So I went to Walgreens last week with 10 $3/1 Venus razor coupons. I brought 10 razors up to the counter, the cashier scanned them individually and then scanned my coupons individually, I ended up paying about $2.5X for tax on the $30 order.

This morning I went to the same Walgreens and the cashier handled the transaction the same way but this time there was NO tax and I walked out without giving them a penny.

this is a mystery that is happening at all WG across the nation....

I bought bandaids $1 per box and I had $1/1 coupons -- bought 12, paid $0 -- cashier tried to convince me that health related products don't get taxed....hmmm, so why did I pay tax on Sudafed??

I bought gum this week -- BOGO WG price, had BOGO coupons -- paid $0 for my 4 packs of gum. Last week, similar deal, paid about 0.01 a pack in tax.

Not complaining... but thinking that WG is going to realize the computer problem before too long.

just wondering were you using any coupons from the walgreens ad or just manuf coupons?

there is NO tax on store coupons but there IS tax on manuf. coupons

I used only manufacturer coupons in my transactions.

For the bandaids = only mfr coupons

For the gum = both types of coupons


Trust me -- this is the WG mystery on many boards.... *insert twilight zone music*
