Walgreens: Free purex liquid 2/28-3/6/10 only! YMMV

[cbgo]

Has anyone been able to find Purex for high efficiency washers at WAGS? I've been to two different stores and I can only find regular Purex... I'm thinking they may not carry HE.

I haven't found the HE at Wags in the Purex liquid. The sheets do work for HE, though.

Is this only for the liquid Purex? I bought the 3 in 1 sheets today and they were $4.50 each and then I used the bogo.

Yes, the deal is only for the liquids. :sad:

FINALLY.........found it in the trash on here.........I had posted it back in the walgreens forum on 7-19-08........
It is an old email from 2007 but I don't care, I still carry it in case I have any issues. As far as my understanding.......it should not matter what sale the store has.......the sale should be irregardless of the Manufacturer coupons being used. Coupons are a form of payment.......if I've purchased the requirements for the coupon and they would take cash......then they should take the coupons. HOWEVER.......I think the problem comes in because a LOT (ok almost all) managers / cashiers do not understand coupons..........afterall.....couponing like we do on here.....it does take awhile to understand these things. I remember when I first started couponing.......PHEW.....it was so overwhelming. And if managers don't understand coupons we can't really expect cashiers to understand all the ins and outs of coupons......hence where I think the YMMV comes into play.

Anyways.........here is the post I made 1-19-08
================================================== =

This was posted on HCW quite awhile back.........I have coveted it ever since. I'm not Mrs. Farrell, but I'm very thankful to her for posting this long ago. I have posted this copy from time to time whenever the issues comes up. Maybe the mods would like to put this in FAQ? Not sure........for whatever it is worth here it is:

I was refused a coupon usage on the Loreal Vive shampoo bogo
walgreens deal and using my man coupon for bogo to
get them both free.
So, I e-mailed Corporate and here is their response.

Also as an FYI
My RA tried saying it was fraud to use a BOGO on a BOGO........and I nicely but persistently pursued the issue with the district manager. They had attended a loss prevention thingy on coupons and I think they got scared they were doing something wrong. Once the DM did some calling around, she called me back and said I have great news! It is allowed and there is nothing wrong with it.....WAHOO.

So HTH's

Thanks so much for finding and posting the email.

Glad things worked out for you at RA. Lots of times when they deny me deals on things, I am able to work it out with a conversation with the store manager. Sometimes he has to check with district, but it usually works out in my favor eventually. It never hurts to ask.

Ya, that part of RA---that was when the message was first posted.........and you want to hear something funny.........
I used this letter from walgreens showing it was ok............I actually had the opportunity to hand it right to the DM..........didn't take long at all before I heard back saying it was ok. I'm sure they figured if it was ok for walgreens then it was ok for rite aid.........they didn't want to be left behind.

My store would not allow the coupon neither!!

[cbms]

OK... so I could get two of the liquids, and get the two of the 4.50 each 3-in-1's for free with the Q's and get 1.00 back after paying 5.99 for all four items, right?

No, you will only get two liquids free with the BOGO Q. They are on MegaSaver. The 3 in 1 sheets are not BOGO ($5.99/2). They are on sale 2/9, and you get $1 RR wyb 2. So with the BOGO Q, you would pay $4.50/2 pkgs of 3 in 1 sheets and get a $1 RR.

never mind. Delete.

So the coupon is only for the 3 in 1's? Not either? I thought I could "buy" the detergents and get the 3 in 1's free.

Like this:

1 detergent-5.99, use Q to get the 3 in 1 free instead of 4.50.
1 detergent-0.00, use the Q to get the 3 in 1 free instead of 4.50.

total: 5.99, get back the 1.00 RR for the 3 in 1's. This is flawed? I guess I don't get it. :shrug7:

I think what is confusing you is the coupon...it is good on either product.
But the sales are different at Walgreens.

The purex liquid is BOGO 2/5.99
The Purex 3-1 are 2/9.00

But I do not think you can mix and match them the way you want to get the 3-1 for free.

You could do

1 liquid 5.99..... use Q get 1 liquid free
3-1 4.50......use Q get 3-1 Free ( 1.00 RR)
