Tips: Have a Walgreens RR/Catalina Coupon Question? Ask it Here

[jrashley]

So basically they use a coupon to get it free instead of the rebate in the box?? Thereby getting it free on the spot and getting the RR as well! Awesome! I wish I had some of those coupons now. Maybe I can catch 'em next time around!

Yes, that's it exactly! You pay only tax (well, some people don't even have tax since it's a medical item!) and then get a $10rr back!

When the coupons came out this last time I bought 40 papers b/c these are always a moneymaker at some point. Definnitely worth stocking up when they're out. Before I started couponing I always threw these coupons out thinking I would never use them. Man, how much money I tossed!

Last week I tried to use a MQ to purchase an item which produced a RR & was told if you use a MQ a RR will not print. Is this a new policy at Wags?

It's definitely not a WAG policy. If that were true, RRs would be such a hot topic on the Coupon sites. MQ use will not affect whether or not a RR prints in 99.9% of situations. I've seen only one time when the MQ and the RR had the same UPC and cancelled the RR printing because it seemed to the computer/register/catalina machine that we were using a RR from the same promo.
Welcome to HCW, by the way, and to the WAG forum!

Does anyone know if you are able to use RR for purchasing ice cream? The coupons say they exclude dairy but it was my understanding this only meant milk and eggs. I have used them for ice cream in the past but the most recent time I went they would not let me. Seem to always have trouble with inconsistencies there.

It depends on the laws in your state, as to whether dairy is excluded from coupon/RR use. Dairy isn't excluded where I live, but ice cream is considered dairy.

Not sure if this has been asked...so I apologize if it has...This morning I got 2 $4RR...one from the $4 Dove hair care and the other from the 2/$12 Dove body washes etc. Can I use a MQ with a RR on my next purchase as long as the overage of another item is enough to cover the MQ?

For example:
$4 Dove hair care -1.50 MQ= 2.50- $4RR= $-1.50

So if I put a filler for around $1.50 I should be able to use the MQ? Please correct me if I am wrong! Thanks so much!:shrug7:

Yes, that will work. You will have to purchase a filler anyway, since you're using 2 coupons for one item. Just grab something that is not attached to a MQ (you can use something that requires an in-ad coupon though). I've been using the Dentek floss as my filler with no Q, paying .50 and getting a $2 RR for the floss + $4 RR for Dove hair care.

I have another question that is more to clarify than anything else...I can use as many RR as I want per transactions, as long as I have that many items correct?
For example:
Neutrogena Sunscreen B1G1 50%

Two Neutrogena Sunscreens approx $16 total
plus cheap filler $1
Total: $17-3($4RR)= $5 plus tax

But because I have three items, I can use all of the RR?

Thanks!

As long as those 3 $4RR are not from the same promotion you can do this. For instance, if they are all from the Dove shampoo/copnditioner RR you will only be able to use one of them. If they are from 3 different product promotions, you will be fine.
