Thank you so much!

If there is a BOGO sale...are both items in your bottom line total or is only 1 going to be in the bottom line? Just trying to figure out a deal for the spend 25.00 get 5.00 RR - {not sure if it is going to be the same as a 5 off 25 coupon - having to be 25.00 after coupons & such or not}

TIA
Michelle

It depends on how the items ring up. If they ring up $x.xx and 0, then only the $x.xx will count in your bottom line. If they ring up $x.xx and $x.xx, then one is taken off at the bottom, then, most likely they will both "count." I'm thinking also of the Holiday Cash RRs in December of last year. We were buying laundry detergent that was normally $6.99, but on sale for $1.99 and it was counting as $6.99 toward the $25. I guess I've confused you even more. Sorry. But, without knowing how the items ring up, it's hard to give a clear answer. HTH.

We don't have to surrender our IVC coupon to the cashier every time we use the IVC coupon, right?????

I wanna be able to use the IVC coupon over and over.

The booklet of coupons that came out this Sunday. They don't look like manufacture coupons...but on the back walgreens says they are in there fine print...

can you combine those sunday booklet coupons with reg manufacture coupons.

WAG is not required to send in the IVCs, so you can *usually* keep them. However, last time they had an activity book with coupons, they weren't programmed correctly and had to be entered manually. The cashiers sometimes insisted on keeping them so that their $$ came out right at the end of the shift. It's a possibility that they will want to keep the new ones, depending upon whether or not they're programmed correctly.

As for the current $50 BTS booklet, so far, so good. Although some members have posted that their store won't allow them to be combined with MQs. They haven't been keeping them (at least here). I haven't tried the new activity book Qs yet, but from what I've read, they are now programmed correctly. So, YMMV on keeping them.

If you mean the $50 Q booklets, then yes, you can combine. I've done so with the Huggies wipes. Someone left a couple of .75/1 Huggies qs in the diaper aisle at Kroger and I happily took them down the street to use them at WAG, along with the IVC.

I think it all depends on the cashier. My favorite manager at Wag's told me that unless it is a MQ they don't need them, it's just more paper work for him if they do keep them.

Thanks. Your info is very helpful!
