A smart person will also use Wags coupons and MQ to make the monthly amount go further. There are a handful of items, e.g. paper products, that are ineligible for food stamps. Given how food pantries are being hit hard, I hope the stimulus bill before Congress has increase money for this program.

Can I use my the Walgreens giftcard that I got in the mail from doing the December Easy Saver Rebates towards purchasing prescription drugs? I know the one you get for transfering your script excludes prescriptions, but am not sure about the ESR one. Any help is appreciated.

I've looked around and haven't found this question, but then I really wasn't sure how to search effeciently. I hope to not be one of those annoying newbies asking a "tired" question...but...

I went to WG to get a few deals (toothpaste, deoderant and cereal mainly). At the register I did my first transaction with the Colgate toothepaste (4 tubes). On sale for $2.99 w/ $2RR and I had four $1.50 coupons. So, MY math says $2.99 - $2RR = .99 - $1.50 coupon = FREE ($1.49/ea. oop at that time).

But...I only got ONE RR for $2. The manager came and said that only 1 RR would print for a particular item. He told me that if I wanted my RR for each toothpaste I'd have to buy them individually. So I asked him to void the transaction and start over and proceeded to buy each individual toothpaste as 1 transaction. I got all $8 of my RR that way.

Then I wanted do another transaction to use those RR to buy 4 Dove deodoerants (on sale $1.99. I had 4 small Qs, but I can't remember what they were now) and 2 boxes of Kellog's cereal (on sale $1.99. Q = $1.50/2). I had coupons for all of these and my total came to $8 and something. The manager told me I couldn't use my RR on these because RR were manufacturer coupons (it says so at the top of the RR)and I had already applied manufacturer coupons to these purchases by using the deoderant and cereal coupons from my local paper. He told me that I could only use RR with instore coupons NOT stacked with manufacturer Qs. I tried to disagree with him, but I didn't know what I was doing and he wouldn't budge. I ended up taking back all of my deoderant coupons and using my RR to pay for those at the full $1.99 in store sale price and paid for the cereal seperately OOP.

Needless to say, he wasn't happy with me.

If that makes any sense...can you tell me where I went wrong?:shrug7:

I have a quick question can I use the ESQ on an item that is on clearance?

In order to use the RR in your scenario you need to buy a small filler ... the RR is a manufacturer coupon and since you had coupons for all your items it had nothing to attach to... next time just grab something small (there's usually pencils on sale cheap) and it should go right through.. HTH

Oh! That would never have occurred to me. So, since they printed out as 4- $2 RR would I need to buy 4 "pencils" or whatever? I'll try that...if they haven't put my photo up and banned me as a trouble maker at the store! lol

Thank you.

Next time when you are wanting to use RR with Manf and ES coupons, just pick up little cheap fillers for every RR you plan to use. Then you should have no problem using them. For example....you buy 8 items, have 8 manf coupons, 5 RR, you will need 5 fillers.
