The RR are good for most any general merch. except gift cards, although some people have gotten gift cards with an unknowing clerk.

My RR have an expir. of March 21, so 2 weeks from being generated.

Yesterday when I went to do the Shampoo deal I got about 5 sets in my cart and the lady at the register called over the manager and she said that I couldn't buy that many items, especially since I was using manufacturer coupons. I was there at the sale on the last day and there were PLENTY items left. She said she needed to have extras for other people. LOL...

The idea is that the store wants to make money. These OTHER people never showed up because I asked if I could come back at 9pm, store closed at 10pm, to buy what I had in the cart. When I got back to the store they had taken my cart and put it in the back somewhere and claimed that a bunch of people came in and bought all the sale items.

I thought that was so ridiculous, so I went over the section and the manager came over and said I could only buy one item that was on sale.

I am GOING to call Walgreens corporate about this. I was prepared to buy a LOT of products, and they aren't on sale anymore, they lost my business, and RR will be accepted at other stores as well!

Anyways, abiut the viactiv. THe manager was saying coupon only said will take four, so I said ok, ring them up in fours with my other products. So she did, but then rang up all the rest (6) with the net order and coupon worked fine.
That manager thought she was saving money or something, but I always thought they had products on the shelf to sell.

It will be funny when those products go on clearance and I use coupons to get them for free then...

Stupid manager

Luckily I searched and found this post before starting a new one, but I wanted to update.
Yesterday at a Walgreens in Scottsdale, AZ had the Viactiv Glides marked down to $2.12 on clearance. The 7-day ad had a $3.00 off coupon (limit 4), and the 5/11/08 P&G had a $2.00 off coupon for this size. I was buying extra stuff so wasn't worried about going into the negative, but I had the vitamins figured at $8.48 - $12.00 - $2.00 for a gain of $5.52. This was gonna' be my best ever money gaining shopping experience so I watched the cashier carefully. When he put in the $3.00 off coupon, it took off $8.48. I asked him why it wasn't $12.00, but he seemed confused and didn't really understand, so I let it go. Seems to me Walgreens has the coupons and registers set up to be sure you don't get more back than what you spent on the individual item. Darn! I tried to follow the FW rules too, by ringing up everything, then usinig my RR's first, THEN using the coupons. Still a great deal though!
