I had a newbie question on the Fructis Hair care deal: is there a limit of 1 item per transaction ? I mean if I got two of the $2 off Easy Saver catalog coupons + two $1 off manuf. coupons. Is that allowed? I didn't see a limit on the ad, but I was sure you'd know the answer to this! Thanks in advance :o) Thanks for the tips Mercedes!

The lady there told me that I could use the coupons for any huggies item..therefore I was able to use some $5 off on pullups and on wipes that were not gentle care. They all scanned and worked just great! So, if you don't want Gentle Care diapers, use it on another product, as long as it scans in your good!

The first time I used the $5 coupons (x3) and the 2nd time the $3 coupons (x3). I have one in size 3 now and am pregnant again, so this is an awesome deal for me. The downside is that the cashier, the regular one at my local Wags, wouldn't let me use previous RRs on my purchase saying I could only use a total of 3 coupons since I only had 3 items. She also wouldn't let me use the ES $2 Fruitis coupon with the $1 manny coupon saying the item was only $.99 after the WAgs coupon. I plan to go to a different Wags and see if I get the same result w/ these issues. I just bought a total of 6 jumbos (two separate orders) and got the $10 RR rewards each time.

Last week I tried using the Johnson and Johnson coloring book coupon, and it beeped. The manager pointed out that on the bottom of the coupon it states that it can not be combined with any other offer. So I only got to use it once (he took a 1.00 off of one of my baby powders), thus making it less of a deal for me, but still way better than full price :). Hope this helps someone! Mary Hi Mercedes,

They went through fine for me three times. It's possible the coupons are not activated at your store. It would have been a good idea to try just the coloring book coupons without anything else or in any of the other products the coloring book coupons work in. It probably would have proved the point they are not activated at your store. Hi Amy,

I did the huggies deal this morning and my $5 off coupons went through fine and my RR printed, but the coloring book coupon beeped and the manager said it couldn't be combined with any other offer?? Do you know how I could have avoided the "beep"? I even added gum so i would have 4 items and 4 coupons?? Thanks so much for your help!!! Hi!!

Do you mean pay $15 OOP and get $10 back Also, I see a comment above about paying with RR to get RR in an order.

But I can sympathize with other commenters' experiences about them not printing out when you use other RR from different deals to pay for them. This is why, in my experience, I've only been able to "roll" RR if I use them to buy Free After Rebate items where I then can get money back. I do find it interesting, though, that you can contact the Catalina company and get reimbursed directly from them. I may do that in the future.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid that I can't follow up on the problem I experienced for this reason: When the store manager told me that I did not qualify for the RR, I became frustrated and returned one pk of diapers to the shelf.

I'll know better next time. Again, I THANK YOU for your advice and for sharing your experience!!!! Sally Dear Andrea,

Please call or email Walgreens/ and or the Catalina company about this. My total was about $14 after coupons for THREE transactions, every time the RR's printed. Odds are good his Catalina machine was malfunctioning or turned off (maybe just to discourage shoppers, who knows). But don't let this go. The Catalina company is very easy to work with too (they've corrected Kroger stuff for me before when the machine "ate" the coupon!) Just make sure you hold onto your receipt. You'll need it if you're gonna do the Caregiver's Marketplace rebate, as well (you can get back $.75 for each pack of Huggies you buy!!) HTH Sally, that is NOT the case!
