Tara, please pass along any helpful hints that you get -- I have asked at several local Walgreens and they have all told me that they cannot adjust coupon amounts ( the "friendly" cashiers are saying the same thing!) When purchasing the Ecotrin today I was not able to use the $2.25 printable, but it printed out a $2 off 125 ct. Ecotrin coupon in addition to the $2 RR. The cashier was trying to help me out and applied the $2 coupon to my second transaction - I was afraid that it wouldn't print out the RR, but it did print out the RR and another $2 coupon. And the coupon did come off even though I only purchased the 45 ct. Ecotrin!!! Also, look for coupons on the Bayer display ; the Bayer is free after RR but the $1 coupons will make it a moneymaker. I did this at CVS last week and was happy to find that Walgreens has the same coupons! I'm glad I'm not the only one having problems with coupons that exceed the price of products.

I was AMAZED!!! When I went back to do it again, another cashier was at the register (sigh). He understood what I meant but wanted to run it by the manager. The manager delayed coming to the register, the previous cashier stopped by and encouraged cashier #2 to just adjust the price up...he did so, and I got the deal to work TWICE today for a profit of $4!!! Thanks for all your help with this. For those reading this, I would definitely say that you may not get as much help at other stores...it really depends on the cashiers/managers. Hope you have as good an experience as I did. Ok, I went to my WAGs today to try the Ecotrin (along with other deals), and the cashier priced the Ecotrin up to $2.25. I was AMAZED!!!

You buy an item for $2. Your coupon is for $2.25. Most stores will overwrite the face value of the coupon and give you ONLY $2 credit because your item cost only $2. The stores are supposed to submit the revised face value to the redemption center for the revised amount, but I'm currently having an ongoing discussion with Target corporate about this. Seems they require adjustment of the coupon for ME but then turn around and submit the coupon for full face value credit. When I asked about this, they tell me that that's "proprietary information." To keep everybody honest, if they overwrite your coupon, you might ask them to actually write the "revised" value on your coupon before stashing it.

The tab at the top says coupons printing but the screen is showing the installation on the printer. This is so frustrating b/c these coupons are so good! I was talking to firefox support earlier today and they said their add on for the coupon printer might have a bug or it might not be compatible with my printer?

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 20:21:08 +0000 http://www.dealseekingmom.com/?p=8196#comment-40303 Alicia...that's one I can answer (if I may). The fine print of the Register Reward says that the RR acts as a manufacturer's coupon and the amount of manufacturer's coupons plus the amount of RR you use cannot exceed the total number of items in your purchase. Soooo...if you are using newspaper or printable coupons for ALL of your items, you can't use your RRs to cover the rest of the total. This is a MAJOR difference between Walgreen's RRs and CVS ECBs, because you can use as many ECBs as you want up to the subtotal...but at WAGs, the amount of coupons/RRs cannot exceed the total number of items. I usually buy a small "filler" if I want to use a RR but have manufacturer's coupons for all my other items. Alicia...that's one I can answer (if I may).

I still don't understand why either. I give them coupons and I still have a balance left so I start giving them rr's. Usually it just starts beeping and they tell me I can't use them.
