Sorry, I posted this on the wrong week!

Question about a transaction my mom did the other day. She bought 2 of the Kashi cereals, along with a lot of other things and had the $3 vocalpoint coupons but the cashier said she couldn't take them (register beeped) because it was more than the cereal. Is this right?? I thought for sure she should've been able to accept them. I have my $3 q's still and want to go get the cereal tomorrow for free but now I'm not sure.

Some stores will adjust the coupon down to the cost of the product. Walgreens is not one of them. You must buy enough of the product to cover the value of the coupon. HTH

Some very rare Walgreens will adjust the price of the product up to the value of the coupon, but not many.

Add The Rubitussem 2 ct to go at $2.49 and a christmas pencil at $0.39 for filler you end up with the two meters, 3 lotion, 1 Robtussen and a pencil for $0.35 and go home with a $8 and a $2.50 rr, Thats a deal thats hard to beat anywhere.

Just wanting to make sure there is no conflict with rolling the Bayer into J&J RRs since both owned by Johnson & Johnson? (At least I am pretty sure that J&J owns Bayer). Does anyone know if there has ever been a problem with something like this- where although the RRs print out with different company names- is there ever a conflict when trying to roll one company (Bayer) into another company owned by the other (J&J)? Wow I am dizzy now

Just wondering - can you purchase the Breeze or Contour meter if you aren't a diabetic? I've never done it before but I want to give it to a family member who has diabetes - any one know the rule on that? Thanks!!!

I have never had a problem with this. I mean I am sure people buy them for their chldren or grandparnets all of the time. I have gotten many in the past and given them to a few older friends that I have who are on limited income.

My experience is that this is true for typical manu coupons (inserts, IPs, etc). But not for Register Rewards....they will not reduce the value of a register reward to match your purchase(s). There is a reason the RR is always rounded up by a penny to the full dollar....since most products are x.99 and most RRs are x.00, it makes you buy more stuff.

Most of the Walgreens in my area won't adjust the price of the item up to the price of the coupon! The managers all insist that they aren't allowed to do this. And one store employee practically accused me of fraud when I asked if he could do this. (This same employee has fits when I use IVC's and they come off on multiple items. He can't figure how to make them only come off one item.)

no script needed for the glucose meter...its on the shelf just like toothpaste and tylenol. not sure how they could ask about your medical history before selling it to ya :)
