I'm putting together a huge list for everyone to view, so that couponers can know which stores are great and which stores are terrible. =)<br /><br />Just reminding you, since I'm seeing a lot of comments about bad Walgreens experiences. <br /><br />Thanks!Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182127439393473922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803075224697455032.post-48712017081848793602010-03-07T02:18:52.980-05:002010-03-07T02:18:52.980-05:00Anon,

She is coupon friendly, everyone else there hates my coupons. They seem to come up with coupon rules as I'm trying to do the deal, which is frustrating! Last week, they announced all Wags coupons must be handed over first, which of course totally screws up some deals. CVS and Rite Aid, on the other hand, are always wonderful. <br /><br />I wonder how the manufacture knows about the BOGO deals. That seems more like management doesn't like it, rather than the manufactures. Once Wags sends the coupons in, there is no way of knowing what deals they were used on.

For example, if you got a RR for a Purex product and used it on another Purex product, it won't print.<br /><br />Other than that, it should have printed. <br /><br />Did you buy regular detergent or the 3-in-1 sheets? The $1 RR was only on the 3-in-1 sheets. <br /><br />Hope that helps!Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182127439393473922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803075224697455032.post-55307766492083595292010-03-06T20:51:38.167-05:002010-03-06T20:51:38.167-05:00I shopped at the Walgreens in Green cove Springs -...I shopped at the Walgreens in Green cove Springs - bought 2 Purex used the BOGO coupon and a $1.00 register reward and did not get the $1.00 RR as advertised - cashier if you use a RR you don't get another - have you found this to be true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803075224697455032.post-84488770544539375892010-03-06T17:42:58.859-05:002010-03-06T17:42:58.859-05:00Since I started couponing about two months ago, I ...Since I started couponing about two months ago, I have gotten some awesome deals and even some things free! But...the drug stores are really cracking down on the whole couponing thing. For instance, at Walgreens - as of this week, they will not allow you to do a store BOGO with a coupon BOGO to get both items free. They said the manufacturers were getting upset because this was not what they originally intended. On top of that, the rewards can't always be used on future purchases if you have already used coupons. I'm wondering if it's just the stores here in NC? Rite Aid also only prints their rewards toward specific items for your future purchase. On a positive note, in the past two months, I have been able to stock up on a lot of toiletries. I'm so frustrated though with all of the restrictions that I am about ready to give up on going to the drug stores altogether. CVS has had the least hassles, but not without an occasional "we don't do that here". I definitely love saving money...just don't like putting the time and effort in only to get turned down at the register. Thanks for all of your tips - your site is easy to use and has a lot of great stuff!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803075224697455032.post-82939848729393903932010-03-06T14:47:45.620-05:002010-03-06T14:47:45.620-05:00I got the Purex detergent also at Walgreens I nabb...I got the Purex detergent also at Walgreens I nabbed 2 of them because I had 2 coupons and the cashier did not give me any issues....Also at CVS I nabbed 2 gallons of the milk using 2 $1/1 coupons but to my surprise when the ECB printed at the end of my transaction I got $2 in ECB for the milk so it was like getting 2 gallons of milk for .38 cents.....what a deal.......love itJeannehttp://www.discountdivasavingmoney.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803075224697455032.post-22336163006095008842010-03-06T13:50:55.647-05:002010-03-06T13:50:55.647-05:00I was having a terrible time at Walgreens for a wh...I was having a terrible time at Walgreens for a while.
