t know how she gets away with it, she needs to be reported. This really makes it hard on the honest people.

Question? Can I purchase a $25 gift card and get the $5 RR bonus?
Any help is appreciated.

If I had known it was not going to print, then I would have used the $5 RR to pay for a princess toy gift that after RR and $4 off toy coupon would have been $1!! Instead, I bought that in second transaction but ended up having to pay $6 for it….If I go back today and buy another item over $25 will it print $5 RR? If so, then I will use that to buy another toy….Then return the stuff I got the night before later…not trying to make a profit or fraud, just wanted to get my toy for $1!

I am confused and upset. LAst night I used a register reward to buy something over $25 and according to the 4 day sale ad, if you spend $25, then you get $5 register rewards…Mine did not print. I should have voided the transaction or asked for rewards back or gotten a manager,but I was tired and it was late and there was line of people behind me…The cashier said if you pay with register rewards, then it won’t print new ones….now I know I have done that very thing at another Walgreens at least twice, and my register rewards printed when I paid with register rewards….I want to go back and talk to manager or return everything and rebuy but do it in the proper sequence…I feel like they owe me $5….

I have a question yall.

I worked out my whole plan and scenario for my 3rd trip to Walgreens. I had done my first two trips at the same store and the 3rd was at a second Walgreens. I paid out of pocket $4.08 but at this second store my $5 on $25 didn’t print. I used $17 RR and was planning on $11 RR back. I spoke with the assistant manager and blah blah blah. He told me to call in the morning to speak with store manager.

Should I just let this go, or try to have her understand to side with the customer since I recieved the rr’s at another store, or do you think she’ll even credit me the $5?

I’ve actually taken a black marker and neatly colored in the store logo on MANUFACTURER coupons. I don’t see that being fraudulent because it clearly says manufacturer and not “store” coupon. Most of the time, cashiers are so busy, they haven’t noticed. Good luck.

Hi,
Need help with the Comtrex thing. I have the $3.00 off from the December book, and the $2.00 from the Healthy savings (?) booklet from the pharmacy, but I have been told before you can’t use those two books together? But you’re saying you can use both, plus the mfr Q, right? Thanks!

Oh YIKES! I would never have considered the return on the hair color if I realized all the implications. I was very tired and just disgusted with myself for not walking out and waiting another day until they restocked my original list. I needed the money for the power bill so I was especially upset with myself for not waiting.

I guess my husband remembers an older friend of ours who showed up recently sporting a headful of red hair. LOL It was not very flattering. So I see his point.

Thanks again for all the good suggestions made on the problem. Meme

Just a quick FYI for anyone in the Jacksonville, FL area:
The Stim-u-Dent RR is not printing out, so watch carefully. I have tried purchasing at the Mandarin/San Jose and Fleming Island store. The cashiers were both very nice and the managers just rang up an additional Conair item so I received all of my RRs.

there are 2 healthy savings coupon books. one looks just like the december coupon book. the one you need looks more like a pamphlet and has a pic of a family outside in a fall setting. it says “more than $30 worth of savings inside” on the cover. good luck!

I feel ya. FOUR of my papers were missing inserts. I was furious. I called the paper to complain, but they won’t do anytyhing. They probably figure people just stole them, and maybe they did. Sigh.

This RR yall got it going but I’m still trying to figure it out…I seriously see CVS ECB’s as being a better program..but I’m not sure how to start that either.

I have the Healthy Savings Booklet(offers good 11/29-12/26), but can’t find the Triaminic Store Q in there. :(

Oh, and your clerk was correct. The HDRR’s don’t roll. They did last year, but not this year. There were ways to avoid much OOP expense, even if several items were OOS, but it was challenging to work them out along with $5HDRR offer. You’ll get better at it.
