Hey Girl: Ignore, the stupidy hate mail! Number ONE! You have an honest site! And leads anyone to help! NUMBER TWO! When you have printed up your limit on your paper,your ink, and your time! THEY ON THE COMPANY FROM THE SITE LET YOU KNOW! AND the stores, the COMPANY POLICY, WHICH anyone can go and PRINT up thereselves, can go and PRINT IT UP! SO PLEASE SEND MY EMAIL YOUR HATERS!!!!!!!!! And let them write me. I would love to know if any of them go to church ask them???????????? Also ask them is there ever a time that they grumbled to there cars, about the prices of things at these stores? Are is it that someone finally took the time to understand how to save and then shared it with others so they could do so also! And as far as i can see, since coupons are something to even get them hardly where i live is something you must print in the devastasting part of lousianna. Tell them i have not been to church in a while. SO they can bite me. I appreciate an honest site with good people, and someone showing me, how to save, where when you go in, They are not going to help you understand how to do it. Nine times out of ten, the clerks themselves, and people there did’t even know you could save that way. Now isn’t that a nice place to shop and so honest with everyone in there home towns?? Dont’ play feel sorry for me, these companys have been making money and taken advatage with markups for years of people.. And never one day have they shared my company is offering these deals, and this is the way you do this. No they expect you to figure this out. And when you tell them, i didn’t do this right. No and i cannot help you with that. That is what you get.. So tell you haters. There is other sites what are you doing here!!!!!! Sincerely A lover of this place.. A handicap lady who has shopped at all of them, and has used most of them for pharmacy and alot of money for years> and Not one time have they helped me with this issue are savings.. EFFIE

Thanks for the information about this deal. I went today to get 5 Robitussins and was expecting $15 in RR, but only got $10. I tried to explain it to the employees before I left, but didn’t remember the exact details. Unfortunately I hadn’t printed this page, but after reading it again I’m not sure that it was intended that you get $5 for spending $10 and $10 for spending $20 in the same transaction.

I’m greatful to have only paid $3.50 and to now $10 to go back and buy more stuff. Should have gone to Walgreens on 12/31 to get $20 though!!
Thanks!

[...] These are the best deals I could see for Walgreens this week. There are actually a few Register Rewards deals to help you roll those RRs you hopefully got last week with the Robitussin deal. [...]

Hi Jem,
It seems the third RR offer ended around lunch time yesterday. That’s why you only got $15 in RRs.

Hi there,
I was at Walgreens yesterday (12-31) and bought 5 Robitussins on the first transaction and 4 Robitussins and 1 Dimetapp on the second. I only got a $10 and $5 catalina per transaction. The other $5 did not print out. Any suggestions on what I should/could do?

Thanks.

Thanks for all the info. I just wish I could get access to enough coupons to do all these deals I read about at Walgreens. I clicked on your links and could only get one coupon to print. I’m glad so many of your were able to get the deal. I am now trying to teach my nieces all about the ways to save money using these blogs.

Thank you for calling. I wasn’t going to do it if it was a glitch but since it was legit- I did it. We needed some cold medicine so the timing was perfect. I was only able to use 4 coupons at my store but it printed the 3 Register Rewards to the delight of my cashier.

Thanks so much for all you do! You have helped my couponing immensely in 2008, and I am looking to even more deals in 2009! This deal worked for me yesterday and when I got home I practically forced the entire family to listen to my play-by-play. But sorry I didn’t let them know you were the one to credit. I just let them think Mom is a genius. LOL

I didn’t have to read each one of these replys to know that they are all positive. Just know that for every one of those negative people there are 100 people that appreciate everything that you do. With a income 1/4 of what it was 6 months ago and a growing toddler in the house we need to save every penny we can and without your blog we would be in a much worse situation. Thanks so so much!

Happy New Year,

I emailed the Catalina company and they promptly e-mailed me back and asked me to call 888.826.8766. The lady said she thought that there was only one coupon per transaction, but she took my information (have your Walgreens receipt ready) and sent it to the dept that deals with Walgreens. She said that if it is determined I should have received the rest of the coupons that they will mail them to me in 6-8 weeks. Not bad for a 5 minute phone call. Even if I don’t get the other $10, at least I got the items for free with the coupons and asking about adjusting the $5 coupon that did print out.

Hope this helps anyone who had troubles.

Mercedes,

I can’t believe people were being so mean! Thanks for calling the catalina company and getting all the details! I did the deal today and it worked great! Thanks for posting this awesome deal!

Hi Gidget,

I will continue doing the PnS coupon matchups. I am just taking a break for the holidays since the sales circulars are very repetitive. But I intend to pick it up again the first week of the year.

I just got my 2- $5 RR catalinas and 1- $10 RR catalina. I bought 3 Dimataps (I know it’s spelled wrong) and 3 Robitussins, the majority of which will be donated. I used coupons for all of them. Thanks so much for letting us know about this awesome deal! I also found you through MSM and love your posts.

I saw that awhile ago you posted a PnS deal. For those of us in WI, can you continue that?

Hi Guys,
For those of you who didn’t get your $20 in RRs you can contact the Catalina Company at 1-888-8 coupons and explain that you didn’t get the Register rewards that you expected. They have a way to find out why a catalina didn’t print out in a particular catalina machine. So they should be able to help you find out why your RR didn’t print at the register at the store where you bought it. Most importantly they will help you get the rest of your RRs by mail. So take some time to call them.

I bought 5 robitussin and only got a $5 RR. I immediatly noticed and got another $5 RR printed out for me by the manager. So I only got back the $10. Check your receipts before you leave the store to make sure you get at least get what the ad says!

I purchased 5 Robitussin and only received a $5 RR as well. I did not realize it until I got home (it is hard to shop with 4 kids in tow!). Now I do not know how to “prove” I did not get other RR’s; any ideas? When Juliann says she emailed the company, is that Walgreens or Wyeth?

By: Julieann

Julieann — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 17:05:15 +0000

As an additional note, I purchased 5 participating products and only got a $5RR too. I asked the cashier about it and she wrote in $10 (based on what the ad said) on the RR itself (we’ll see if that works). However, I didn’t get the other two RR’s. I emailed the company to ask them what’s next. Mercedes also told me I could go to the store and ask the cashier for a form to submit to the company to get them.

My store has tags on the ones that are on sale; that’s the only way I knew.

I was just wondering if anyone knows — when they put the Robitussin on sale, how do you know which bottles are on sale and which aren’t? They never clarify in their ad and my parents went last night and bought three 4 oz. bottles and they rang up full price. Now I have to take them back to the store to exchange for the $4 bottles. Does anyone know what the difference is?

Hey Mercedes,

What an excellent gal you are to call and clarify! That says a lot about you! I appreciate at that and hope that we didn’t get off on the wrong foot.

Thank you guys for your support. It really means a lot to me. I want my readers to know that I understand why they visit my blog. It is because of the information I provide. I want that information to be as accurate as possible. I would feel awful if my readers were to be embarrassed at stores because I gave them the wrong information. I am not infallible though and make mistakes. But I have no problem correcting my mistakes and letting my readers know about it.

Because of deals like this I was just able to drop off 9 bottles of Robi, 15 tubes of toothpaste, 4 diabetes monitors and numerous other toiletry and food items to my local food bank. I see nothing wrong with using information like what I find on your blog to make some RRs go to good use. Thanks for your hard work!
