Stock up on almonds!

The $10 off $30 at Christmas was much sweeter but in case people still need MORE stamps, this is the way to go.

Thanks OP. Will use it tomorrow.

Yes.

Have others had success buying stamps with this coupon? Indeed, there is no stamp restriction, but last time I tried, the cashier got upset and refused, stating that stamps are a cash value good, much like gift cards.Lame, why wouldn't she just point you out to the sign posted near the door - no Internet coupons.

But I tend to pick the younger, dumber (male) looking ones. The older females seem to take it personally. Almost lost out on the free Dove chocolates because granny didn't think their coupon should apply.

Hehe, I do that too when i have coupons at stores I'm not sure they're going to accept. Definitely need to do a quick scan of the cashiers, before picking the line to go through.

Thanks guys!password FW

Thanks OP. Tons of FAR stuff in this weeks ad will easily make the $20 minimum. Take off the $5 and and get the extra 10% rebate rewards and this is super hot.

Why would you think that? Making a purchase, using coupons or not, and submitting a rebate are two separate actions. Use of this coupon has no bearing whatsoever on any rebates.

By the way - for the rebate weary. Walgreens has the best no hassle rebate program (excluding Staples EZRebate - and sometimes I wonder if Walgreens is still better). One time we mailed late (missed the mail pick up on Saturday so it went out Monday). My wife called Saturday and explained and the CSR said no problem. Low and behold, we got the rebate without a problem. No follow up phone calls necessary.

has anyone purchased Forever stamps using this deal?

FYI: Forever stamps are the stamps that you can purchase the stamps now and are good until USPS goes out of business. When USPS increases postage rate in the future, this stamp suppose to increase to that value so you don't have to buy 1c or 2c stamps as add ons

I am suprised they did not specifically exclude stamps this time. Many people did get stamps last time, but this is YMMV because some stores may not sell stamps or they may use the items prohibited by law condition to deny you. But, it does not hurt to try.

prohibited by law ???Which law are you talking about?

I believe the law is and correct me if I'm wrong, you can't sell stamps less then face value. It prevents businesses from using stamps as an advertising tool.---- the bottomfeeder

I did use the 5/20 in combination with the 3 12-packs of diet pepsi, 1 bag of chips, and a 24-pack of Aquafina for 11.79 deal. Tossed in random stuff that was on sale/had coupons/I needed to fill up to $20, paid $15.74 out the door. Not too bad. It's no CVS deal, but it's still good! Thanks OP!I got the pepsi deal also and you can make this hotter by buying the free after rebate stuff to get to $20.

Some people claim you can often buy old stamps for less than face value, but I am not sure how many of them are scammers http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/468965/buy_postage_stamps_at_below_face_value.html

I am not saying the prohibited by law condition is valid or not valid, I am just saying they may use that as an excuse to not allow it because they do not want to loose money on the deal.

Made my 2nd trip to WAG last night to use the coupon. No problem finding $20 worth of items for me! As I was checking out my fav cashier said "when I saw you walk through the door, I figured you'd be using this coupon" (the $5/20), he said about 6 people used it only.

Ok, so I got Feel & Learn's for 8.99 less $2 mfg, Kandoo wipes 3.99 less FREE WYB Feel & Learn's mfg coupon, Tombstone Pizza 4/$9., Blue Diamond ALmonds 3.29 x 2 - b1g1F - .75 mfg, Revlon 3.29 x 2 - $3 x 2 IVC - $2 x 2 mfg - b1g150% sale = OVERAGE, clearance root beer barrells .69, clearance DVD discs .74 x 2, and I think that was it. Fun trip!
