It happened to me today, but I didn't check my reciept until late in the day. I got a refund, but do I need be more observant? Sometimes I can't figure out the recipets.

They are close. THey are normally 1.59. With the in -ad coupon they subract .60 per brush to make them .99. So if you buy 2 at 1.59 and use the BOGO coupon then your subtotal is 1.59. Then give the in -ad coupon and that will subtract 1.20 (.60 for each toothbrush) That leaves you with .39 for two toothbrushes. Not bad, but not free or a moneymaker. Am I wrong here?

She said that she was going to buy one but didn't think it was right because they were so limited. I already have one but I am sure that someone is going to need it and then I will have it for them!!! I got one at 11:00, the checker said they only had four total.

I bet they only had about half a dozen to start with; they don't seem to be good about ordering extras of the things in their ads.

The manager opened the stored we raced back to the aisle and there were 3 there.

I had to buy 4 boxes at .99 to get my two 1.50 coupons to work, it would not let me buy 3 and use both coupons. It is .03 difference, what is the big deal. This happened at 2 different stores.

They said that the reason they were on sale with a rebate was because they were being discontinued. That is the reason so many stores only had a couple of them. They could not order more. I checked 2 stores and they said they sold out within the first hour. I asked about the hair dryers at my Walgreens.

At 8:30, already out of the hair dryer. Why am I not surprised. But I did get a good deal on the Everready battery charger. Found one on sale for $6 ( included 2 AAA and 2 AA), used $1/1 coupon, entered $5 easysaver rebate (not sure it will go through, but tried anyway) and sent in $5 mail in rebate. So worse case, it is free, best case, $5 over. After taking the kids to the church for the xmas ice skating party hit Walgreens. At 8:30, already out of the hair dryer. Why am I not surprised.

I would think the manager should have ordered at least a dozen - 3 is ridiculous! Time to start shopping at CVS and Rite Aid again...Wags has been out of everything on special every time I check. Finally got 2 of the B1G1 creamers late Sat. night after checking 3 wags on my way home. Not worth the gas money to get their deals anymore!

My store only had 2. I also wasn't very impressed with the gel grip either-- its that stickey plastic that seems to attract dirt and hair. Probably not good qualities for a hair dryer. Anyway, I'll be letting this free deal pass. I checked out these hair dryers when I was at Walgreen’s this week. My store only had 2.
