Quote from Tipper55 : Walgreens policy [walgreens.com] Q: If a product is out of stock, can I get a rain check? How long is it valid? A: Rain checks are good for in-store purchases only and valid for 30 days. In some instances, a store employee may authorize the substitution of a similar product of the same brand at the advertised price. For further details, browse Terms and Conditions of Use

Has this always been the policy or is this new? My favorite store has never really looked at the dates and I have several rainchecks from awhile back that I'm not sure if I should throw out, but I don't want my store to get in trouble.

Has anyone received their wags december rebate (the $5.99 glucose sticks ?) I received my january rebate today to my paypal ($7.99 and $14.99 phase items) ... shud I be worried or I got company ?

Quote from PixieSaver : Another one from memory lane: The Neutrogena $10 RR about 4-5 summers ago. Worked wyb the soaps. There were also qs. Nice MM. I daydream about that time often.

I keep a bottle of liquid gold on a shelf in one of my stockpile rooms. Brings a smile to my face every time. I fondly remember the first store where I spotted a plastic fish bowl full of those little cuties. My heart actually started racing.

ouch so I assumed wrong that this month's FAR items were the same price as the rebate. Only two were the same price... yikes, one was $35 for a $20 rebate. I wish the website could be PM'd in store. I have to get granny signed up Gotta use some RRs.

and I thought I had missed the revlon saturdate.. but just found out is it this Saturday. my BA is going to look for the coupons she was supposed to get. I have to look for the $1/1 that came recently. I bet I forgot to get a bunch of the free inserts to being sign when that came out.

Thanks for the visual!

I being able to go to a place where everybody understands our particular (peculiar?) passion and even helps us get better at it!

Aaah. Memory lane gets me all sentimental.

Your rainchecks aren't that old... Just ask Ms. Gal.

Yeah, last month they were sale price all month and this month it was just the week, and it was not real obvious.

I have rarely gotten a RC at wags, but that is what I do recall. 30 days. But I do not think it is a hard/fast rule. Still, I would try to make it close to that.

Although, I do remember maaaaaaaany years ago, they would rip out the page from the ad and write the RC on that, LOL. Then I don't think they had exp. date

True.

So today I bought the Mach 3 disposables BOGO1/2 and used the Q and it deducted the strange "average" amount of $8.xx instead of $11.99. I did this same Q and same store 4 days ago and took off $11.99 as it has always done. The only difference I noted was that she scanned 1 and modified quantity to 4. As opposed to scanning same item 4x. It seems hard to believe that would be the critical difference, but there it is. Thoughts and opinions?

That is absolutely the difference. If you have 8 razors and they are rang 8 times, you get full value, if they scan 1 razor and hit the 8 quantity button, you are only going to get the average price. I now watch very closely when I buy razors .

That's very good to know. Will rep you both in another thread.

And when buying things out and about from my store, I simply do not buy a matched "set" different color smell etc, simply so they have to ring each on individually ... no quantity key


If I started to explain that to someone they would think I was plume crazy..

Thanks to all for the input, I'll certainly be aware of this in the future!

The funny/sad thing is, it took the lady longer to push buttons and change quantity than it would've for her to simply scan the 4 items ..
