(new) Walgreens BRAG THREAD: post your brags here )

[Mikki 316]

The old thread is 55 pages. Time for a new one!

[K1978]

Here is what I did today to roll some of my RR before they expired:
#1
Bic Soleil Razors $4.99- used $3 MQ and $1 RR—spent $.99 and got $1 RR
2 Aussie (mousse and gel) $5.98—used $2 off 2 MQ and $2 RR—spent $1.98 and got $2RR
1 Walgreen Activity Book (for the coupons) $.99 and great filler!
Total spent with tax $4.80 and received $3 in RR

#2
Aquafresh Iso-Active paste $3.49—used $1 MQ and $2RR—spent $.49 and got $1.50RR
2 Crest 6.4 oz toothpaste $4—used 2 $.50 MQ and $1 RR—spent $2 and got $2RR
Need fillers for 3 items and 5 coupons:
Bought 4 Butterfinger bars using in-ad Nestle coupon $.49 each (only needed 3 I think)
Total spent with tax $5.21 and received $3.50RR

#3
2 Aussie (shampoo and cond) $5.98—used $2 off 2 MQ and $2 RR—spent $1.98 and got $2RR
Total with tax $2.46 and received $2RR

So, now I have a $2RR from Aussie and the $1.50RR from Aquafresh. I think I will roll that into crest or Oral B.

[wunsagin]

I haven't been able to play much since May, thought I had lost my touch. I went in last week and bought a few things, no strategy planned out but I did end up with some rr's. SO..... tonight.............

bic soleil 4.99
thermacare 2.49
Samy shampoo 5.99
Samy mousse 5.99
Total 19.46


used
Samy B1G1 in the ad -5.99
3/1 q razor
-5 rr
-4 rr
Total oop 1.47

got back 1rr and 2.50 rr PLUS I'll get a cash rebate of 8.99 so a profit of $11.02 :BigHand:


samy shampoo, my store had on clearance and it's in the ad B1G1 PLUS there is a neck tag (I guess you call it that) on the shampoo, MIR purchase price and if you buy a Samy styler product recieve an additional 3.00

[caitlyn12284]

I made a quick stop in this morning before work to grab some more nail polish and I ended up getting

4 All Liquid 3x concentrate detergents for $1.79 ea. - $7.16
2 Therma Care Heat Wraps $2.49 ea. - $4.98
Aussie Shampoo - $2.99
Sesame Street coloring book - $.59
3 Sally Hansen Nail Polish - $7.47

I used the Sally Hansen RR I had from a previous transaction (earlier in the week) plus 2 $1 coup. and then did seperate transactions and used the RR I received and ended up with an oop of $3.23 and another $5 Sally Hansen RR. not the best, I know, but good for me! I haven't been doing to much for whatever reason lately so this is me jumping back in!!

[Mikki 316]

Great job, everyone!

[Flicker]

Okay, I am embarrassed to admit that I went to something like 8 Walgreens stores yesterday, albeit on my way to somewhere else. On I think my 7th stop (I think) I hit the motherload:

Clearance tylenol cold day/night head congestion 24 count on CLEARANCE for $1.87 PLUS I used either the
$1/1 healthy savings booklet OR
$1/1 manufaturer's online printable AND got a $5 register reward for purchasing 2!

I scored 8 boxes, yahoooo! A MONEYMAKER!

I didn't have the guts to try and use the healthy savings booklet $1/1 and manufacturer's Q to see if I could, since I had to do at least 4 different ransactions in the store and didn't want to cause any problems. They also had a LOT of clearance items including:

Kingsford charcoal for $1.62,

Contact lens saline for $0.79,

Pur water flavor cartridge refills for $3.00 and

A lot of clearance ink for $2 which I use to refill my own color ink cartridge even if its not the same type of cartridge (I just figure out how to get the ink out, albeit messy but a HUGE money savings for me).

Happy WalGreensing!

flicker :whistle67:

[moxi]

Clearance:

Febreeze Candles $1.78 $2/1 counpon=.22 money maker.
I bought 10

Charmin Basics 9 roll $1.09

[pstory321]

I have learned SO much from Walgreens threads & all contributors!!!! I went this morning and spent 4.65 on candy bars (couldn't find anything lower than .59 other than a really funky looking salt shaker in the shape of a fish) and saved 69.66. Fabulous checker, very sweet and patient (store was devoid of people as it was 8:00 am.) Here's what i got;
3 fusion razors (one for so, 2 for bil)
3 lotion (donating to women's shelter)
3 dentek (donating to women's shelter)
2 halls (donating to women's shelter)

I am having so much fun this week.
Free toothbrushes, dental pics, hand lotion, cough drops.
Cheap razors and shampoo.
My family is going to love their Christmas Baskets all thanks to Walgreens !

[MrsAlias]

You'll need one more filler, as you have 5 coupons, and only 4 items. :smile: Where is the Purell coupon?

Purell Product, Any Excluding 1 Fl. Oz. Size - 08-02-09 SS

I have 5 items... there are two gums!

[jbrookew1]

Ok - so to begin with I had $7 RR and $8 RR I had to roll -

Transaction 1

3 Theraflu @4 = $12 - $6 WAGS Q = $6
1 Dentek @$2 = $2 - $1 Q = $1
subtotal = $7 - $7RR + 0.60 tax = 0.60 OOP
(generated $8 Novartis RR and $2 Dentek RR)

Transaction 2
1 Vaseline Lotion @ $6.99 - $1.25Q = $5.74
1 oral b advantage @ 3.00 - 0.75 Q = $2.25
1 clearance/filler pencil @ 0.25 = 0.25
subtotal = $8.24 - $8RR + .77 tax = $1.01 OOP
(generated $7 Unilever RR & $3 P&G RR)

Transaction 3
3 Theraflu @4 = $12 - $6 WAGS Q = $6
1 Halls Refresh SugarFree $1 = $1
subtotal = $7 - $7 Unilever RR + 0.53 tax = 0.53 OOP
(generated $8 Novartis RR and $1 Cadbury RR)

So when all was finished I was left with $22 in RRs - so that was an increase of $7 of RR's (from my orignial $7RR + $8RR = $15 RR).
and an OOP of $2.14 -
Making the end result an overall profit of $4.86!!!
I was so pleased because we always use Theraflu in the winter - and, of course, we use toothbrushes and dental floss - so to essentially earn $4.86 "buying" those items felt so great!!

good luck to everyone - I will be back to WAGS as soon as i get a chance to roll those RR's!

If the gum RR you are talking about is the Trident then that is why you did not get an RR for the Halls. They are both made by Cadbury.:whistle67:

[MrsAlias]

I did not get my gum RR's today.. , I should have gotten 6, so the manager just rang up the purell again and gave me 3 extra 2.00 RR's... never would I have dreamed that Halls also made Trident.. now I know why it did not work... I feel bad.

[mommy22girls]

That was probably it. Thanks. So hard to keep companies straight. Still good deals anyways.

I am pleased as punch to have done some good rolling on the last couple of weeks RR's -last week and today I got:
4 tubes Bengay
2 bottles Visine
2 cans tomato soup
2 Nyquil
1 can Salmon
3 candy bars
4 bottles Ragu
5 jars Skippy
2 bags Halls
2 M&M's (singles)
2.77 total, and had I not bought the candy bars which I did not need as fillers I would have spent about 1.47 and I still have 8 RR to spend.

[uummm]

I am not a regular Wags shopper, I have been going in one day a week lately, though last week I went on Saturday with time to waste while in Greenville SC then on Sunday only purchased the $.88 sunday paper ($.88 blows my mind! it is $2 in Charlotte!). I had a $3 RR and $2 from the week prior. I actually wasn't planning on getting much but some of us are sick and needed Nyquil and Wags had the best deal!

#1
2 Nyquil
paid $10 something used my FSA card.
Received $5 RR

#2
2 Nyquil
paid $10 something used my FSA card.
Received $5 RR

#3
2 Nivea Aftersave Balm
used $3 RR and $5 RR
Paid $2 something
Recieved $4 RR

#4
6 Ragu
2 Skippy
used 2 $.40/1 skippy
used 2 $1.25 ragu
Used $5 RR, $4 RR
paid $1.31
Oh yeah, got my $8RR and I still have a $2 one to use... I need to figure out how to get what I want/need and get me back to 6 Ragu and 2 Hellmans. I am thinking I will get the razor and some chapsticks or something...

I added wrong and I should have not used a Ragu Q and used the $2 rr I had handed the kid. He purposely used the Ragu Q since I handed them all to him. Oh and he also tried to tell me I could only use ONE COUPON PER PURCHASE-on the Ragu. I had to explain to him the difference between a transaction and purchase which then drew attention to the fact I was getting 6 Ragu and 2 Skippy for $1.31.

I wiped my shelf clean of Ragu, actually of only the traditional they only had 5....does that make me a shelf cleaner? I mean they are encouraging you to buy 8. I did see they had skippy in 2 spots in the store. I would have gotten more skippy but for some reason I could only find 2 of my 5 coupons I had...

Out of curiosity...

I see lots of people (not just this thread) who post about getting 10, 15 or even 20 boxes of bandaids, 25 packs of halls cough drops etc.

I understand the sense of stockpiling to save up for your family, but I wonder...

Do you really use *all* of those bandaids? I very often find myself picking something up that I would get for pennies or free, and putting it back because I already have so many unopened.

Do you use them all? Save them? Donate them? Put them all on the inside of a poster frame and make a picture?

Just curious:whistle67:

My kids, esp. 4 yr. old goes through a lot of Band-Aids, but I have never gotten 20 bokes at a time.

As far as the Hall's Refresh I am keeping some and giving some to family.

Just curious:whistle67:

I don't do that great at Walgreens but when I get free/money maker stuff at other stores, if it is something I either don't care for or have way too many of, I donate them. Bandaids, I would probably keep a few boxes and donate though same with Halls. However, my kids (youngest 10) don't go through bandaids like I remember my mom complaining about when we were kids. Nothing would upset her more than needing a bandaid for a true boo boo and we would be out of them because my sister would get the tiniest of of a scratch (wouldn't even break the skin!) and need a bandaid. I find I have bandaids everywhere and we rarely use them and they never seem to be in a box either!

I was wondering if those TMF were still on the Sure deo's when I saw it in the ad...I did that a few months ago. Don't know if I can do it again or not butI will get the deo anyway since it will be FAC! :BigHand:

Here is where you get the rebate form www.trysurefree.com (http://www.trysurefree.com) , it is Sure for Men that the form is for and you have to put the sticker on the form so don't toss it!!

My first post to your website...

I have been using this website for about 3 weeks now and I've learned how to roll the WAGS rr's with coupons and save $. I LOVE THIS WEBSITE.

Here are my purchases of the day.


12 cans of Bumble Bee tuna
2 bottles of Pert for Men 3 in1 shampoo/conditioner/bodywash
1 bottle vaseline vitamin boost lotion
7 bottles of Theraflu liquid in 4 varieties
2 bottles of Triaminic in 2 varieties
1 sure deoderant
8 bags of ricola cough drops
3 bottles of ecotrin low dose asprin
2 bags of candy corn
2 bags of Reece's Pieces candy

After rolling rr's and coupons total oop was $9.04 and I have $31 in rr's.

I am so excited about this website!:wavehi:

[SavnInIL]

HOW - I really need the theraflu deal but seems too much oop -are there q's for it? I want to roll that into the razors back and forth ...thx so much for the details!


I purchased 7 bottles of theraflu using the $3.00 mq and a $2 walgreens coupon to make them free. Only one of the 2 walgreens close to my home would let me do this though.

[niecey1996]

HOW - I really need the theraflu deal but seems too much oop -are there q's for it? I want to roll that into the razors back and forth ...thx so much for the details!

$2/1 Q for Theraflu in the 10/18 SS, and $2 Wags q I think it's in the Healthy savings booklet.

HTH :wavehi:

[MamaCas]

My Walgreens had a TON of stuff on clearance today, 50%-75% off. I picked up a lot of little stocking stuffers, plus some Transformers toys for my guys ($2! and it had candy! lol), but there was also a display thing of Mentos gum marked down to .40 each and there are .55/1 Q's out there, so free gum!

[nam1958]

I started no RRs and that was the point. I wanted to see and will continue to watch how far I can take them. I know have $49 in RR and about out of coupons for the week so am trying to look ahead to next week to set my self up.

[nam1958]

I know I NOW have .................... The keyboard does not work like the mind.

[QponClippinQueen]

Omg I am on a 2 day high from Walgreens total Spent is $14.37 but I saved $165.52

I'm at work so don't recall 100% but this is what I can recall getting

4 Pert
2 Zantac

2 Trident
4 Triaminic

I still have $22.50 in RR that I want to use this week (or atleast some of them) to finish up the q's I have left. Not to mention that the Asst. Manager was my cashier and I though for sure she would put a stop to my 4 transactions but nope I was rushing and she kept saying relax don't worry about take your time.. :) Went to a second walgreens the next day and the cashier was cool with it but I think I'll stick to the first walgreens.

Not sure if my Target High beats this or not...

I always thought I was doing very well At Walgreens telling people that I spend less than 5% of retail. About 10 days ago I used all of My RRs to buy something there and decided to start tracking every transaction at Walgreens. The record shows that after starting with no RRs my first purchase was The Dentak floss useing a $1 mfg Q from there and 18 transactions later I have discovered that Walgreens pays me 10% or better to take thing out of the store. I now have $194.xx in product, am holdig $45 in RR and have spent $26 in cash. Since my last post on my page trackin this I have collected anothe $10 in RR and about $60 in product spending only $2 oop. I feel bad telling people it cost me 5% to shop at Walgreens. I sould research my statements better before I open my mouth. They did not beleive me before and I din't think they will believe the new numbers either. I love to shop at Walgreens.

Sorry about the spelling in the previous post, in reviewing it after I posted I think it makes sense.

Out of curiosity...

I see lots of people (not just this thread) who post about getting 10, 15 or even 20 boxes of bandaids, 25 packs of halls cough drops etc.

I understand the sense of stockpiling to save up for your family, but I wonder...

Do you really use *all* of those bandaids? I very often find myself picking something up that I would get for pennies or free, and putting it back because I already have so many unopened.

Do you use them all? Save them? Donate them? Put them all on the inside of a poster frame and make a picture?

Just curious:whistle67:

Some of the things I buy in mass quantities when there is an excellent sale (oatmeal, liquid hand soap, mouthwash, bodywash) will definitely be used up in my home. Other things I buy like crazy because they make great stocking stuffers and gift bag fillers (bandagess, cough drops, mini-first aid kits, trial size health & beauty products, candles). Your idea of converting stockpile items into art has some appeal, though. If people stare at urinals and call it art, certainly some masterfully arranged toothpaste would attract some attention.

[shannon1189]

I only have 2 RR right now :( somehow I have not been working wal-greens to my benefit. I have been getting good deals but not like some of you. Congrats to all the goodies.

[SavnInIL]

What is the deal with the Ricola cough drops and the ecotrin? Do they have a RR or what am I missing??? do tell!!!:smile:

I believe it was the 10/4 SS or RP had a coupon for buy 1 ricola cough drop and get a bag of the new Mixed berry with Vit C for free. The Ecotrin was in the 10/11 SS or RP and was get $2 off 1 ecotrin asprin product and they also had a coupon for $7 off any two of the item from the OTC line from GSK. I bought 3 bottles of the low dose asprin for $3.48 each and used the $9 in coupons.

I had to laugh when I read this post....I asked myself the same thing as I was picking up the 10th, 11th, and 12th bottle of triaminic, cause I was getting it for free after coupons. I came to the conclusion that with one child who has only missed 1 1/2 days of school in the past 3 years I don't need 12 bottles of triaminic. Even if I got it free. So I called up my sister-in-law who has 4 kids and a husband who is constantly bringing home germs from being a cop and asked her if she wanted some. I have decided that if I can't use all of them within 12 months, I don't need that many. I've also decided that if we would never use it at our house...it doesn't matter if it makes me money to buy it...I'm still not buying it. :smile:

Thanks, I would not have looked for the coupon $7/2, and I would have missed that there was a $10/3 ecotrin right next to it!! That will make for some cheap low dose aspirin!! THANKS!!!:thanks7::thanks7::thanks7:

Not only was there a B1G1 free coupon but there was also a $0.50 WAlgreens coupon for the Ricola. When you use two of the B1G1 and one of the Wags .50 (one will cover both items) you end up with a $1.00 overage. You need to use the B1G1 first in this tranastion to get the overage. Useing that stratgy, some of the RRs I earned this week along with a few other mm out there I bought 15 newspapers for less than $3 oop. I now am stocked with coupons for the upcoming week at Walgreens. Although I have not yet figured out what to do with all of the beeno and stool softener that will be coming my way. Don't think it will pass as art.:hysterical:

You guys are incredible with the WAGS deals. I'll try again. Last weekend I was about to throw in the towel on them because yet AGAIN I had issues with the computer not accepting particular RRs. The manager ended up being cool about it and overrode stuff but I hate feeling like I'm gearing up for war when I go to Walgreens for RRs. Fix the system already Walgreens! The sales people have been kind, fortunately!

[marion10]

Today I got:

1 Herbal essence conditioner (coupon for one free)

[Tracy_in_Missouri]

wow 32 mascaras
how did you do that im new to walgreens plz break it down ...

If you look at the picture you will see a couple of different kinds. 5 of them were paired with the 5 foundations. In most of those transactions I ALSO purchased 2 of the other mascaras which netted $1 profit, making the foundation/mascara purchase cost $9 and get back $15 in RRs :biggrin:

There are 2 different kinds of deals :
Pure Blends Foundation & mascara
One Coat ( b1g1) Mascara.

The pure blends are the one that are shrink wrapped with no cardboard.
The funniest thing is I dont wear makeup. I cant afford Christmas this year so I've been trying to think ahead and out of the box a little.

[MrsAlias]

I have 23 wags within 10 miles of my house!

I scored:
45 cans of tomato sauce, all free
20 cans of tomato soup, all free
4 mascaras (which I needed!)

I also found the MOST COUPON UNFRIENDLY store EVER! I wont be going back!!

[warcraftbaby]

Huh. After reading yall's brags I feel all piddly about mine LOL!

1 pure blend foundation $9.99
1 pure blend mascara $6.99 (but my store BOGO is ringing up so free)
2 Tag body spray ($4x2=$8)
3 lubriderm lotion 6oz ($3.79x3=$11.37)
2 spider goblets (fillers) (.37x2=.74)
4 candy bowls (fillers) (.24x4=.96)

Had $23 in RR from last week (that's why all the fillers, but hey I have black bowls and spider goblets now, my dishes are becoming totally awesome!) after those and $2x2 lubriderm qs+BOGO Tag q subtotal was .06 (but darn IA tax is BEFORE qs so I had to pay $2.23OOP with tax) and got back $25 in RR ($8 Lubriderm, $10 Almay foundation, $5 Almay mascara, $2 Tag spray) Here I was all sad about this week and then discovered those Almay+Lubriderm deals and now all is right with Wags hehe.

I checked 2 of our wags so far and no go on smaller Lubriderm =0(

[nam1958]

I had trouble this evening when I ran up agianst a Lady chcker at Walgreens that thought she was a coupon cop. She did not stand a chance when she ran across me, I came armed with two murses of coupons, $40.00+ in RRs, the Walgreens Corporate phone number and a ego that would not fit in the cart I was pushing. This checker read every coupon, first questioning the Ip coupon for the free Hunts tomato sauce. She tried to tell me that Walgreens did not accept Ip coupons, I simply replied "Yes you do." That may have been the wrong thing to say but I won, she then said the $1 coupon was only worth $0.33 and pulled out a pen to try to write on the coupon. I informed her that it is a $1 coupon and that if she wrote on that coupon it would be worth 0 and we would then need to deal with a manager to get my $1 back. She quickly called a manager which looked at me and my murses then the coupon and then ok'ed the coupon. After scanning the mfg coupons for the Lubriderm I handed the checker my Walgreens coupon for the same product, she once again tried to inform me that it would not work, about this time I was getting tierd of educating this lady on the Walgreens coupon policy and offered to call the Walgreens corporate office so she could get this straight, she passed on the offer and scanned the coupon and it worked. She then quoted me the total and it was over a dollar, I gave her one of those looks like "What are you Nuts?" so we reviewed the receipt as the line grew behind me. Well the cost on the lotinn was $4.29 instead of $3.97, Its hard to admit but I screwed up, but yeah I Did. well I pulled out a $1.00 RR and added one more pencil and brought the total well under a dollar. We finished the transaction and the checker placed all of the coupons and the RRs ($3.50) that I used in the bag with the products I had purchased. She then started to ring out the next customer with out handing me my RR, That won't fly. I informed her that I was to receive a $8 RR and she looked at me like I had just landed on the planet. I could see the RR that had printed but she did not want to give it to me. She grabbed it off the printer and then looked at me and said "I don't think this is right" I informed her that it seemed right to me. She said I don't know... and I then jumped in and asked her if she would like to see the recent letter I received from the Corporate office about RRs. She declined and handed me the RR, I left the store and sat down to add up my profit, I picked up 3 bottles of lotion, 3 cans of Hunt's tomato sauce and two pencils for just under $0.50. I used $3.50 in RRs, 4Mfg coupons and 2 Walgreens coupons which the checker was nice enough to place in the bag with the product I had picked up and to boot I got my $8 RR for the effort. I really can't think of any reason to shop any where else. Walgreens allready pays me to shop and now they are recycling coupons and RR, What a place.

[ccenr]

I use ip's at a lot of stores. I did however run into one wags that would not accept them. I called corp, and the policy as of a few months ago was that they do NOT accept them. obviously we run into different "policies" in different stores but that's what corp said.

[melaniee]

I think you should have given the coupons back. I wouldn't have gone to her level - be above it.

I, too, think you should have given the coupons & register rewards back to the cashier. If you expect the cashiers to the the right thing, you should do the right thing yourself.

give me a break, If I use the wrong RR to complete a transaction they don't redo the transaction so I come out ahead. I went to the counter well prepared with all of the correct valaid coupons. It is her job to complete the transaction correctly, If she had been a bit more customer freindly things may have ended up differently. I have preformed customer service evalations at Walgreens for several years and I know that the Walgreens checkers are expected to treat their customers with respect by the Walgreens Corporate offices. This Checker acted as if I was taking from her and it was her job to stop it, well we all know that a MFG coupon does not cost the store and infact is a marketing tool put out there by the MFG intended for the use by the consumer to get the consumer to try a product. It is not a checkers job to in any way to try to curb this activity. I do my home work and Infact I am a becentsable educator and tell people to greet your checker with a smile and thank each and ever one at the end of your transaction and expect the same of them. This may seem a bit hard line to some but it is what Walgreens expect of their staff and what I expect when I spend my money, make that time at Walgreens. I needed to put up an extra effort to complete this transaction and earned everything I received. If the checker would have paid attention to job at hand rather than working to stopping me from using coupons to get the best deal possible she may have completed the job at hand correctly.

[quote=nam1958;2118674 . This Checker acted as if I was taking from her and it was her job to stop [/quote]By not taking the coupons back then you made her right. Remember coupons are a form of payment and by walking out with the items and you Q's that is stealing and that would give us all a bad name.

I respect your point of view but disagree in this case. This checker was working to cheat me of what was rightfully mine to use and I have corrected checkers in the past on matters like this even if it did not benfit me. But I will never help a checker to his/her job when they beleive it is their job to stop a customer from getting the best deal they can get for them selfs. That is in fact the reason I use coupons. Most of the checkers I deal with are in fact freindly and would be deserving of a little help in matters like this. I can not belive that this checker was that un educated on the Walgreens coupon policy and if she was it is then the fault of the managment of this store and not my problem. This was not stealing, This employee placed them in the bag and handed me the bag and my receipt and then had the nerve to try to tell me that I would not get the register reward that had already printed for me. She was trying to enforce her own personal opinion on my transaction and failed to relize that what I was doing was not only leagal but repeated by millions of people each day across this country. Growing up I was always told to treat people like how you expect to be treated, I treated this checker better than she treated me, I at least thanked her after my transaction was complete which was a lot more than she intended or did for me.

I would have taken the bag with the merchandise, coupons and RRs to the manager on duty, showed them the receipt and clearly pointed out that the coupons were USED and then RETURNED to you in your bag. I would have then made it a point to tell the manager BRIEFLY what occured and how the cashier PUT the coupons in your bag.

[nam1958]

I like that approach and if I relived the experence another time I would like to think I would go that route. I have to admit that it would only be a consideration after having this discussion here though. Thanks

Kleenex Deal-

I stopped in 6 Wags and finally found the Healthy Savings book with the Kleenex Q. NOW FOR THE SPENDING!! Going back to the Wags!
Store 1-Cashier said I had too many coupons. I didn't but on store 3 I found out what the beep was for...85 ct. not 80 ct. Kleenex--left with NOTHING!
Store 2-Cashier wouldn't take 2 Wags Q's for the same item. She said I would have to use the Q from the weekly ad or the Q from the Healthy Savings book.---left with NOTHING!

I'm determined if nothing else.

Store 3-SMOOTH! Chose not to rock the boat with the $.50 Manufacture Q.
Store 4- A little bumpy-I had to bring out the receipt from Store 2 to help the cashier. Used the Man. Q. but my filler was a little high.
Store 5- A little bump-Used the receipt to show again but my filler was much better---the holiday cup and 3 boxs of kleenex=$.06!!!!!:BigHand:

I still have 4 more Q's!!

[nam1958]

Ok folks clue me in on the almay deal, I am suppling baskets for 5 families that both my wifes and my office has adopted for the holidays. A couple of the families have teenage daughters and I think the Almay may work well for them. I have tons of personal care products but would like to try to personalize the baskets a bit.

[CountryMom]

The best Almay deal was last week where at most of the stores the Almay was ringing up BOGO.

This week buy Almay Pure Blends face makeup for 9.99 get a $10. RR.

AND Almay Pure Blends mascara, eye shadow or lip gloss (not sure of price this week) get a $5 RR. (this is not that great IMHO)
