dear me. no wonder I haven't posted here in a while. I don't ever want to hear about a "G****" coupon again vomit

Can you believe I have NEVER tried a Walgreens deal?!?!? I don't even know what a RR is or what it does LOL!! laugh out loud I haven't shopped there since the days of Easysaver rebates. Do they even still do that? I'm guessing a RR is similar to a CVS ECB?

I still have RKT from last summer. I think the entire family has boycotted them! Off to a class snack donation for the RKT Whee
Yeap Walgreen's RR's are like the CVS rewards, but they expire in two weeks. As much as I love Target, as long as the RR's print (they are like Catalina coupons) the clerks don't have a fit over your coupons, you can use both a store coupon and MQ and you can make money with the W card I get usually get much better deals at Walgreen's than Target. Lets just say for one, I won't have to buy stamps for years to come Unfortunately Walgreen's is getting ready to change their whole system and for sure get rid of the easy saver book. Right now you can do unlimited deals with many of the products, but there is speculation that any new program they come out with will impose limits. I am sad and that is why I need to start getting back to Target deals, if the Walgreens deals are going to dry up.

Walgreen's will lose a lot of us coupons customers with any changes that stop the deals, but many don't care because coupons even though reimbursed are not counted at store level as profit. These are counted at profit at corporate level, so a store with high coupon use can look unprofitable to corporate. Employee bonuses are based in part on store profit, so you can see why some managers frown on coupon use.

I did Wags deals for awhile but then my stores got nutso about Qs and RRs. I miss getting stamps for free though Sadwalk

Thanks for the info. Saying that managers around here frown on coupon use is an understatement Teehee - more like Chairbash coupon use.

Sky - thanks for my morning laugh!!! INAA, I'm shocked to hear that your aren't classy Wink Maybe the banana bunker discussion should have clued me in Teehee But you are witty and articulate hug

Quote from laTeri :
Yet in letting it go you stir it up again. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what you are referring to there. What I find funny about all of this is your over reaction, and the way you have kept something going that is just not worth worrying over. It's like you're the kind of person that has to get the last word in and won't shut up until everyone agrees with you.

There are PLENTY of things in life to worry about. This isn't one of them. shake head I don't care who was right and who was wrong...I've long ago forgotten what it was even about. All I will remember now is this obsession of yours to keep it going. Time to move on and let it go without throwing parting digs........

Just some unsolicited advice. This is an Internet forum. Not everyone one will think like you or act like you. Some will have animal avatars, some will have ice bergs. Some will be nice and some wont. You can put anyone on ignore that you so wish to do. This is SD, therefore, you will need to grow a thick skin to survive here. Going off into rants will not do it. Take a deep breath, calm down and MOVE ON.
I don't know what you are talking about here, as I did not bring up the G word discussion last night. I was willing to let it go and I did. Here is the post that brought it up again.

https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=17352295&postcount=1162


As for your unsolicited advice, I could care less if people don't like me, because I speak my mind and common sence. Some people like me, some don't oh well. The same can be said of anyone in this thread. As far as me getting a thick skin, I think it is the other way around and those who disagree with me should get a thick skin and not worry about it. They can ignore me the same as I could ignore them. I mean if you think it is ok to call stupid names go ahead, not you personally I haven't seen you do this, but why worry about me disagreeing with it. As for some of your own posts in the lounge you see people don't always agree with you, but I'm sure you don't care either. I certainly don't feel it is a rant to state I think it is immature and stupid to say things like oh the phone is ringing ringing when you don't like what someone has to say, but if you don't think that is wrong then fine, teach your kids that if that is what you think is right.

What is really crappy about all of this is that this all started, because a poster who apologized for his misunderstanding anyway got many many mean comments and I said what why?, and people not just me, get sick of seeing this in the Target thread. And if you would read my original post I stuck up for everyone but those who made crude comments, the poster who made the mistake, slowtech who deserves appreciation and those who told the original op in a nice way what slowtech's post really meant. As far as my posting, this is just something to do, not something for me worry about. Entertainment you know, so whatever.

After I finally learned what RKT stood for LMAO I have to agree, we have a pantry full. I wont eat them, DF hates them, DD eats one maybe once a week!

I think CVS is better than Wags, that is my opinion though.

Congrats!!!

For those getting stamps at Wags, you can get them at CVS also Big Grin Ive got about 8 books right now! Now if you could only convert your ecb into giftcards I would be doing a-ok!
