Thank you for the tutorial,I’ll recommend it to friends.

I have a Wallgreens Q not covered in your video…

Yesterday,at Wallgreens, I wanted to purchase:

4 pkgs Extra gum
Used: (2) $0.50/2 – Extra Gum, 15-Stick Pack

Manager stated they couldn’t do the transaction. Though I had FOUR items and TWO coupons, the coupons count as FOUR coupons as they cover 4 products.

I canceled the transaction b/c I didn’t know if the manager was correct or not & wanted to check here first.

If he is correct, I do understand the “filler” concept. I just never heard anyone talk about how coupons stating something like ONE “$1.00/2″ coupon is considered to be TWO coupons at Wallgreens ?!

True or False?

Thank you to all that answer!

OMG! I am new at this and I just went to Walgreens today to purchase four Dove deodorants that were in the weekly ad (in ad coupon) and I also had four of the 2.00/1 Dove deodorant manufacturer coupon. When he rang me up I didn’t understand why I owed as much as I did but didn’t question it b/c I figured I was still getting a deal at $1.65 for four deodorants! So I wish I had seen this video before going there and I would have know to get a “filler” item! I will know next time! I love the video…now we just need one to go along with shopping at Rite Aid and CVS as well! The drugstores are so confusing but Walgreens is the MOST confusing! Thanks for all your help!

Excellent learning! I’m so glad you unlocked the order for Walgreen’s as I’ve had a couple of different trips that didn’t work out for OOP and now I know why!

OK, I have a question, I don’t know if its just the particular walgreens that I go to, but they will not allow me to use manufacturer coupons AND a register reward together, am I wrong in thinking that isn’t right, they are supposed to take both, they tried to tell me that since I am using manufacturer coupons I can’t also use a register reward with it, as it is also a manufacturer coupon? I don’t shop at walgreens much because of this reason, I am assuming it depends on the store manager and what they allow. can someone let me know about this, thanks!

Wow, check out that binder, lol!! Thanks for the video….Walgreens is very confusing!! Only going there without the family!!

Wow! Very informative video. I wasn’t aware of the # of items vs. # of coupons requirement. But then again, I usually find all kinds of cheap “fillers” to add to my transaction(s). I also didn’t think to give the BOGO manufacturer’s coupons before the store coupons for a better deal.

Side note: Very impressive coupon binder. Not gonna lie, I was a bit distracted by it while watching the video haha

(Must be another Erin on here — great name! lol)

Catherine –

(I am the Erin that posted right before you.) Yes, my store told me the exact same thing about adjusting the coupon value meant not being reimbursed for the coupon. I don’t understand why they put the “coupon amount must be reduced” part in their policy, if they are not required to follow it. (Or at least be honest about it and admit IF the register has the capability or not OR if they simply refuse to.)

I am not asking them to lose money. I am simply asking that they follow the other similar part of their policy that says that they will accept the coupon in exchange for the selling price of the item. Even stevens!

I am curious if the KCLadies have encountered this.

Great video! It still seems so complicated though for my newbie brain. I think I’ll stick to Rite Aid, Target and Price Chopper as my main stores for now. I have had a LOT of luck at RA!

Well good luck even if you have the coupon policy in your hand. Some stores will still refuse if the coupon exceeds the price of any item, telling you that they are not allowed to “hard key” or or make any changes to coupons or selling price even though their own policy says that they must.

And of course no manager is ever available.

Heather, great video! Thanks for all you and Joanie do, you’re the best. Is there any possibility that you can add best rolling transactions to your weekly Walgreens list like Wild For Wags does? Would be most helpful to me! Thanks again.

I am SO glad I watched this video last night AND printed out the coupon policy as advised. I went into WAGS tonight where I needed to reference it with both the cashier and the manager who didn’t understand how to manually adjust the manu coupon. They told me it couldn’t be done. But then the manager took some time to read it and then fixed it. It sucked to have some angry stares behind me and waste about 5 solid minutes at the register, but I ended up with three Gain dishsoaps for sales tax only! Worth it!

Heather or anyone who has a binder the size of hers….where do you find a binder that large? I have looked everywhere with no luck. I carry 3 binders right now and would love 1 huge one.
