He said I could only use it on the one that I bought, not the one I got for free. He said that they had caught this "problem" and had fixed it in their computer system, whatever that means. Anyway, I got the 2 for $2.99 but not RRs. Not too bad, anyway! At our Walgreens today, the manager wouldn’t let me use the $4 coupon on both Almay mascaras.

I went to two different stores and at one it was bogo 50 and one it was bogo free. Either way its still a good deal, but finding the bogo free is worth the trip to the second store if you have one! Does anyone know if only the masacara is ringing up on the bogo free or if its the lower of any two Almay items? I definately appears to be store specific.

If your store were on top of things all of these deals would be tagged at your own store. I guess my store is awesome because all of the monthly deals are properly tagged at my store. Sorry, walgreens and some of their stores don't make it all that easy. Mercedes Hi Sunflower,

I love getting something for free but I just wanted to see what someone else said about "buying" so many. And I went to a Walgreens that I normally don't go to and they had those blue buckets in the isles full of almay products. I guess they were stocking the shelves. Crazy! Megan,

I rarely see more than 5 of any one type of makeup item in stock at a time. That said, I completely agree with you - 26 is outrageously greedy! I wouldn't be surprised if 26 new ebay listings for Almay mascara went up last night... Thanks for the reminder to only take what we will use!

It was absolutely the EXACT same products I'd purchased at the other locations, so I'm now 100% convinced it's varying by store. So for those of you that didn't get it to work, try another Walgreens location.

I read the FAQs but how do you know of the monthly RR deals if they are not posted in the store. Is there a place to go (besides your website, of course) that will list those deals? I have made purchases and got no RRs. I try to explain that I "read on the web" and the cashiers ask for the print ad, which I don't have. Is there any other way than saving all your weekly circulars? Thanks. I read the FAQs but how do you know of the monthly RR deals if they are not posted in the store.

I tried this too but must have bought the wrong Almay product. The good news is it rang up BOGO at 3 pm in FL but no RR. As others have asked, if the store doesn't display the RR deals, especially if they are monthly deals, where can you go to "confirm" that these deals exist. FYI- I found about a dozen packages of Olay Regenerist and Olay Definity in the clearance for $5.49 and $7.49. Per the cashier, they were discontinuing these products. Who knows- I still got a great deal!! Thanks for all the wonderful deals. I tried this too but must have bought the wrong Almay product. The good news is it rang up BOGO at 3 pm in FL but no RR.
