Does anyone know if you can put the Olay Inshower Lotion on the Olay rebate form also, even though it was free? You can submit 2 so thought I would just check, not trying to be (too) greedy. Thanks

I was turned down earlier in the week in Red Wing on the Bic deal and was in Rochester today, so I thought I woulod give it another try. Before even bringing the Bic razors to the counter, I asked the young man at the front counter if he knew how the Bic deal works. He said that I would not get them for free. Determined, I seeked out a very kind older gal at the cosmetic ounter. I asked her how they would ring up. She said bring them to her when I am ready to check out and she would see what she could do. Right away, I see they scaned $5.99 for the first, and $1 for the second. She started to bag my things as she was scanning them. I asked her kindly to wait on the bagging as depending on how some things ring up, I may not want them. She then wrote $6.99 on the MFG coupon, pushed some kind of overide button, and gave me two Bic razors for free. I did the coffee creamer thing, Pert Plus and a few other things. I paid $2.36 with $23.35 savings!!!! After she had me checked out, she said you realy have to have patient. There are some goods deals, but you cannot get in a hurry, you have to be patient. It helped that here was nobody waiting at the cosmetic counter. So in summary; scope out the checkout person that looks the kindest and most humblest (someone that may what to find a deal themselves), make sure that there is nobody in line, and treat him or her like they are King/Queen. I thought there was inconsistency in stores, to find out there is inconsistency inside each store.

I was wrong – you have to give them the Walgreens coupon first and THEN the B1G1. Just went and did it the other way and it only took off $3 (it didn’t take it off a 2nd time because she had already keyed in the free item). Oops – so sad for me. But if you give them the Walgreens coupon first, it should take off $6 – then show them your B1G1 and they should key in $5.99.

I was not able to find the printable for wipes – only diapers. But my Walgreens had an “extra” coupon page at the front of the store by the January Coupon books. Perhaps these are “online” Walgreens coupons that my store has printed and offered people? Included is a $1 off Huggies Wipes 64 or 72 pack (limit 2) Hope you can find it.

If the deal does not work for the Bic items pictured in this week’s ad as B1G1 (selected varieties), then I think you can still use the B1G1 coupon along with the coupon in the Walgreens January Coupon book for $3 off each (will take off $6) So you still get 2 for free if the ones you pick are $5.99. Be sure to give them the B1G1 coupon first and then show them the Walgreens coupon second. Cashier should take off $5.99 for the free one and then the coupon will take off $6 from your receipt.

This is a little late. But I did this yesterday. Buy 2 Hersheys candy bars at 2/1.59. Use BOGO from 1/10 SS and .49 coupon from Walgreens ad. Give BOGO first and it will take off .89 then give .49 coupon for another .61 Total price: .09 for 2 candy bars

Hello fellow couponer’s. :) Just a tip: If a coupon for a product that I don’t normally buy is $1.00 off or more, I still cut it out. Then when products are on a great sale, or B1G1, I use my coupons to try a new product. If I don’t have a need for the item(s) I donate them to our military or a shelter. Also, ink is expensive so when I print a coupon I make sure I’m going to use it, and usually only for .75 or more. I try to put similar coupons together and then paper clip them. Makes it way easier when trying to find it! I use a shoe box/photo holder with labeled dividers. And lastly, Cub takes coupons 3 MONTHS after the expiration date!Thanks for all the great info everyone and happy couponing.

My experiences at MG (off CR 30) Walgreens have always been very positive. I find their managers in particular to be patient in working with me when I have a question. I did not find nor see the B1G1 Reach Toothbrush displayed despite the ad. These ads come from the corporate headquarters and are designed some 3 months in advance (so I was told once) and then maybe the delivery trucks simply don’t get there with those items when we want them. It’s not about the employees it’s just how the system works or doesn’t work I guess. But, I was given a rain check for the toothbrushes and the Sure deo as there was only left there. I also bought the B1G1 Bic razors and after looking carefully at my receipt after the fact, I saw that the coupon was taken ($5.99), but not the free price. I went back to the manager who carefully looked at the ad (which by the way showed two different packages of razors then the ones I bought which had the sale sign on them) with me and determined that in fact, I should have received the price off of one (free). And he honored the price even though the ad and the product didn’t match. I appreciated that. I’ve always found them to be helpful. I’ve had a few glitches at the MG Walgreens off of Weaver Lake Road, but then again it’s just about the the people. I’m determined to remain polite and as long as I understand the ads and the coupons, perhaps I can help them. I find this to be true at Target and Cub. It’s just people. So be polite and ask for a manager to help if you’ve got an issue. We want to do this honorably so that all of us can enjoy these terrific benefits and savings. Thanks to everyone for the feedback and especially to you, Carrie, for starting this! It’s awesome. Much thanks!!

This is a follow up to my email to Walgreens regarding the Bic Razor coupon that the store would not take. Jeff, the manager at the Walgreens in MG, must have received a message from the corporate office because he called me yesterday. I was at work and so I just called him back. He was very kind and said they should have taken it. He said they try to take as many coupons as they can because they do get reimbursed for them and they want to help us save money. The cashier should scan it, not make a judgement call, because the computers should be set up for it. He did say I could bring it in the next time I am in Walgreens and a manger will refund my money. I was very impressed at how quickly they responded. Very good customer service from Jeff.
