It is not the green book it is another book.

Ugh, that is so frustrating! Well, my plan was to check this scenario today but unfortunately the Welchs’ coupons hit a print limit. I am hoping they will reset this week. I agree, it would be nice if Walgreens had one consistent coupon policy across the board!

Hope it works for you! Wouldn’t work at my Wags, I know from experience. I have found that not all the computers/registers are programmed to be the same, nationwide. What will work at a Wags a couple towns from me will not work at my local one. Would love it if it did.

Hi Rebecca!
Thanks for your question, I am sure many others are wondering about transaction number 2. Actually, Walgreens does not count the in-ad coupons for that rule, only manufacturer. So 3 items, 3 manufacturer coupons (including the RR). The register should not beep with this scenario. I am going to double check it myself today to make sure it does work, but I am 99.9% sure that it will.

Thanks for clearing that up, Jennifer! And yes, you can get just 1 pencil with the in-ad coupon.

I don’t see how transaction #2 is going to work….you’re buying 3 items and using 5 coupons. You have to have the same amount of items as coupons that you use. The in-ad Qs count as 1 coupon each, the RR counts as a coupon too, unlike ECBs that count as money. You will have to have 5 items to use 5 Qs.

Mellisa…Look at your coupon again…Mine says 19 – 50 ct….And I don’t think the flavor matters. Check it again.Hope that helps!

I’ve never thought of this, but sometimes I get a pencil as a filler item at .25…Can you still use the 8/$1 and get 1 pencil with that coupon for .13?

So, the 50 cents off coupon I see in the Healthy Savings booklet is for the 50 count Ricola, not the 19-count mixed berry one… Am I missing something?
Thanks!
