Walgreens 11/11 - 11/17 Deals

Quote from chasingdealz : I can't remember... on Saturday if the next weeks ad is turned on, can we use an ivc from the next weeks ad?

Yes you can!

Quote from sunshinesmom : Yes you can!

Great...I may have a little deal if you need soda. I know we've used 2 ivc's on the same product in the past (a monthly and a weekly). Pepsi 12 packs are on sale 3/$12 the week of 11/11 and 11/18. There's an ivc in each weeks ad for buy 3 pepsi 12 packs get a diet pepsi 12 pack free. The ivc's are different numbers...the 11/11 ad is ivc #1100 and the 11/18 ad is ivc #1280. Do you think we could buy 3 pepsi 12 packs and 1 diet pepsi 12 pack and use both ivc's since they are different ivc #'s? It would be 12+4-4-4=$8 for 4 12 packs. If you get the discount...10.20+3.40-3.40-3.40=$6.80 for 4 12 packs. I believe Dr. Pepper is a Pepsi product in South Florida, so you could also use the $1.00 mq for Dr. Pepper if you bought Dr. Pepper...3 Dr. Peppers and 1 Diet Pepsi 12+4-4-4-1-1-1=$5 for 4 12 packs. If you get the discount 10.20+3.40-3.40-3.40-1-1-1=$3.80 for 4 12 packs.

Do you think this would work?

I have a question for pwcpal or anyone else who can answer.

The original early listing of points deals from pwcpal shows that the points deals are now - starting with this ad -- buy X or more of product Y and get N points. Before this ad we know that most of the deals had been buy X of product Y and get N points. i.e. prior to this ad you could buy multiples in one transaction and get points for every one. But supposedly it was to change with this ad -- so now if you buy multiples you would only get points for 1. This was all per pwcpal's early listings of the deals. (Thank you very much, by the way for all that you do.)

Now that the ad is out for this week I noticed that it does not contain this new wording -- i.e. Buy X OR MORE and get N points -- but rather the ad still has the old wording. So - does anyone know the scoop on this -- will there be limits per transaction now or not? I know -- we can always try things and find out but I'd like to avoid that hassle if someone has the inside scoop.

also -- this will be relevant for the Black Friday deals as well.

Thank you

There was no change this week. I've been typing the "or more" since the second week the points became active, with every point deal. We discussed it, and I pointed out that is what the info says. The RR info says the same thing, but we all know the limit one per transaction with that. You can look at the previous wikis, and see they all have the same note with point deals.

Up to this point, other than Mitchum, I think, Wags has not imposed that limit. I can certainly quit typing that note, as every point deal says the same thing. . ."or more". If I do omit that info, and Wags decides to impose the limit, I can go back to typing it with each deal.

So, there is no change. Every point and RR deal in these reports say that, but it is not printed in the ad, and Wags is not imposing limits at this point. I can put a note at the top of the wiki that says the reports say Buy X or more, and we'll just leave it at that unless Wags does start putting limits on these point deals. Would definitely cut down a tedious part of typing this stuff up.

OK. thank you for clearing that up. I guess I never noticed that you had been doing this all along. I was thinking it was a new thing for this ad.

But, yes if it saves you time then leave it off. You already work too hard for us!!

Works for me. If anyone notices any kind of limits for point deals in the ad, please give us a HU and we can change the wiki info. If you look at the 10/28 ad, the last page has the Scope RR deal, with double asterisk symbols behind "Rewards". On the bottom of the ad, that symbol means - "Limit 1 coupon printed per offer...Card required for sale price but not to redeem Register Rewards". We need to watch those notes and symbols to see if anything appears for bonus point deals.

I assumed when the point deals rolled out, they would be a limit one per transaction because they had the same note as the RR's. I hope it stays this way, but who knows with Wags. They obviously have given the newspaper companies instructions to not print a limit per transaction note in the ad.

This is a question in regards to using the AARP and purchasing $25 in one transaction:

If I purchase $25 in one transaction--was thinking of the $10 RR item, rebate item, scunci and Renu to convert some balance points into RRs-- and then "pay" for purchase with balance reward points, will I still earn the 5000 AARP points? I know I have used the AARP card and earned the 5000 points but cannot, for the life of me, remember if I had used balance points or RRs in the transaction.

Found nothing in the Balance rewards thread in regards to this and since it would apply to this week's transaction, thought someone might have an answer for me here.

I'm thinking points is points, therefore no dice. I wouldn't risk it. Unless you have a very understanding manager who will let you immediately do a return if/when it doesn't work out.

*Bonus Buys – may not be marked at your store

Quick question for you experts. I haven't been to walgreens since they started points, but the Renu contact solution deal is calling me back! We go through almost a bottle a week, and I had about 25 bottles from the last freebie sale. That one was easy because there was another FARR item to flip back and forth with. My stores limit us to one per sale, but I hit 4 each day until they ran out Renu is $6.99 with $5 rr, and there is a $2 q on coupons dot com. Is there anything I can flip with this time so my oop is around $1 each purchase? I looked, but I'm not seeing many options...thanks, all.

Ohhhhhhhh if I had just waited til today to do this deal on the suave I could have had double the bonus points that i earned yesterday!!!!!!!!!

Easiest option would be if you can find the Wags booklets called "diabetes care". It has a $10 mq for the Bayer Next EZ meter. That would be free, get 5,000 points. They either need to manually enter the $10 mq, or PM the item to $10.

Then, use those 5,000 points to buy the Re-Nu.

You are the best!!! Can't rep you again but will as soon as I can.

in need of some help. when i used to wags a long time ago they usually turned the ad on early, after 9pm. But now with the new points system would we still get the points that are listed for the item if we buy them tonight instead of tomorrow???
