Walgreens Robitussin DM 4oz liquid ended up being FARR

[tinahall99]

Tell me if this has already been mentioned. I went to a store that was out of the Robitussin To Go 2-pks, they had a note saying manufacturing delays were causing problems, I didn't read any further. I wanted to get the 4oz liquid anyway, it is on sale for $4.99 this week, I had a $1 Q, we just really need it. After I checked out, I realized the $2.50 RR printed after buying the DM liquid! Then I looked at the receipt and the price was correct, $4.99, followed by a WAGC of $2.50 (the register automatically took it off, she didn't scan anything), so the price was $2.49 and the $2.50 RR printed. I'm wondering if they made the liquid FARR because people are complaining about so many stores not having the To Go 2pks? Can anyone else verify this at other stores? I can't get to another store until tomorrow. I'd rather have a full bottle free, plus be able to get the overage if you have the $1 Q from the paper, than the 2 doses in the To Go pack. I'm wondering if this is a nationwide thing, or just at stores that don't have the To Go 2pk, or just at this one store.

From what I read elsewhere, It is just supposed to be stores that are out of the to Go and you are supposed to have a coupon scanned in order to get the RR. I don't know from personal experience since my WAGS still has to the To Go.

the manufacturer isn't/wasn't able to supply the product so they are subbing the 4oz robitussin dm for the RR item

Thanks! I will have to keep my eyes open and ask around here if they have heard that information. These have been out of stock for a few weeks now at every store I've been to.

Same here, along with every other FARR item that was this month after day 1. They have been out and not ordered more. And I drove past wags 3x today. Had I seen this earlier I would have totally stopped, darn it. But I didn't because none of the weekly FARR items are needed around here or with anyone I know, and likely they were gone by the time I drove past the first time and I Have no coupons for the dove deal or anything either. Totally spaced this weeks coupon ordering.

What coupon? None of my stores have had this since day one - they don't even have a space on the shelf for it.

None of my stores have room for it on the shelves. The ones that I found were all in a special display. I think that this may be just an introductory size that Wags will not be carrying on a regular basis.

The OP says that the register automatically took it off without a coupon being scanned, so I gonna give it a shot today.

stores got this information in an email and have an ad apology to be hung along with the coupon to be at the registers to be used to make it a RR item

Thanks!

Thanks for the help IrishLass, the cashier must have scanned the coupon without me noticing. I'd like to give kuddos to the folks at Walgreens for having a great idea to help make up for the shortage. I'm sure Robitussin just had no idea how many people were going to want to try their product free, so I'm sure it isn't WAGS' fault, but it's awesome they are stepping up to try to satisfy the customers looking for this product.
