  1. Will the register beep on Trans #5 since you're technically using 3 "coupons"? You could just not use the coupone for the pencil and it would only make your OOP $0.13 higher.

  2. Courtney - For some reason Walgreens store coupons don't count as coupons. You don't have to include them in your manufacturer coupon/product count. From my understanding, Walgreens coupons are looked as price reductions and not coupons.

  6. I'm looking for plastic bowls with a palm tree on them that were sold at Walgreens this summer. They were on clearance at the Crestwood store last week for .25 and now all gone. Cant find them at other area Wags either. If anyone sees them at their Wags, please post here or post a comment on my blog. Thanks!

  7. CJ - I'll be on the look out. Whre did you find them at in the store? On the back end cap or in a regular aisle?

  8. Jeri - They were in one of the middle aisles with other summer items. Probably all gone now that they have all the Halloween stuff out. But thanks for keeping an eye out!

  9. At one Wags, there was a 'Robitussin To Go 2 count' display near the register that states a RR for the cost ($2.49) will be printed out. The $2.00 coupon on the Wyeth web site isn't good on this product. Rolling an RR on this item for a fresh date might be an idea, provided that promo goes beyond Saturday.

  10. Robitussin to Go 2 pack are advertised as FREE after RR for this coming week.
