Walgreens: Updates From the Field 2/26

by Christie Bisbee on February 26, 2012

Here are some updates from my shop to help your shop go a little easier.

BELVITA: It was feast or famine with the Belvita in my area. They were either a ton of them or none of them. Not exactly sure why that would be the case but I stopped into two stores that had at least 20 boxes each and two stores that had not one. Also, although the ad said 8ct it’s actually a 5ct package.

ULTIMATE FLORA: The Ultimate Flora rang up $24.99 everywhere. I’m sure it will get fixed but in the meantime it will require a price modification and all that goes along with that. So if you are going to purchase this item you may want to ask them to do a price check ahead of time. Hopefully it will get fixed quickly. Once it was modified it printed the $10 RR just fine.

BURT’S BEES: I don’t know if this is just a coincidence but it seems that the same stores that didn’t get the Belvita didn’t get the Burt’s Bees. There was either a ton or none at all.

POLIGRIP: If you have the booklet I wrote about HERE there is a coupon inside for $1/1 Poligrip with NO size restrictions. If you have it you can use it for a $1 Money Maker for the Poligrip.

COCA-COLA REGISTER REWARD DEAL: The Hershey’s Bliss was not included in the Coke Register Reward Deal. There were only signs on the actual 12pks of Coke products at my store so I’m still not sure exactly what Hershey’s products qualify. If you do the Buy (3) get a FREE Coke 8pk of the mini-cans deal, the mini-cans must be regular Coke.

If your store allows you to buy more than (3) of the 12pks then you can do the following deal. Again, the ad says limit 3 on the 12pks but the ad limits are at the stores discretion. My store had plenty and I mixed up my 12pks between Coke Zero, Diet Coke and Caffeine Free Diet. You will get a $5 RR WYB $15 or a $10 RR WYB $20.

***DEAL IDEA***
Buy (6) Coca-Cola Products 12pks 3/$13
(2) Coca-Cola 8pk minis (ring up as FREE gift after the 12pks)
Total = $26, Get Back $10 Register Reward
= $2 EACH

5 BLADE MEN’S RAZOR: If you are a member of the Walgreens Prescription Club, don’t forget to swipe your card if you purchase the 5 Blade Men’s Razor. You’ll earn .40 off your next purchase at Walgreens loaded onto your card!

***DEAL IDEA***
Buy (1) 5 Blade Men’s Razor $3.99
Total = $3.99, Get Back $3 RR + .40 on your Prescription Card (if you are a member)
= .59 EACH!

So, how was your shop? Find any great deals? Let us know! 🙂

I had the same problem with the Probiotic but they did a price adjustment. Everything else turned out as planned. I did get a huge SURPRISE – $2.00 RR on the Huggies Wipes Natural Care 72ct making them FREE!!

every stor in my area that did not have the belvita did not have the flora…one of my nice manag. said they did not get them but he was hoping they would be in the next shipment.

Reply

Rachel February 26, 2012 at 5:28 pm

My store had no Belvita either…

The Ultimate Flora also rang up 24.99…they switched it and the manager gave me a $10 gift card, b/c the RR did not print…

Beware…but if you have a nice staff and it’s not too busy they’ll take care of it no probz.

Judy February 26, 2012 at 5:37 pm

My store had lots of Belvita and Burt’s Bees, and the Ultmate flora rang up correctly at $10 with a $10 RR, and then I had the $3 printable coupon, so it was a good Walgreens trip for me! Also got 2 of the Cortaid that were BOGO, and then had a $3 MC which made them both free!

Lori hokit February 26, 2012 at 5:38 pm

My Store was out of Burts Bees, Belvita and The EternalBlu. I didn’t check on the Ultimate Flora But I am willing to guess they were out of that too.

Reply

Jessica M February 26, 2012 at 5:39 pm

Both the Burt’s Bees and Belvita were in the back at my store. The mgr said they had no room to put them out but they brought some out for me. I didn’t get the belvita because It wasn’t the 8 pack that was advertised, but now i see it was a mistake! Thanks!

does anyone know how i can get the baby care coupon booklet and the oral care booklet .they do not have in the 2 stores i went to .

Reply

Nathaniel February 27, 2012 at 12:55 pm

They are on display back by the prescription window. You might have to look on a wall display and find them along with health notices.

Dana February 27, 2012 at 3:07 pm

My stores have cardtables set up by the cosmetics check out with all of their available pamphlets and coupon books. Had to search out the Melvita, it was on an endcap by the front checkout; Q-Tips were moved as well to and endcap in cosmetics. Surprise: The Natrol Melatonin had a $1.00 off mfg. coupon stuck on the bottle.

My walgreens ad says nothing about a RR with the coke purchase, just 3/13 plus free mini cans.

Christie February 26, 2012 at 5:43 pm
Joan February 26, 2012 at 7:19 pm

Any idea if you would be able to use the rewards from mycokerewards.com and still get the RR?

Reply

Courtney February 26, 2012 at 10:12 pm

I used the mycokerewards coupons on 2 of them that i bought tody and my rr printed no problem.

Debby Till February 26, 2012 at 5:44 pm

I’m not understanding the coke scenario. I just bought 3 12 pks and got the minis as a free gift but no RR. Thanks for ur help.

Reply

Christie February 26, 2012 at 5:52 pm

Hi Debbie – You will need to spend $15 to get a $5 RR or $20 to get a $10 RR. The free product will not count towards your total. So your total was $2 short to get a RR. 🙁

Reply

margaret February 26, 2012 at 5:57 pm

my ultimate flora rang $24.99, had to get it price adjusted but the rr printed fine.
my store has at least 50 of the belvita in 2 flavors. they had tons of the burts bees, poligrip, melatonin and ultimate flora. They only had 2 of the on the go things and 3 eternal blue( did you see the regular price of that! wow!)

Also the stride gum, it was only certain packs that rang up .69 The cortaid was on sale, $2 off or so, I forgot the original price, and they were BOGO…I ended up with 8 using only 4 coupons 🙂

Reply

Rachel February 26, 2012 at 6:02 pm

I had no problem getting (6) Coke 12 packs (3 regular, 3 coke zero) and then got (2) free mini Coke 8 packs. I tried the mini Coke zero but the cashier let me know it was only regular. Wish there wasn’t a CRV on every pack (darn California!).

Reply

JoAnn February 26, 2012 at 6:02 pm

No belvita, but plenty of burt’s bees. got 4 taster’s choice and $3RR did print for me. Skipped the Coke deal because there was no signage and was running low on time. Got last 2 Cortaid, rang up $2.99 instead of $3.99. Good day overall.

Reply

Becky M. February 26, 2012 at 6:10 pm

We couldn’t find the Belvita anywhere at our wags today. There were plenty of the Flora and Burts Bees but only a couple of the melatonin and On the go packets. Didn’t look for the other things.
NONE of the items were tagged though. Including the Glade Expressions. Kind of aggravating when you have to look at the ad to double check you wrote the right thing down.

Reply

Becky February 26, 2012 at 6:37 pm

I was so irritated at my Wags today. There were 3 women with at least 8 of each of the free items in their cart. I hate that there are people out there making sure that no one else can do the deals. I hope that they are giving to charity but I have a feeling they are reselling at garage sales. GRRRR…. I wish my Walgreens would set limits.

Reply

CouponHolder February 27, 2012 at 5:00 am

For those that love limits, shop at RiteAid and CVS. The limits are tied to your store cards. For many of us it is not a ‘deal’ to run to one store to buy 2 items, then to another to buy 2 more. In CA we are paying well over $4 for gas. Your problem should not be with a few shoppers getting 8 transactions. Your problem should be with the store that does not order enough of the sale items. We already know several stores that ordered ‘a few’ extra of sale items, and several stores that ordered DOZENS AND DOZENS. Those shoppers that want ‘a lot’ (I know, what’s a lot?) talk to the manager about placing a special order just for you. I’ve had a manager order 50 (or more) of an item just for me and not touch the stock on the shelf.

Reply

mary @4our2cents February 28, 2012 at 1:45 pm

well maybe limits are coming….I was at my usual store today. I have always been able to do multiple transactions for RR deals. Today I had 3 Belvita (my store had plenty and I never clear a shelf!). The cashier told me the limit was one per PERSON. I asked to see where it said that, she showed me where it says “one RR per offer”. I explained that in the past that has meant per transaction not person. She said all the other cashiers I have gone to are wrong. Ugh. I agree it helps to limit the hoarder/shelf clearing, but it also really screwed up my trip! 😉 I wish they would make the wording less vauge. Christie, what are your thought on this? Have you heard of them changing to limit the RR transactions?

Reply

Christie February 28, 2012 at 10:37 pm

I think that we should expect to see some kind of loyalty card eventually that will impose limits. If I was a betting woman that’s what I’d put my money on.

Angela February 26, 2012 at 6:37 pm

I had the same issue with the probiotic but both stores I went to just did the price modification, and the RR printed out just fine. One of my stores was out of EternalBlu, and the manager wrote me a raincheck for it, to include a $10 RR (I assume she will just give me a giftcard when the time comes). Belvita was at both stores I went to. Burts Bees was at both stores I went to. Melatonin was at both, the drink packets were at both. Great ad this week! I still have a lot of items left to get, but I was low on time. OH, I don’t know if anyone else had tearpads in their store for $1.00 off any Sobe lifewater, any flavor? I did, and this week the Sobe was on sale for 99 cents, so I got a bunch of them for free! It was great.

Isabel February 26, 2012 at 6:37 pm

I went to my first wags and bought 2 lil critter gummies the 1st one rang up at 6.99 and the 2nd rang up as $0. I did find bellavita no restrictions they were stocking a shelf.

Reply

Kristin February 26, 2012 at 6:54 pm

My Ultimate Flora rang up $24.99 but they did a price adjustment, and the RR printed. I wasn’t interested in the Belvita so I didn’t check on it, but was able to get some Burt’s Bees, Melatonin (my husband LOVES this brand… hitting up a few more Wags to get more), and got some EternalBlu. I hadn’t been out couponing in awhile so this was a fun trip!

Reply

Emily February 26, 2012 at 7:39 pm

I went to 3 stores and none of them wanted to give me anything for the probiotic. I bought it and had to have the transaction voided because it wouldnt give me the RR. And yes it happened to all 3 stores in my area(Round Rock, Texas)I even argued they must call corporate because it’s literally false advertising but not one of them budged. Why do I have to deal with these lazy managers?

Reply

JJ February 26, 2012 at 10:33 pm

I went to the WAGS in Round Rock that is off of 79 right past Sunrise, near the soccer fields. They priced modified with no problems and just did it without me saying anything. I went at about 1:30pm. Maybe try that location?!

Emily February 27, 2012 at 9:59 am

HI!!!! Im so excited you replied 😀 I grin from ear to ear when I see fellow couponers in the store 🙂

Reply

MeliB February 26, 2012 at 8:07 pm

On the Flora Probiotic – you HAVE to make sure that you get the 15 billion and not the 30 billion. I made that mistake and had to void the transaction. RR will ONLY print on the 15 bil. At my store they have them spread out between the digestive isle and the supplement isle.

Reply

MoneySavingCouponGal February 26, 2012 at 8:17 pm

I went to buy the Ultimate Flora today and it rang up for $24.99 so cashier called the Mgr. She called someone on the phone and then went in the back. She came back and said the box I had was different in the right top corner (I had the same one you show in your pic) from the pic in their sales ad. So she gave me one for free (didn’t get to use my coupon) and said I could only buy one. After I paid the RR printed. She told the cashier to just give it to me. So I’m going to take a pic of this to show them that they just need to do a price adjustment which is what I said but they didn’t believe me.

Reply

Holly February 26, 2012 at 8:55 pm

My local store only had 3 Burt’s Bees remaining (and I came in before 12noon). I noticed that the ad says 21 count (also it said it on the price tag) but the bags say 20 ct. Luckly, the RR still printed.

I guess misprint are popular this week at Wags! lol

cheryl February 26, 2012 at 9:23 pm

can you post the codes for the oral care coupon book? i am able to use just the codes at the walgreens i go to

Amanda February 26, 2012 at 9:44 pm

Is it just on coke products, anyone think this would work on sprite.??

Reply

Lynn February 26, 2012 at 9:49 pm

I bought 1 sprite 12 pack, 2 coke 12 pk, 2 stand up bags of Hershey pieces and the 8 pk mini.
12 pk+ 3/$13
stand up bag= 2/$7
-$1/2 for hershey stand up bag (not sure what insert it was because i had it in my binder already)
8pk mini= free
*****with this scenario my total after coupons was $19 so i was expecting a $5RR but to my surprise a got a $10RR!!!! It worked for me!!!!!

FYI The register reward has courtesy of Hershey’s, Coca Cola, and Kraft Foods

Also wanted you to know that there was signage by the Hershey stand up bags and the Coke 12pks only at my store (I’m in Southeast Missouri)…Not sure what other products are included in this deal..HTH

Oh I forgot to mention My store has signs up by all the RR items that states, “Limit one” (except the coke deal) and on all the BOGO items it states limit 2.

Guest February 26, 2012 at 10:37 pm

Save the Coke deal for next week guys! Coke will be on sale 3/$10 (essentially 6/$20) and then 6/$10 after the RR! 🙂

VB February 27, 2012 at 12:08 am

Is the coke deal a monthlty RR?

Reply

Andrew February 27, 2012 at 12:19 am

My store only had the Melatonin and Ultimate Flora left.

Made a special order and 10 of the on-the-go’s and Ultimate floras are coming on Tuesday for me to roll.

Good luck everyone!!

Melanie February 27, 2012 at 12:21 am

My Wags had the children’s Advil 2/$8.73. I used the infant care book (deducts $4) and I had some $2 peelies, so I got 2 bottles for $.73! Woohoo!!!
I think there is also a $1/1 that could be used too with the infant care book, which would make them $2.73/2(1.36 ea)-still a great deal.

I wish their was a review section for products?

Never tried any of these products before.

My children and I tried the blueberry Belvita yesterday and all of us loved them. They seem more like breakfast cookies to me! Very tasty. The kids loved that there were 4 cookies in each serving package.

They taste almost just like the Newtons fruit thins cookies to me. Yummy!

Had to work today so didn’t get to WAGS until 4:00. They were out of the Nivea lip care and the Glade Expressions kit. But I did manage to get the Ultimate Flora, Burt’s Bees, Poligrip, Baby Magic powder, Trident Gum, and Taster’s Choice. Did the Baby magic rebate online. First time doing it that way–cool!

Reply

Diane February 27, 2012 at 5:33 am

On a non-couponing subject, a gentleman at WAGS today came up to me and asked if I could help him in the feminine aisle. He was trying to find pads for his wife. She had even sent along the front panel of the box so he would get the right ones! We looked and looked but couldn’t find them. He asked if he called his wife, would I talk to her. He was afraid she wouldn’t like the kind he bought and then he would have to make a return trip. So I talked to his wife and we came up with an alternate choice. She and I both laughed about discussing feminine products with a complete stranger. I told her how lucky she was to have a husband willing to brave that aisle! LOL–this made my day!

Christie February 27, 2012 at 9:26 am

What a great story! and great of you to help!

Kim February 27, 2012 at 10:32 am

I had issues with the Nivea lip care. I found some in the lip care aisle alongside Carmex that didn’t work on the RR – but my wonderful manager did an override. The ones found in the aisle near the lotion worked fine.

BTW, this is one of my favorite lip products. I have an addiction to lip balm, and the Nivea and the Simply brands sold at Wags are my faves.

Reply

H February 27, 2012 at 1:01 pm

I also had an issue with the Nivea, turns out only the one pictured in the ad, the shimmer pink tube, is producing the RR even though it doesn’t state that it is that variety only. I bought the honey and milk one and had to return it.

Reply

JoAnn February 27, 2012 at 5:07 pm

The blue one triggers the $2RR also. Kiss of Smoothness. Those are one of my faves, too!

Thanks ladies, I’ll be sure to try the blueberry.

Cindy February 27, 2012 at 3:32 pm

I don’t know if anyone else found this deal but, thought I would share. My wags had listerine total care zero for 2.99. After I bought the first bottle it printed a 2.00/1 Catalina for the same exact thing. So, I got another & the Catalina seems to be rolling for every one you buy & use the Catalina on it prints another! 🙂

Rachel February 27, 2012 at 4:04 pm

My store had the Burt’s bees…This morning at the gym I was actually able to find an October Shape magazine with the $1.50/1 Burts Bees Item – but when it scanned they said it was expired…although there was no expiration date on the coupon 🙁 Just a heads up if you try to use one.

Reply

Jeff February 27, 2012 at 8:19 pm

If you’re curious what products might be included in the Coke Hershey Planters Nabisco deal, it appears CVS is running a similar promo (same brands) the week of 3/11. You can see the flyer over at iheartcvs under the weekly section.
