walgreens- Lubriderm Money Maker

[Laureen13]

I totally understand and will abide by whatever rules they set, I was just shocked when they said they would take the 2nd RR and throw it away. Like I mentioned earlier, just tell me one transaction. Not let me do the 2nd transaction and then throw it away. When I mentioned they were basically stealing my 'money' she said "No, we rip it up and throw it away." I didn't even pay for my transaction with RR's either. I know the store and have noticed this same cashier reading the coupons and double checking the ads. I had also bought some Almay and she was reading the ad to make sure there wasn't going to be a RR to steal and throw away. The only reason I go to that store on Saturdays is because it's near where my DD babysits so it's an easy stop but not worth it anymore. :shrug7:

A store can limit transactions, but they LET you do that transaction so that RR is yours. I would definitely put in a phone call. That is not ok.

I was told by one of the BA's last week that a guy came in and bought 80 bottles of Dawn that was on sale! She said he pulled out a wad of RR's that was 3 inches thick, wrapped with a heavy duty rubber band, to pay for his stuff. He also bought 30 of something else, but I can't remember what she said it was. I asked why they would let him buy so many and she said her manager doesn't care because he wants to sell as much as possible. I went to another Wags 30 miles from the first one and was telling the BA there about it and she said the same guy (by a very telling description) was asked to leave by her manager because of the same shelf clearing. He comes back when he knows the manager that was on duty isn't working. She is wondering if he is printing the RR's himself. She said they are always printed uneven. I know there is red writing on the back, so I doubt that could be the case, but, who knows.

there is a possibility he can be buying the RRs on ebay.

There were small value RRs sold on ebay recently so the possibility of people buying them on ebay is not remote. There are lots now who post in coupon boards they get hundreds of RRs worth per week with the SMs blessings and cooperation via pre-orders.

I think the control has to really come from stores. as long as the SM allow one person to wipe out the shelf first hour, first day of sale, majority of customers can just complain to no avail. Either take up the issue with DM or just beat the shelf wipers at their own game

Good point. I never shop ebay, so I didn't know RR's were sold there! :shrug7:

Is the $2 IP not working for anyone else? Says the campaign is over...Just an FYI

[mommamoody]

The whole RR system was down today, so he had to force my Bayer RR.
However, I couldn't prove that the Lubriderm was supposed to generate a RR (no shelf tags).

BTW: I found the Pork cover diabetes book and the wag Q was tripled (not sure if he did it or it was done automatically)

Can anyone tell me where the proof is, so I can go back this week and get my RR?

He said he would reprint it for me..

Thanks!

PS Got some diapers for 2 bucks using my RR. Woo hoo.

Okay, I figured out why I did not receive my precious $8.00 RR ...

The day that I purchased these items, the 3" x 5" RR shelf signs were not yet put up.

If they were, I would have read that this Lubriderm deal is part of a larger RR deal that includes items like:

• Ben Gay
• Tylenol
• Motrin
• Tena Serenity
• J&J First Aid
• Neospoirin

(This is a Johnson & Johnson sponsored RR promotion)

+

In the same order, I purchased the three of the Lubriderm 6 ouncers and three of the Ben Gal 4 ouncers.

Well, each RR offer is one per transaction.

I got one $8.00 RR and not two $8.00 RRs

+

I always keep my receipts so I plan on going back, asking to speak to the store manager and point out that the red 3" x 5" RR shelf signs were not yet displayed.

They should scan the items, generate the $8.00 RR and then void that transaction.

As simple as 'nailing jelly to a tree!'

Three minutes of my time and I got my precious $8.00 RR!

I brought the:

• three Ben Gays
• three Lubridems
• store receipt
• store flyer

Stated that I mistakenly purchased both sets of items on the same transaction.

Manager scanned the Ben Gay product three times, hit a couple of keys and voilà, the $8.00 RR printed out.

Manager then proceeded to void that transaction and to hand me the $8.00 RR.

Just a FYI: The Lubriderm Intense Skin Repair ointment is not included in the $8 RR promo. At my store there were signs in front of it but after I paid and got no RR I noticed that the signs were for the wrong lotion (signs were for sensitive Lubriderm). However, it did print a $2 RR from J&J. The only other thing I bought was some clearance Halloween candy, 2 6 oz. Lubriderm lotions and Hallmark tissue paper, so I know that it had to be the Lubriderm Ointment that triggered it. With my coupons and the $2 RR it ended up being only $2 for 3 lotions so I just kept it.

Is anyone having any luck finding the 6 oz. bottles? All my stores are totally out and she said that they've been told the warehouse is having a hard time getting it. Plus, I overheard one of my cashiers talking to another one and they were saying that the manager has told them when they get it in to only put one or two of the 6 oz. bottles out at a time so that customers can't use three small ones to get the RR. Shady!!

oh that's just not right! I haven't looked since last week (been sooooo sick!) but I am hoping to get them to order some for me.
