Walgreens- Where have you found the new Healthy Savings Book?

[eatatmidnight]

This new Healthy Savings Book seems to be hard to find. I have been to 4 Walgreens in the Ballwin, MO area and have not found any employee who knows what it is. If you have found one, would you mind listing the store where you found it and the location in the store?

Thanks!

I can't seem to find one either in Scottsdale AZ...I've been to 3 stores and none have them....anyone have any better luck than me?

[lilacmay]

Have you inquiry with the managers? I had to inquire with our manager here in Colorado and I was told Most are found near the ads though I was also told by our manager that they don't have room for all of the books, newspapers and ads up front, so most are being stored at the front Cashier.

I found mine at the walgreens on 37th and 35th ave in Evans, Co. I asked a few people, all thought I was talking about the IVC from last month, before I found someone who decided to go looking for me. She found it behind the front reg. counter and happily handed it over to me! It really didn't seem like anyone even knew they were there.

Is there more than one Heathy Savings Book? I went to my Walgreens today and they had 2 stacks about 6 inches high. She gave me about 10 of them and then when I saw what they were I gave some back because I already have some. Is the book that everyone is looking for have a picture of an African American family on the cover? I personally want the Diabetes & You book, thats the one that has the lubriderm in right?

Walgreens across from St. Anthonys - St. Louis, MO - Had a bunch of them.
Walgreens in Farmington, MO - Had too many to count.

Out of about 20 Walgreens I've been in only 3 had any.

These are the Green Healthy Savings, Mom on the Front with 2 kids.

Hi :wavehi:
I actually haven't been out shopping this week so I've not searched for this book at my local stores. But, I did receive one in a very generous RAOK. I have all 3 books right in front of me, the November Coupon Book, the 1st Healthy Savings Book and now this new 2nd Healthy Savings Book.

I do have to say the new book and the November book are VERY similar. The same size and shape, even same thickness. The 1st HSB is a completely different shape and pretty thin.

I have looked through the new one and the November one and MOST of the coupons are exactly the same. Both state they expire on 11/28 on the front cover. The 1st HSB expires on 12/31. The back covers of both the new HSB and the November book are green, white and red.

My point is, these two books are so close in likeness and in what coupons are in them. Does anyone but me think they are being easily overlooked? Not by customers/us but by the cashiers etc. that are supposedly looking for them but can't find them? Or, that since they have basically the same coupons in them why bother putting out both?

Honestly, since I'm always on the lookout for coupon books I would quickly notice it was different. But maybe the people in charge in putting them out aren't so concerned and just think they already have some of them out. Maybe mistaking the November book for this new HSB??:shrug7:

I just counted:
The November book has 68 coupons
The 2nd (new)Healthy Savings book has 55 coupons
I also matched them coupon for coupon.
There are only 18 coupons that are either different or missing from this new HSB from the regular November book. Plus, one that is a different amount off.
See what I mean? If you glanced through them quickly they could easily be mistaken for being the same book??

[server18]

and it is as describe in the post ahead of you? Mom with 2 kids?

[fussypants]

yes, mom with 2 kids on the front:)

It also took quite a bit of looking for me to find this book today!! I finally found it in Kansas City at the Walgreens on Shawnee Mission Parkway and I think Neiman? just W of I35. It was with the November Savings books in a rack at the front of the store and is very similar as described (there were a bunch).

I'm pretty new to drug store deals - are the cashiers supposed to take the coupon once you've used it or can you keep the booklet intact and use it for various transactions? I ask because in the Almay deal the one scan automatically rang up multiple times for duplicates of the item - so I thought maybe having more than one coupon isn't necessary. In that case, I took 4 books and would be happy to share.

[AllisonL]

In Orlando, I first found it at Lakemont and Aloma. But yesterday at the same location, they were out and the cashier had never heard of it. I also found it yesterday at Bumby and Colonial, but there were only a few left.

[mama2kangaandroo]

Here in SE Virginia I can't find it at any of the 5 Walgreens I've checked.

[Coupon Crazy Lady]

Salem, Oregon... I saw one poking out underneath a register on the shelf... :whistle67: None in any of the 5 stores I went into, on the shelves, back by pharmacy... they are hiding them, I know it!!!

[auctions]

My store in GA has a bunch, should I get them to give out here? I only need one since they don't take the Qs out.

[earattic]

I finally found the Nov Healthy Saving book yesterday in New Tampa. All our stores are having Diabetes Clinics and I was in there Wednesday for that. They were giving out the Diabetes book during the clinic but the Healthy Savings book was no where to be found then . Walked in yesterday and there were 75 or so on the regular rack with the Nov coupon books!

Only if you plan on doing it in the trade or the RAOK forums

They also have them at I70 and Noland Road. I took several to RAOK and was lucky that I did b/c a cashier at the K7 and Johnson Drive location ripped the kleenex coupon out of my book.

I finally found em today in Michigan after going to 6 stores. Then I went to 2 stores after that didn't have any, never heard of it and then I found one at the last store also. So 2 out of 8 stores. I was beginning to wonder about this one....lighter green than the nov book and most of the same q's but a few diff ones

Found the November Healthy Savings book at the Wags off Buttermilk Pike in Northern Kentucky. As you enter the store the weekly ads holder has the regular November book in front of the ads on the top and on the lower level of the ad holder is the H.S. book in front of the weekly ads. If you were just quickly glancing at the holder, they look nearly the same --look for the mom on the front.

[nrpeace17]

I hadn't see these put out in any of my stores, but when I asked a manager for one, a copy magically appeared :wink7:.

[tcooper81]

Fairview Heights, IL location across from Red Robin had a ton of them on the ad rack this morning.

[Porfidio2]

My thoughts/theory on the Healthy Savings Booklet... The November Savings Books were sent out to all stores for 11/1. I think the Healthy Savings Books were sent on stores re-order of the monthly savings books. I'm sure most of the stores thought the books were the same (just different cover). I'm thinking we will see more HS books since the stores are running low/out of the November books...

Bottom line (I've found)... Don't take ANY WAGS savings book for granted!!! :giggle2:


**I could be wrong here too!**

[mollysmom]

Surprise surprise now that the kleenex deal is over these books are out in all 3 stores I shopped in today. Bad deal Wag's.

[wealthybarney]

ON the Trade Board, there are Ten Books at least.

[deannalauderman]

i live in independence ky. and i had to drive 15 miles to burlington they had a whole box filled with them. if you are from around here it is the wags next to arby's and frishes on rt.18

[eatatmidnight]

OP here. I got one this morning from the Take Care clinic. This morning the nurse practitioner gave me a bag of samples and coupons when I took dd in. There was one inside the bag. The odd thing is that last week I had asked a store employee about them and she did not know what they were. Maybe they are only available in the clinic at that location.

I got mine in a sample bag from:
Take Care clinic at Walgreens
16105 Manchester Rd
Ellisville, MO

[moma9625]

I got mine at the Monroe N.C. store. They were on the rack with the ads. They must have just put them out because they were not there Saturday.

[Supergirl9801]

I'd also grab a couple in case you run into a store like I did today who insisted on keeping my theraflu and ricola wags q...said all stores are supposed to. I had him just void it and said I'd go to one of the other stores that's supposedly "doing it wrong"!

[kidsrn]

Here in Raleigh, NC I have not found any at the 4 Wags I checked. I asked the front cashier at each location and every single one of them has no idea what I was talking about (although it would prob. seem pretty funny to someone listening to me since I was giving VERY detailed info. in describing the book)! LOL. Maybe they will magically appear.

[missylou]

i noticed that the week of free kleenex, there were no HS books at any of the WAGS in my town.

now there are.

[BLeach]

I looked at several in my area with no luck.
Yesterday I asked the pharmacist and she had no clue.
Then I described it and she looked behind the counter. Voilà she found a huge stack!!

Yippee, MM Ricola for us!!

[nma09]

I have 3 wags around me and both books are out for the taking.

[kidsrn]

Finally got 4 of the booklets on the trade board. They are still no where to be found here in any of our 4 stores.
