    I hope the cashier won’t give me any problems with the UP2U Gum! Saturday was the first time I’ve gone in without any problems from the cashier not wanting to take my coupons. 😉

  2. Rochelle

    i never shop walgreens, their coupon policy is so hard for me. if i were to purchase the gum & lotion, do i need to do 2 different transaction or can i purchase all in 1 transaction & still be able to get this deal

    • katee

      you can do it in one~

      • Rochelle

        thank you!

    • Vanesza

      BUT if your going to pay with RR remember you will need a filler item because you can’t have more manf coupons than items.

      • Rochelle

        can you use something like a mini memo pad for .17 as a filler item?

        • K

          yes!

        • Gil

          a cheap pencil will be even better

        • Vanessa

          The cheapest item I’ve found is the empty Halloween treat candy bags in cosmetics for .11 cents or some highlighters for .14 cents. Any thing works as long as your not using a coupon for it 🙂

          • Jodi

            But a Wags q is fine to use (like on their pencils, etc)–just to clarify!

            • Rochelle

              thank you!!!
              went to walgreens tried this deal with no problems!! i found the candy bags, & doesn’t seem so bad now that i understand the filler items.

  3. Sylvia

    I am sooo excited! I’m in the “testing area” for the points system. And rarely get to take advantage of the rr. But this week the Jergens works for my area too:) and i’m down to my last bottle!! Perfect timing!

  4. aesha

    are the cereal and granola bar deal still working or was that last week only?

    • aesha

      with reg reward?

      • Deedee

        I think you should still get a RR, but they are not on sale this week :(. I missed out last week b/c my two girls (3 and 1) are too scared to go to Walgreens with all the Halloween decorations out. Ours has a scary witch that moves and talks and some creepy thing by the front entrance. My hubs works all the time, so it just never worked out for me either.

  5. Cindy

    When I handed the coupons in the order as suggested (by all couponing sites and as I always have until this), the cashier asked me if I had any other coupons as “we are told what order to use them.” I was so flabbergasted that I handed over my mfr and store q’s. Even worse, she scanned a Wags q before I even had the chance to give her my q’s in order! Please provide feedback as to how I should have handled this.

    • Summer

      Cashiers vary so widely, including managers. I am shocked at how the same store can have so many inconsistent people. Best advice, is try a different day, different cashier and keep smiling! The good deals, that DO work, make it all worthwhile!

    • Laura

      I don’t shop at Walgreens because my store does the same thing. The cashier told me it’s their policy to use the Wag coupon first. She acted liked I was stealing.

      • Carrie

        mine too! I do not shop wags at all

    • vanesza

      I use to have the problem of just not liking the coupon policy, the manager (she was a real *witch*) and having to do the filler items (it was confusing for me, but I ended up making friends with two cashiers and 1 of the other managers. Ever since then I haven’t had a problem, they appreciate my “nice-ness” about it all and I always smile and say thank you so they know I appreciate them. You’d be surprised how those few little things work, I seriously don’t have any problems anymore and they even go out of there way for me at times. It’s all about finding the ‘right people’ to click with so that stuff goes smoother.

  6. Carol_R

    Thanks Collin! I love freebies.

  7. K

    Sweet! I have been able to snag so many packs of this gum for free that I am handing it out on Halloween! I hope parents don’t hate me! haha

  8. Brittany

    Also, if you have a Meijer in your area the up2u gum is on price drop for .99 cents if you don’t want to deal with the Walgreens headache 😉

    • Toni

      Thanks Brittany! I don’t shop Wags ever so I’m glad I can score free gum still! Needs lots for bathroom reception baskets!

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        Nothing like a piece of gum after a number 2.

        • Toni

          Or even before 😉

  9. Sarah

    If you have an Albertson’s they are on sale 10/$10 there!

  10. Kor

    Actually, you have to read the fine print on the coupons now, because they have change the fine print in some of those coupons, which me them like manufacture coupons and can not be combine with regular coupons!! last time they were on sale I tried, and the manager came over look up the problem and told me the fine print on that particular coupon make it like a manufacture coupon and can not be combine with the ones in the newspaper.
    So pay attention for now on on the coupons on the Wags book.

    • Elaine

      I heard that the Walgreen coupon books have coupons that start with a 0 instead of the usual 5 or 9 that are on other manufacture coupons. Don’t know if that is why we are usually able to use both the book and the manufacture coupon.

      • katee

        the coupons in the walgreens monthly book are WALGREENS coupons, NOT manufacturer coupons…the cashiers are wrong if they tell you its a manufacturer coupon, i work at walgreens. the coupon policy states that you can use “all applicable walgreens coupons and one manufacturer coupon per item” so say you bought some product that had a coupon in the weekly flyer, as well as an additional coupon in the monthly book, you could use BOTH of those coupons as well as ONE manufacturer coupon. so you would be able to use a total of 3 coupons on that product.

  11. Jennifer

    Be careful with the Jergens/Biore deal! In my Walgreens, the RR deal was only posted by the larger bottles priced at $5.99. I tried the $4.29 bottles anyway and the RR DID NOT print out. However, in a happy ending, Teresa, a manager, came over and fixed my transactions. The Biore deal didn’t work either on the facial wash I was buying but it did on the pore strips. She rang up the strips 3 times so I could get the RR for each one and then voided the extra transactions. Good luck!

    • Tina

      I tried the Jergen’s deal with the 10oz, and it did not work. It’s for the bigger sizes.

  12. Karina

    I also have had NOTHING but problems at Walgreens. The other day I was able to do the gum deal, but that was ONLY because I had a VERY cooperative cashier and manager. They forced the transaction to work. I am so sick of this store and their games. I do not shop there anymore. The register rewards are always a scam/game. It’s beyond ridiculous. I stick with CVS and other stores that appreciate my business.

    Also, I recently tried to use my Pampers coupon from the Baby Book at a Wags recently and they told me they had to take my coupon because it is a manufacturers coupon. The cashier got a manager and she said the same thing. I told them I never had this problem before and had used the coupon all year. I am normally very reserved about using coupons and slink away from a confrontation, but on this occasion I was so annoyed with Wags that I told them they could keep the diapers, I wanted my coupon back and I was going to use it at another Wags. I decided not to use it at all and not return to Wags. Instead I got the Fisher Price Diaper Deal from Amazon a few weeks ago. Amazing Deal. Thanks Colin!

  13. Bukid7039

    I went to walgreens today got 11 UP2U gum.I handed the MQ’s first then the oct booklet. Works fine=) I bought 2 jergens ultrahealing $4.29 each and printed 5RR…Thanks collin for this post!

    • Janette

      Did you have to do separate transactions?

      • Janette

        For the gum is what I was asking sorry wasn’t very clear.

        • katee

          not necessarily, it depends on your cashier, some are more cooperative than others. but if you do them all the coupons will work

          • Janette

            Thanks for the info I only got two packs yesterday because I wasn’t sure. I have 4 more coupons to use and would like to use them all at once since there have been so many issues with people using them. I really don’t think my Wags cares or pays attention most of the cashiers are younger.

  14. Andrea

    So I went to a Walgreens in my town and bought 2 of the small Jergens and the RR DID NOT PRINT. So she called over a manager, who said I would have to send in a form in order to get my RR. I told him there was no way I was going to fill out a form and then use my stamps to send it off to maybe get a RR in 6 weeks. He said this was the only way they had to do get you your RR at this point! Is this true? I see the other girl said the manager fixed her transaction, I’m wondering how. I told him to refund my money (including the $2 for my coupons) and that he needed to take down the ad because it was false advertising to promise a RR that doesn’t print. If you wanna say it’s a MIR, that’s one thing, but I don’t bother with those for just that reason, but you can’t say it’s going to print an RR when you know it doesn’t.

    • katee

      by chance were you at the one in nashua new hampshire?

    • Momoon

      I had a manager do that to me once and I really got screwed because I was going to submit the receipt for a mir. Both require the original receipt so it was a choice of which one I was going to submit it for. In the end I did the “real” mir since it was a higher amount. I should have just gone back to Wags, returned the item and then re-rang it but I didn’t want someone to think I was trying to pull one over on them. Instead, they pulled one over one me. Arghhhh!

    • Andrea

      I was VERY happy with Walgreens today. The manager there (who I know and is always very friendly!) called me to apologize for the mistake in their system and told me they tried the deal twice today and the deal worked. He also offered to give me the 2 RR that printed out when they tried out the deal! I was very satisfied with their resolution and it just shows that it pays to speak up when something goes wrong.

  15. Laci

    Won’t work if you get a sucky cashier that demands to scan the WG’s coupon first. I’m getting to the point that I can’t stand shopping at WG’s b/c of all their inconsistencies and stupid policies that make it difficult on us couponers. They need to be more cut and dry with their sales & policies.

    • Sarah

      i say you pretend you only have the manf. Coupons till the cashier is done ringing them out and then say “oh isnt there a coupon in the October booklet?!?!” He He!! Oh ya! Then had it over!! LOL!!

      • Darcy

        at one of the stores i go to the cashiers know what coupons are in the ad and booklet and scan them without the customer asking, as the scan the items, grrrrr, lol. I am hoping when I go sometime this week i will have a lazy cashier that is not on the ball so that i can do my man. coupons before they scan the booklet.

  16. Nicole

    The gum deal at my store didn’t work b/c the price was 2/$4. Still making the the gum .50 a pack which imo isn’t that great of a deal. Bummer – I was so excited about free gum!

    • Nicole G.

      The gum is single pack gum, so it should be priced at $1.49 a pack. (this deal is not for the multi-pack) Two single packs come to $3. Use 2 $1 off/1 manufacturer coupons & the coupon ($1/2) in the walgreens book. Your total should be $0 oop. Hope that helps!

  17. Momoon

    Most everyone’s problems with Wags starts because their registers need the manufacturer qs scanned before the store q. I wish they would train their cashiers not only to do this but to understand that it is the way it’s designed! I’m sick of hearing of belligerent cashiers who won’t allow coupons to go in their correct order because they think we are trying to pull one over on them. I’ve even had manager totally amazed that it would work if you did it the correct way. Seriously, how hard is it to train your employees Wags?!?!?!! Just put a tiny sign up on the register to help out not only your cashiers but also your future customers.

  18. AMY

    Does anyone know if it will work to buy one Biore product at $5.99 and one Jergens 10 oz at $4.29 to get the $5RR?

  19. mayra

    I coudn’t find the coupon on the Smart Source 10/9

  20. teddigirl

    Did anyone find the UP2U coupons in Seattle area 10/9 SS?

  21. Darcy

    Collin, with the Up2U gum scenario- i tried using this today but was unable to use the coupon in the booklet because they way you have it would have put me at 1.02 over, so i think you want to use one dollars off man. coupon (either of off one or off of two) and than use the booklet, that will give you three dollars off making it free.

    • Darcy

      nevermind, it is $1.00 off of two so it should work but it didn’t work for me

  22. Anna

    Got it! Worked fine, except I only had one of the manufacture’s coupons so I think I paid 50 cents each. They were sold out of all but one flavor so hopefully the kids like it. I’m saving this and all the deals of quality candy for their Christmas stockings.

  23. sherri

    I went today and got two of the 10 oz for 4.29 and the RR did not print. I asked the cashier about it and she called the manager who came up and said that it did not print because it was only intended for the larger bottles that were $5.99. Then the manager refused to return the 2 bottles and issue a refund because I used two $1.00 off coupons. After much polite back and forth on my part I just left and will go to another walgreens tomorrow and return it or see if they can fix it and get the RR to print. So frustrating and discouraging.

  24. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    In case anyone wants the larger bottles of Curel for $5.99, the cosmetics counter should have $2.00 off Curel coupons. They are manufacturer coupons but they are only redeemable at Walgreens.

  25. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Just an idea for those who need an extra inexpensive item for the overage: I needed a few (5) pictures printed so I had them ready for pick up when I went in for my weekly run. I was able to use all my coupons and only have to pay a little extra for the pictures.

  26. Sarah

    I got 10 packs of gum free today with this deal! I bought a $.20 pencil as a filler. Have them scan my manf coupons first then The wags coupon. Worked like a charm!! 
