I went to my normal Wags & the cashier (very nicely) said to me "If you use your RR's to pay for this you won't get any new ones back." I said okay, because I assumed she was misinformed. I have always used RR's to pay for items & received new RR's back, so long as I was buying something that was from a different promotion. However, after paying I received nothing. I was very upset, because I was expecting $15 back in RR's. Now I don't know if I should try to exchange the items or simply return them because I only purchased some the things thinking I would get RR's back. Is this a new policy change?

Is this a new policy change?

I don't have access to 8 coupons so it would be awesome if the other way worked. Can you do the trial size or is it just the normal size you have to buy eight of?

While there I decided to grab my free lotion and purell. All my coupons and $3 in RR went through, I paid and then waited for my RR. Nothing. I asked the cashier and she said that you can't use RR to pay for something that produces RR. I told her that in MI (where I live) we can use the RR to pay for the item as long as they aren't from the same campaign (ad). She said no, that's not Walgreens policy. So I returned the items and the store manager came over to help. I told him the same thing and he agreed with the cashier!! So now I'm questioning my own knowledge of the policies......am I wrong? She was very polite as was he, but they were firm on their answer. I'm kicking myself now, because I got so flustered I forgot to have her re-ring the items up to get my free stuff and RR before I left! Whoops!

It is not a policy and it is ALWAYS BEST to use the manufacturer coupons then register rewards. I may have missed it on here but I haven't seen it posted. The Glade candles are on sale this week $3.99 and the Glade $3.00 off coupons from 10/4 paper are working towards those, making it .99!!! Happy Couponing :) I work for Walgreens and I apologize that employee is dead wrong!! It is not a policy and it is ALWAYS BEST to use the manufacturer coupons then register rewards.

I recently had this problem @ a local WAGS and CS apologized a million times to me regarding the store telling me I could only use 1 RR on my transaction. This is not WAGS policy and sounds like your cashier was making up her own policy that day. Katrina,

She yelled at the lady in front of me and myself regarding the use of manufacturer's coupons and Register Rewards. She was insisting that we use the Register Rewards first, then manufacturer's coupons. I've always done it the other way around, and I thought it made sense to do it this way. She said that sometimes you're able to get more coupons in that time... instead of just one coupon per item. Does anyone know if this is true? I had a stack of Register Rewards that I had pulled out, and I was only able to use 2 of them... which was fine, they don't expire for another week... I just wanted to use as many as I could. I spent $4.86 and got $6 back in RR's so I was happy!!! I just had to vent... let me know what you guys think regarding the order of the coupons...

I didn't see this deal posted on your Walgreens post, but maybe I missed it. On Wednesday you can do a picture DVD at Walgreens for $1.00. It's similar to the one at CVS where you bring in pictures on a cd or memory card and they are put on a dvd with music. I have never done one at Walgreens but have done several at CVS and they are very easy do to and turn out great. Everyone I have always done one for loves them. These would be great Christmas presents at a great price for $1.00. They are regularly $19.99 each. Hi Crystal! I didn’t see this deal posted on your Walgreens post, but maybe I missed it.

I do like that the RR roll over into the next ad just in case this one isn't good, which it's not for me. However, I did pick up another bottle of the lotion and more Chapstick. :) Those are both great deals! Not overly thrilled about the deals this week at Walgreen’s.

This should make this a money maker. When I purchased this product last week I also got a coupon for $1/1 for the register. I didn't realise I had the coupon from the newspaper before I made my Walgreens trip, so the catalina may or not print if you use the coupon from the newspaper.
