To the person who posted saying the cashier refused to use your RR and tore it up:

I would have asked to speak to the manager about that and I definitely would have called customer service and b*tched up a storm about that one. It’s true you can’t use a RR earned on one item to purchase the same item again but that $10 RR works just as good as cash on something else. She might as well have taken a $10 bill of yours and ripped it up. Regardless of whether the coupon can be used for that deal or not, it was your coupon, your property and not her place to tear up something that was yours. I would be p’ed off like you wouldn’t believe if a cashier did that to me.

I tried the deal but no RR’s. Bummed about it but that’s okay, will return tomorrow.

Mine only printed $2 RR. Not $10=( I returned all of it. Poor manager. He actually refunded more then he was supposed to. I pointed it out to him so he had to void it and return it all again at the correct amount.

I did the 6 soaps and 2 trial size deo’s. I got back $6 RR. I didn’t realize that the deo’s were not the right one’s. So that was good I got something. LOL

I did find 2 Mylanta’s on clearance for $1.79 each, then the Simbocol was $11.99 each. I used 2 $4 off for the Simbocol and then also used the Easy Saver book for $10 off each Simbocol and $2 off each Mylanta. It showed me getting a refund and the girl wanted to check with the manager. I said I’d just buy something else so she said ok. I bought the Self Magazine with a $1 coupon and a bag of M & M’s for my daughter and paid out 85 cents. Woo Hoo

Off tomorrow to try the Glade deals!

Thanks for ALL that you do!

couldnt do the deal for either the soaps or the deodorant – no register rewards printed out for either! I feel robbed!

I was going to try this deal at my Mechanicsville, VA (Richmond) WAG store and it is not quite as good a money maker as others are reporting. I found the trial size deodorant with the full size ones, but ours are not .99 cents rather are $1.49. I had 2 $1.50/2 Dove Qs and was going to by 5 plus 3 of the .99 Dove soaps w/Q from the add. This deal with my manf. Qs would have still been free after RR and made money, but I decided against it since my money maker would not have been as good. I think I will go to another nearby store as I saw something on clearance that I had a manf. Q for. If I go I will report if the prices are the same. I think it varies by store and area becuase the clearance item I wanted was a much better deal at the other store. No one else seemed to report the $1.49 deodorant price at their stores, so we will see. I have RRs to use from last night’s purchase too. Yay!

Am I the only one who doesn’t seem to have the $1.50/2 deodorant coupon in the specified Red Plum insert?

This deal must have worked in my area, because the 2 stores I checked last night were completely cleaned out of the Dove soap and deodorant! I tried an Irish Spring deal that I read on another blog and it did not print up the RR, so I will check another store tonight and return the Irish Spring!

I was able to do the deodorant deal. Because Wags was short on deodorant, I had to go to another location buy 2, return them to the other store where I combined them with the 6 they had and got the rr’s. They were both out of soap, too! It was sort of annoying to have to do it that way, but I wanted to get them to donate to the food pantry. And even with tax and driving, I still came out ahead. I also got 2 lotions to donate (Vaseline Intensive Care from a previous post and made a little $ on that deal as well.) Thanks for all the great deals.

I was able to do the deal today with 6 soaps and 2 deodorants, then I used the $1.50/2 Dove deordorant coupon! I spent $7.15 with tax and got back $10. The cashier wrote down your web address so she can get the scoop on the deals too!!!

My Walgreens refused to use the $1.00 manufacturer Nabisco coupon for Ritz crackers this week because the buy 1, get 1 free store coupon only cost 99 cents. They would probably do the same with this one. Does anyone know the corporate policy on this?

I made $6 on the travel size Dove deodorant and the single Dove bar soap. My store didn't have enough of either so I had to do a combo deal. LOL!http://couponnerd.blogspot.com/2009/03/earning-those-register-rewards-at-wags.html

For those of you who are wondering where this deal is listed, I remember seeing it in last week’s ad.

I’m in Indiana and this deal worked GREAT! I used the $10 RR (I paid $7.32 OOP for 4 mini deodorants and 4 travel size bars) to buy the Colgate and Vaseline (both moneymakers!). Then, at another Walgreens (there are 3 w/in 5 miles of our place) I did the Dove deal again. The young guy who rang up my order was so sweet! While he was scanning my Dove products a coupon for $1.50 off 2 Dove “ultimate” deodorants printed out and at the end of my transaction he said “let’s see if you can use this too” and it worked! He was all impressed with my good deal I love the kids who work at my Walgreens!
