Today was my very first day trying any of the Walgreens deals. I went to 2 different stores but all were out of the soap. I was only able to get the toothpaste. I’m going to try earlier in the week as the shelves were empty by today (Saturday).

I tried to use the $6/2 ES book coupon on the Starbucks bar you show in the post but the register didn’t take it. It was 3 oz. and I think it has to be 3.2 oz.

How do you get them to re-ring after you already paid? Do you return the items and then re-ring?

Please HELP!! Walgreens told me they don’t print RR when you use a coupon, so I bought all the Dove stuff and got nothing! Has anyone heard of this?

*********************
Money Saving Mom here: They will often tell you this when they don’t know why the RR’s didn’t print. Usually, it’s that their machine is not working correctly. I just ask them to re-ring the items and usually the RR’s will print the second time.

They often advertise deals in their fliers encouraging you to use coupons in conjunction with RR deals so what you were told was incorrect.

I did the Walgreen’s soap deal today. It worked for me. I bought 8 bars and the coupon let me get all 8 at .99. Then the register spit out the $10 RR. Thanks for the info!!!!

http://www.momsbyheart.net/2009/03/free-body-wash-at-walgreens.html …this link should work. If ya’ll will go there and then click on the “this” corporate letter, you will see a letter from corporate you can print out and take to Walgreens. I do like shopping at Walgreens, but I do get tired of the couple of grumpy cashiers that do not know what their job is and argue anyways. If that link doesn’t work, someone e-mail me lowry517@aol.com. I am so glad she posted this. It is going with me!!!! : )

At Walgreens, If your store will allow overage, you must give the manufacture coupon first. Then you can give the store coupon. Please be sure to have somthing to cover the overage, they will not give you money back! Some stores will not even realize that you got overage on an item.

I now have 24 bars of Dove soap and $30 in register rewards. I spent $25.20 for all of that. Thanks for the heads up; great deal! Oh, and I tried the deal at 2 different Walgreens, and each time, it took the coupon for all 8 soaps. The saleslady at one said, “This has a limit of 3 at that price, you know.” I said, “That’s ok.” Then, she said, “But, you have 8 soaps here.” I said, “It’s ok, really.” Then, the cash register rang it up at .99 each for all 8 bars. Another cashier was talking to me all about Dove and using that Dove symbol to make cookies for her son’s baptism, and got to asking me if I really like Dove bars. I said, “I don’t really know, just buy what’s on sale.” Then, she said, “Yes, that is a good deal.” When the $10 coupon spit out of the machine though, her jaw dropped, and she said, “How’d you do that? That’s awesome!!” LOL Thanks for the fun deal! We were just starting to run low on soap, not anymore!

Starbucks chocolates in Michigan are 2 for $10. So $1 a box with the coupons for us.

I bought one Sambucol and combined the $10 ES with $4 printable with no problem. Opened the box and there is $3 coupon in the box that expires 10/09. So I will go back and do it again. Sambucol was priced at 12.99. Both ways equal…free!!

I noticed a lot of unanswered questions. Let me help where I can. If you use a RR from a deal to try and buy the same item it will not print a second RR. If you use a RR from a different deal it will. If you do two different RR deals you will get 2 RR. If you buy 2 of the same item it will only print 1 RR.

Now for those of you who can get Ovg at Wags tell us how you do it. I was happy to see someone else who hasn’t had luck ie. Sambucol deal. What do you do? man Q first then wags q?

Hello,
The online Wags flyer (the one I look at) does not mention Dove RR – how can I be sure?

My ad does have the .99 cent coupon for the Dove, however I do not see where it shows to buy 8 and get the $10 RR. This looks like a great deal on my favorite soap, so I would love to do it, but I’m just a little worried. Then again, I will be surprised if there are actually 8 of them in stock! Thanks!

I got the Dove soap today!! I bought the only 8 bars left on the shelf (sheepish grin) and had a nice cashier! I’m also loving the free-after-RR toothpaste. There is TONS of it at every store near me, and it’s on sale for 3.29 but still printing the 3.50 RR.

Like Katie said, if you’re having trouble with rude cashiers, try checking out at the cosmetics counter, ESPECIALLY if you have something from that department. I believe they are paid a little bit of a bonus or commission when they ring up customers who buy cosmetics. I’ve noticed this makes them much nicer to customers than the average WG cashier.

We previously got blinkies at our store and used them for $1/box on Starbuck’s candy. A week ago my husband was in Dallas and he ran an errand at Walgreens. He found blinkies again. He grabbed like 8 of them. We found this deal yesterday at our store. He kept checking them each trip for a deal. He was like a little kid. It was funny! We used the 8 yesterday. He started opening them up and found the $1 coupon in the top of the boxes. He only found coupons in boxes of Vanilla Bean (Exp. of Oct) & Caramel Macch (Exp. Nov.) So, he kept checking them out, getting the coupons out, and getting more. It was like a game for him. He went to Dallas today. He stopped at about (5) different Walgreens they all had different sale prices, but NO blinkies left. Most of the shelves were cleared out. I guess people in Dallas figured this out. Now, you do run the risk of buying one for $1 (not a bad price) and not having a coupon inside the top. I wish you all could all get chocolate. If you were near me, I would share.

I was just going to comment, you can go to the Wags website and print off the .99 Dove coupon.

I can’t seem to find this answer anywhere. If I buy two of the same RR item on the same transaction, will two RRs print? What about two different RR items on one transaction?

Thanks for the help!

This was my first attempt at a Walgreen’s deal, and it was perfect! The coupon gave me all 8 bars for $.99, so I paid $8.40 out of pocket and got $10 back – not bad for a first purchase!! I’m so excited! Thanks so much for letting us know about this deal.
