Okay so I think I've figured out why I'm having some trouble with this CG thing. I'm trying to buy 1 foundation..then whatever else I want (except the stuff excluded from the sale of course). I went this morning and tried to buy one foundation and a compact of eye shadow. But b/c the eye shadow is cheaper than the foundation it's automatically coming off for the RA BOGO sale and not allowing the BOGO coupon to work properly..since that q is BO foundation get a FACE product free. So, the cashier should do some kind of override either allowing the eye shadow to ring up at full value and the foundation to come off the total or just putting in the value of the foundation as the "free item" even though the coupon should be marked with the value of the eye shadow. I see why this is causing a problem for them. HOWEVER it is RA's policy to accept BOGO q's with BOGO sales and whatever way they need to get it done..we should still be able to get two products free! I'm really getting aggrevated that my store in my neighborhood is so poorly trained and has no idea how to handle these types of coupons. I left my entire basket of stuff this morning b/c they didn't even have a manager there that could "fix" it. GRRRRRR. I called the 800# and they are supposed to call the store to tell them I can use those q's. You would think retail stores would train their associates on coupon usage and not just stick them in front of a register and say "if it goes through it's good, if not it's no good"! I am just venting here....tired of being made to feel like I'm doing something criminal!

I bought the "Airwick Freshmatic Compact Imotion" at RA this morning and used the $6.00 cpn. The ad says 50% off "Imotions kit" or "Ultra Freshmatic Kit". Mine rang up at the regular price ($9.99), and I didn't notice until after I left. Should I call and see about getting it adjusted? There were NO sales prices on a lot of the shelves, so I'm not sure if I bought the wrong one or what. Anyone else have this problem? :shrug7:

Was that the ad for this week? I didnt' see the airwicks in my ad, so maybe its a regional promotion? I have tons of airwick coupons i'd like to use if they are on sale. I'm trying to decide if its worth going to RA this afternoon or not.

This is why the Q is not working in your situation. Eyes are a seperate catagory. HTH

We got them in CT.

Hmmm...well that's interesting...I would think it'd be anything you use on your face I still don't believe that's why it didn't work...after looking at the partial receipt that was printing out it was deducting the eye shadow as the "free" item for the rite aid sale...only leaving the foundation left for the coupon to attach to and of course it couldn't attach to that. So I either need to get something the same price or more expensive than the foundation or they should manually adjust it to accept both coupons..which the latter would be my preference. I could see them getting finicky about it then and saying whatever "foundation" I bought would have to be equal to or lower than the eye shadow for it to be free..which if they want to be like that then fine...:hectic1:

The free plus overage did not work for me-The register would not allow me to use all the coupons so I ended up paying a couple of bucks. I went back and used only the bogo coupon and it worked. Did anyone else have trouble with this scenerio? Not every Riteaid would let me use my bogo-2 out of 5--so if at first you don't succeed try, try again!!!

My RA only would let me use the bogo free coupons. In the end, I bought 10 used 5 coupons and they let me use the $5 off $20 coupon, which gave me overage to pay for a couple other things. Hth

Well i finally got to do the covergirl deal...after calling the customer service line, the store manager called me. He had me come in the next day. He took the bogo coupons. Also, my other complaint was that they did not take my internet coupons on johnson and johnson because they would not scan. Well he refunded me my money for those coupons.

I'm so frustrated with RA's in my area. Every single one of them has given me grief over using the CG BOGO q's. In the end I was able to do them but this last store kept trying to tell me I had to BUY one to get one free. I wasn't exactly sure how to correctly explain it so I just kept saying I'd done it at other stores and even their 800 # said I could do it that way. The manager got all uppity with me saying how long he'd been in this business and those kinds of coupons don't work that way. Finally in the end I was able to do it but then they decided to impose a limit on me. I know they have the right to do that but had I been Joe Shmoe walking in wanting to buy 10 CG w/o q's I doubt they'd have imposed a limit on me then. I feel like we're being discriminated against since we use coupons and I'm really sick and tired of it.
