That's what worries me tho, my Walgreens doesn't have a tag on the shelf.

Don't worry about it. Mine doesn't have one either. RRs are programmed the same in every.single.Wags. so it doesn't matter if the tag is there or not. I did this today with a couple of the $2IPs and it worked just fine and dandy And I hope the BA managed to get herself some because she was loving the RRs

Has this happened to anyone else? ETA: I did use the IPs and got the RRs so it was still a deal but not as much a MM as I expected...

I've read the exact scenario happen to someone in SoCal. Cashier scanned the WAGc after scanning one 1 lubriderm and told customer, 1 store coupon per offer. that is why it took off only $1 WAGc instead of $3 on 3 bottles since the other 2 Lubriderms weren't scanned yet at the time the WAGc was scanned.

It is best not to show the DAYM if one is using it so that it will not be scanned prematurely to give discount only to 1 item instead of all like items in the transaction.

OMG I dealt with a total butthead of a manager today! It wasn't my regular store, and I went in to do the Lubriderm deal. Of course they had none and I asked the manager if he could do a raincheck or special order. He said he won't special order, but he will do a raincheck. He asked me how many, and I said I'd like 6 bottles of lotion (enough to do the deal twice). He starts frowning, telling me that's shelf clearing, being dishonest trying to get the RR twice, etc. If it was such an issue, why not just tell me up front the limit is three instead of saying "how many" and then lecturing me?? So, anyway, he writes the raincheck and tells me that he's writing it for three bottles of the 16 oz. size ($6.99) because he doesn't like customers getting stuff for free. So, this doofus just wasted his time because I'll never use that raincheck at his stupid store on that size.

So sorry to hear your bad luck.. If it makes you feel any better, there are at least 2 people in my area that completely shelf clean EVERYTHING so I have yet to get either the Almay or the Lubriderm (which is what I really want)- AND the managers are complete *sses about rainchecks. I feel your pain- at least you got a raincheck to use somewhere else though!

[petergabrielfan]

Thanks. He refused to write the RC for the mm size so I doubt I'll ever use it. I just didn't like his tone & I don't think 6 lotions is shelf-clearing. Jerk.

[girlsgalore]

That's BS. He could have atleast done a RC for 3 of the 6 oz.

My regular favorite store is now imposing once per day limits on each RR deal, so I'm pretty sure they'd write me a RC for 3 only also. They do also tell me to just come back again the next day if I want to do the deal again.

Yeah I know.. I would be happy just to be able to do it ONCE. The managers I have spoken to ordered it- but nothing came in. Oh well... guess I will just have to wait till everyone else is done being a piggy. How I got my 45+ fusions... Visiting the same stores again.. and again.. and again..

[joshmamabear]

Why is there need for RC? isn't the average shelf price 3.79 (maybe higher or lower depending on region)? UNLESS there are managers who will write $8 RR wyb any 3 of Lubriderm lotions?

I wish there are stores who will deduct RR value from sale price when writing RCs. Wishful thinking

[petergabrielfan]

My shelf price is $3.99 and this store does write the RC for the price less the $8 RR which is the only reason why I asked for one. I mentioned I'd just stop back a different day and the cashier recommended a RC because she said when there are coupons that make the item free or mm, it's nearly impossible to keep the item in stock at their location (it's a busy store). Basically they told me to not count on getting the item in the month of November because of shelf-clearing and order backlogs.
