Sheesh, that seems so unfair to honest cashiers. :sad:

If wags is going to count a large amount of price checks against an employee, they should spring for those price checker thingies like CVS has then!

I'm really not understanding how a lot of price checks would indicate dishonesty or what they're looking for.

So what's the best way to go about this (because I really would like to be able to do more price checks than I do since things aren't always as they're marked, but usually avoid it as much as possible because the cashiers really seem to stress over it)? Would it be easier to take it to the register as if I'm going to buy it and then just void it out once it scans if it's not what I want? I want to be able to shop efficiently, but without raising a lot of suspicion of wrongdoing.

IMO ask for the price check, if the managers don't want alot of price checks in their stores they can........make sure things are tagged correctly, give the cashiers a telxon so they can price check items, or probably even other ideas to get the price check for the customer

I saw the halls on sale for .65 and had my coupon for .75 off. the store manager refused to lower the coupon amount. the cashier then informed me that the coupon says i get .75 off, it doesnt say free!! she said i can not get an item for free if the coupon doesnt say free!! wow, does she have some learning to do!

so my question is, is this a ymmv thing or is this pretty standard for them to lower the amount to match?

It's YMMV. I'd find another store, with more coupon friendly cashiers/management. Some will just push it through for .75 (if you have other items to absorb the overage. No change will be given) Some will adjust the coupon to .65, or adjust the price of the product to .75. Still others, like the one you visited, will just refuse the coupon.
Hope you have another store in your area.

If this question has already been asked. I apologize.

I made a purchase using an RR now found I don't need :sad: can I return or exchange it for something else?

Thanks

I was not really sure where to ask this question,so I apologize if I asked in the wrong place. I have some of those $4 glade fragrance collection q's and wondered if anyone knows of any deals using these(no CVS near me),only Wags,Target,Wallyworld,and Kmart. Thank you for any help.

I can't think of any deals, but I would ask on the Deal Seeker board if I was you.

You should be able to. The only time I've returned something I used RRs on, I got cash. Some stores might give you a giftcard instead of cash.

I'm not sure if this is the place to post my question... if I'm in the wrong place, I apologize.

I am new to the Walgreens RR and plan on hitting up Wags tomorrow for some deals. I know what I want, but am having a hard time figuring out how to do my transactions in order to get the lowest OOP. I would love any suggestions you may have...

This is what I want and the Q's I have to go with them:
Keebler Pecan Sandies 4/$10--- 3RR wyb 4 $1 Q x 4
Ecotrin $2 ---- multiple Q's for $2 & $2.25 making this free & want as many as I'm allowed
Tresemme Haircare 3/$12--- 5RR wyb 3 $1 Q x 3
Kerasal 1 step--- $7.99 get 5RR $1 Q
Aquafresh $0.99 w/ store Q $1 Man Q (multiple Q's for this as well)

So that is what I would like to get tomorrow. I have 4 different walgreens in the area so if I need to go to more than 1 I can.

How should I arrange transactions to pay lowest OOP. I don't currently have any RR to put toward my 1st transaction.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have!!

This happened to me with something else, I don't remember what, but there was a penny overage for each item (same item, I was buying 3 with 3 qs). Why will this work with 2 and not 3? i.e., 0.99 item, $1/1 q will work if you do it twice but not 3 times, even though it's the same idea. Am I making sense?

This is in reference to the post where someone bought angel soft at 0.47 with a 0.50 q -- it worked for 2 items but not for 3.
