I did not get a RR I was told that it didn't matter about coupons I should have gotten the RR - but online on walgreens.com it says this "Purchase amount of $25 or more must be before taxes and after all manufacturer and Walgreens coupons and discounts. Limit one coupon per customer per offer." Of course the date was, '*Valid in Walgreens stores through December 6, 2008.' Should I contact catalina like you stated in earlier posts for the $10 RR or was I not eligible? Now this leads me to my next question. I plan on going back to buy more things. I will get RR's on the purchases I plan on getting. But, If I use those RR on a 2nd transaction, will I not get more RR? For example: If I buy the vidal sasson hair straightener for $19.99 it is supposed to give me a $10 RR back - so I get it for $9.99. But, if I use a couple RR to pay for it (I am aware I cannot use more coupons then items - so I will throw in some cheap fillers) will I not get the $10 RR ? Or, will I still get the RR for the purchase - even if I pay for it with RR. This is just an example - I plan on doing different transactions kinda like that. thanks in advance

The buy $25/get $10 RR was last week at Wags; did you go last week (March 8–14)? The Jumbo packs of Huggies were on sale for $10. A few other things were included in that promotion as well, including Kleenex. If you purchased the correct items during the right time frame, you should have got the RR, regardless of whether you used coupons or not. Call the Catalina company and have your receipt on hand.

You can use RRs to pay for other purchases that generate RRs as long as they are not from the same promotion/company. So you couldn't use the RR on the straightener to buy the hairdryer and get another RR. You can't use an RR from P&G to get another P&G RR. But you could use a Huggies or Coke RR to pay for the straightener. My Wags is now only letting me use one RR per purchase; I posted above asking whether that is a new policy or just my Wags, but no one's answered. You may want to ask at your store.

Welcome to HCW and the WAG forum!
The Huggies diaper promotion was last week, so you weren't eligible for the RR if you did the transaction this week.
You can use RRs to pay for a different transaction, as long as they are not the same RRs you are expecting from the transaction. Also, P&G RRs cannot be used on P&G products (wording on their RRs).
Hope that makes sense. If not, post more questions.

The Huggies Diaper RR is over, was a week? or two ago........so nope you are not entitled to the RR for that deal.

If you use a RR to pay for an item that produces a RR, just make sure you don't use the same RR you got for purchasing it. Don't buy the gillette gamer razor with a RR you got from purchasing a gamer razor.

I think you have the idea of how it works. Good Luck

Unless the RR has that wording (like the Holiday Cash RR did), then your should be able to use more than one per transaction. Keep in mind that the store manager sets the policy for that store, so they can limit if they so choose.

Thank you - I understand. I went to the walgreens and got rr for the reach toothbrushes and one deoderant ($6 RR and a $1 RR) I saw that the $25 get $10 RR is on Johnson and Johnson Baby stuff and also a $30 get $10 RR on Aveeno - I have $2 off any avenno coupons. I saw the face cleaner I use is on sale for $5.99 so I am going to do that for the $10 RR. Thanks for your help. I did find out that I can use more than one RR to pay for items. I accidenlty used my RR I got to buy the same thing again when we went back because I added the buy one get one free purex (I also had a save 50cents coupon) because my hubby told me to use them and I didn't think. I didn't get any back :( - I went to the manager and he allowed me to return them and then rebuy them to get my $6 and $1 RR. I was soo happy.

Thanks everyone for your help - you're soooo wonderful!

I just came back from Wags (it's one that I don't normally go to), I stopped to see what they had. Last night I found my q's for JJ so I was going to pick up the items at
this new store but they didn't have the little tag up that said you would receive RR on these products. I asked the manager and she didn't know, so she asked the cosmetics clerk and she stated that the RR for JJ were over with - she claims it was last week. I tried to argue but ended up leaving anyway. I am going to try my normal Wags.

Ok I'm a newbie and a newbie to wags as well. I just wanted to make sure that if I do more then one RR deal (meaning 2 seperate things that should produce a RR) that I will get both RR's. I don't need to have them ring up each deal seperately do I. :hectic1:

Thanks,

Jen

correct. Say you bought a chapstick and shave cream in the same transaction, you should get both RR's.

I am new, and I hope I am asking this in the right place. Can a catalina be stacked with a manufactures coupon? Also, if a Catalina prints at Walgreens (for example) can it be used at another store?

if the catalina is a mfg one......nope you can't use it with another mfg.
RR/Catalinas are intended to be used at Walgreens
