Now for the fun part, let’s see what you picked up this week!

Christie, can you explain the Always coupon/deal you did a little bit? I’m confused about what price they were, did your cashier just enter in $5 not looking at how much they actually were? ($3 something?) OR did the register just automatically take off $5?
I have 3 of these and I’m trying to figure out what my total will be when using them in my scenario…and should I buy 4 instead of 3 for the bogo 50% sale?
I’m always amazed at how much you spend on so much! I tend to do my shopping in bigger trans. and I think that hurts me sometimes! Thanks for all your help!
Okay, figured it out by myself, the $5.24 was price plus 50%. I was thinking this was a mm for you in your tran, but you got them free!

Hi Christie….just LOVE your site! I had a quick question…I tried to do the Colgate deal twice (2 transactions). But the second time, my RR didn’t print. The cashier told me it was because I paid for them with my first transactions RR and therefore that causes you not to be able to do the deal again. Is this right? THANKS! π
Kristi – If you used the $3.50 RR from Colgate to buy another Colgate then it won’t print. If you use any other RR though you should be ok. π
Wish there would be more Hidden Arch Supports at my store! I’m guessing that they learned it was a $5 MM and pulled them out. At that store, the last time the Neutrogena bar was a MM, there was only (1) bar left on the shelf. And when its MM week was over, a lot of the bars, as in a lot, reappeared on the shelf. π
Based on your trials/experiments experience, I’ve noticed that most of the specified on sale items and RR items (pictured/mentioned on Ads paper) which have the July Wags Booklet coupons for them, the July Booklet coupons are not scanning. I think, Wags has learned to program their registers this way to avoid MMs for couponers. What do you think? :I But then, they did not know that someone can still go around on this so I think, it will be after the MM week is over that I would see more of the Hidden Arch Supports at my store. π
Hi, Christie! I am link #6. I am loving some Wags lately! π
CG, I agree with you about them hiding stuff. A few weeks ago when they had the 4 day sale, I went in to get my deals and management was unaware of the sale (or so I was told). I then made the mistake of telling management I would me back the next day for the reach toothbrushes. I went back the next day and there were only 2 on the shelf and was told there were none in the stockroom. I then called back later that night, (when the previous managers were gone) and was told they had some. I went back and found 12 of them had somehow made there way back to the shelf.
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the Linkup I’m #10
Hi Christie,
So I bought 2 Hidden Arch Supports ($7.99 each) but after trying one found that I didn’t really like it so much. Is it possible to exchange the other unused arch supports for the more expensive shoe orthotic (the full shoe support for $12) and just pay the difference? I wasn’t sure what would happen since I used a $2 off MQ, July IVC, and got a RR for the purchase. Will the store only refund me $0.99 and will the store still get reimbursed by the manufacturer for the coupons? Will I have to return the RR? Sorry, I guess I’m just trying to understand the coupon world. Thanks for your time and help.
The store already sent off the coupon to get reimbursed so they’ll get their $2 from the Manuf.. You should be able to get a credit towards a different product for the full amount (minus the store $5 coupon) so like $6 approx. I’d bring the RR with you in case they want to take that one back and give you the RR from the new transaction when you buy the one you want.
I’m link #11, so happy for a good week! π

Anyone out there that can help me. I did the Dr. Schols deal with archs
Buy 2 use (2) $2 off MFQ, use Wags July booklet for $5 off. It should take $10 off.
I did this deal twice early last week and it worked beautifully.
I tried it at 3 different stores over the weekend and every time it would only take $5 off one now. The coupon reads, one item per offer. The cashiers were great and tried over and over, but it would not work.
Did Walgreens catch this and shut it off? Anyone have any ideas? I would appreciate your help.
