Dead Deal: Walgreens Oct 19 - Oct 25 (Full Ad Scans)

[bthomas]

I didn't see this posted so here it goes... On pg. 17 of the ad beside the Sudafed deal it says Sudafed or SUDACARE. Under it, it says 3 pk Shower soothers.

SudaCare Shower Soothers, 3pk., GDA
TOTAL: $.97 for 3 or $1.47 for 3 (depending on q's)
SALE: $3.99
MQ: $2 IP (in Database), and/or $1.50 MQ(10-05-08 RP)
AD Q: n/a
S Q: n/a
MIR: n/a
RR: $5 RR (Buy 3, get $5 RR)
MATH: 3.99 x3 =$11.97 -$6(3 $2 IP's)=$5.97(OOP)-$5 RR= $.97 for 3
-or (if you're like me & can only get your hands on 2 IP's) 3.99 x3= $11.97-$5.50 (2 $2 IP's & 1 $1.50 MQ)=$6.47(OOP)-$5 RR= $1.47 for 3

Hope I'm right about this one! I've been wanting to try them!

What is a shower soother?

Here's what Walgreens.com says:
From the makers of Sudafed. Comforting care when you are congested.
Releases soothing eucalyptus, menthol and camphor vapors. SudaCare Shower Soothers react with the water in your shower to create steamy vapors of eucalyptus, menthol and camphor to temporarily comfort you when you are congested.
The Shower Solution tablet uses a patented technology to instantly release a unique blend of vapors on contact with running water. Simply place a tablet onto the floor of your shower for soothing comfort all shower long - a comforting way to start - or end - your day when you are congested from sinus, cold or allergies.

Sounds nice to me!

I bought the Shower Soothers last year when CVS had a deal on them. I really like them. It is great to use on a day when you have a stuffed up nose. It really clears it up. They are little tablets (like Alka Seltzer) that you drop in your shower. It smells like mentho-lyptus. I would actually pay OOP for these without coupons if I had a stuffed up head.

Pretty sure it is a match- the pictured one in the box is EXACTLY the same box as the one I got rebated for last month. I do not foresee a problem in getting the free item with the purchase of the raincheck FAR.

I hope you're correct. My concerns were based on the ad not saying concentrate, and the sizes saying .5 to 1.7 ounces (with only two items listed), while the concentrate is 1.0 ounce. But we'll find out soon enough.

I don't get WG ads in my paper so I am only going off the scanned copy here, which gets very fuzzy when you blow it up (and the ad is not on the WG site yet).

I bought my Sunday paper today and found the 10-19-SS and it does not have a Pert coupon in it. Is there another SS that does have this coupon?

Mine does have it. Philly Inquirer.

Just got back from Walgreens.

Cherry Flavored Alka Seltzer does NOT generate the RR.

I bought 1 St. Ives and only got $2.00 RR and since I did not have an advertisement about this deal to show to the manager, I didn't complain about it so I actually ended up paying some OOP money for this.

I really messed up. I did 2 seperate transactions. I did the theraflu and got my rr. I then did the maalox thinking it was a seperate deal and didn't get my rr. I didn't realize til I got home that it was the same deal. But the manager refunded my money.

If you did it two seperate transactions then you still should have received your RR for both deals. I don't see how you messed up.

I did ok today. No St.Ives and no Elmo Halloween DVD that I wanted. Other than that had a pretty good day.

Theraflu Overage
TOTAL: 3.98 get 8 RR
SALE: 4.99
MQ: $2/1 10/19 S,
MFR MIR: Theraflu Warming Relief up to $6.99 10/19 S
AD Q: Page #
ES Q: Page #
ESMIR: #
RR: Buy 2 get 4 RR, buy 3 get 8 RR.
MATH: 14.97- $6 MFR Q-4.99 MFR MIR = 3.98 get 8 RR

Actually, this is one of those rebates where they will subtract the $2 coupon from the amount you get back. So it will look like this:

Theraflu Overage
TOTAL: 5.98 get 8 RR
SALE: 4.99
MQ: $2/1 10/19 S,
MFR MIR: Theraflu Warming Relief up to $6.99 10/19 S
AD Q: Page #
ES Q: Page #
ESMIR: #
RR: Buy 2 get 4 RR, buy 3 get 8 RR.
MATH: 14.97- $6 MFR Q-2.99 MFR MIR = 5.98 get 8 RR

Still a nice profit - just not as nice as if they did not subtract the coupon amount.
