UPDATE: THIS IS A BUY 1 GET ONE COUPON...WITH REALLY TERRIBLE WORDING...Still looking for a deal on these....who's got the best deal??



Our local smartsource had a coupon for a FREE bag of Ricola Natural MIxed Berry with Vitamin C. And it says for "any bag of Ricola (19 ct or higher).

So...savvy shoppers...between Target, Walmart, CVS, and Kmart...who has the biggest bag??? There's no price limit on the coupon!!

OMG...you're totally right...thats irritating...I have read this like 4 times... Why don't they just Put Buy 1 Get 1 free. How irritating!

LOL i KNOW!! I was like wth!? They are trying to trick us and have the register beep and get us couponers in trouble!! They should have put it out on april fools! But seriously i wonder if it beeps or if it would go through (I'M NOT SUGGESTING THIS TO ANYONE PLEASE DO NOT THINK THAT) I'm seriously curious to know though.

I used one of those coupons at Walgreens today and the cashier had a little trouble with it because she was new (or so I thought!) . Someone came over and told her how to do it and then it went right through. I will have to go take another look at that coupon!

[DakotaMom]

Sher...yeah...that's exactly what I was thinking...they want us to play by the rules...but they give us a coupon that's hazy as to what its for! That's irritating! I seriously would have taken this to town and used them to buy 1 bag...and I'd have argued with them that it was meant to be used on one bag...then I would have had them take all 10 bags off my order and been crabby at the cashier... Glad I avoided that...that's enough to ruin a couponers day! THANK YOU for pointing that out to me!

shop2much...did you use 1 coupon on 1 bag or 2??

[DakotaMom]

Geez...now I feel like a big dork... I grabbed 50 of the papers that had these in...THANK GOD they're a free paper!!

I bought them today at Walmart and didn't notice the BOGO part, so had her ring it up twice and went back to get the other (almost forgot too). Yes it beeped when I had only one.
They were 1.67 for 19 drops. It doesn't say "cough drops"...just "Mixed Berry with Vitamin C Supplement Drops
HTH!

[shop2much]

I only bought one bag. I had no clue until I opened this thread that it was BOGO. Apparently, the WAGS cashiers didn't either. If I would have known, I would have skipped it all together and got some more $1 Halls with the $1 RR. Lord knows I don't need either of these products.

you arent alone on that - my 12 year old read it and corrected me also- she said" mom you have to buy one to get one free- duhhhhhh." kids.

I did the same thing.

Why don't retailers streamline coupons...put a band on the right side that clearly states BUY 1 GET 1 FREE...or whatever applies to that coupon. Put a box at the top of all coupons that clearly states the expiration date. If there is a size restriction, clearly state it in one predetermined area. And...if your coupon says ANY...don't put any stupid picture on the coupon...it just gives the cashiers something to argue with you about.

Last night I was using the $1 Tide Q to buy some of the one use tide packets...she told me she couldn't use it because the packets weren't pictured (bottle was pictured)...so I asked her if it could be used on a big box of the dry tide. She said, sure, that would work...needless to say, if there would have been no picture on the coupon, I don't think I'd have had a problem.

What store was this at? You should always ask for a manager at that point! Target was doing this for a while to people but it has settled down a bit. You need to explain that it does not have a size restriction. I know what you mean though we shouldn't HAVE to explain! I stand my ground i ask for a manager and if i KNOW that it is right i get it!

I actually called P&G about this Tide coupon yesterday, and she said they adhere to the wording because there is no possible way to picture all the products. So she said if it indicated ANY size and didn't exclude trial/travel, I could do it. So I bought 28 at Target for a .03 MM on each!
