walgreens- Lubriderm Money Maker

[ShowersofBlessings]

I've "cleared the shelf" at 2 stores. Of course these stores only had 3 on the shelf. So I've gotten to do the deal twice. I'd love to get more, but I'm not super worried about it. I'm not assuming there are "shelf clearers" here even though I know that there are at least a few other coupon users in my area. If someone bought 200 that would be excessive, but if you want to do the deal (which means buying 3 at a time) once or twice and there are less than 10 on the shelf, I don't think it is fair to call the customer a "shelf clearer." I think I would blame the stores or the manufacturer if that was the case. Hopefully there will be enough in stock that all the customer can get what they want by the end of the month.

I agree with you, above poster. I "shelf cleared" at my store by doing the deal once so obviously I don't think shelf clearing is the real issue here. Sounds like lack of ordering or adequate stock. However, if they only have the larger sizes (which they had lots of at my store) then most customers will just buy those and not care about getting them free/mm. KWIM? My guess is that's really why they carry more of the big size and less of the small.

Okay, I figured out why I did not receive my precious $8.00 RR ...

The day that I purchased these items, the 3" x 5" RR shelf signs were not yet put up.

If they were, I would have read that this Lubriderm deal is part of a larger RR deal that includes items like:

• Ben Gay
• Tylenol
• Motrin
• Tena Serenity
• J&J First Aid
• Neospoirin

(This is a Johnson & Johnson sponsored RR promotion)

+

In the same order, I purchased the three of the Lubriderm 6 ouncers and three of the Ben Gal 4 ouncers.

Well, each RR offer is one per transaction.

I got one $8.00 RR and not two $8.00 RRs

+

I always keep my receipts so I plan on going back, asking to speak to the store manager and point out that the red 3" x 5" RR shelf signs were not yet displayed.

They should scan the items, generate the $8.00 RR and then void that transaction.

As simple as 'nailing jelly to a tree!'

This deal did not work for me today. The cashier rang up the three 6 oz. Lubriderms, next scanned the Walg q, then the register would only accept two of my insert qs. The third one beeped and the manager would not do anything to push it through.

Did I make a mistake by giving the Walg q before the insert qs?

One (just one) of the Walgreens coupons should have been enough for the three Lubriderms you purchased.

Say that each of the 6 ounce Lubriderms had a shelf price of $4.00.

$12.00 = $4.00 x 3
$03.00 = $1.00 off each of the three
=======================
$09.00 = out-of-pocket

Then there is the 'item count' vs 'coupon count.'

Three items and four (three manufacturer's and one Walgreens insert coupon).

You would have to find a 'filler' item, like a pencil or marked down single piece of Halloween candy so that you would have four items to four coupons.

I cannot even find the smaller size Lubriderm in any of my stores. So irritating!

I just re-read this whole thread I thought I saw something about an insert coupon in RP but I cannot find which one

There is a $2.00 Lubriderm coupon in the 10/11 RP.
