April,
Some cashiers are coupon friendly and do allow it. The olay in shower is a store promo. But according to the manufacturer I am buying it so I can use a coupon and they store will get reimbursed. Win for me win for store..and you still get your hourly rate just for scanning the coupon. All is fair.

Big corporations (like CVS, Walgreens, Target, etc) have big advertising agencies that run the price promotions and the coupons. It is not accidental that the sales run when the coupons are published. They know what they are doing; after all they are experts. Therefore, it’s not at all fraudulent to use what they give us, is it?

Below is an email from CVS regarding this matter if CVS can be coupon friendly so can walgreens.

In the case where a particular item is on sale for “buy one get one free” (BOGO), you are only allowed to use one manufacturer’s BOGO coupon. For instance, if Revlon lipstick is on sale for BOGO, you can use one manufacturer’s BOGO coupon. You would get both items free and pay any applicable tax. We reserve the right to limit quantities. If our store is running a sale for BOGO, you can use two manufacturer’s coupons for a specific dollar amount off. For example, if Revlon lipstick is on sale at our store for BOGO, you can use two $1.00 off Revlon lipstick manufacturer coupons.

Again, thank you for contacting us. We value your business and look forward to serving you in the future. Have a wonderful evening!

Sincerely,

CVS/pharmacy
Customer Relations

Hi Sarah,

The rebate is only on the lotions. so you can buy two and get to inshower lotions free. Then submit the receipt to get the cost of the body lotions back.
Hope that helps,

I have a question or the olay lotion rebate. Do I buy 2 ( since it is 2 per house) and then get the 2 shower lotion free. Or is the lotion and the shower lotion considered the 2 items for rebate?

Someone may have already posted about this…but if you haven’t done the Diaper/Wipes deal….I just went to Walgreens today and they had a white print out with coupons on the front and back (like they had around Christmas time) on one side there is a $1.00 off Huggies Baby Wipes 64 or 72 pack…combine that with Manf. coupon and that could be a great deal on wipes!

Regarding the olay deal, you cannot use a quench in shower body bar or lotion coupon since you’re already getting it for free via buying the body lotion, c’mon people, don’t make us reject your coupons. be legit. I work at a walgreens, we’re just doing our jobs.

We called Walgreens about not getting RRs from the Benefiber ‘buy $30 get $10 RR back’ deal and they said its because we used manufacturer’s coupons. According to them, if you use manufacturer’s coupons, RRs will not print. This is ridiculous. She said THEIR Wags coupon from the Diabetes book counts, but if you used manu ones they would make it so the RR wouldnt print. They also said it has to be $30 AFTER coupons. I will go to CVS. They still give ECBs if it is under the amt. (Like 2 days ago I paid $2 for 7 bags of Stacy’s chips using 6 $1/1 coupons, 1 free bag coupon, and $10 in ECBs and WAS NOT hassled)

Did anyone else call about this that didnt get the deal to work in the store?

Meckinzie,

Have you done the Olay Quench rebate? Because that could be an alternative. Plus this week you also get free in shower lotion.

Can anyone help? I am fairly new at rolling RR’s at Walgreens. I will be going there this Thursday while I’m off work. I have a $10 RR that is expiring in a few days but don’t know how to roll it. I have been doing ok with getting really good deals but not really rolling my RR’s. This time is really hard for me because it’s a $10 RR. I usually have to kep my transactions very small otherwise I get confused and lose out on something that didn’t go through as planned. Any suggestions before I end up using it all on toilet paper instead of rolling it? Thanks guys!

annoyed that my walgreens didn’t let me do the razor deal! It rang up at $5.99 for the first one and then $1 for the second. To use my coupon for BOGO they said they woudl take off the $1. I tried to explain to them they are ringing up incorrect as the ad specifically states, BO at $6.99 GO free! they wouldn’t listen! when I tried multiples n the same transaction, it rang up at $3.49 and $3.50.. I chose not to get any of them.
That is annoying! The cashier said that I would be lucky even to use it on the sale since the coupon states not to combine with any other offer, which that is an offer….
They also wouldn’t let me use the Icy Hot coupons since it states on the coupon Not for use with patches or something like that.. it was not a good run at walgreens today!

I had problems as well. Cept I kept everything because its a great price, and the managers would not give us our RR. (I did the $10 AND $5 using all Benefiber) I got the manager both times (2 different stores) to sign a receipt and write the transaction number on it and write that I did not get my RRs. I am going to call Walgreens Customer Service and I will ask for my rewards. If not, I guess I will go to CVS, who HAS NEVER hassled me at ANY OF THE STORES I have been to. Super frustrated with Wags as per usual….

It was in the pharmacy back in Oct. or Nov. I was told the other day that they threw out the extras because they are getting a new one at the end of Jan.

Buy (6) Benefiber boxes for $30 and using Manufacturer and WAG coupons…NOT WORKING. I just got home from Walgreens and not able to do the Benefiber deal mentioned above. I used (6) manf. coupons as well as the coupon from the Diabetes book…..and no Register Reward at the end. Luckily, I have been able to get to know the some of the cashiers on a first name basis and know when they will be working…so they always help in Cosmetics so I don’t have a big line behind me. She forwarned me that they have been having trouble with the Benefiber deal if you use coupons. We rang it up 2 different times and still no Register Reward…luckily she was nice enough to void each transaction and give me all my coupons and register rewards back. Wondering if anyone else if having problems with the Benefiber deal?

Children’s Activities Books can be found in the Toy department of some Walgreen’s stores. I found mine in the section of coloring books. Good luck!

I visited two different Walgreen’s stores. The Robitussin D was kept behind the pharmacy counters at both stores and was only available in the 8 oz. size for approx. $10 per bottle. I was hoping to get 2/$10 in the 4 oz. bottles, use the coupons, and get the register rewards. The $2 coupons are for Robitussin D. I suppose I will use my $1 coupons for a different Robitussin.

I work for Walgreens and it truly depends on which store you go to. Some will manually enter coupons if the register does not accept it.

I have never been able to find the Diabetes and You Booklet. I ask everyone about it, and they tell me they have no such thing as it.

Looking at the Huggies deal in Walgreens, I remember that it this might be a good time to add a note in the blog about the approaching CaregiversMarketPlace.com rebate submission for 2009 deadline –which is Jan 31st 2010 for all 2009 receipts.

Well, even though it is only .75c per package, it really adds up a lot.
Thanks for hard and good work CommonSenseWithMoney!!!
