REACH DEAL
My store was was pretty low on the Reach toothbrushes but there was plenty of floss. I heard a couple of people had come in and bought quite a few this morning. I guess it’s hard to say no to FREE toothbrushes. 😉
I’m picking them up for donation baskets so I hope I have more luck at another store! If you do this deal just remember to give the MQ first and THEN the Wags Q! Otherwise you’ll have beeping due to the $.01 and no one wants that!
Reach Floss 55 yds., Crystal Clean Toothbrush $.99 (w/in ad Q)
-$1/1 REACH Toothbrush, Any PRINT
-$1/1 REACH Floss, Any PRINT

SIMILASAN KIDS COUGH RELIEF
There was very low supply for this at my store. I don’t know if they had more hiding somewhere but I couldn’t find more than one bottle to save my life. I only need one but I hate taking the last one of something. So, if this is something you need just be aware you might not find a lot of it. (Or maybe it was just my store? Hard to say.)

on the reach toothbrushes or anything that is free get to know the store manager. I went in to my local store and started chatting with
the manager. after a while of talking about different blog sites, she offered that any time i needed a lot of one item to let her know and she can order it. so that is what i did for the reach toothbrush and the ricola cough drops.
I went into the store for the newspaper because it is 2.85 for the 2 pack instead of 3.00. (the young guy gave me an extra set of inserts because a gentleman only wanted the sports section and left everything else at the store. 🙂 🙂
Well I decided to get the toothbrushes, hey free right?
There were no toothbrushes left. When I went to pay I see a lady with her two young daughters. Each of them had 3 toothbrushes in their hands. It was actually comical. Mom paid for all them?? Talk about honest couponing.
I went and bought $15 worth of Garnier Fructis product for the $5 RR and then I also got the Schick Razors to get the $3 RR. I used coupons for all the products I bought and no RR printed out. The Walgreens Asst Manager told me it was because I had used coupons for the products. I told her that I never had a problem before using coupons and then getting the RR deal as well, but she said there they changed it now – so no RR if you use coupons. Is this true? My Walgreens people have always been very rude whenever I go in and snag a great deal – so I was wondering if they just said this to get me to leave.
Ann that is NOT true. I had 6 RR and I bought some glad trash bags today just to get rid of them. I had the 6 from the Zarbees cough medicine that was a no brainer but other than that I don’t do Walgreens. I get angry every time I leave there.
Ann – I had no problems with my RR printing after using Qs today. I would contact corporate.
I went in specifically to get the contact lens solution. They only had two of the packs in the entire store and didn’t know when they would get more.
There were plenty of the Reach toohbrushes and dental floss at my store AND a coupon for a $1.00 off any Reach dental floss printed. Going back tomorrow 🙂
For the Reach, etc., get a raincheck if there are no RRs involved. Then, you can at least get something when they restock. Walgreens needs to figure out how to print RRs when the customer uses a raincheck like CVS has been doing for a long time.
When I was at one of the local Wags stores on Saturday, they had a lot of Reach floss but hardly any toothbrushes. I mentioned that to the lady at the cosmetics counter. She knows me well and I always let her check me out. She said the girl who does the ordering never orders enough of the sale merchandise. ):
On Saturday, I got a catalina for $2.00 off any Reach floss. The 100 yd. size is $2.49. The catalina printed when I bought Crest Oral-B floss that was on sale for $2.99 and you got back $1 RR. J&J obviously wants to try to convert me to their floss.
My store never has anything in stock. Its always come back Thursday, then they haven’t unloaded stock yet, then Friday morning, they still don’t have anything. I live in a small town and the store is never busy. So fed up with Walgreens!
On the bright side, my cashier offered to go in back and get the chocolate chips for me. (They weren’t shelved yet.) I find all three of the Wags near me to be pretty helpful.
Cashier refused to let me use the coupon from the Everything Bright and Beautiful booklet on the Neutrogena cosmetics because she said it was a mfr coupon and I could not use two mfr coupons.
I must say the Walgreens employees are aggravating and raising my blood pressure every Sunday!
@Ann please don’t group us into one group. That’s like saying you have a Australian neighbor you hate so “Australians aggravate you”. There are some nice cashiers out there like me who like my job! Thank you!
Sorry about that. There are many nice cashiers, I must agree. But let me be more specific, the Walgreens cashiers at MY location aggravate me.
@Ann It’s fine and I’m sorry they’re not nice! Move over here 😀 haha.
Gosh, I wish you were my cashier! My Sundays would be a lot happier! haha
Wags trip today/ 6 toothbrushes, 5 dental floss, 1 box nutri-grain bars, and 1 pack shick razors. 38 cents before taxes. Got back 3 rr from razors.
my friend went to a wlgrns to get just the two tooth brushes and she had two MFR Qs and the in-ad coupon. the beeping continued no matter in what order the cashier was trying to scan them, at some point it did take it, but the total was over a dollar instead of 20c., then they called an assistant manager, he said she cant use three coupons and refused to help her, was VERY rude and insulting.
i think EVERY one who had\has\will have problems should contact corporate and make them solve the problems in each store. They don’t teach them to work with the coupons, only when we complain – certain stores become very coupon friendly!
I agree with Milla! I just went and picked up two Neutrogena Moisture Shine lip soothers. They were $6.99, buy one get one 50%.
I used Walgreens beauty book $2 coupon and TRIED to use two $3 Neutrogena coupons.
The total was:
13.98
-3.49 for the buy one, get one 50% off
-4.00 for the Walgreens beauty coupon, took $2 off each one
-3.00 first Neutrogena coupon
Balance due 3.49. The cashier would not let me use the second $3 Neutrogena coupon. I think it may be because they took the $2 Walgreens coupon off the 50% one making it 1.50. She said she couldn’t take the $3 off since it exceeded the product value.
I haven’t had this problem before. Has anyone else? I did hand over the 2 Neutrogena $3 coupons first, then the Walgreens $2 one.
April – Your cashier was just being difficult. The register would have taken them off.
I got 6 packages of Reach floss yesterday, handed over my 6 $1/1 coupons and then handed over my in-ad coupon. The Wags coupon only took off $4.00 when I was thinking it would take off an adjusted $4.74 (6 x $.79). It looks like it took off 80 cents for 5 of the flosses (is that a word?) and didn’t adjust. There was a line forming behind me and I didn’t want to push my luck. I’d already educated the cashier about my coupon count not being over my item count. So I paid $.74 for 6 packages of floss. Not bad.
My question is…. do I have to ask for an adjustment? I thought it would have been automatic.
Cathy – You have to add something else into the mix in order for the overage to apply to something, otherwise the walgreens coupon does weird things! So since you bought 6 flosses you needed an extra 6 cents of something in order for it to have taken 6 dollars off!
I think I WILL bunch up the cashiers in my area (3 stores in all) as hot heads! I wonder if they feel as if we are stealing or if the coupons are coming out of their paychecks????
Rosy, that’s exactly it they act as if the coupon discounts are coming out of their pockets, it truly is aggravating! Even more so when the very same store has a different “policy” every time you go in. Yes we take internet coupons, no we don’t take internet coupons. WHICH IS IT?????
Just some FYI…I bought a (4) pack of Kleenex today and used the 50 cent coupon from the Nov coupon bood and a 50 cent MF coupon and it printed $1 RR 🙂 Yay me!!!
I actually had a GOOD Walgreen’s cashier experience today. Maybe it was because I was at one I rarely go to. She was actually LOOKING for people to ring up! I never see that happen. I was able to do the Schick deal (with $3 off coupon), got a Renuzit (coupon plus in ad coupon), one Reach tooth brushe (one man. coupon), two Reach flosses (two man. coupons and the in-ad coupon) and tossed in two Libby’s pumpkin cans (in ad coupon). Got my RRs and was on my way!
My cashier was awesome! When I handed her my huge stack of coupons, she started raving about all of her favorite coupon sites and said how her and her boss have a friendly competition going as to who can get the best deals. Plus, they get to throw in employee discounts on top of all that!
I love my Walgreens cashiers too! My favorite one gets the biggest kick out of seeing all of the deals
I score each week and he doesn’t mind splitting up transactions.
The other day I had to run in really quick to get some stickers for one of my sons and he was shocked because I didn’t use any coupons and I didn’t get any register rewards! 😉
I stopped at two walgreens. Both of my cashiers were awesome. On both stops they let me buy more than 3 of the toothbrushes and floss. One of the coupons beeped, darn it, so I lost a little money but paying only $1.39 for three nivea chap sticks (rain check), 5 floss and 2 toothbrushes was still an awesome deal so I didnt want to question it! On the second walgreens I got baking powder, cornstarch, 3 corn muffin mixes, 3 toothbrushes and 3 floss. I was sure to hand over the manufacture coupons first this time and no beeps 🙂 I paid $2.33 on the second stop.
