Tried the Arnicare coupon 3 different times and it beeped.The cashiers scanned and punched it in with the same results.Happening to anybody else?
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing amount of items for under $5! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteHi All,
ReplyDeleteAnonymous--I am thinking the coding is incorrect on the coupon causing the beeps. HTH I have/will not use a pdf but I have been told the -$1.50 coupon inside the boxes also beep. =)
Hi All - Yes, I've read on forums that eveyones Arnicare coupons are beeping.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mrs. Fisher!
I did not see the $1 nestle in ad coupon. I can only find the .39 one. I also dont see the valentine bag/pencil for .36. I only see a 8/$1. I have looked at the add a million times
ReplyDeleteI also couldn't find the Nestle coupon for $1. I checked both the Weekly ad as well as the Feb Savings Book.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great scenario and I'm hoping to give it a try this week!
Hi Anonymous & Anne - The Nestle $0.39 coupon is the one refrenced in my scneario. The price on the coupon is the price of the product after the coupons. The coupons will deduct $0.50 per Nestle candy bar pruchased.
ReplyDeleteSame with the Pencil/cup. The 8/$1 coupon will deduct will dedcut $0.13 per item purchased.
Sorry about the confusion.
Ok,thanks! By the way, I've only recently starting shopping at Walgreens and was wondering if you're allowed to do all of these transactions simultaneously or do you have to go to the end of the line each time?
ReplyDeleteAlso, can you use the RR at a different Walgreens or does it have to be used at the one you got it from?
Thanks!
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI have a blink eye drop coupon for a dollar off. Can I used it and if so, do I have to add extra things to my cart?
also where is the 39 cents coupon
ReplyDeleteAnne - I alwasy check out at the beauty counter. That checkout is not as busy as up front and they don't seem to mind back to back transactions.
ReplyDeleteDo as many back to back transactions as you and your cashier are comfortable with. Rarely does a line form behind you at the beauty counter, but if it does, it is polite to step aside and let the other customers check out.
Sometimes I need to regroup between transaction too.
You can use a RR at any Walgreens, they are not tied to the store you shopped at.
Hi Laura - You can use one manfacturer and one store coupon per items purchased. Count the itmes your purchaseing and the manuf. coupons and/or RR you are using.
ReplyDeleteNumber of coupons and/or RR can't exceed number of items purchased.
The .39 coupon in on page 3. It has a picture of a Butterfingers and Mentos on it.
I just noticed in your total of things purchased, you didn't add the Madam Mandarin Oranges...it's already an impressive list as it is though!
ReplyDeleteso the walgreens in middle tn did not receive the icy hot in their last store shipment anyone have any other good ideas of things I could put in it's place?
ReplyDeleteHi Anne - Yep, I forgot the Oranges on my puchase list. Thanks, for catching that.
ReplyDeleteHi Laura - Did you ask if the store you shop will have another truck come in before the sale is over?
If not, just rework your plan with another item from a different manf. than the RR you want to use.
They said they might get it Sat so I was worried that I might not be able to get it in time so I was trying to brainstorm other options around the same price that would keep me pretty much on plan
ReplyDeleteOn transaction #4, i dont have anymore dove coupons...what can i replace this with? what about doing some the nyquil?
ReplyDeleteOn Nyquil I ran out of the $4 sinex, I bought 4 of the liquid 10oz. Used 4 of the $1.50/1 total $14.00 get $10RR. The bottles ended up being $1 each.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anonymous!
