April 2010

Sometimes I see something in a Walgreens ad that makes me want to laminate it and carry it around in my coupon binder for all eternity. This upcoming ad has 3 of those types of items in it and I want to point them out to you.

Example #1 – At one point or another I think we will all hear “If you use a coupon on a Register Reward deal your Register Reward won’t print”. Take a look at this first picture from the ad starting this Sunday 5/2. Notice anything? It’s a deal promoting both a Register Reward and coupons in the Sunday paper. So if Register Rewards don’t print when you use a coupon, why would Walgreens be encouraging us to use coupons for this deal?

Example #2 – I love this one! Here at the top of the page Walgreens is flat out asking us to use our P&G coupons with these offers, with a Register Reward deal right in the center!

Example #3 – This is my absolute favorite. Many of you have recently been told that you can no longer use a Walgreens Monthly IVC Coupon with a Manufactures coupon. If that is the case why is Walgreens encouraging us buy this One Touch UltraSmart or Ultra 2 Monitor with both a “$35 instant coupon in store”, which is from the the May Monthly IVC coupon booklet AND the coupon coming in our Sunday paper? Are they teasing us with a coupon we aren’t allowed to use?

So, until Walgreens puts out an official coupon policy for all it’s stores, I’ll carry this ad in my coupon binder. And in-spite of everything, I still remain Wild for Wags! 😉
