   That Claritin deal is great, I am printing coupons right now.
   And it seems they finally adjusted the Hershey’s deal to give an RR instead of Hershey’s coupons.
   And with your permission, here is how to get Free Cream of Wheat – Walgreen’s has the 3 pack size for a dollar, my post has coupon links for the regular and the Cinnabon flavors. I scored 12 free boxes at Walgreen’s this way!

  Thanks, Mitch. I have never tried cream of wheat (and have never actually noticed it in stores, but that could be just because I’m not looking for it), so I will definitely be on the look out for this freebie. I’m curious as to what it tastes like!

  I puffy heart LOVE cream of wheat, but and the new cinnabon flavor is super YUCK.:( Look for the $1 boxes on an end cap between the grocery and the stationary aisles. I’ve also seen them in the breakfast cereal area.

  Mitch, I am not sure how you got those for free. Coupon is for 11 oz box or larger, it does not work for a 3 pk because they are only 3 oz. The larger boxes at our Walgreens were 10 pks for $3.99 (i should say “the larger box” because there was only 1 left on the shelf, LOL)

  I got the Man. Also and not one that stated Store coupon. I was so mad. and didn’t notice till I used it and it only deducted 2.00 once and we looked at it and it said Manufacture. Its useless now. Its like the CAT just decided when to print Store coupon and when to print Man.:(

  I tried to use the 2.00 off a cleanser coupon at Walgreens( face book coupon) I think
  with the buy strips get cleanser coupon. It beeped because the 2.00 wants to attach to cleanser and if they scan it the other way it beeps since cleanser will be free. Bummer!

  I read on a different blog that the Biore B1G1 coupon is coded to attach to both products so you can try to use a $ off coupon also but it may beep!

  I did this deal this morning and they took them both. she scanned the bogo first then the 2/1. I think “technically” the pore strips are a cleanser. They clean your pores right?

   Collin, there’s a $2/1 Biore coupon that we printed out like 3 days ago.
   Buy 2 Biore Skin Care products $5.99 each = $5 RR
   Buy Biore pore strips 6-14 pk $5.99
   Buy Biore cleanser 5 oz $5.99
   Use the Buy 1 pore strip product get a cleanser Free coupon found in the 3/6 SS
   Pay $5.99
   Get back a $5 RR
   Final cost $0.99 for both!
   Using the $2/1 coupon this would make a moneymaker. 😀

    I have a $2 off 1 Luster 7 toothpaste coupon in my binder. I’ve had it for awhile, but I remember it coming in the mail. It was either in a free sample or I signed up on the manufacture website for coupons. You may want to check your binder to see if you have it too.

    I have a general Wags coupon question: If I am buying two things and the coupon I am using is $1/2 and I want to use a RR to pay for the two items…do I need a filler item? I read somewhere that if the coupon was $/2, etc. that it would attach the coupon to each of the items. Can someone confirm? Thanks!

  Yes you would need a filler item because the $1/2 coupon would attach itself to both items.

    I went to do this past weeks deals at Walgreens this afternoon and every subsequent coupon beeped. First she tried to tell me one per purchase meant I had to buy them separately. When I explained it meant one coupon per item she double and triple checked my items, had to call a manager to push the coupons through. I felt very extreme couponerish, and I was only getting 4 packs of paper towels, 2 bags of m&m’s and 2 packaging tapes. Never mind her attitude. I wonder why they would all beep?

  I had a very bad experience with coupons at walgreens this week too. I was purchasing the 2 lysol neutra air, and 2 packing tapes. Had 2 $1.50 lysol coupons and 2-$1.00 packing tape coupons, plus the in ad coupon for the tape and the april booklet coupon for the lysol. The register beeped with every single coupon. Same scenario as yours, manager was called over and said there was nothing they could do. He told me that the store/in ad coupons now count towards your item total and I would have to get more items to purchase them to use my coupons. I pulled out the coupon policy and showed him where it stated manufacture coupons and register rewards count towards the coupon total but that the in ad/store coupons never have. He told me that was the way he was doing it NOW and that from now on this is the way that it would be. I just cancelled the transaction, got my coupons back and left the store. There was a HUGE line of people behind me glaring making comments, so I didn’t have time to mess with it. He was really rude and mean. I will never go back to that store ever again. Has anyone else had the same experience with the manager telling them that store/in ad coupons now count towards the coupon total? I’ve never had a problem before this.

  Seriously, I don’t like walgreens at all. It is almost a waste of your time. I have NO problems at rite aid, but always have an issue with walgreens. Last week it wasbthe edge shaving cream. Beep every time. It was the EXACT image as the one on the coupon. The cashiers just stare at it, like no what am I suppose to do. Then I tried 3 times for the assie/ BYGO coupon. Three different senerios…shampoo/ hairspray, hairspray/hairspray, etc. tried with the same brands then with the two different brands. Beep everytime, item not found. I was like, just give me the coupons… I am done. Half of the manu. coupons are not in the system, it is a headache. I will just now and do a couple of moneymaker scenios or a few deals, but I won’t be planning a day around it. Rite aids around us are awesome! So it is rite aid or bust for me

  The edge coupon beeped for everyone I think. My cashier pushed it thru because it was clear I bought the right product. Ever since their new scanners its a pain shopping there. Almost every coupon beeps and then I get looked at weird like Iam trying to cheat them. The rr’s almost always have to be typed in. And add in there new 2 transactions per customer per day rule thanks to the shelf clearers.

  Kristin, Erin and anyone else with the new scanners, Have them fold the coupon at the bar code. Separate the two bar codes and scan the ones that start with the 5. The problem is the new scanners scan both bar codes which make it beep. Fold them and they should go through just fine. HTH

  My store has always counted a wags coupons toward the limit. If I have an man coupon a rr and a wag coupon I have to have three items. I had no idea it was suppose to be different.

  Ashley April 10, 2011 at 1:15 pm MST

  That’s not right. The coupon policy clearly states (copied and pasted) “When purchasing a single item, Walgreens accepts one manufacturer coupon and applicable Walgreens coupon(s) for the purchase of a single item, unless prohibited by either coupon offer.” The coupons in the Walgreen’s ad are in-ad coupons, not a man. coupon. So, from the statement above, it makes it clear that more than one coupon is allowed for one product as long as there is only one man. coupon. Hand over the man. coupon first, in-ad coupon, then the monthly book coupon last to avoid beeps. If you hand over the monthly one first, it will look at it as a man. coupon and will not let the other one go through. I work for Walgreens, and I know for a fact that you can use one man. coupon, one in store coupon, and one monthly coupon per item. Just make sure you have the coupon policy with you and hand over the coupon in the right order and things should hopefully go smoothly, sorry some employees aren’t too friendly.

  ” If you hand over the monthly one first, it will look at it as a man. coupon and will not let the other one go through.”

  Not always, though, right? I am almost positive that my cashier scanned the monthly Scott paper towels Q before my man. Q last night. I always try to hand the man. Q first, and only the cashiers who are always unhappy to see me anyway give me grief over it, I guess some are instructed to make sure they use the wags Qs first to avoid the scenarios where customers get more money back for a B1G1 than they’re paying for the purchased item. Last night, however I had such a wonderful cashier at my favorite Wags! Everyone I’ve encountered there has been happy for me for my deals, and super helpful and excited about how much I was saving. Last night’s cashier even told me she wishes she could do more to help people save, but all she can do is make sure she catches every Wags coupon for them. I’m there at least once a week, often twice or more, and I consider it “my” Wags. Especially when I’m reading some of the horror stories on here, I feel really lucky that I finally found “my” Wags, after searching every one anywhere near my house.

  I worked for Walgreen’s as a cashier for over 2 years and I always took the man. coupons first and then the monthly coupon books, and at the store I worked at I never had a problem, but when I would take the monthly coupon first followed by the man. coupon, it would beep. If you see that they are looking through to scan Walgreen’s coupons first, I would hand your coupons to them one by one. That way they are in the right order and hopefully no beepage. I’m glad to hear that you have been able to find a store to call “My Walgreen’s!!” That’s always great.

  I had the same exact transaction with the Lysol and the 3M tape along with the coupons which of course beeped. So they called over the manager and she took one look at my coupons and very rudely told me I could not use the Wagreens coupon from the April booklet along with the Lysol manufacturers coupon. So I showed her the Walgreens coupon policy where it says you can but she told me that the you can only use the Walgreens coupons in their weekly ads with a manuf. coupon, but not from the monthly booklets because the manufacturers back those coupons and they state on the coupon that it is “not valid with any other offers”. The 1st coupon for the tape went through no problem, the second one beeped. So we tried it in a separate transaction and still could not get it to work! So I left with no Lysol and only 1 tape! Also a couple of weeks ago I had problems with the Right Guard Body Wash B1G1 Free coupon on the B1G1 Free sale. They would not let me use my coupon. So frustrating!!! I just started going to CVS two weeks ago and they seem to be much more coupon friendly!! They even offered to give me rainchecks on the items they did not have in stock and wrote the ECB’s on the raincheck!

  My WAGS is pretty awesome. They are VERY coupon friendly and so are the managers. In fact, I had the manager tell me once that he tells his people that they are the same thing as $$. My transaction this morning had 8 items. I used 7 mq’s and 3 wags q’s. So in my store, they do not count.

  Make sure you email corporate from their official website. This way the people that actually made the coupon policy will see that your store is not honoring it.

  Yes, today I had a manager tell me I would not get a RR if I used a coupon for the same iitem. He apologized and said this was the new wy. He forced it anyways, when he saw I was not happy with how the transaction was going. I expect to have more problems with this in the future:-(.

  Similiar thing happened with me today at Dollar General. It was the first time for me to use Q’s there though thanks to several months of Hip2save I consider myself fairly savvy with the restrictions, etc. Making a pretty small purchase of about 10 items, a couple had 2 Purex and the Fantastic I was getting 4. Far from extreme. Cashier told me “I hope you know you can only use 1 Q and have to pay regular price for any extra’s. Ended up telling her I guess I’ll just take 1 of each so when the Manager was “bothered” to have to void the items already rung up He totally embarrassed me in front of the few other customers present. Loudly said I should read the Q and it say’s right there 1 Q per purchase????Even the older man behind me said I should read them before coming in the store! Wasn’t combined with any other Q and I read them carefully. Wanted to crawl in a hole. Seems everybody was giving ME dirty looks and he literally yelled at me. Have a customer case # filed with corporate and will see if anything comes of that. It really ruined my day and I know I shouldn’t let it……

  I’m so sorry you were treated like that. One coupon per purchase means one coupon per item! You should have been able to use one coupon per item, because you are purchasing each one, they call it one coupon per purchase.

  Dollar General has always been like this. I don’t go in there very much even though the store near me is very nice.

  And actually, I’m beginning to wonder if manufacturers actually do mean “purchase” as a synonym for “transaction”. Supposedly coupons are now getting more specific coding on them and registers at all stores are being upgraded. Last night I used 2 coupons for “Save $2 when you Buy 2 multi-pack bottles coke products and 2 Planter’s products.” I bought 4 of each in accordance with the requirements. The first coupon sailed through. The second coupon beeped. She looked at it and forced it through, but it had to beep for a reason.

  I wouldn’t be surprised if this isn’t something the manufacturers are trying to implement. Of course they would have to get the stores to stop pushing coupons through but at Dollar General heck would freeze over before they would push a Q.

  Yep I had a beep on the tape coupon, but only one of them. How can that be? And yes I think their new scanners are not good at all. Also my Wags cashiers thing they have to curve the coupon and move it in front of the scanner until it goes. I think they should just hold it still until it goes. Makes for a lonnnng check out.

  I had the same issue with the tape. I did it at 2 different stores today (well actually yesterday). The first time, the cashier just said that the 2nd $1 off coupon wouldn’t work. She said she didn’t know why. So I just said OK. Then I did it again at a different store and the manager was actually working the cashier. He tried the 2nd coupon a couple of times and it kept beeping and he finally just overrode it.

  BTW, he looked through the coupons I gave me and pulled out all the store coupons to scan first. He said something about it being happier that way. Is that really true? I’m sorry that I don’t recall who posted it but someone in these comments said that they gave the store coupons last. What is the reasoning behind that?

  Jen April 10, 2011 at 10:10 am MST

  They say to do the store coupons last because you can get overage toward the rest of your purchase sometimes, doing it that way. However, my Wags WON’T take the man Qs first – you HAVE to do the store Qs first. They will actually take off all the coupons and re-do them to do the store Qs first if you try it the other way.

    Different store but are there anymore Walmart moneymakers out there?. Almost got burned on the Similac, which I love the ease of for the 8m old early riser. Clerk said I couldn’t get $ off an item that cost less, asked if she was aware of new policy and could she please get a manager. She said “I don’t care what it says, you can’t buy something for $3 and get $5 off….of coarse the young customer service “manager” agreed, even after lookng at his policy. Thought I was getting a %off my cart total and they don’t allow…blah,blah. Told her nicely to void it, went to my car, 3yr old saying “but where’s our stuffffff”, got the policy and showed him exactly what I tried to explain. He agreed, and instead of being out $30 it cost $5 and change, really helped, Hubby laid off. Moral of the story is The coupon policies for all stores……DON’T forget to take it with ya!

  If you have the $3 off secret clinical still from home mailers and the ebony mag, it does not exclude travel sizes. Its $2.57 at my walmart. Same inserts etc had a Head and Shoulders shampoo $2 off that did not exclude TS and it is $.97 at walmart so you get 1.03 for each. I’ve started saving all my inserts because I’ve been missing out on so many MM at walmart! Good luck- I know first hand how tough things can be right now with lay offs.

  No. The wording on P&G catalinas state they cannot be used on other P&G products.
  (although I have read that if the RRs are different amount, using $5 to get $3 RR back **might** work, but I don’t take a chance now. I did a deal a few months back and my RR did not print, cashier couldn’t figure out why, so when I called Catalina, they told me if I used a P&G RR to purchase P&G items, any RR deal associated with P&G would void the RR from printing)

Even pushed a couple coupons thru that were beeping for no reason! And yes they were beeping for no reason, even the manager looked at them and said he didn’t know why they were beeping. Had a great day at Wags today and I usually can not say that! Loved the snickers candy deal! Bought 45 snickers eggs for my son’s class easter egg roll! They had a ton of them so saved me a trip to numerous Walgreens as I never clear the stock!

Paying OOP 2.00 each pack but it still generated a 2.00 pampers coupon and 3.00 RR. So it made last weeks not so great deal, this weeks fabulous deal!

The cashier made me pay full price for the one and gave the half price one to PG. I went to the photo counter and got the manager and explained that i should have paid for the half price one and gotten the full price one for free. she said they couldn’t do that because then i would be getting them for “too cheap”. so they would rather give their sale price to PG than to their customer.

    just a side note…I have made several friendly comments about considering other couponers and not clearing the shelves and gotten lots of negative responses. So this morning I go into my local Walgreens to find EVERY deal cleared already by the same person. Then when I go to use my RR I am told the manager will no longer allow anyone to use RR’s with “filler” items…. (ie I was purchasing Red Bull 8.99 and two pencils .29/e, had RR’s of 4, 1, and 1, and was not allowed to use the two $1 RR’s. She said is was SOLELY due to this extreme couponer running 10-15 transactions at once, clearing the shelves, and being rude when they tried to limit transactions on her that they changed their “rule”. Just an example of how when you are not careful how you handle these situations (breaking them up, going to the end of the line) etx. you can ruin it for everyone.

  Laura,

  I’m sorry that you have to deal with this type of person clearing the shelves at your store. I feel that the Extreme Coupon show on TLC only condoned this instead of making it clear that you should leave some of the deals for fellow shoppers. Here’s hoping that your store will reconsider, and simply limit the number of items that this particular woman can buy, not the amount that the rest of you can buy.

  I agree 100% with you on this one!! The cashier at my walgreens was telling me about this lady that had over 130 transactions that took over 7 hours to ring up!! I was like why on earth would you waste that much time at walgreens??? Maybe this is why I go on Sunday but never get everything on my list. I like to get the good deals but for all those people on the Extreme Coupon I just want to say at some point your going to have to stop because you won’t be able to keep up with using all that stuff before it goes bad. Plus you may never have to buy toothpaste again but some things you hardly ever get coupons for like fresh fruit. I try to give all my family as much fresh fruit as possible because they love it and it’s good for them but I almost always have to pay full price for it.

  I think the CVS card system that limits how many of one item you can buy is a better idea. Of course, some people try to abuse this too and have multiple cards, but hopefully that can be tightened up too (showing ID or something!). I don’t understand why some people act the way the do either. At Walgreens yesterday, the young boy checking me out said that he was yelled at last week by a shopper who was upset that a coupon deal didn’t go the way she wanted. Really!!! Why yell at a high school kid? Some people are way too obsessive.

    I was wondering if I am able to use the $21.99 in-ad coupon on the Enfamil formula along with the $2 off coupon from the Infant Care booklet? I have some $5 off coupons that came in formula samples from my pediatrician, so if I’m able to use all the coupons I could get it for $14.99, which is great! I have 8 month old twins, so I’m going through one large container of formula every 3 days, so I stock up when I see a good deal!

    I just left my local store and wa unable to do the wipes deal, because they had gotten rid of thier copy of the infant care book because people were useing the coupons more than once. I understood ti that the coupons in those books were the same at the other walgreens ones and worked from more than one item. Has any one else had problems with this, or has any advice on what i can do, My store never got books to give out so they had the one that they got from a different store that they were letting us use.
