My Q's were $.55/1 but totally AWESOME was the bonus disposable razor that was included on the Skintimate cans. My Edge Q's all beeped and had to be manually entered by the clerk - however the Skintimate Q's went through fine.


So did mine. There was no problem with my Skintimate coupons.

First off, thanks for the earlier karma...I returned the favor.

Secondly, could you thank whoever was the author of the quote about the attached disposable razor on the Skintimate cans. I couldn't find the name, but because of them when I went to WAGS I searched way in the back of the display and found the last 2 cans with the razors. ;D

My Skintimate Q did beep; but I was in no hurry, so I waited patiently while the clerk tried over and over, told me I had the wrong can, and finally contacted the manager. I hate training new cashiers and managers. I miss all of my old cashiers.

Was anyone able to get the Folgers $2/1 coupon from a pdf? If so, can you share the link or email it to me. ( couponxchange {at} gmail {dot} com ) I did find $1/1 coupon for the Folgers on coupons.com but would love to have the $2/1 coupon.

I'd like it if anyone has it too. The one I had a link to was a bricks coupon and I couldn't get it to print...AT ALL, then tried thru another link and it told me I'd printed the number allowed So frustrating!

Folgers Coffee Deal: Walgreen's has Folger's Coffee for $2.79. If you use the $2 Folger's Coupon it makes the coffee $0.79!!! This is a great filler.

Same happened to me. I always have trouble with Bricks. Even after I bought a new computer, it didn't make a difference.

Frugalnurse:
At one time, it was possible to log into your CVS extra care card online to see what EB you have and could print out from there. (They are individually coded so can't be reused, so this feature didn't allow people to cheat or anything). Not sure if they still have that, but might be worth a try to try to recover some of the $50 lost...yikes!

Thanks for the tip! It wasn't that much of CVS dollars- I was referring to all my rewards bucks from both RA and CVS. At RA I had the most, and I dont think I can recover those. But I will check at CVS and see if I can do that- Thanks!

If anyone finds the $2 off 1 Folgers coupon others are looking for, I'd love the link as well!

Try signing yourself up at Folgers.com for their waking up club. That's how I got my $2 coupon thru the email they sent me. This isn't a pdf file that I can put it up here. But yes, that was a good deal getting that Folgers 11.3 oz for 79 cts.

I forwarded you the Folgers email...let me know if you were able to print the coupon.

I signed up the other day, but didn't get a coupon. I read online that some people got the coupon and some didn't. I didn't...unless it's "hidden" somewhere. Is it obvious when you open the email if you have a coupon?

Yes, there's a icon in the email that says 'Download Now'. Let's see if LB is able to print hers....then you can PM me your email id and I can forward you the email. But I am off to work and I won't be logging in until late afternoon.

I finally got my SCR from Rite Aid!

Me too! Took forever this month......

[ohmomto2boys]

I've thought about "cashing" out at Rite Aid as well. I haven't done a deal at Wags in such a long time because my stockpile is over flowing. But it has been hard to pass up Rite Aid. However, I'm sure the cycle will change and everyone will be running to CVS again. My CVS is still under construction......I'm not sure when it is going to be done - the roof still isn't on it!

[murphath]

mizbear: You have PM! Thanks for thinking of me--you're such a sweetie!

[The Home 6]

It was a good trip to WAGS today! I spent $7.13 OOP and got $9 in RRs and 2 $3 coupons for Gillette deoderant. WOO-HOO!

[pudgybunny]

Anyone know of any good wags, walmart, or target deals on nicer 2 ply toilet paper?

How often do good soda deals come up at those stores? Just trying to figure out how long I have to go between deals!

pudgybunny: In the last couple of years the best soda deals have been related to the Super Bowl. There will also be good soda deals for Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day. Then you have to wait until the Super Bowl for the next one.

Example: This week CVS has Pepsi 3/$10 and get a $2 EB. Around the time of the Super Bowl it was 6/$20 and get a $10 EB.

Thanks for this, dancinmama! Only wish DH would drink Pepsi, he's a Coke man...grrrr.

CVS had a similar deal on Coke, although I don't think it was quite as good. We are Dr. Pepper drinkers (distributed by Pepsi here) so I didn't pay very close attention to the Coke deal.

Any thoughts on how a "Buy 2, get one free" coupon will work on a "Buy 2, get one free" sale at CVS?? Would you pay for one and get 2 free???
Also was curious if anyone has found/tried to purchase the trial size Neutrogena sunscreen. In the past, the trial size tended to give the $5 EB WYB 2, but they are very hard to find. Just wondering if anyone has found this to be the case...

I forwarded you the Folgers email...let me know if you were able to print the coupon.

but I appreciate you trying!

But did you click on the 'here' button that says 'However, you can continue here if you have not redeemed your coupon. '

I'm not sure about the Neuragen, but I have noticed on other like deals that there has been a "does not include trial size" disclaimer.

And yes, if my brain is functioning correctly (no guarantees ), you should get 2 for free and pay for one.

Questions:

I can't find RA's coupon policy on their website. Maybe I'm looking right at it and still can't see it, but can you use a B1G1 Q on a B1G1 product?

Also, RA "corrects" my coupons so I can't get money back on a product; the best I can do is free. Do they do that everywhere?

I'm not sure where the policy is on their website, but you can print a copy on iheartriteaid.com. Look down the right side of the page til you find it.
Yes, they accept a BOGO on a BOGO, making the item free.
I think their "policy" is not to allow overage, but it's very YMMV. Most in my area do not correct or adjust for overage.

YMMV?

I was at RA yesterday and she wouldn't allow me to use 2 coupons because the item was B1G1 :-(

YMMV = Your Manager May Vary or Your Mileage May Vary - meaning that it depends on the stage the moon is in as to whether or not you will get the deal.

When I have used (2) coupons on a BOGO (and I THINK I've done it at Rite Aid), I ALWAYS give the cents of coupon first and the BOGO coupon afterward. The cents off one will not beep; the BOGO will beep to prompt the cashier to punch in the price of the item.

[ohiositter]

HOUND ALERT.....
Does anybody know of any coupons out there for the BOOST or ENSURE? DH DGM drinks this and now she's to the point where this is about the only thing she can hold down .
I checked HWC but I only found some for ENSURE and she likes the BOOST better tho. TIA
