Boy am I frustrated. Out of all the coupon sites, every single one is using i heart wags as the preview and I get an error message from her site. Sorry for the rant but I am beyond frustrated. I didn't have time to search through posts but will now have to and be late. Why are all sites using the same preview? Surely more than one person in the world can get the preview.

Please explain how you can get all those papers, and make so much money???

So I am basically turning $100 into $250 this way(tax free here).

Do any of your stores have the double paper edition? They are the early Sunday and regular Sunday papers together, with both sets of coupons and circulars. They are bundled together and are cheaper than buying them separately. We just recently found these at 2 of our grocery stores. I always had my newspapers delivered.

I feel your pain! I'm having the same problem.

I am deleting my post so that the intent for this thread can be recovered, ie, sharing Walgreens bargain info that everyone can use. Thanks so much for those who gave me "thanks" in my reps. Very nice of you!

OK, I know I was chatty and maybe took things a bit far here, but best wishes everyone and hope you all do a bit of braggin' this week as you CONFISCATE some useful bargains!!

I saw the fusion 4 pack at my store for 13.49 a couple weeks ago.

So I have a whole page of items to stock up on for a move to the middle of nowhere, and plenty to roll, but I'm having issues figuring up scenarios that work around the $5/25 Q! Unfortunately, I'm not buying most of what is in the "How I'm Rolling" thread. I have ten bottles of TheraFlu already and that's way more than we'll ever need. I'll probably give most of it away. We really don't use medicine at all, as I make my own herbal tinctures- I just couldn't pass by the MM!
Anyway, I'll try to work some scenarios with the $5/25 using the baking deals and household staples tomorrow when my brain is working...

I agree. I personally have been thinking of doing a yard sale with stockpile. Only because many of the elderly live here and we are 45 minutes out from the large town. They dont go out side of our area. I feel if I can sell it at a cost where I at least cover my gas- it helps many out here. Especially since our walmart doesnt take internet coupons. Needless to say- I shop in the large town not here.

i could never devote that much time and energy away from the important things in my life running around buying 100 glucose meters. but that's just me.

I laughed when I read this because while I am not "buying 100 glucose meters", I "run around WITH the important things in my life" every day so it would be quite easy for ME to do. My kids (and granddaughter) have practice, meetings, etc. and I'm the taxi mom/nana. We spend our days running back and forth to activities and quite honestly usually stopping at the store for a drink, snack, etc. I could as easily stop at Wags as I could at CVS, Krogers or somewhere else. (My 10 year old has 5 day a week basketball practice and her siblings have similar schedules). If I chose to do this deal to that extent I could quite easily do it and NOT take time and energy away from anything that's important in my life.

I'm saddened by all the criticism on this thread just because people make different choices. It's gotten very judgmental IMHO (not this post in particular but a lot of them on this thread. Who are we to judge why people do things? Maybe they need the RR's for Xmas for their kids. Maybe they need the money (from yard selling) because they have lost a job? Maybe they're donating it all. Honestly, should we care? It's sad that people feel like they have to judge like this.....again my own opinion.

(Incidently, my 10 year old IS a diabetic and it doesn't bother me in the least if someone gets 10, 20 or yes even 100 of these).

I was at 2 stores today and they had monitors. I have not read anywhere that they are out. I plan to get one on Friday(so the RR will be good on Black Friday).

[puddlescyn]

Has anyone had issues with the 3.3 oz chocolate covered cherries and the RR printing? I did tonight. Luckily I had a very nice kind of clueless manager fix it for me using the larger size. They didn't have any tags up so I got very lucky.

So are they good 2 weeks to the day? I would love to have them for black friday items...

I have been out of the RR game for a bit (too hard to get in and out of the store with 3 babies!!)

I do have 4 meter coupons I want to use though!!

[healthysaver]

I went to 5 stores since Tuesday and all stores didn't have any meters. I'm surprised that in the early week, it is already gone. I only have 4 coupons to use.

[jgcobb]

I checked with my stores this last weekend to find out when they get their trucks. It saves me a lot of time checking to see if they've gotten more stock in. Now I know they get 2 trucks each week -- 1 for bulky/boxed goods and one of those red crates that carry everything else. If your stores are out of the meters, check to see if their trucks are in yet since maybe the truck the meters come in on hasn't yet arrived. *crossing my fingers for you*

That's amazing. I live in a small town and we're always out of anything that's a good buy but we only have 1 store. I can't imagine 5 stores being out. You think they'd look at the sales and order accordingly. If they did you must have a lot of couponers in your area!

[LadyRaine]

I was so fortunate to get meters for all 8 coupons I had, plus any rolling in the meantime with the Almay deal (I'll be giving away makeup for a while! ), and cashing in on the baking goods sales. WOW! This was a really great week!
I even splurged a bit and bought 6 pair of toe socks at 3/$10 for DD and I!

My time with Wags is quickly coming to a close, so I'm appreciating it while I still can!

UPDATE: It is now working on the Diapers, but not the Pull-ups. I have to go back tomorrow for a refund on the $2 it missed.

All week I paid with my RRs until today. I couldn't remember what I had previously purchased and didn't want to risk accidentally trying or roll the wrong ones. I still did pretty good with my overall cost per item and the amount of RR I got back made one trip free

Tonight, I headed back out because I had a meter Q burning a hole in my pocket and I also had good Qs for stuff we needed. Got to the store and had my purchases planned. Up to the register and I was short a few dollars to use the $5/25 Q and neither of us could figure out how much I needed to do a filler on. So, I bought more clearasil and still didn't come close! Then more Almay, and then more clearasil. I had $2 Qs I was using with them and they were on sale BOG1/2off..anyway, eventually I got enough to use the 5/25 Q. I almost decided to use my RR, but I was totally confused and my kids were dancing and singing loudly (they were SO tired). Left with all my RRs which I am shocked how much I accrued this week (even after using a lot of them on other trips there). Then I looked at my receipt and figured out why I had to keep running back for more. The clearasil was ringing up BOGO and my coupons made them others free (or almost) too!! I am beginning to love all of this Wags/RR even if I can't figure it out very well. Just wanted to share my experience and say THANKS for the tips and motivation to keep up with all the deals!

I'm sure it's on another thread, but what are others doing with their Contour meters? I want to donate mine to people that need them. First, I have to make sure a few of my diabetic friends don't need to upgrade theirs.

I've wondered this same question for the past couple of years I've been couponing. If you know you have X number of couponers that come to your store to shop and you know you are having good sales, why would you not order more items. Hey, we are constantly running out of this item, maybe we should order some more. Even bumping your order up by 5 or 10 of an item to see how it goes. Empty shelves irritate and discourage shoppers, especially when you have to drive a distance to get there or have to arrange when you go with not having the little ones with you. It's very frustrating!

I'll stop venting now...LOL!
