Updates From the Field 3/20

by Christie Bisbee on March 20, 2011

Here are some updates from my trip to hopefully make your trip go a little smoother!

ALMAY DEAL

Wow is all I can say on this deal. I was thrilled to find that the Almay Eye Makeup Remover (which is my favorite), and the Almay make-up remover towelettes are included in this deal. That means you’ll actually get paid $.81 to buy them even with NO coupon!

The $2/1 Almay Cosmetics, Walgreens Spring Beauty Guide coupon worked for me in every store I went to including those with new and old scanners. However, with the new scanners they had to be scanned like 10 times to finally work but they did. Also the liquid eye make-up remover and the towelettes both worked with the MQ coupon as well. There is a picture on the $1/1 of eye make up remover pads so obviously Almay intended for that to be the case. I luckily had NO problem stacking coupons for these products.

BUY
1 – Eye make up remover or Towelettes $4.19
1-$2/1 Almay Cosmetic Product, any – 03-06-11 SS x4/10
1-$2/1 Almay Cosmetics, Walgreens Spring Beauty Guide
Total = $.19, Get Back $5 Register Reward
= $4.81 MONEY MAKER

In addition, I found that at some stores (NOT ALL) these rang up B1G1 50% off! You’ll only get 1 $5 Register Reward but if you use it and don’t want to deal with the hassle of doing multiple transactions you might choose to buy (2) at a time. In that case the 50% off only applied to the price of the item AFTER the $2 coupon. This was a store with NEW registers. This is how that went for me…

BUY
2- Eye make up remover or Towelettes $4.19
Total = $8.38
(1) – $2/1 Almay Cosmetic Product, any – 03-06-11 SS x4/10
(1) – $1/1 Almay Cosmetic Product, any – 03-06-11 SS x4/10
(1) – $2/1 Almay Cosmetics, Walgreens Spring Beauty Guide (Took off $4)
– B1G1 50% OFF (Took off $1.10 – 50% off after Wags Q price)
Total = $0.28, Get Back $5 Register Reward
= $4.72 MONEY MAKER!

PLACKERS DEAL

This is rather bizarre but if you can’t find the Plackers try the snack isle. I found them hanging on a display, right next to the popcorn. Maybe they figure that popcorn gets stuck in your teeth and you might need some floss handy? I don’t know, I thought it was rather a strange place to put them but it did make me laugh!

REACH DEAL

I couldn’t find any REACH crystal clear toothbrushes today to do this deal. I guess the early bird gets the worm and I have other priorities early on Sunday mornings so no toothbrushes for me! Oh well, I’m so happy with my Almay I don’t much care. πŸ˜‰

How did your shop go? Find a great a deal? Let us know!

I found a GREAT deal on the AirWick FreshMatick motion sensor air freshener! They are 7.99, but are buy one get one free. Since I bought two items, I used two coupons- one for $4 off, the second for $3 off ( not sure of which Sunday flyer these came in, as I store mine according to isle). I got both of these items for a TOTAL of .99 cents!! whoo hoo!! πŸ˜‰

I was beginning to wonder about the Reach toothbrushes — haven’t seen any of those in at least a month of looking. I’ve been to different locations and even grabbed the guy putting up the ad stickers to see if maybe I had overlooked them. There wasn’t anything on the shelves to indicate they’d ever been there, so I say “hmmmmmmmmm.”

I missed the Almay deal, but I’ll be back!

Mitchell Wischmann March 20, 2011 at 11:25 pm

I had trouble finding these at both of my stores this morning, but when I went back later this afternoon, they had magically appeared…weird!

Found the Tena pads on sale for 6.49. Used the 2.50 off coupon and received a $10 RR. $6 moneymaker!!!!!

Melissa March 20, 2011 at 4:44 pm

Hi Merideth,

Did your Tena coupon beep…I had a problem with mine going through.

πŸ™‚

Reply

Merideth March 20, 2011 at 6:15 pm

It did but the cashier put her finger over a certain place on the coupon for it to scan. I couldn’t tell exactly where but it was down by the barcode.

Reply

Jeff March 20, 2011 at 11:43 pm

Many of the coupons have two barcodes on them and it screws things up at my store. Sometimes, covering up one of the barcodes allows them to scan the coupon.

Corinne March 20, 2011 at 4:31 pm

Wow Meredith!

Anabel March 20, 2011 at 4:34 pm

I don’t think they have any of the Reach toothbrushes anywhere I’ve looked for months and I can never find them! those little rascals are hiding out in storage somewhere I guess!

lisa March 21, 2011 at 3:58 pm

I’ve learned that my store doesn’t always put everything out. Look above the top shelf where the dental care items are. Mine were in a ziplock baggie. Our dental care items are on the back wall. If you have a newer store, it may be different. hth

Bobbi Jean March 20, 2011 at 4:43 pm

For ONCE my store had a stockpile of reach toothbrushes, and I only printed/clipped enough for one transaction because my stores seem to always be out of the good stuff. Oh well! Its always a gamble for me as Wags is a 20 min drive.

Reply

Nancy March 20, 2011 at 4:49 pm

did the coupons (both mqs and spring beauty ones) beep for you at all? One always beeped for me; I tried it at a couple different wags.

Reply

Christie March 20, 2011 at 5:02 pm

Nope – remarkably neither beeped! My guess is that my area has finally programmed the Spring Booklet into its system so no beeps! πŸ™‚

Maria March 20, 2011 at 5:43 pm

Both my coupons beeped. But my cosmetics counter lady made it work.

Bryan March 21, 2011 at 2:11 pm

Will the RR print for any Reach toothbrush or does it have to be the kind on for $.99? My store only has 3 of those. Doesn’t help me!!!!

Reply

Christie March 21, 2011 at 2:38 pm

It is for any reach toothbrush. If you buy 3 you’ll still get a RR, so go ahead and buy the 3 and it’ll still be a money maker, just a slightly smaller one.. πŸ™‚

Reply

Emily March 23, 2011 at 11:40 am

Better deal to do each separate since you still get 1 RR for each. πŸ™‚

Reply

Donna E March 20, 2011 at 9:17 pm

I had a beep on the Spring Beauty Book. The manager said the coupons were downloaded to their system with a 3/16 expiration date… So, he had to go in the back and recode them?!

Anyway, it worked.

ashley March 20, 2011 at 11:42 pm

mine beep and since “it didnt match the picture” she wouldnt push it through… will try a different one tomorrow!

Brianna March 20, 2011 at 4:59 pm

I bought two Garnier items (2/$7 get $5RR) but did not receive my RR so I returned them. Anyone know what it’s working on?? Maybe the more expensive items??

Reply

Christie March 20, 2011 at 5:01 pm

Brianna – I believe it’s the more expensive items.

Reply

adam March 20, 2011 at 8:46 pm

yes it on like the 25.8 oz bottles…so no deal.

Reply

Diann March 21, 2011 at 9:02 am

I purchased a Garnier Fructis Shampoo and a conditioner each with a bonus travel size attached (these were smaller size – 2/$7 regular price). My cashier scanned the barcode on the shampoo bottle itself instead of the overwrap holding the bonus and my $5 RR printed. $1 per bottle plus bonus is a sweet deal even without a coupon.

grace March 20, 2011 at 4:59 pm

Is the floss included in the R&R deal for Reach? Plenty of reach toothbrushes but no Almay products!! (Plenty of the coupon books though – weird)

Reply

Tina March 20, 2011 at 5:20 pm

For the almay, I thought it had to be an item reg price of $7.99 ot more for the RR deal. Is that not the case?

Reply

Heather-My Sweet Savings March 20, 2011 at 5:27 pm

I am wondering this as well…..Christie,do you know of the inclusions for the Almay deal? Thanks so much! πŸ™‚

Reply

Christie March 20, 2011 at 6:49 pm

No – there is no $ amount. The ad just said (1) participating product. However, there was no way to know until this morning if they would include the eye makeup remover, face wipes, etc. They did so YIPPPEEE! πŸ™‚

The eyeshadow 3 packs are included, also the mascara that is near that.

Reply

nevin March 20, 2011 at 5:26 pm

Tried to do the Almay deal. Was shown that the q in the Spring Book says MQ on the back. Manager said that I could only use one.
Next store, cashier says that make-up wipes are not a cosmetic product!!! I disagreed with her. OH, for putting on make-up it’s okay, but to take it off it’s not?? She then allowed it.
Only one of three stores had Reach crystal clear toothbrushes.

Reply

Jean March 20, 2011 at 5:28 pm

I found out the two stores near me (in Tampa) don’t even carry Almay products anymore!!! Found toothbrushes at both but no Almay.. None. How can I find out if any of the stores near me carry it, so I don’t have to drive to each of them? Thanks!

Reply

ashley March 20, 2011 at 11:44 pm

call them! i have started putting the numbers to the stores i frequent into my phone for just that reason!

Jean March 21, 2011 at 5:50 pm

Thanks for your response; I found the “find it in the store” and found two stores nearby that had the Almay. Now I am just trying to find out if all products are included… Any thoughts?

Amanda March 20, 2011 at 5:29 pm

The 7 stores around me are out of the reach toothbrushes too. One good deal I found today was Zest body wash for men. They are buy one get one half off. Just so happen the bottles were pre package with two 18oz bottles. so I got 8 Zest body washes(2 in a pack) and used 4 1.00 off coupons from todays paper and spent 3.40(i also used a 3.00rr in the trans)

Reply

Carolina March 20, 2011 at 5:32 pm

I went to my Wags at 7:00 A.M. today lol. I got the reach toothbrushes and the AlMAY make up remover wipes. I was not sure if they were part of the RR but need some anyway. The price was 5.99 and 30% off made them 4.19 minus 2.00 Q 2.19. Sweet Deal!

Kimberly Elms March 20, 2011 at 5:37 pm

Robin March 20, 2011 at 5:39 pm

My store wouldn’t let me use both coupons on the Almay product and I wasn’t in the mood to fight for it so I only got $2 off. Better than nothing besides I spent $22 in RR’s and $12 out of pocket and received $26 RR’s so I really can’t complain to much.

Kathie March 20, 2011 at 5:40 pm

DH & I tried at 2 different stores to get the reach toothbrushes with a printed $1 cpn. Neither store would let us do the deal.

I got FREE cream of wheat today.My store has 3 small boxes with 3 instant packs in them . There are two differant places to get coupons on the coupon data base. Two coupons each so 4 free boxes

Reply

Tina March 20, 2011 at 5:52 pm

I bought 4 packs of Chex mix and they rang up for $1.00 each so they were free with the $4 off 4 Q

Reply

Pam March 20, 2011 at 5:53 pm

So Christie, how much Almay did you get? I ran there at 6am on my way to work today, and did 8 transactions real quick! I am hoping there is still some stuff left so I can stop by after work, even though I ran out of manufacturer coupons, with the Wags coupon you can still get great deals. At the store I went to, the Wags Q wouldn’t scan, so the clerk just reduced the price of each item by $2. I was worried that may affect the RR, since it knocked the eye make-up removers down to 2.19 but it didn’t affect them at all!

Reply

Christie March 20, 2011 at 6:43 pm

I went to 4 stores and bought 7 products, so not as much as I would like to but I’m out of coupons! I’m patiently waiting for the coupons I bought from ebay to arrive. I want to pick up some more for family, friends and donations! πŸ™‚

katey March 20, 2011 at 6:21 pm

it great deal!!!! i love moneymaker but walgreens wont take it or wont give me rewards bec it near free. it make me piss off!..my walgreens start give me a hard time now. now i hate walgreens!

Reply

Bree March 21, 2011 at 3:21 am

I am also having troubles with my Wallgreens checkers. I feel something has changed…memo from the top maybe, telling them to look out for us? The whole vib is different. One checker, who was always great and never had problems scanning or anything, is now looking over my coupons as if they are not for the product I am buying. After a long time in line I just asked him “so what’s up with my coupons today?” He said something happened but didn’t want to go into detail. He then called over a manager because my candies from todays purchase (2/$1.00 mars candies)were free. He asked her if I could get them because they are coming up free. ????? Never was a problem before. And I had about 20 things in my cart I was purchasing. Just wondering if others are feeling this. I still love my store though πŸ™‚

stacia March 20, 2011 at 6:49 pm

I was expecting the last airwick coupon to beep, but it didn’t because it rang up full price and then the register took off 15.98 at the end (I bought 4).
I also bought the Almay eye make=up removers…didn’t have any MFq, justs used the Spring Beauty Book.
I did two small transactions of method hand soap, plackers and almay, used 2 4RR to pay and got back 9RR.
In my HUGE transaction I got:
4 bags of 9.9oz MnM Pretzels
8 Dove chocolate bars
8 bags of Chex Mix
1 Keebler Fudge Stix
2 cans of Comet
4 packs of Dentyne
8 packs of Trident
1 Almay eye make-up remover
1 Plackers
1 Tena Ultra Thin
4 Airwick
1 Method Hand Soap
after coupons and 14RR and IVCs…
I spent 13.28oop +tax 3.28 = 16.79 and I got 19RR back
receipt says my total savings was 114.81

julie March 20, 2011 at 7:42 pm

I was just at walgreens and the cashier would only let me use one coupon for the almay said that they were both mq’s. Shouldn’t you be able to use both the mq and the spring beauty guide coupon?

Was there supposed to be a $4 RR for purchasing (4) Reach flosses? I did not receive my reward.

No – just for (4) Reach Toothbrushes not the Floss.

Emily March 23, 2011 at 11:44 am

Did you pay with a reach RR? because that would cause it not to print… otherwise you SHOULD have received a 2 RR for buying 3.

Reply

sarah March 20, 2011 at 8:07 pm

Does anyone have a good suggestion to roll with the Almay? Or are you just doing separate transactions with multiple Almay products?

Reply

Donna March 20, 2011 at 8:39 pm

What is up with those ‘new’ scanners. It seems like the cashiers are having an even harder time, getting coupons to scan. I was at Walgreens last week and the cashier commented that the new scanners were supposed to work better, but are not. At a completely different Walgreens that I went to this morning, almost the same scene with the cashier having a very hard time getting the new scanners to scan the coupons.

I must say, great deals this week though. I took advantage of the Almay, Plackers, Reach CC toothbrushes and Chex Mix deals. Paid 2.68 (incl tax) and got $11 back in register rewards. πŸ™‚

Christie March 20, 2011 at 8:49 pm

Donna – I hate, hate, hate those new scanners! My poor cashier scanned everything like 10 times at least before it went through!

So the in-store coupon is working for the four Reach toothbrushes? I noticed on the coupon in the ad today that it said “limit 3”

Reply

Emily March 23, 2011 at 11:46 am

It says that, but I think the cashier told me once its just so the store can limit if they want to. My store is usually well stocked so they don’t limit me.

Reply

Katrina March 20, 2011 at 9:11 pm

First my disclaimer, I did not clean the store out of any product while doing my transactions and I did them at two seperate Wags although most were at one. I won’t list everything out as it will take too long but here is the skinny on it.

oop = 50.98
savings = 304.64
total purchased amount = 355.62

RR still have in pocket= 47.00 (+ possible 5.00 from corp. for Almay that didn’t print this morning)

Savings without register RR = 85.66%

Savings w/ RR = 98.88%

Savings w/RR + add. $5RR = 100.3%

If recover $5 RR that didn’t print, I got paid 1.02 after tax (before tax $17.50) to buy $355 in products

I did find the Reach toothbrushes and got 4 even though I didn’t have any coupons for them, needed them for a service project my girls have this week. Also the (add $5 is in regards to a RR that didn’t print but I called corp. about getting from my Almay this morning.)

I did find Children’s Advil on Clearance for $3.59 and used a $1 off printable from when they had the pedicare deal with the $2 off from Infant book to get it for $.59.

I did get 6 of the Celadrin for my husband, it was too awesome a deal not to stock up on.

Darlene March 20, 2011 at 9:25 pm

My Walgreens in NW IN wouldn’t let me use both Almay coupons. The clerk said the one in the spring booklet was also a mfg coupon.

Reply

CarrieD March 20, 2011 at 9:54 pm

Tip: Last week when the Irish Spring deot did not print the RR the manager did an exchange on them. He returned them and then re-bought them. At the end of that trans the RR printed. You might want to see if that will work for you.

Reply

Deb March 20, 2011 at 10:25 pm

what can I do about this?
My wags manager said that I could not use the almay beauty ivc because it said “Not Valid with any other offer” on the back! did they not code it into their system? Maybe I’ll have to go to a different wags tomorrow instead. I’m bummed out that I didn’t just void the transaction and go back tomorrow or something. but I always go to that wags so don’t want to be the customer that sticks out lol.

Deb March 20, 2011 at 10:29 pm

oh yeah, and the almay were ringing up BGLP too.. but that’s not fair. Last week I went and bought some with my MQ and it worked when I stacked them.

Katrina March 20, 2011 at 10:59 pm

picked up the Vitamins and Supplements booklet tonight at Wags with over $40 in Wag coupons in it that expire 4/30. We will see if it comes in handy over the next couple weeks on stacking to match any sells.

Nancy K March 20, 2011 at 11:56 pm

For the Almay products – in Onalaska, WI the cashier could not get the beauty booklet coupon to scan (regular mnfr coupon worked fine). She tried twice and wouldn’t go through. Then she tried typing it in with no luck. She read the back and it says mnfr coupon and said she could only take one coupon. I was bummed. For some reason she tried a 4th time and it worked! Yeah! I did a second transaction and same thing – took it on the 4th attempt.

Reply

Laura March 20, 2011 at 11:59 pm

I went in and just did one big transaction — I only had one Almay coupon (more on their way from ebay!) so I kept it simple and did one transaction. Got: 9 Bugles/Chex mix (accidentally got 9 instead of 8 oops!), Almay eye shadow, 2 Zone Bars, 2 Trident, 2 Snicker eggs, 4 Reach toothbrushes, 1 Plackers.

Used $7 in RR, paid $2 oop and left with $11 RR. πŸ™‚

Both of the Almay coupons beeped for me but the cashier just pushed them thru.

Bree March 21, 2011 at 3:33 am

I followed Christie’s shopping list to a tee. Worked out fantastic!! Thank you for doing that list.

Also regarding Reach Toothbrushes, was so happy to see (even though it says limit 3) that it took off $ for all 4 toothbrushes.

Someone earlier in this post mentioned DONATING to the senior center. What a great idea, thanks so much for mentioning that. All should remember your local resources when purchasing those “moneymaker” items we will never use. Happy Shopping and thanks Christie!!

Stacie March 21, 2011 at 6:15 am

Do you not have to use a filler item to cover using 2 almay coupons on 1 product? I recall having trouble using 2 coupons before from a previous beauty guide but I am thinking using a filler solved the problem (can’t remember for sure). I know you usually don’t have to do that with Wags Q but because it does say MQ on it, I thought you had to.

Reply

Diann March 21, 2011 at 9:15 am

My cashier had the reach toothbrushes at the cosmetics counter so you might ask about those.

I got the $7.99 B1G1 Airwick Freshmatics with 2 – $4/1 MQ so these were totally free..yeah!!

I bought 5 of the Colgate Pro Clinical that were on clearance for $1.29 (and lots still in stock) and used 5 – $1/1 MQ that were in the Winter D&Y magazine. These MQ say Colgate Total but went thru with no beeps for me.

I haven’t seen the Spring Beauty Books yet πŸ™ but I got several Almay eye products at $5.99 (after 30% off) minus the $2/1 MQ plus the $5 RR was still a money maker.

The Suave RR and Garnier Fructis RR had not been working at my store earlier in the day…but when I checked out, they both printed just fine.

I have $25 RR to use for next week!!!

turns out it didn’t print, and it didn’t start unil 3/27 so manager was kind enough to print out an extra RR… but then it caused me to forget using my coupons and my almay coupon so I lost $3 for my scenario lol… oh well, I love having a great manager. thinking about making this particular wags my regular wags now. πŸ™‚

Does anyone know if the RR will still work if you only buy three of the Gillette razors for 29.97? I would not normally pay this much but a lady at my church wants to do the deal and I am helping her out with coupons and I want her to be prepared before she gets to the store.

I was at my local Walgreen’s yesterday and purchased the green Method hand soap. I didn’t notice it until I got home, but it rang up for $1.69 and still produced the $2 RR. I went to another Walgreen’s and it rang up for the advertised price of $2.99. So I am not sure why it rang up cheaper at one store and not the other, but thought some of you might want to try it out. This is a great week for me at Walgreen’s. Thank you so much Christie for your dedication to this website. It makes our shopping trips go much smoother.

I haven’t had much luck with transactions at my brand new Walgreens, but it’s probably because I’m a Wags newbie and not familiar with all their little quirks. I have ten $1.00 off 2 Mars Easter Products coupons. Since the Snickers eggs are 2/$1.00 am I going to have a problem going in and buying 20 eggs, using 10 coupons and only paying sales tax? Are they going to look at me like I’m a thief, or refuse to take my coupons, or call over a manager who will take me out to the parking lot and shoot me? I’d like to know ahead of time, as I have to drive 13 miles one way to get there, and that seems like a long way to go to get shot.

just buy something else with it like the plackers flossers. I could not find the snickers eggs at my store so I was bummed. but it’s a legit coupon for a correct item so they technically shouldn’t give you a hard time…

Thanks so much for all of your hard work! Got four mascaras yesterday and used both the MQ and Spring Coupon booklet. Last week they didn’t have it and the cashier took my number and called me later to say she had one for me – how nice is that! Also found lots of Reach toothbrushes but had used a bunch of my coupons last week – bummer!

I went today and purchased the Almay make up remover. I not only got the register reward but also got 5.00 off any Depend product. If anyone has those and wants to trade, I would LOVE these. My father who is a prostate cancer SURVIVOR, goes through 2 packs a week. This would be soooo helpful. Please and THANK YOU!!!!

Went to Wags today – I first had the cashier do a price check to see if the Almay face wipes and a bonus size of the eye make up remover were bogo. They rang up as bogo. I then did the transaction again with only the regular size eye make up removers, (there were no more of the face wipes or the bonus size eye make up removers). These did not ring up as bogo! It was the exact same product as the bonus size removers, but normal size.

I realized it after I paid…noticed that the cashier missed one of my $2 off wags q’s from the first transaction, because she had to manually put it in and only took one off. Then on the second transaction it didn’t ring up bogo. Manager was confused, sometimes they act like they know nothing about their own q’s. It seemed like I needed to pass an act by congress to get my $4 back, so I left. Cashier nor the manager could figure anything out =-( I’m over it!

I seriously doubt if they would let me walk out the store owing them $4, so why do they give us a hard time when they owe us?

I went to store 1: I only purchased ONE eye remover. used both coupons and confused the poor man. The manager had to come do it and got so frustrated. He told me that the coupons exceeded the total amount ($4 in coupons, $4.19 product) which it didn’t. So finally he just adjusted the price to $2.19 and deducted the mq.

So I decided to go to store 2 tonight. I purchased the eye makeup remover and eyeshadow. I had 2 MQs and one IVC, so should have taken $8 off the total. The checkout girl told me the IVC (which it STATES on the front of the coupon) is a MQ and I could not use both. There was no manager in the store so I just purchased both for $6.66 and left. I’ll go back on Wed to talk with a manager.

Yeah, the manager told me that the $2 Q from the Beauty Guide was a mfr and couldn’t be used with another Q.

I got 6 air wick automatic spray for free, they had tons, guess they stocked up for the sale. And then I did the deal with the almay makeup remover the coupons gave me a hard time.

They called a manager and he put his key right into the keypad and re rung the transaction and it took just fine. I did this twice to get 2 $5 RR. Paid .49 each transaction. At least they didn’t say I could not use both coupons. So I am happy!

I’ve used the almay Wags Q the previous week along with my manuf Q and had no problem at all they all rang just fine, but ohh boy this week every store has given me a hard time they all some how agreed that the wags Q cannot be used with the Manuf Q and only one store manager was kind about it didn’t throw a fit and price modified the product, but the only had 1 pk of make-up remover, but the rest of the stores I went thru I just could make the managers understand their own policy and decided to cancel the transaction (I really don’t need it anymore make-up remover but next week ad is not so great so I was trying to roll some of my RR’s) but that was my experience today I’m in Houston if that helps anyone πŸ˜›

I finally went out to get this deal today and every store I went to was still pretty fully stocked. I couldn’t believe it. After 3 stores I got 3 eye maker remover, 2 foundations, 1 eye shadow and each time these were either money makers or free. I think I’ll go back tomorrow and stock up for my niece in college.

Can I purchase ANY Almay product and get the $5 RR? I was hoping to pick up an eyeliner…

Don’t know if this was already mentioned somewhere, but my store was out of the Crystal clean toothbrushes too- but I noticed they had the Reach by Design on clearance for 1.09 and they still printed the 4 RR, also they had 2-packs on sale for 1.29, not sure if the RR will print, but w/ the Q, still a great deal to get 2 for .29!

As for Almay issue, I tested to see if coupons in Spring Beauty Booklet was Macufacture coupon. I used a coupon from Spring Beauty Booklet first, and the receipt shows “STR IVC”. When I used a coupon from newspaper insert, the receipt shows “MFG CPN”. It means that the coupon from Spring Beauty Guide booklet is Walgreens Store Coupon. I do not understand why Sales Associates denied to use both. Not pleasant experience. Did anyone contact corporate about this issue?

My WAGS used their coupon against the eye pad purchase but said my newspaper one didn’t qualify as it was for “cosmetics” not skin care. Never mind that the WAGS one form their beuty book had the exact same wording and it accepted that. I still paid $2.49 and got $5.00 back.

I just want to thank you for the Placker photo.

My local Walgreens also had them next to the popcorn
and munchies aisle. πŸ™‚

Strangely, only the mint flavour(green) ones are there…
the white ones remain in the toothbrush/paste aisle.. :)’

THANK! ! ! πŸ™‚
