  Quick question about the coffeemate deal. If i buy two coffeemates for the 2.49 could I use two coupons I have for $1.00 off 2 or could i only use one because it would be considered a coupon for both since it says off of 2? thanks

    If you are only buying 2 of the Coffeemates you can only use one of the coupons. It takes $1 off two of the items, or 50 cents off each. In order to use two of the coupons you would have to buy four items. Hope that helps!

    It’s off both so you could only use one.

    It’s a blue-colored coupon book, it’s the size of a coupon, but thick with coupons inside it. It’s named “P&G Everyday Savings – over $110 in P&G Savings” on the front cover. Inside you’ll find coupons to use every month, but you can use them all at once if you want. They’re “high value” coupons of $1, $2, a few .50 ones. Later in the year, you’ll see a “refund” type offer to get the booklet. You have to fill out a form and send in your cash register tapes. I think it was you had to buy $50 of their products between a certain two or three-month period. Do this!! You’ll love this little booklet! Especially you’ll love it around Thanksgiving when Walgreens has their Black Friday events. If you don’t have CRTs for $50 when the booklet offer comes out, just go out and buy $50 worth of product. You’ll be glad you did!!! It’s like the gift that never stops giving. I would tell you what all the coupons are for, but I’ve used so many I can’t anymore. I can tell you that I won’t need Dawn dishwasher detergent till 2015, tho.

  One again a great deal day but a terrible experience. My Skintimate coupons beeped (ALL OF THEM) and they had to manually punch them in which was after they tried to tell me I couldn’t use them. Then my Colgate coupon beeped, then when I did the 3 large size aveeno she tried to do the get one free with the little 2.5 oz lotion instead of the large one I got 3 of. Last but not least, she said “I’m going to have to start using coupons, you really know how to shop”, to which the other cashier replied “uhh year it’s great if you use the stuff but if you don’t use all the stuff you buy, whats the point”. Second week in a row to be insulted and made to feel like I’m stealing. I never lose my cool and I am very patient, even when the cashier began to yell at the machine. Don’t waste time with Lawrenceburg TN Walgreens unless the deal is too good to pass up.

    No one has ever made a comment like this to me about not using what I buy, but I have two observations: 1. The cashier with the bad attitude sounds like she is just trying to make herself feel better that she doesn’t get deals like you do…sour grapes, and 2. I would politely explain that donating items you don’t think you’ll use is a fantastic option. I believe you even get to claim the full price of the donated item (before coupons) on your taxes, so it is a total win/win. I’ve got 20+ toothbrushes, and 15+ tubes of toothpaste I’m donating this week to a charity here in Ohio that uses them in kits for kids (along with a home-made blanket) who are taken out of their home to be put into foster care, that way they can at least brush their teeth the next morning (mvob.org). This way you’re polite and cheerful AND you get to tell her that not only are you a savvy shopper, you’re also generous, while she’s just…cranky!

      said perfect. I am able to share too, and do now, and it’s great because before I couldn’t. Today 5 deo, 3 toothpaste, 1 veet, toilet cleaner, month 4 bars soap, laundy clean. supplies, 409,tilex,purex,maxi,tampons, halls, floss,5 other deo, back pain patches toothbrush’s, eyeliner, mascara, food, bandages, malox, shampoo, bodywash, dog treats,candy, gum. all the things that help. In the last month I have given stuffed bags of products away and tons of coupons at the stores and to customers. I will know I have done good when I can no longer remember what or how many I have given, like we have with our food. It feels great to help family members in need besides just food and money. We have always kept our door and pantry open to anyone we know to come take what they need. This comment has been made to me by friends and stores. Friends whom have no extended thats in need and or children,or coouple still has both there jobs and stores where the cashier just has to say something. I always say “and how much have you given away this year”? “what have you extended to the person next door”? and “do you donate to the local pantry”?

        I actually do a lot of the couponing I do because of the things I give away. My mother and sister in Law both live on Very fixed incomes and can’t afford to buy many of the things I give them. These are things they need, such a polident, toothpaste, and cleaning products, such as laundry, so it makes me feel good to know the stuff is going to a good use. I get the Fun of saving money and getting GREAT deals because of collin and I am helping my family too, its a win win

      fyi- I’m an accountant and thought you should know that you can only claim what you actually paid for donated items ( if they are new . less of course if they are used ) . Technically that would be the amount you paid after coupons were used. I don’t want to discourage you from donating, because I think it’s a great idea, but as far as a tax break goes, you should only claim your actual out of pocket expense.

    I was a little alarmed about how much I had bought at first. I don’t like to waste things, and I wondered how long it would sit on my shelves. But then, as I started doing this, I became attuned to people around me in need of help. Many of my son’s friends are unemployed. They get food stamps, but they can’t afford a razor or shaving cream, or sometimes even soap. These are not included with food stamps. So, all these peripheral people are extremely grateful for whatever I can give, and I’m so happy to be able to help them. Little snide comments like the one you received are made by jealous and ignorant people. If you offered them a free jar of this or that, they’d take it in an instant. When you see the gratitude in people’s eyes, it’s really worth the time and effort.

      In the end, I do end up purchasing ALOT of things that I don’t need.. For instance, who has 50 Reach toothbrushes?? But everything that I don’t use or need, I either give away to my brother (who just got out of prison and doesn’t have alot) or a couple times a year, I just gather up all my extras and donate them to shelters or food banks. People who have nothing or women who have left abusive relationships to start over, absolutely appreciate anything that is donated to the shelters or missions. And other people don’t realize that most of us couponers do just that with all of our extras….

    Jessica, I feel your pain girl! I live in Lebanon, TN and was shopping at both the Walgreens here and having the same issues. As soon as you pull out your coupons these people act like you pulled out a gun! They are not at all coupon friendly and even the managers are rude from time to time. I have had more than one cashier “inspect” my coupons telling me they were having issues with people using “fraudulent coupons”. I understand the problem, and the concern but he did not have to say this to ME – while people are waiting impatiently behind me in line – like *I* had a fraudulent coupon. He even called the manager to come to the front as well. It was a printed coupon for a $1.00 of an item… why would I break the law for a $1.00 off one item? Long story short: my coupon was valid, in-date, NOT a fraud and had the watermark that I had to point out to both of them. VERY embarrassing and VERY insulting situation which made me stop going to Walgreens for a few weeks. So, I shopped this past weekend at the Walgreens on the corner of Thompson Lane/Nolensville rd in Nashville, TN (because I just happen to be in the area and wanted to check out the store there). Not only were they stocked up on sale items, but the staff was EXTREMELY coupon friendly and very very helpful. The lady that worked in cosmetics (I think her name was Javeen) was THE most helpful person I have ever came in contact with at Walgreens. If not for encountering her, and knowing that I will pass this Walgreens at least once every week or so, I would give up Wags all together. I could not take another encounter with the absolute rudeness I deal with here in Lebanon. The only place I have ever been more insulted by a cashier was The Dollar General Market here in Lebanon. They are not very coupon friendly at that store either. The most coupon friendly store I have been to so far, has to be Publix in Lebanon, TN. They are the nicest most friendly staff you could ever dream for.

    Jessica, I am not sure, but I think this may be your problem since no one else has reported any problems with beepage. Do you by chance have the new type of scanners at your WAGS? I ask because the new scanners tend to scan both bar codes and they beep. I used to see a lot of people talking about it and had no idea what they were referring to until we got a brand new WAGS and it happened to me! I luckily knew what to do so I have taught several employees there what to do. You need to cover the long bar code or just fold the coupon back so that only the short code (will start with a 5 or 9) shows and then you should be just fine IF that is the problem. Give it a try, either way it can’t hurt. HTH

    You should print a copy of their coupon policy and take it with you every time you shop there. I ran into this problem once, and the next time I went back I showed them the copy with these two passages highlighted: “In the event that any item’s selling price is less than the value of the coupon, Walgreens will only accept the coupon in exchange for the selling price of the item” (this means you get the item free in exchange for the coupon), and “The coupon amount must be reduced if it exceeds the value of the item after other discounts or coupons are applied. (For example, a $5.00 coupon for a $4.99 item will result in a $4.99 coupon value)” I’ve never had a problem since the first time I showed them, but I still bring the policy with me every time just in case.

    I have had the same problem with my local Walgreens (it’s part of the reason why I stopped shopping with them for so long). I even showed them their coupon policy, but they told me there was no way for their coupons to be reduced. Interestingly enough, this gives me overage to use on other items, so it’s not a complete loss. Now that I’m a little more confident with shopping at Walgreens I think I’ll question them again the next time they say they can’t reduce a coupon’s value.

    Was your coupon able to give you overage?

      I VERY rarely get overage at Wags, I shop at 4 different stores pretty regularly and even with all of those different cashiers it never seems to go thru. The computer is VERY good at catching overages, which is why the coupons beep so darn much (at Wags more than any other store I’ve ever been to). When I bought 4 Dial Nutriskin trial sizes with 4 $1 off qs it let them use 3 coupons no problem, but the 4th beeped because the computer was requiring it to be adjusted down to $0.96 so I wouldn’t get the $0.04 overage. I can sometimes get overage when I use a bogo q if I can get them to scan the manu bogo q before the store q, but not often.

    Was suprised today that my Gain Dish detergent man q didn’t beep. The cashier scanned the Walgreens Coupon first (even though I put it last), which made it $0.89. She then scanned the Man. q for $1.00 off from the P&G booklet, and it didn’t beep. 11 cents overage.

  I bought 4 bottles of gain dish detergent and used 4 of the $1/1 coupons for the gain detergent that had the picture of the laundry soap on them and they worked just fine so I got all 4 bottles for free. The coupon says detergent on it but it doesn’t state either laundry or dish so it was pretty general. The manager smiled and put them through. Even gave me the overage after she used the store couipon.

          I think she is only doing two transactions, so I don’t think she will need fillers. She can get the toothpaste and shave gel in the first transaction, and use the $2 and $4 RRs to pay for her detergent in the second transaction. She will only need fillers if she has 2 or more manufacturer coupons for the detergent.

    Some inserts vary by region. For instance, I didn’t receive the shave gel coupon in my SS insert. However, if you’re not getting any inserts at all, I wonder if you’re buying a small, local paper. If you are and you’re not receiving any coupons, I would purchase a “bigger name” newspaper.

    The P&G coupon booklet is mailed out by P&G directly. They gave them away from their facebook page earlier this year and they also sent them out as part of a different promotion last year.

  I attempted to use 2 $1/1 coupons for the Renuzit Odor Neutralizer spray. It was suppose to be buy one at 2.99 and get one free. With the two coupons they were suppose to be .50 each. The cashier told me I could only use one coupon because the other item was free. Is she correct? I looked it up in Walgreens coupn policy which states, “When items are featured in a Buy One, Get One Free promotion, up to two coupons can be used against the items being purchased, as long as the net price does not go below zero for the items being purchased.”
  Was I right or was she? I ended up buying them both with only one coupon, but I really only wanted it because it was a good deal.

I always take a copy of the Walgreens coupon policy with me when I shop there; this has helped me out in the past and hopefully it will help you out in the future, too.

    Erica, you are right and if you happen to be going back to WAgs in the near future, take the one product back with you (they cans scan it 2x if they need to, and the coupon and the receipt and tell them you did not receive your coupon off. They will do an exchange and give you the coupon amount back. HTH

  On the Aveeno deal, my insert has a $1.00 off any Aveeno Active Naturals product right beside the $3/2 coupon. In your deal, you are getting 9 products, but are not using 9 coupons. If I remember correctly, Wags will not accept more coupons than the number of items listed. Couldn’t you use some of the $1 off coupons to bring the price down on the lotions and pay less out of pocket? You are purchasing 6 lotions, so you could use several off the $1 off ANY one Aveeno product. Am I right or is my brain overwhelmed?

    You are right that Wags will not let you use more than 9 coupons if you’re only buying 9 items, but I do not think your scenario will work because in addition to only being able to use a max of 9, you are also only allowed to apply one manufacturers coupon to each item purchased, so when you use a $3/2 coupon, that one coupon counts towards each of those two items. You will not be allowed to use the $1 coupon towards the purchase of an item that has already had the $3/2 coupon counted towards it. In her deal the buy 2 get 1 free coupon applies to one of the 9 items, and the 4 $3/2 coupons apply to the other eight because each of those applies to two items, this means that each of your 9 items has had a coupon used on it already, and the computer, or the cashier, will stop you from using anymore Aveeno coupons unless you buy more Aveeno items.

I have been waiting/looking for Aveeno baby coupons over the last few weeks and haven’t been able to find any.

    Were you trying to get the shave cream, or the gel? My coupon seemed to be only good for the gel. I got two different scents of the gel at Wags, and they both went through fine.

  I had a pretty good Wags trip tonight. First, my favorite cashier was working, and the store was pretty empty. I spent less than $16 OOP, and got 4 canisters of coffee, 3 bottles of honey, 2 tubes of tooth paste, 2 deodorants, 2 shave gels, and 3 nail polishes. I’m pretty happy to be stocked up on honey and coffee!

  Had a great day at Wags. I was able to snag 4 Skintimate shaving gels, 2 boxes of Gas-X, 3 bottles of Aveeno body wash, 6 smaller Aveeno lotions, 2 Renuzit sprays, 7 Snickers eggs, and a couple of bottles of soda. My OOP: $1.50, and I got back $9 in RR. Thanks for everything you do, Collin!

  Thanks for the help, Collin! I just wanted to let you know that I’ve also found a $1/1 Colgate Total in the Spring Diabetes & You magazine. This really helped me out since my coupon inserts don’t ever seem to have toothpaste coupons in them.

  Okay, last week saw someone here talk about how Collin makes the store deals easy to print out the lists. I have been copying and pasting all along. Is there something I am missing on how to just print out the deals? Can you select only the ones you want to get? Can someone help me figure it out?

  Hi. I have a question about the listerine deal. I really need to get a few of these this week. Can I buy 3 with my in-ad coupon and 3 $2.00 off coupons and still have it ring up as $1.99 each?? I didn’t know if it would take $2.00 off per bottle with the in ad or not.

  Also, kids aquafresh is $2.29 with a $1.00 IVC in the April book. Same q here. If I buy 3, will the IVC take off $3.00??

  Thanks for any help.

  I just wanted to share a sweet deal I found! In the clearance section I found Coppertone UltraGuard Sunscreen for $5.99! I figured, give it a try to see if it would print the RR and it did!! After the $1/1 and the RR it ended up being $1.99 ! This site has really taught me to look through the clearance section!

  I was just wondering were I could get the P&G Everyday Savings booklet? Does it cost anything or is it free (I am leaning towards free)? I just like to save money anyway that I can. I am sill a little new to couponing. I did it in the past but not like I have been for the last 4 or 6 months. Please help.

  So, somewhere in these comments I read you can’t use RRs to get deals with RRs? I can’t roll them into a deal to get more RRs?

    I think you can’t use them to purchase the same item you got the RR from. That happened to me. Not totally sure though. You should be able to use RR for any different RR deal.

  Couldn’t do the Snickers Egg deal because there is a limit of 6 per customer and the $2/2 coupon wouldn’t work on these eggs. Maybe it’s just my Walgreens.

  I really don’t like Walgreens! I have shopped at about 5 of them in my area trying to find one that is friendly and gives good customer service. I only go to Walgreens because of the advertised sales, otherwise; I prefer CVS.

  Some purposefully don’t post the deals so, people come in and have to look and look for what is to be purchased for RR. I know, one store does this on purpose because I have brought this to their attention several times and they just nod and say “Oh”. No one makes a move to correct the error. The good thing about this, I guess is people don’t shop there for the RR so, most of the time you can find the deals.

  I would appreciate some help from the Pros out there. What is the rule of thumb on overage? Do you get it only when you use 1 Mfg Q and 1 In store Q together and they together exceed the price of the item? I never get overage at any stores when I always think I’m going to. The stores always adjust the price down to the cost of the item. I would appreciate any tips on how to get overage. Thanks so much

    You get overage whenever the value of the coupons you are using exceeds the purchase price of the products you are buying. Unfortunately, many stores do not give overage and actually specifically forbid it according to their coupon policies. Walgreens is one of those stores. On the positive side, Walmart has recently changed their coupon policy to say that they do give overage. Just check a store’s coupon policy if you’re unsure if they’ll give overage or not.

  Collin, I absolutely love your site! Thanks for your hard work!

  The Advil deal doesn’t make sense. If the coupon is for 160-200 count, then you can’t buy the 100 count and get $4 off, right?

  Advil pain relief 160-200 ct, PM 120 ct $4 off with in ad coupon
  Buy Advil 100 ct $8.99 (based on online price)
  Minus $4 off with in ad coupon = $4.99
  Use the $1/1 coupon found in the 1/30 or 3/27 RP
  Final cost $3.99!

    Tip.. Sometimes certain locations don’t have a certain size thats posted in the add or for in add coupons. I just found out that they will take it for what they have and the register scans it just fine. ( did this with reynolds wrap and few others). Ask your manager, he may just say he will take it. I have found this when they are out of a certain size as long as its the wags coupons and not MQ. I also did not know that their rain checks are good forever…I thought they expired after 30days too and threw away until i asked the employee when I noticed a product finally in.

  Has anyone had luck or no luck with the snickers eggs deal?
  The cashier called the mgr saying she didn’t think it was right.
  Of course the mgr agreed and would not take the coupon. Saying it was only for the
  bags of eggs. Ugh!

      Sorry but it is most likely the booklet will not be offered for some time to come… I think the current one has 4 months left on it (sorry not in front of me at this moment) and then there most likely will be a little time after that before they run the next promotion. (at least that is what happened the last time)

    Collin always posts about it here. You can of course watch the P&G website as well. It requires you to buy a certain amount of P&G products (before q’s) and then mail your receipts in to receive the book. The promotion runs for quite some time so you will have time to find out about it and also to make your purchases. I did not submit mine until quite late (just before the promotion end), so I lost out on a bunch of coupons that expired shortly after I received it, but I still have the others that are good for 2 months and 4 months respectively so even if you find out about it late, you can still get some good q’s.

  I attempted to do the Walgreens deal on the Walgreens brand diapers and wipes…I did the above scenario, got my total up to 26 something, used the $2 Walgreens coupon (deducted $8) ….and no print out for the rebate. :(:( Has anyone else ran into this problem? The manager told me that I have to have my TOTAL be $25 or more, AFTER coupons. Is that right, or was there just a glitch in the system? Please help! I’m fast running out of diapers for my little 6 week old pooper!
