An update... the manager of Walgreens left a very condescending voice mail after I emailed Walgreens - she said she certainly didn't want me to feel duped or scammed, that if I had done everything I was supposed to I would have gotten them, but I was welcome to call back and let her go over it with me blah blah blah. It was so snotty that I didn't return her call, but I did call the Catalina company and they are investigating. The rep I spoke with was super nice, and he said it sounds as if I should have gotten them, and that of course you can use coupons for these, it's dependent on the amount before coupons!! He also said if you ever have a problem with a catalina to please email them at ncsc@catalinamarketing.com. I feel much better now, and will never ever shop the Buford (braselton hwy) walgreens again.:o)

I appreciate the reply. I thought it sounded off, for I've been reading everyone's great comments about their experiences and it didn't sound right. I'll take your advice and notify the company about the ordeal. Thank you

I hope he showed you where in the fine print it says “Not valid with manufacturers' coupons” or “Must meet dollar amount X.” Because it sure doesn't say that in my sale ad, so maybe he's the one who needs to learn to read the fine print. (Sorry, that kind of statement really gets my goat!) The fact is, some employees, when they don't know the answer, just take their best guess. If I were you, I would 1) email Walgreens and tell them about the problem, and 2) call the Catalina company and find out if they can send you the coupon, to which you are entitled.

I'm fairly new to this coupon thing and decided to try one of the suggestions this morning at my local Walgreen:

**Deal Idea**
Buy: (2) Crest Pro Health Rinse $3.50 ea
Use: (2) -$2 off Crest Pro Health
Total Due: $3
Get Back: $2.50 RR, makes it 25¢ ea

After the transaction I didn't get my $2.50 RR so I questioned why. The Customer Service Manager came over and told me since I used manufactures coupons I didn't meet the amount to get the RR. Has anyone else had this problem? In the end he ended up giving my $2.50 in cash but said it would be the only time he would do it and I would have to read the fine print.

Even better:
Dove's man body wash 5.99 use $1.50 coupon get $6 RR Out of Pocket OOP= 4.91
Razor $8.99 use $4 coupon buy Dove's man body scrubber 5.99 use $6 RR OOP= $4.99 plus tax and get $4 RR

Go back get body wash use $1.50 coupon and $4 RR OOP= .49 plus tax get $6 RR
get razor use $ coupon and $6 RR and a small $2 item pay almost nothing and get $4 RR

ETC keep rolling the deals

They are not COMPETITOR coupons they say right on them Manufacturer coupons redeemable at walgreens…I was given a hard time once and pulled out a Snickers manufacturer coupon that said redeemable at Publix (from the Sunday RP or SS) and I said so does this mean I can only use this here and not at Walmart? That shut them up!

Call the district manager or corp and tell them to notify your location to accept them, they will.

Yes because RR are MANUFACTURER COUPONS they can be used anywhere. You may need to call a manager and have them call corporate while you are standing there but they must take them. We take our RR and buy groceries for free at Publix! Note on each RR there is the address so that the store will get reimbursed and each RR is from a diff company such as Unilever, P&G, Mars, etc…

I am a big couponer but FYI the best deal on sugar is at Super Walmart…I have 4 kids so a lot of kool-aid and even with coupons the best deal on sugar is Walmart's brand in bulk like the 10-15lb bags…if you have the room get the 30!

That is not true unless you were trying to purchase the same product. So you got $4 for razor then used the $4 for another razor…in that situation you cannot get another $4 RR. So use the $4 RR on another product that will give you a big RR like diapers or the dove bodywash they had last week. I got the $6 from body wash then used it towards razor got the $4 and used it towards body wash got the $ 6 used towards razor and just rolled the deals. See what I mean?

The RR problem could be that by using it you would be taking off the tax and that is not allowed. So say your total was down to 1.89 and you tried to use a $2 RR it won't allow it. Some of the stores' registers will automatically adjust and make the RR only worth say 1.25 so you can pay the tax but then you just lost out on 75 cents of your RR so best just to pay the small amount and save the RR for next order.

Probably, but even with the 20.00 off of the test strips, you would be paying alot more and it wouldn't be a money maker. The test strips are what is expensive.

10.00 before q and do not use any rr from hershey, also you have to get a filler items to use rr's.

On the deals like the Hershey's chocolate where it says get $5 rr if you buy $10, is that after all coupons? What if I pay for part of it with other register rewards? Does the total have to be $10 after everything?

i called the olay rebate and they told me that the olay needs the original but the p@G book can use the photocopy just write on it using for multiple rebates. Both rebates are from the same company and the lady checked for me. I was happy because i did the target deal on the olays.

Next time grab some filler items (candy or pencils-something cheap) this will help with your coupons. It may take 1 or more filler items. After they ringup the filler item, tell them to try your rr again. If 1 doesn't work try another cheap item addition. hope this helps!
