Comments on: Two Hot Deals at Walgreens http://www.commonsensewithmoney.com/2008/12/two-hot-deals-at-walgreens/ Live Well for Less Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:08:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jane http://www.commonsensewithmoney.com/2008/12/two-hot-deals-at-walgreens/#comment-6313 Jane Tue, 30 Dec 2008 15:37:31 +0000 http://www.commonsensewithmoney.com/?p=879#comment-6313 I also tend to think that your initial post about the deal was pretty ethically challenged. Now that you know it is a valid deal, that is another matter entirely. But the fact that you thought it was a glitch and still posted to the internet the "mistake" for all to capitalize on is dubious to say the least. If the fact that I disagree with you is interpreted as hate mail, so be it. I also tend to think that your initial post about the deal was pretty ethically challenged.

It's an overlap in catalina deals: *Get $5 RR when you buy three Wyeth products (ends 12/31) *Get $5 RR when you buy $10 in Wyeth products (ends 1/31) *Get $10 RR when you spend $20 (ends 1/31) HTH! :) There is nothing dishonest about this and it’s not a glitch.

If I were a cashier, I would notify management of the *possible* glitch. I had 3- $3 Robitussin printable coupons left from awhile ago. Because I could not get any others to print, I bought 3 bottles to use the buy $10 deal this morning. I got 2 -$5 RR back. Paid $3, got $10 -- not too bad. Thank you Mercedes!

Normally, these sites monitor the computer and the printer, but this coupon deal is tied to the registrant. By registering my husband's e-mail acct. and then my son's, I was able to get 5 Rob. coupons.... Just a heads up girls!

I am going to try to find the popcorn at some of the other Walgreens in the area tomorrow! Thanks for posting these things! I agree that we are not cheating here. I have NEVER shopped at Walgreens before all this couponing stuff and now I'm a regular so I think they are happy to get any new customers they can. I did the Robitussin/Dimetapp deal tonight!

For one, Walgreens is still making a killing on what we initailly spend out of pocket to even get the register rewards. And two, how is it the customers fault if THEIR computers are the ones "glitching" or malfunctioning? Couponers have a bad rap as it is, especially with unfriendly coupon stores so it buggs me to see other couponers condeming each other over deals that are just trying to save your family the little money they have. :) Hi, I do not believe this is a “dishonest” deal whatsoever.

I'm a little new at printing the online coupons. How are you getting the Dimetapp Coupons to print more than once? Do you have to register each time? Thanks! Hi!

I'm still new at this stuff so don't mind me...just my initial reaction when I saw the post;) Still a coupon noob here!

Personally, I don't think it is dishonest because as a customer you are fulfilling the terms of the offer: you are buying the right product and using the right coupons in order to get your Register Rewards. IF the promotion at the moment is printing out $20 in register rewards is not because of anything the customer is doing. As a matter of fact we don't even know why it is happening. I *could* be a glitch or it could also be a second register promotion running alongside this one. This has happened in the past when a weekly register promotion coincides with an unadvertised one that is running month long and "double dipping" results. So, I think if as customers we were intentionally bypassing the offer's rules in order to get the RRs then it would be dishonest. But in this case it is a surprise customers were not expecting and we don't even know why exactly it is happening. I would love to hear what other readers think about this one. I am willing to have a positive discussion about this. Hi Lori,

It's things like this that make stores create more strict policies.....just sayin.
