When do the new Ads start at the 24 hour stores?
Does it automatically start @ 12:00 a.m. on Sundays?

As for using RRs, the subtotal has to be at least the value of the RR. In your example, you would need a filler of at least .03 to be able to use the $3 RR.

Yes, there was a steady, green light... at least while we were doing the void - I wasn't able to really see the machine while we were doing the transaction because it was facing the cashier so I had to lean over the counter to see it. I guess the machine was updating - I will try not to go at that time anymore (20 mins before they close). Thanks so much for your help and repped!

Hi, I am new to Walgreens, normally just shop at CVS...

I was doing the Prilosec deal this week...bought my Prilosec, had a MQ for $1.00 off and a RR for $2.00 off.

The register would not let both go through...the cashier and the manager said it was because I could not use 2 Qs on one item....Is this right? Technically I wasn't using to Qs but only 1 MQ + their RR.

What am I missing?

The ad prices start around that time. However, the RRs do not necessarily start at that time. It all depends upon when your store updates their register system for the new ad week and the Catalinas usually start printing (in my experience) around 7 a.m. local time. That's YMMV, as some stores will update their systems at midnight. I know that's not much help, but....... you'll need to ask your particular store manager when the ads change and when the Catalina machine system is activated for a new sale week.

WAG RRs are manufacturer's coupons, not store coupons like at CVS. At WAG, you can only use one MQ and one WAG Q per item. So, if you want to use a MQ and a RR, you'd need a cheap filler item.

Oh, well that makes sense! Thanks for clearing that up, I had no idea!

I have a silly question. Can I write on the RR what item gave that one to me? I have a habit of forgetting to read who its from, and when I get flustered I hand over the first one I grab to get it over with, sometimes causing myself to lose the next one. Happened once with a True North, and once with a Carefree this week. I didn't know if writing on the RR would void it or something silly, but it would help me if I could just have "CAREFREE" written in sharpie on it, not over words or anything. TIA

we gals at my store write on ours. We write the name of the product (small print) along the edge of the RR

Hi....what I do in order to avoid confusion at the c/o is I go through and pull out my coupons and RR's I am going to use when in the aisles not at the checkout. Plus, I count the manuQ's and the RR's I plan to use and the items I have to be sure I can use them all for the lowest oop.

Also, always check the ad for in ad coupons that has to be put in by the cashier and the IVC Q's from the different sources available at wags before you get to the c/o. (i.e. the activity book w/ the IVC's, the healthy savings booklet $30 in savings booklet, and another one that's usually up by the c/o w/ $60 in IVC Q's) or somewhere around that....sorry it's in my binder in the van right now!?!?

Anyway....HTH!! ;)

Also, you can write on the back if you don't want to write on the front.
I always keep a list of RRs (w/ expiration dates, products, etc) in my BlackBerry. It's really easy to just mark off what I've used or c/p new ones to keep the list current. Before the BlackBerry, I always kept a little memo book in my purse- the ones we all like to use for cheap fillers at WAG.
