About Carrie Rocha
There are some Electrosol coupons available at http://www.finishdishwashing.com but you have to register first. $1 off Finish Quantum and $.50 off any electrosol detergent.
I got the electrasol coupon from the pioneer press yesterday. Also any idea where the bayer meters can be donated here locally?
FYI I could not find the Special K bar coupon on Coupons.com
Walgreens has a great deal on Palmolive as well. 0.99 on the 10oz plus there was a coupon in one of the coupon inserts in this weeks paper for an addition 0.25 off!
The $2.50 electrasol cpn was in the SS in my Strib today.
The Electrol $2.50/1 coupon from 1/3 Smartsource insert was in both ST and PP
Donate the Bayer meters to Animal shelter,and women shelters, that where I took mine.
You can’t use the $2.50 Electrasol coupon because the ad is for 20 count powerball. There is a $1 coupon you can use though.
I can’t get the sensodyne coupon to print, it errors out. Is anyone else having trouble?
No Reach or Stayfresh coupons in our RP from the Star Tribune today :(
That’s odd I got the coupons for both the reach and the stayfree in my Start Tribune paper. Not sure if it was the Saturday or the Sunday paper. The thing is though the Rogers Walgreens would not take $6.29 off when you used the buyone get one, just $3.29 as that was how much the item was after the walgreens coupon.
My $2.50 finish coupon has no size restrictions, will work fine for the 20 count.
I got the electrasol coupon in the pioneer press delivery this morning.
Now is the time to shop Walgreens clearance for makeup. Sally Hansen nail care is a steal. Just FYI.
Anyone know which zip code gets the Johnson & Johnson coupon? TIA
Question on the Bayer Glucose meters…my ad states that it’s 14.99 with a mail-in rebate, limit one. So does that mean if I use the $30 coupon, I should actually make $14.99 in a rebate and $5 Register Rewards? (I’m just starting out on Walgreens). It also states limited to 1 coupon printed per offer (is this referring to the Walgreens in-ad coupon? If so, I don’t see that one.)
Wish I had the bayer coupons since my daughter was just diagnoised as having type one and it would be great to have a few extra meters around the house. Does anyone have a extra coupon or 2?
Can someone confirm that the Crystal Cub takes Walgreens RR?
Chrystelle, I have to meters, You are welcome to have them, I live north of the cities, Let me know where you are and i will try and somehow get them to you
Thanks
Amy
Chrystelle, I have two or three meters also that I do not need. I am in Hudson, WI. Would be happy to get them to you. You can email me directly at cassandra73 at gmail dot com.
Chrystelle,
I have 3 coupons to mail you, if you’re interested!
Kim
The $2.50 Electrasol coupon is for the 20 count Quantum but the ad is for the 20 count Powerball. The $1 Electrasol coupon is for the 20 count Powerball so it can be used, it’s just not as good of a deal.
Kim that would be great my email is deadhead 1942 @ yahoo . com [Carrie here: remove spaces from the email. I changed it so that spambots wouldn't pick it up and spam Chrystelle]. Then i can give you my addy. thanks
Wow I just saw all the other posts lol thanks guys I am in the cities so who ever it would be more convenient for would be awesome.
Just a warning…I tried to do the the stayfree and reach deals and my cashier (without telling me what she was doing) voided some the pads and toothbrushes and rescanned them so my free item would be after the walgreens coupoun (i.e. instead of getting 3.99 off for one toothbrush, I only got 1.99 off and the same with the stayfree.) I had no idea what was going in the store, and thought my total was way too high and didn’t figure this out until I got home. On a a good not I made $1 after RR on Neosporin Lipcare and did get the $2.50 Finish/Electrosol coupon with no restrictions so I got that for free after RR.
I had the same trouble with the Stayfree at Walgreens. They said there server was down & that the Wags coupons were not scanning, so she adjusted the price of the items, which resulted in be paying $3.29 for 2 packs of stayfree. Wish I would have know before hand as this is not my prefered brand & I would have skipped the deal~
For the Loreal Everpure, you say to use four $2/1 printable coupons (you will need access to two computers). I was only able to print it out once on 1 computer. Are you sure you can print it out twice?
Is anyone else having trouble with the Special K cereal coupon?
I just really want to say thank you for all your work and information. I wanted to comment that when I went to get the Reach toothbrushes, they had packs that had a free extra tooth-brush so I ended up getting 4 for $0!! Twice!! I can’t remember which insert I got them in but I had $2/1 Reach to use on each transaction. They didn’t expire until 5/2010. I got the toothbrushes, the Electrasol, the Stayfree and Neosporin lips for $2 and change. And got $4 in RR. I rolled those over for the next ring and got everything except the Neopsorin lips again but got to add on some clearance Sally Hansen cuticle cream, clearance La Cross cuticle nippers and some cheap eyeliner I wanted to try. That was $4 and change. This trip reminded me how worthwhile it is to do all the planning and stock-piling.
I also wanted to add that I specifically gave my Qs in the order that I wanted them to be scanned with the BOGO coupons to go through before the $ off Qs whether they were Man Qs or Walgreens Qs. Maybe that will help someone else. I didn’t have a single beep until he tried to use the $2.00 off Neosporine IPs. And the Mgr came over and saw that it was exactly the same product in the picture as I was trying to purchase.
FYI, the Special K BOGOF offer has reached its print limit :(
Cindy- when you print a coupon keep hitting your back browser button until it gets to the coupon printing page and that’s how you get 2 coupons to print per computer. hope that helps you.
Can you really use expired RR somewhere else? I have a $5 from 12/19 that I missed.
If you look close at those RR coupons they say they can only be used at walgreens same goes for the coupons you get from rainbow or cub. If your being able to use them else where the cashier is not doing her job right and the store is not getting comp for those ones then. I use to work at cub and it sucked trying to explain to some people that you cant use those at other stores. :(
I called the Crystal Cub about a month ago and they said they do take RR’s. I haven’t had a chance to try it, though. I’m hoping to get out there this week as I have some expired RR’s.
What newspapers had the $2.50 Finish coupon with no restrictions? In my newspaper the ad had two coupons, either $1 off or $2.50 off, and the Finish on sale at Walgreens is only eligible for the $1 coupon.
My coupon from the janesville gazette is for $2.50 off any oneFinish Quantum , Powerball Tabs , Or Gelpacs with no size restrictions. There was no $1.00 coupon.
Chrystelle,
I don’t see the word “only” on a lot of the Catalina coupons printed from other stores, including the Register Rewards. That is a key word. If it says “only” then I agree with you. Cub has no problem taking any of the coupons that say “Redeemable at _____”, as long as it doesn’t say “Redeemable ONLY at ___________”. That is what Cub told me. I’m not sure how the coupon clearinghouse works. I would think the stores are getting reimbursed for the coupons they accept.
I think some of the walgreen’s RRs are manufacturer’s coupons and some are not. The manufacturer’s coupons work at cub.
Just came back from Walgreen’s in CT. Very stressful using their coupons and manufacturer ones. First off…The B1G1 Stayfree, cost me $3.29, as they don’t take the full price off for the Get One Free, since they give you $3 off each one. The Reach Toothbrush cost me $1.99 – same deal. Revlon Makeup was $4.99. I used their $3 coupon and tried to use manufacturer coupon for $2, but because the total coupons was $5 and purchase price was $4.99, they would not honor the $2 coupon. Finally a manager came over and after a big discussion, overrang the makeup to be $5. OMG! Hope everyone else has better luck shopping.
Valerie – I’d encourage you to send an email to Walgreens corporate headquarters through their website. Be polite, but explain what you experienced and expres your disappointment and frustration.
I think coupon order is key with the BOGOs like others have said. Manuf. Bogo first, $ off manufacturer next, then the Wags coupon. If cashiers don’t take the coupons like that, and you end up paying for something that should have been free, you can always return if you don’t want a confrontation.
Question for Carrie–the Loreal “RR” prints out to say $5 off your next Loreal purchase. I’ve never seen that before. Can I still treat it as a regular RR?
How do you get the WAGS instore coupons? Do they come in the newspaper or do you have to go to the store and look for an ad there? Thank you.
Thanks for the advice Carrie. I just emailed Walgreens corporate. I will let everyone on this site know what they reply.
I just went to Walgreen’s in Bloomington and the Reach toothbrushes were not on sale….they were $4.19 each as well as the Sensodyne toothpaste…not on sale. It was $4.99.
I was able to use all of the coupons so I feel I still got a good deal….just not free for the toothbrushes and $1.99 for the Sensodyne. I still consider that a pretty darn good price! I happened to ring up all of my purchases at the prescription counter so maybe that helped in getting the full value of the coupons!
I just went to Walgreens in Inver Grove Heights. The Reach toothbrushes were $4.39, the Stayfree pads were $6.49, and the Viactiv Calcium Soft chews $9.49. I was able to use all my coupons. I paid $.39 for 2 toothbrushes, $.49 for 2 Stayfree pads, and $3.49 for the.Viactiv Calcium Soft chews. I was able to use the $2.50 Finish coupon and paid $.99 for 25 in the box. I do think these were all great deals.
Thanks everyone!
Thank you for the list…I just spent OOP 6.73 and my total savings was 40.90. I received 3 kleenex, 4 big roll toilet paper, 2 eyeshadows. 20 ct Electrosol and 2 pks of toothbrushes both had free tooth brushes inside. and 2 stayfree. Oh and I received 1.00 RR. So I spent 5.73. It was less than 30 min in and out the store. Thank you a million Carrie. You are a blessing.
In my first attempt at Wag’s today, I was unable to get the Stayfree pads deal. On my second try, I gave the man. coupon first and then the Wag’s in-ad coupon and had no problems. (This thrilled me because I will donate these.) My results were $11.98 OOP, saved $67.06, and received $10 in RR. So if you take the RR into account, I really only spent $1.98…yay! :) Thanks Carrie!
Anyone have problems with the Revlon eyeshadow deal?? Walgreen’s told me that I couldn’t use the manufactures $2/1 because it wasn’t for “matte” products???
There’s a $2 off one Neosporin (or Cortaid) right in the Walgreens ad. No need to buy the Children’s activity book? That, plus the 2 $1 off coupons should get you the deal, right?
Thanks!
I went to the Walgreens on France Avenue today and the Sensodyne toothpaste was $5.99- $6.99. It wasn’t a good enough deal even with the $2 in-ad coupon and $1 mfg coupon. Where is it priced at $3.49 around the Twin Cities?
