Happy! I am going to print this response from Corporate and carry it with me to Walgreens in the future. I hope it helps other people out too!

Dear Mrs. ,

Thank you for taking your time to contact our Corporate Offices. We appreciate hearing from our customers and value all comments received.

You may use 1 BOGO coupon on a BOGO sale. You may not use 2 BOGO coupons on a BOGO sale or 2 BOGO's together at any time. As many items are actually being purchased can have coupons. In this case 1 item is being purchased so one coupon can be redeemed.

Again, thank you for contacting our corporate office. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your comments.



Sincerely,


April S.
Consumer Response Representative

Wow,thanks.I wish that I had this when I was told that I was breaking the law!iI have a good mind to print it off and show them anyway.

[minimunklemama]

P.S can this be made into a sticky so when we need it in the future,we don't have to hunt through all of the posts?

[stampinonthefarm]

That's a good idea. I was so excited to read it this morning! I am going to Walgreens tomorrow. I was afraid to go back to the same one as last week, now I can, with my head held high!!!!!!!!!!!

[twinners]

What BOGO item were you trying to buy?

You go girl!!!

[doubledee4]

Good for you, They don't know and now you have clarification!

[stampinonthefarm]

twinners I was trying to do the Vive BOGO.

[twinners]

That's what I wondered. I bought some at 3 different stores with no problems. Then last night I went to another store and they wouldn't allow it.

[stampinonthefarm]

twinners - make sure you print this out and carry it too, then next time you won't have a problem either!

[applerama]

oh gosh, now i might have to go buy some more shampoo tomorrow

[Guppiesgirl]

Wow, I could have used this last week! I have already saved it for the next BOGO sale. Can't wait to take it in there & show it to them after them making me feel stupid about it.

[stampinonthefarm]

Good for you guppiesgirl! I know I felt like that too, but patience won out.

[mavgal]

This is confusing to me, wonder if the cashiers will understand it. Is it saying that when Wags has a BOGO sale, you can use a mfg BOGO coupon. In other words, you are buying 2 items and both are free?

[Guppiesgirl]

Yes. Last week when the Vive was on sale BOGO, I took in the BOGO Q to get 2 free (they would be reimbursed for the amount they write on the Q plus 8c handling fee, so they wouldn't be out any money.) But they told me they couldn't do it because I was already getting one free. There were people in line behind me looking at me like I was cheating. I just told them to remove the Vive from my order. I've been to the same cashier a couple of times since then and she hasn't said anything about any of my other deals, but I will be showing her this letter next time there is a BOGO sale! It doesn't make sense to me why they have a problem with it...like I said they'll get their money back when they turn in the Q.

[Momtoabunch]

Excellent information. Perhaps now I will try it? My conscience is clear.

[LittleLori95]

I haven't tried buying anything on a BOGO sale w/a BOGO man coupon yet. When I do, do I get 3 items for the price of one? Is that how it works? Thanks for your help.

[Guppiesgirl]

Actually, you get 2 items free for every Q you have. One is free from the in store sale, one is free from the Q. At least that's how a lot of people here have gotten it to work. And that letter backs it up! So, if you have 2 Qs, you should get 4 items free...8 Qs, 16 items free. Does that make more sense?

[stampinonthefarm]

Thanks guppiesgirl. Exactly how I saw it. And, yes I understand it the same way and now we have an answer from higher up. I have already printed off the letter and put it in my purse!

[mavgal]

Okay, it's making more sense now. Gonna try it next time I get a chance. Thanks!

Vive is still on sale BoGo at WAGS here -- sign said till the 27th.

[kutch07]

Wohoo!! thanks so much!!

[stampinonthefarm]

I didn't know it was on sale until the 27th. I need to read ads as close as I read the fine print! Thank you! I'll be putting that coupon back in my stack for Walgreens today!

[jlguerino]

Thanks! Now I can tell the manager that I AM NOT SHADY!

[brownyz3]
