Here are some updates from my trip today. Hopefully these will help your trip run smoother.
GAIN DEAL
Notice anything? Thats a big old empty spot where the Gain should be! This is what greeted me today at one of the stores I stopped in. At my usual store they only had (2)! I mean, seriously?! I ended up stopping at quite a few stores and the most I found at any store was 6. If you don’t find the Gain at your store I suggest you ask when your store gets its next shipment in and you also get a rebate just in case you need it.
Some of the stores had the Gain priced at $1.79 and others at $1.99 but either way it worked with the Manufacturer coupon and the IVC coupon.

TRIDENT DEAL
The Trident rang up for me at a $1 instead of $1.29 today but the deal still worked with no problems using both the in-ad Q and the coupon from the September coupon book. And I confirmed that it doesn’t matter if you give the Sept. coupon book coupon before or after the in-ad coupon. I tried both ways and they both took off the correct amount. As long as you give the MQ FIRST.
And if you buy the gum today Trident will donate $0.05 to Smiles Across America for each pack sold. FREE gum and you help a good cause, can’t beat that! (-Thanks Gina!)

AIR WICK DEAL
The Airwick icompact was ringing up 50% off. In past sales sometimes the icompact does and sometimes it doesn’t. This is great news since you can use the -$4/1 Air Wick Freshmatic Compact i-motion Starter Kit, Any – 08-29-10 SS to get it FREE!
Since at some stores this will ring up for $3.99 I strongly suggest you bring the coupon policy from HERE with you. It’s pretty clear Walgreens put out a policy but didn’t bother to educate it’s staff about it. The policy states the coupon should be adjusted down. If your store doesn’t “get it” you can also have them price modify by a penny to $4.

Thanks for being such a trooper and going out to Walgreens despite your accident!! I sincerely hope you are feeling better. One quick question–do you know if the compact i-motion with the oil is ringing at 1/2 off, or just the compact i-motion spray? I have Q’s for both. Thanks! 🙂
Ali – Thanks! I didn’t try the one with oil. I just tried the spray, so bring your coupons for both just in case and let us know how it goes.
I bought both kinds, both 50% off
Thanks for the scenerios Christie!
Do you think someone came in and cleared the shelves before you on the Gain deal? Or do you think the store just didn’t stock them yet? My store must have had at least 20 of each scent.
I spoke to the store manager at that store who said they only got 4. So I think they just didn’t get enough.
None of the Walgreens in NW Indiana have the Gain. There isn’t even a slot for it. I’ve looked since the $1 coupon came out a few weeks ago.
OMG Christie!!!! Are you out working already girl!!! You’re awesome!! Thanks God that we have you working the deals for all of us!! Overall thanks God that you’re OK!!!
I went to three different Walgreens. Two had them for $3.99. One store refused to change the coupon or change the item price. One of them adjusted the price up to $4 and then did the coupon. The last Walgreens had them at $4.24 so I paid 58 cents for it. I had three coupons that expired today so I had to do all three of them. I have two more to do this week. I love these so I am thrilled they are on sale again!
The Walgreens I work at only had 5 to begin with. They are a brand new item and we only received 5… We don’t even have a mylar (price) on the shelf for it yet since we had to clearance out a different brand in order to make room for it.
I was at Walgreens this evening and my shelf looked exactly like the picture that Christie posted. Imagine that. LOL I only went to the one store though. Didn’t need it bad enough to go check another one.
I went to walgreens this morning, not the one I usually go to and on the self, they were out of the lavender scent… but they had the regular one… however, they had no signs for the 0.89 price… we are included in the “pilot” program where the coupons are actually loaded in the walgreens rewards card, so no need to cut up the ones from the add. I feared they wouldnt ring at 0.89 since the sign wasnt there, but they did. I got 3(that was the limit on my add) and used 3×1.00 coupons, I added some halloween tattoes for my son and paid less than a dollar for all of it.
What really surprised me was that next to it, there were the joy dishsoap and they DID have the sign… Im wondering if this is some kind of “trick” for people to not believe that it is on sale and end up not buying it… which IMHO would be really sad for walgreens to resort to that kind of things.
I just came from Wags and had no luck finding any Gain either!
Gain is still .97 at my Walmart so after I went to Walgreens to get my 3 I headed to Walmart to pick up some more.
I went last night to pick up the free Gain and had to ask the manager where it was. He went in the back and found 4 bottles. Limit is 3 but he told me I could have all four. Woo hoo! That was so nice of him. I love FREE! 🙂
Nadah at my store. One store didn’t even have a spot for it and the other had empty shelves.
There was 1 Gain at our WAGS in Lake Stevens/WA and they said they only had 4 to start with. I did the gum scenario and she scanned the ad coupon, man Q then booklet Q and what do ya know I walked out getting paid $0.39 for 9 packs of gum (I did leave a bunch there).
One of the stores close to me didn’t even have a shelf space for it, but another store (less than 5 minutes drive) had about 20.
I got the worst cashier possible. She started my 1st transaction by saying she didn’t think the wags q for trident because I already had a lot of q’s. I answered by saying yeah but I also have a lot of gum : ) So next transaction she said she couldn’t take my $3 mq for deodorant because I wasn’t buying 2 since one was free. I told her the policy says you can & asked her to check but she flatout refused so I took my q back and voided the items and she got visibly mad then practically threw my card on the counter. What should I do?
Call corporate and that number that says “how are we doing” on your receipt. Let ’em know exactly how they are doing!
I have been to 2 walgreens near my house both out of Gain. They got very little in the shipment because it is new. After reading about it here I have been very eager to try it. The second store I went to was really nice and gave their apologies for not having it. So they offered me a rain check without me asking. I didn’t even know they did rain checks. They get shipments in on Thursdays and didn’t get any in todays shipment. Will wait for next weeks shipment. Hope other people can get rain checks too.
Be sure to check in before the coupon expires on 9/30 to see if their shipment came in! 🙂
Even better, he said I didn’t need the coupon at all but still get it for that price! I can’t wait to try!
