I also have had cashiers tell me one reward per visit and when rewards dont go thru “its because of the tax” is the STANDARD ANSWER. About 6 weeks ago ago I noticed more problems when using rewards. I think it is because they are so worried about the TAX that the rewards show up as coupons. I too find it goes smoother more often when you give them reward first, manufacturer coupon second, and their walgreens coupons last. Also I make sure I have 2-3 more items than coupons cause they dont seem happy with equal. I would like to know why so many cashiers get indignant regarding getting things free to the point they act like its coming out of their own pocket.

I went to the new Walgreens on 412 East this week with a $2.00 coupon for a $1.99 item. The Managers were both there and adjusted it without me even asking. It depends on the cashier and manager on duty.

When I did the Ecotrin I used 2 coupons so that it didn't have to be adjusted.

I purchased 2 Ecotrin = $4.00
Used 1 $2.25 coupon
Used 1 $1.00 coupon
= $0.75 out of pocket, but since the value of both coupons is less than the value of all of the Ecotrin on the transaction the registers don't beep. It's a little trick I have learned and since the RR was $2.00 I still made a little money and I didn't have to stress about my transaction.

I hope that helps a little. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

I thought I sent this already but couldn’t find it again. I see you did the Ecotrin deal….the Walgreens I went to wouldn’t adjust my 2.25 coupon to 2.00 so I had to change strategies. I’m also in Fayetteville – which Walgreens is the easiest to deal with. I’m new to this coupon thing.

Erin,

I had the meter coupons from several Newspaper Inserts. The deal is running all month long, through 5/30.

Here are the dates the coupons were in the inserts:
3/22, 2/1, 3/1
All of them were still valid, so that's why I had so many coupons.

You can also purchase these for $1.00 off Coupon Clippers if you need to and want to pay for them.

Where are you getting the contour meter coupons? And how long is the deal running??

My church has a ministry to Senior Citizens and I plan on donating them to the Church. I also have a cousin with Type 1 Diabetes so I am going to give a few of them to her.

What are you planning on doing with the meters? Any thoughts as to where to donate them?

It really depends on the transaction, because you may need an additional item for two reasons. One to make the Total Before Tax greater than the RR, and two to make the coupon count the same as the item count.

Using the RR first doesn't always solve the problem, it really depends on the transaction. Just remember to watch the coupon count and the subtotal!

On a side note, most of the time the RR don't work for me it's because the cashier accidentally scanned a coupon or RR twice. This means that the count is one more than I planned, so the last one doen't work. Re-ringing would have solved this problem too!

They did that to me as well. I’m glad you let me know I could use the RR first. I had to buy sweetarts for $.89.

anon: it is not about the amount of $$ you spend, but rather the items. Perhaps you had more coupons than items? Remember, RRs count as MQs :)

I had trouble at my Walgreens using more than one RR but I had the cashier void out the entire order and use RR’s first and then my other coupons and that worked. Seems like some changes are going on. I had about $20 worth of items and a $3.50 RR wouldn’t go thru even though my total was $8 and the girl tried to tell me it was because that was tax. Some don’t know what they are doing and you need to explain it to them no matter how long the line gets. They’ll get frustrated and do it your way.

Heather,
Don’t worry I had one Walgreens tell me they could only take one register reward per visit! I promptly emailed customer service when I got home. Oh yeah, she said what do you think they are going to give it to you for free?! Uh…yes?

Stephanie,

I saw them on a cart at one store, it was a special display that they were putting out. I also read on a forum that one manager found the display in the back when the customer asked, so you might try asking at your local store, or waiting a few days to see if they put them out.

Did anyone happen to find the Bayer crystals?
None of my stores had it in the size in this weeks ad
