Get $5.50 RR

Transaction 3:
4 Kellog's Smart Start Cereal $10
Fillers for $1.50
Use Two $3/2 q's for cereal - $6
Use $5.50 RR from Toothbrush -$5.50
OOP = $0 + tax
Get back $2 RR

Repeat this back and forth until I am out of Cereal q's

I'm doing the Smart Start cereal and Oral B in a similar manner. I'm actually hoping to do the replacement packs at Wags and the toothbrushes at CVS. I'm also going to do the Healthy Radiance, so I've got to work it out to see the best way.

I'm just thinking out loud here...since WAGs doesn't have cust cards to swipe in order to get advertised deals they cannot track how many a customer buys. If you have multiple Oral B cross Action Power or Cross Action Power Whitening refill BOGO then it seems to me you could make as many transactions as you have coupons. Or if the cashier wont allow you to "cheat" the system that way you could make more than one trip to WAGs during this sale in order to use all coupons.

Is this bad? I donate 90% of the items I get free or discounted so I don't feel that bad for using loopholes to get it. The store still gets paid for the item.

I ended up with four tooth brushes, I was going to get six the night I was there, but I wanted to leave some for others doing the deal.

I bet he's bluffing.

I used the $3 Coke RR to pay for the Oral B TBs combined with the BOGO Q, I still got the 5.50 RR.

I got this deal today. Thanks!

[bubbsguy]

I used the 5.50RR to buy cereal and it printed the 2.00RR. That was tuesday and they had lots of toothbrushes, I was surprised.

[MSMom]

I ended up just doing all my stuff in one transaction because the store was about to close. I'll go back later this week and get more cereal and the calcium creamies that are FAR.

maybe my brain is on vacation...but what do you mean by this?

[wallace4some]

My local store stil had tons left. The cashier was even asking if I'd like a free toothbrush (because I didn't think about it)...then I remember the 2 q's and she's like WOW we'll do 3 transactions. So I paid $.85 twice for 4 of the nice powered toothbrushes. WAY TO GO WALGREENS!

[amylynnk]

My store was out today but said they would get more in tomorrow. I am not sure with gas prices its worth the 20 mile drive to the next closest one. I have been out of town and actually took the Qs from my MILs paper should have went to a store in PA instead of waiting to get home to Iowa hahahaha

I wanted to roll the RR for the FAR stuff.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, although it looks like a great deal, it is NOT proper use of the BOGO Qs

it says you buy one of the X action power TB and you get one free. so if you use another BOGO Q, you didn't pay for any, right?

we can only use 1 BOGO Q on this deal, pay for the first one either with cash, GC, CC or DC or RR from a different promo and the BOGO Q pays for the 2nd TB. if anyone disagrees that this is the proper use of the Qs, I would like to know why.

Someone did just that at my Walgreens. No toothbrushes left for me...

[CK147]

I got 4 toothbrushes used 2 coupons, (2 transactions). I'm happy. How is the deal work with the refills they said $9.99 at my store. Thanks

[jptn12]

I'm so confused at my store there were tons of tb, they were right next to the cashregister. They had a sign on them 2/5.50 or 1 for 5.50??? i really don't get that, i asked the cashier she said it was something like the bodywash they had last time were you buy one and it spits you out a coupon for a free tb. not a rr for 5.50 , so i'm lost I didn't buy any, i decided to get the deal at cvs instead. has anybody else come across this or is my wags just different. I'm so confused????

[myoung]

The cashier was incorrect, you get a $5.50 RR to use on ANYTHING that you want.

The refills either were not marked with the sale tag, or you were looking at the wrong ones. The refill info is in this week's ad, ask the store to help you find the right ones that are $5.50. FYI, they are a 2-pack, NOT the 3-pack.

[CK147]

I'll have to look tomorrow. Are they also giving the RR. Thanks

[myoung]

Yes, you get an RR if your purchase the Toothbrush OR the Refills.

[bubbsguy]

My walgreens gets a truck on friday and they had a whole shelf on an endcap full of them at least 20, I was quite shocked.

[myoung]

I used all of the RR's I earned from this deal on Wags rebate items, AND other rebate items, like the Tum's Quickpak that came out in inserts a few weeks back. It's nice to get your money back twice!

[klarsen117]

So does this deal end today? I finally got my coupons I bought on ebay and guess what?? They are for the refills, not the toothbrushes themselves. Aaarrrggghhhh! I went back to read the ad I bought and the title said "toothbrush/refills" but sure enough, the discription says refills, no mention of toothbrush at all. That sure stinks for me, . I was hoping this deal would run for another week or at least once again before the coups expire so I can go back to ebay and accually buy the coups I wanted in the first place. Wishful thinking I guess

[fluffkin79]

If you can find the refills (I only found 1 at 4 stores) buy all you can and get a $5.50 RR for each pair. Then buy at least 1 toothbrush to use with your refills and get another $5.50 RR. You will be stocked on toothbrushes for a while. You don't get the extra free brush from the BOGO coupon, but they are all kinda free anyways.

Unless, of course, you were planning to use these as gifts.

[klarsen117]

I didn't get the coup in my inserts and bought 3 before I found out about the bogo coup. so I bought one for each of my kids and yeah, I did want them for gifts. I went to one Wags today and only got 2, I didn't feel like going to any other stores

[lovethecold]

Can I still get the $5.50 RR if I go buy 2 refills today? I need refills for my old brush. TIA!

I believe that deal only ran through last Saturday (6/21/08).
