Nicky, the coupon $x/2 shouldn’t matter, it is strictly the number of items to coupons.

Also, my total before the remaining was more than the total of the RR that wouldn’t ring up.

So, at Walgreens I had 14 items and 14 coupons including my RR. All of my RR wouldn’t process and the cashier told me that because some of my coupons were $x/2 that was like using 2 coupons. What is up with that? Is that right?

Hi Trish, the Walgreens Catalinas can only be redeemed at Walgreens and can’t be combined with any other coupons. HTH!

Hi,

Fairly new to the “extreme-type” couponing.
Question: I have several Catalina coupons from Walgreens. The coupons say mfr. coupon
on the top and has the regular type upc code starting with a 5. The coupon says redeemable at Walgreens. Do I need to redeem these at Walgreens ? Can I combine these with another mfr. coupon ?

Thanks : )

Stephanie, I’m not sure what’s up. I think we got it resolved though from our emails back and forth. Let me know if it’s still an issue.

Hi Andrea,

I haven’t received a email newsletter for quite a while now & I was wondering if I somehow got taken off the list?

At Walgreens you will only get one reward per item purchased….so if you buy 10 widgets and you’re supposed to get $1 reward on a widget, if you buy 10, you’ll still only get $1 reward. However, if you buy 1 widget 10 times (separate transactions) you’ll get 10 – $1 rewards…..I hope that helps clear some things up for you and let us know if you have any other questions!

Okay so I am trying to understand the need for multiple transaction and how to get the rapid rewards. I think I get the part that you get the rapid reward to use on a future purchase so that is why you do multiple transactions. Correct? My question is, if walgreens has an offer for $1 rapid rewards on a specific item, if i buy 10 of those items in one transaction do I get 10 RR? Just unclear if there is a limit per transaction. Thanks for any clarification you can provide. I will become an expert at this, I promise! :)

Pat, you can use the IVC’s still. Even though they say manufacturer’s coupons they are only redeemable at Walgreens making them a store coupon. I have verified this with Corporate and know that we are permitted to STACK them with manufacturer coupons.

I've found that it helps a lot to have the coupon policy with you in case anything comes into question - because, unfortunately, some stores don't know the policy well. You can print the Walgreens Coupon Policy to take along with you if you'd like!

My Walgreens must not know their policy. I’ve been told I cant use coupons on RR items, then I was told the RR are manu. coupons. Thanks so much for this info.

I know you can use the coupons this way, but sometimes I am confused about how much I would receive off. Ex: bogo50%. Use 2 coupons, How much would be taken off? Say I bought an item for $5 and it was a BOGO50%. That would be a total of $7.50. I use 2 coupons, say $2/1. Would that leave me owing $3.50??????
Also now the coupons in the book say they are manufacturers Q’s but only good a Walgreen’s. Does that mean I can’t stack those anymore???
Thanks. I’m also a newbie.

Well, unfortunately, it sounds like the manager needs some education on the Walgreen’s coupon policy! Here is a direct link for you: http://www.walgreens.com/topic/help/generalhelp/coupon_policy_main.jsp?erule=couponpolicy You’ll see there that you can use a Walgreen’s coupon (which is what an IVC is – you can’t use them at any other store and they are coded only for Walgreen’s) and a manufacture coupon on the same item. It also outlines using 2 coupons on B1G1 sale. I’d suggest printing the policy and keeping it with you in case there are any questions – HTH!

Not a newbie to Q’s but a newbie to couponing at Wags ;o)

I called and talked to the manager at my local store and she told me that the IVC are manufactured coupons and I could not stack them with the sunday paper coupons?
She also told me that you could not use a coupon for $X.xx off on a BOGOF because you would not actually being buying at full price if a coupon was used on the “one” you are suppose to be buying?

Right now, I’m at a total loss and thinking I’ll go back to Target LOL!!
TYVMIA!!

Kim, sometimes the stores will take expired RR’s if it’s only a few days old. You may want to ask the store when you go in and see what they say!

I just realized that the 15.00 coupon for a future purchase expired yesterday. All the jungle bucks that I received do not expire until 12-31. Do you think that they will still honor this or should I contact their coporate office?

Laurie, to clarify so it doesn’t confuse people, RR’s are established by the manufacturer but they aren’t manufacturer coupons as a regular Sunday Insert coupon, for example. Sometimes people get confused on that aspect thinking they can use them at other stores when in fact they are only valid at Walgreens.

By: Laurie

Laurie — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 16:00:11 +0000

The info on this blog is great. However, RR are deals set up by the manufacturer, therefore making them mfg coupons (this is also stated at the top of the coupon that you receive) not store coupons.

Also, the golden rule to “playing” Walgreens is to never get upset, defensive, or disruptive with management. They will not give the deal!!!! I have worked with and talked to many different managers at Walgreens and they all have the same opinion about customers and their coupons. Be nice and work with them and they will help you out if you need help, trust me this is how I have learned a lot of the little ins and outs. Do not get nasty, because they do have the right to limit coupons in their respective stores if they desire.

Steph, YES, the RR offers have to be done in one offer at Wags. And, you can’t roll them on the same brand RR’s which stinks but it is a good program overall! :)

Yes, RR at WAGS have to be done in one transaction, right? As opposed to CVS, who tallies your ECB on the bottom of the receipt.

please pen an article on generating b1g1 coupons…. with minimal hassles

By: Andrea Deckard

Andrea Deckard — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 00:29:01 +0000

Bella, you want to hand over your RR, then IVC, then MQ. HOWEVER, when there are sales going on, it is better to hand over the IVC or Weekly Ad Coupon LAST in order for the register to take the highest deduction. Hopefully that’s not confusing!

iCoupon – I would buy 2 and get both Free with the B1G1 Free Coupon! Or, you could buy 4, use a B1G1 Free coupon, a $2 and a $1 Coupon and pay $.99 OOP for all 4!

Ann Marie, you sound like the Wags employees I want at my store!! Actually, my stores are usually coupon friendly and I don’t visit as often as I used to. But, I always appreciated a cashier or manager willing to help like it sounds like you do!
