Thanks, I scoured that ad 3 times and didn't find it... and never would have.

In my add it shows the Purex Fabric Softner and states it is BOGO.

I tried the Maalox deal. My $2 coupons beeped. Cash register said "no matching item". When the cashier tried to push them through, first coupon worked, second wouldn't because it was listed as $0.00

My coupons said "any Maalox chewables" and that's what I got. Clerk agreed I purchased the right item. Anyone else have any problems with these coupons?

Only it didn't work out like that. What happened was this: Freestyle Lite Glucose Monitor$9.99 -$45.00 RAQ from Inner Strength Magazine +$35.01 Overage I put a bunch of stuff in my cart that I wanted to get my kids for Christmas and they rang it up. $46.78 before the coupon, $1.78 after!

I expected the coupon to produce overage when I posted the deal, but I didn't mention it on this site because I didn't want to promote a very risky deal.

Anyone thinking about doing this deal should really consider the pros and cons. It certainly is a very rewarding deal, but it isn't as easy to hide as the BeFine deal a month or so ago. IMO it is unlikely that a large percentage of people would get away with it. And when the manager or cashier catches it, you will be remembered. You aren't technically doing anything wrong, but I am sure the store manager will view it is being extremely shady. Once you are remembered for a questionable (in their mind) deal, all of your transactions with that manager/cashier will be scrutinized. If that happens, you can kiss the smaller BeFine type deals goodbye.

Has anyone tried the Jane Cosmetic BOGO yet? I noticed it the other day in the lower left corner of one of the pages (its pretty small), but I was unsure of the prices. I know there are coupons for $2 off in the September issue of All You. I have heard of this deal before at other stores being a good deal, but did not want to step foot into that store without just cause .

My current purchase had a $2 coupon inside that I took out and used!

Anybody else having trouble finding this at your RA? Looks like they don't even carry it in mine.

Yes my first one went through, but the second one beeped. I'm not sure if she tried the other two or not. (I used 4 coupons) She called another checker over and he said to push them through manually and showed her how. Well later that afternoon I was working with my coupons and realized that I must have given her a liquid Maalox coupon. I had 5 liquid and 3 chewable left. That meant I started with 12 Maalox coupons (6 each) I should have only had 2 chewables left and 6 liquid. I was sure that second coupon was a liquid and that is why it beeped. So I got in the car and went back to Riteaid with the correct coupon. Now, am I sure that was the problem? No, but I am sure that one of those coupons was wrong. They said they would switch it out and give me back my other coupon. I told them I probably wouldn't use it so not to bother and I applogized for the mix up.

Could you have possibly done the same thing? It may or may not be what caused it.

Edit.. Oops I read your post too fast, you said you used the chewables. Maybe something else is wrong. I hope Riteaid get the money back on those pushed coupons they did for me.

I couldn't find the exact one, so got another pro-health that rang up at $2.69. However, I noticed in the rebate book it said that the offer on that was only good one of the middle weeks in Oct. I think I'll just keep it - I used a $1 coupon, then buy the one for the rebate in the upcoming week - hopefully it will be available then.

They had them by me. There wasn't very many though. Just grab a raincheck and do get them when they come in.
