I just picked up an Almay Bright Eyes 3-pack (2 shades Eyeshadow, double ended brow/liner pencil, and concealer) on clearance for $7.99, PLUS there is a $3 Wags coupon in the October savings book. Now, originally the coupon wouldn't pass at the register, but the cashier agreed that I had the right item and pushed the coupon through. This is normally an $18 product!

This is a Unilever product. Notice that this week's deal with Ragu/Hellmans/Skippy/Bertolli are also Unilever products. If I understand the "game" correctly, this means we cannot roll the Vaseline lotion RRs into the Ragu/Hellmans/Skippy/Bertolli deal. Or am I missing something here? I have been rolling mine into the Quaker Granola Bars deal with no problem. Drew Just an FYI: I know many of us have $7 RRs from the Vaseline lotion deal that must be used this week.

I don't think the RR's from the Sheer Infusion, or from the Dove products would be able to be used on the Ragu, Hellmanns, Skippy RR deal this week. These are all Unilever products, and the $7, and $10 RR's from the previous products say thank you from Unlilever. They could be used to pay for the Ragu, etc.... I don't think a new RR will print, though. I thought I should at least mention this.

I don't want to return them, but would like to get them adjusted which is like a return. I'm wondering if they will do a price adjustment next week like many other stores do. Does anyone have any experience with this? TIA! I did the Theraflu deal as well yesterday and have a question… my WAGS receipt says I can return something within 30 days.

There was a red monthly RR sign right next to the ones that I bought. I matched up the 6 digit codes from the red label to the shelf label too, and the $2 RR still did not print. The manager did not know why, but she saw that everything was correct too. She just gave me $2 off of my next order. I felt bad because I knew that they would not get re-imbursed then, so I asked her to try ringing one up with no coupons, nothing. The RR still did not print. She said that something was wrong that it was not printing, and that it should have. This was last week, though. I am not planning on buying anymore this week. I just thought I would share my experience with those that commented about theirs. last week I bought the Dentek flossers. There was a red monthly RR sign right next to the ones that I bought.

Also, unfortunately, I didn't realize I could have had printables from the link here to go with it! Reg. price for 3 = $19.50, less two $4 printables, less $6 healthy savings coupon, less $8 RR = $1.50 for 3 Theraflu. Pretty good if I'd done it right! Also, same thing on Dentek as another poster. Bought Dentek picks last night for $2.79 & realized after I got home I didn't received $2 RR. Went back today and was told it's for the floss they have for $2, not the picks. Manager easily returned the $2.79 picks; I bought the $2 Dentek floss & recv'd the $2 RR. Lastly, same thing as another poster on problems using RR rewards! I was told today when I was purchasing a $13 poster frame that I could only use if only buying one item, you can use only 1 RR, and I had thought I could stack them. Live and learn...

It is also a manufacturer coupon and cannot be combined with another manufacturer coupon on the same item.

One coupon is to bring the price of the item down down to $1.99. That is to say to give you a sales price not a regular price. the children's activity book is to take $2 off each item, or what you would call a "cents off" coupon. Both coupons have different code so should go through OK. Mercedes Hi Michelle,

Every time I try to use a coupon I get a "Coupon exceeds items value" error (yesterday I was trying to use a $5 RR on a $10 purchase) and the cashiers and managers at my local store are not helpful in correcting issues. I've also left the store without RRs that were advertised, and the manager is unaware of how to correct the problem. Fortunately, my Walgreens has a CVS directly across the street from it, and I've never had an issue there. I can stack my ECBs, and have my total and bring my total down to $1 or less. It's gotten so bad, that I won't set foot into my Walgreens unless they have a deal that's too good to pass up- and I usually leave empty handed because at my store it is. Do any of you experience these issues at your Walgreens store(s)? It's so incredibly frustrating! I know many of you love shopping at Walgreens, but I have nothing but trouble with my local store.
