Thanks for the tip! I usually just toss things in my stockpile without opening them, and sometimes find good coups in them months or years later! I'll have to remember to check items right when I bring them home.

The coupon is only good on 60ct or larger.

I don't know if I'll EVER shop at WAGS again...sheesh. The deals have sure gone kaput. And then had a nasty cashier on the day my RR's expired last week. Sure wish there was a CVS around here!

May I make one suggestion that might not sit well with some of you: Please don't hoard the meters...there are an awful lot of seniors who shop WAGS with their prescriptions and such. A lot of these people don't qualify for any free items that we donate to different charitable institutions. It would be nice if the people who actually NEED these meters could take advantage of this item for free this week, instead of those who won't use it just making money. (but believe me, I do love MM's!) I just feel this might be one that us couponers should go easy on. (in general, shelf clearing irritates me anyway)

I agree, but my store has had them in stock all month- and I special-ordered them for the week I wanted to buy. ;) If I ended up with all of them, I'd leave some (in fact, I even did when I ordered them, I ordered 15, but the store didn't have any, so I only bought 10 and left 5 for them)

I am still thinking about buying a meter or two that week since they are only $10 and then the MIR...hmmm....too bad I used all my coupons like the first day of the last sale and on Ebay they are going for an insane amount of money!!!

I agree with the PP. Why hoard something that you will never use, that someone may need just to earn a few bucks? It is nice that some people donate them, but the test strips for the meters are about $1 each, so a meter really doesn't do anyone any good without the strips. If you can't afford a meter you certainly cannot afford the strips. If you feel that you need to get this deal use your overage to buy the strips to go with the meter and really make a difference to someone.

Every time a MM deal comes up on a meter this topic of what's morally right is brought up. Let people make up their own minds and live accordingly to what their own conscious tells them is OK to do!

I had gotten meters one time and donated them to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief fund. They were very appreciative to get them. Yes, I "bought" them for the overage they produced to help me afford things our family needed. Horrible, I know. But tell disaster victims it wasn't fair that they got a free meter that some one some where donated and see if they don't disagree with you. I doubt they would care that the person who donated the meter made a few bucks to take home a jug of milk to their family. - Or...whatever. If they do have a problem with it they don't have to take the meter.

Another time there was a lady behind me in line that noticed I got two meters for free. She said she wished she had a couple of those coupons because she and her mom both needed a new meter. I told her I didn't need the meters that bad and handed her the bag. She thanked me profusely, hugged me, and almost cried. I feel NO guilt in that whatsoever!

And, I will be getting a couple of these again this time... hopefully. I do not have diabetes but my brother and sister do. I'll get the extra $ for "buying" them. Bro and sis get the meters to use. I use the free $ to buy laundry detergent for my 75 yo. mom that is a widow on a fixed income. Win/win/win.
I'm sure some will find fault with me getting them to do this plan as well. That's just too bad.

It's possible that some will get these meters only for the cash and toss the meters in the trash. While I personally don't like to think anyone would do this, I also don't thinks it's my business to pass judgment. You just never know what others situations are.

Getting off my soap box now.
