Anyway, I couldn't figure out why I wasn't seeing the same Electrasol sale price at my store. I compared my ad (Denver, CO) with the KC, MO ad and was SHOCKED that my local Wags ad had HALF the number of pages. I can't remember this happening in the past. I hope it isn't a new trend!

The coupon is for 6 ct. and the walgreens sale is for 5 ct. I am going to the grocery store tonight and I'm going to check out the count amount on the boxes there - it seems weird to have a 5 ct. box, doesn't it?

Buy $15 get $5 back, NOT a $5 RR. Thanks for all your research you have saved me a stash of cash! Mercedes,

I didn't have any problems and I have done similar deals before with no problems. I would think the Easy Saver coupons are just like an in-ad coupon - instant savings from Walgreens. To Julie -

There's a lot of marketing involved on where coupons get released. Some marketers decide not to release certain coupons in certain areas or release different value coupons. Sadly, a lot of small town and less populated areas get shafted from good coupons. I know because I live in one. My local newpaper carries really bad coupons. We didn't get electrasol and others either. Mercedes Hi Mary,

They wouldn't let me since the RR are technically manufacturer's coupons so unlike CS extrabucks, you can't use it in conjunction with a regular manufacturer's coupon. :-( I had the $3 RR from the cereal deal and tried using it with the Quaker oatmeal along with other coupons I had.

The wags coupon on the Hershey chocolate bars (making them 2/$1) works on the Reese's Whips too. If you use the $1/2 Whips coupon in today's paper you'll get those free as well. Yum! Also, the manager at my store said the RR for the Kellogg's cereal weren't working ($3 in RR when you buy $10) so he manually adjusted the price for me. RR are great, but instant savings are even better! Thanks for the forum to share :) ~Megan I just hit my Walgreens and did the Hershey bar deal (among others).
