  1. I went easy at Wags today. Bought 2 Benadryl creams for $3.99 each and Peeps for .37 (my monthly filler of choice, used a $5/2 Benadryl MQ and $2.50 RR and paid .88 OOP. Also got a free first aid case filled with high value coupons (Bandaids, Benadryl, J&J, Neosporin, etc) for buying the Benadryl.

  2. CJ-You had mentioned on an earlier post that people aren't receiving the RR on the Benadryl when using the MQ. Did you get the RR?

  3. Courtney - I didnt try the Benadryl pills deal, thats the one where the coupon prevents the RR from printing. The coupon works fine with the Benadryl cream deal because there is no RR for that, just sale price and the free first aid case.

  4. Hi CJ - Are the coupon in the first aid case worth good ones with long expiration dates?

  5. I tried the sudafed and the 5 RR did not print. I talked to the manager and he went ahead and printed it out for me. I read somewhere else that the 5 coupon I used is making it not print out. That is a first that I can remember. Anyone else ever have that happen?

  6. Hi Lynda - I've read on forums that everyone is having problems using the $5 off 2 coupon and getting a RR to print. It has something to do with the coding of the coupons. You were lucky to have a good manager to work with.
