Thanks!

I found mine near the coloring books, they are $0.99 each – but I haven’t seen them at my store for awhile.

There is also a $2 off neosporin in the ad on the coupon page.

Do they actually give you $1 to take the stuff out of their store….LOL? Or do they give you 1 RR? Just curious. I’ve gotten some good deals at Wags but I ALWAYS have to pay something. Haven’t learned how to get things absolutely free yet. Thanks…and GREAT job!

Elena – no they won’t pay you cash, but it works out to be a money maker after RRs. :)

I’ve been told that at Walgreens you can’t use more coupons than the number of items purchased. From what I can tell in this purchase you used 4 coupons for just 3 items. Did you have to purchase anything else as a filler item?

Darci – thanks! I totally forgot about that filler $0.33 candy that I ate in the car :)

Which paper did the coupons come from? Are there other places in the newspapers to look for coupons, other than the rp, pg, etc? Thanks

I was not able to use the children’s activity book coupon on this item as it was for “cream” or “spray” and they say this is “ointment.” It beeped when they scanned it, so they wouldn’t allow it. (Now that I look at it closer, it does say “ointment” as well.) The in-ad coupon this week (in my area anyway) was for 1 oz. products, not the .5 ounce that is on sale 2/$8. Bummer. Just FYI. :)
On a side note, my store made a resolution this year: they are going to make the “coupon girl with two babies (me) check out only at the cosmetic counter.” They explained that it wasn’t because I was difficult or took too long, it was simply that I give people “ideas” and then everyone wants to start using coupons. My response? “Well, we can’t have that, now can we?” I actually had one of the employees ask me where something was in their store today when a customer was inquiring about a product. How sad and terribly funny!
Thank to you and this lovely site, my receipt today read: Total: $8.33, Total Savings: $89.09. (and I still have $5 in RRs in hand) Not too shabby! Blessings on you and your work. :)
