Walgreens - Surprise Catalina when U by Kotex Tampons Purchased

Reader Allison passed on this great info.

When Allison bought U by Kotex tampons, she received a surprise Catalina coupon for a FREE box of Playtex tampons.


:: Allison's Transaction ::

purchased:
(1) U by Kotex Tampons - $3.50
used:
(1) U by Kotex coupon (8/8/10 SS or HERE) -$1.00
Walgreens U by Kotex coupon in August Coupon book -$2.00
pad: $0.50 + tax
received: Catalina coupon for FREE box of Playtex tampons!

Allison also purchased Kotex Security tampons, but did not get a Playtex coupon for with that purchase. Has anyone else receive the Playtex coupon for a free product? If you did, what did you purchase?

  1. Yes! I also bought u by Kotex tampons and got the surprise catalina...

    There's also a secret deoderant on clearance for $2.29 that produces a $3 RR that ROLLS! The price tag on the shelf says price less $3 RR. Better hurry on this one.

  2. Hi Liz - Woo Hoo! Thanks for the info. I'm afraid to post about the secret, because the store might be wiped out before anyone can get there.

  3. If you buy the Schick razor at some stores there is a coupon on them that you get a free shaving cream. I scored cheap razor and free shaving cream. Yipee!!! I bought the U by Kotex but I didn't get the catalina. But I did get the secret deodorant. Some stores have not put them at the clearance price.

  4. I just bought 6 boxes of the 18 ct. tampons and received the free Playtex coupon too. I wish I had done the transactions seperately now! LOL

  5. Our store in Manchester did not have the Secret on clearance.

  6. Hi Lynda & Kelly - Thanks for the updates. I'll have to look for the Razor w/ coupon on the package.

    Hi Krista - If I were you, I think I would take the tampons back and explain to them exactly why you want to return and then rebuy them.

  8. I got one at the Tesson Ferry Walgreens across from St. Anthony's.

    Kelly...did you get all the Secret @ Telegraph and Erb? I went after work today and they had nothing there, the Arnold store (Tenbrook) or the Telegraph (by the library)either.

    Just did a scouting trip for the Secret - purchased 6 for myself and left 12 on the shelves at the Twin Oaks WAGS (right in front of the Twin Oaks Schnucks.)

  14. Today in St. Charles, I did not get the FREE catalina coupon.... I purchased 2 Kotex tampons and 2 Kotex pads.

  15. I didn't get the freebie catalina with the U by Kotex.

    I DID find the deodorant at the Gravois Bluffs Walgreens, and I did leave some behind.

  16. I got the free catalina at Wags on Gravois and Sappington.

    The cashier was confused when I bought a pack of pull ups, shave cream, tampons and a folder and my total was .93. Love it. I think I'll go back later for more tampons. They had thesigns for the Secret DO on clearance with RR but it was sold out.

  17. Hi Marcella - Great job! It is so fun to pay with pocket change.

  18. Anyone know if you have to purchase two of the U by Kotex to get the Playtex catalina or if purchasing just one will trigger it?

    I purchased one (but it needs to be the U by Kotex Tampons - not pads and not just regular Kotex brand)

    Also, I think they pulled the $3 Cat on the Clearance Secret. It didn't print for me at the WAGS in Columbia, IL. The manager said that they probably pulled it b/c it was producing an overage. I just returned the one I bought. Not interested if no RR.

  20. Thanks, Kelly for the clarification of how many boxes of U by Kotex were producing the Playtex coupons.

    I've also heard the Secret RR was pulled on the clearance Secret.
