2010 June
Follow Me Tuesday (& Wednesday and Thursday) as I Make a Few Phone Calls to Walgreens!
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Tuesday, June 29th, 2010 at 3:09 pm.
How many of you are familiar with the following scenario?
You plan out your shopping trip to your local Walgreens store (i.e. you clip/print all your coupons, read through the extensive deal list on Hip2Save
, and write down all the transactions that you are planning to make). You arrive at your Walgreens, find the items, and go to checkout… feeling very excited about all the deals you are about to score. You are then told by the cashier and/or manager one or more of the following:
*No, you cannot use a manufacturer coupon AND a Walgreens Instant Value coupon on the same item.
*No, you cannot use a Buy 1 Get 1 Free item with a Buy 1 Get 1 Free sale to get 2 items essentially free.
*No, you cannot use a coupon that is of higher value than the item you are purchasing.
You then drive to another Walgreens down the road, buy the same items, and are able to complete the SAME transactions that you were not able to do at the previous Walgreens. How frustrating is that?! I cannot stand the fact that we all receive different/conflicting information from Walgreens employees…this absolutely drives me crazy!
This craziness is what led to the video below. I was determined to find out what sort of response I would receive when the same 5 questions were asked to 4 different Walgreens store managers across the country AND the Walgreens Corporate office. So watch the video to see what I discovered…
**If you can’t see the video, then go here to watch it.
*Please note that I contacted Walgreens managers in the following 4 states: Idaho, North Carolina, Missouri and Texas; and I called the Walgreens Corporate Customer Service Center in Alabama. Because these states only require one party consent to record a telephone conversation, I was able to record these phone calls legally! ![]()

This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Tuesday, June 29th, 2010 at 2:26 pm.

The giveaway winners are listed below and will be contacted via email WITHIN THE NEXT 60 MINUTES with further instructions. Please do NOT email me if you have specific questions related to the giveaways; instead, you can email bryn@hip2savedotcom (if you are a winner, I strongly encourage you to add the email address bryn@hip2savedotcom to your contacts or to be sure to check your spam folder as some readers have discovered the giveaway email in their spam folder). Thanks!
Please rest assured that all winners are chosen completely at random via a built-in system that randomly selects a set number of winners from each giveaway post. However, once the winners are selected, I review the comment that each winner left to be sure that the required question was answered (i.e state your favorite product over at ______). If the winner failed to answer the required question, then another randomly selected entrant is deemed the winner. I also keep a database of all the winner’s email addresses…this enables me to be sure that the same reader cannot win a giveaway more than once in a 30 day period. Hope this information helps to clarify some of your questions…if you still have questions related to the selection of winners etc, please email bryn@hip2savedotcom. Thanks!
