Here's the link for the weekly ad:

https://www.walgreens.com/offers/...p/weeklyad



Since there aren't tons of posts in the weekly threads, what do you think of changing to a continuous running thread, like Target and Kroger. This would enable us to read overlapping weeks' deals easier.

Your opinions are valuable!
Things can stay as they are; or, things can change. If deals improve, if we do change, the weekly threads could return.

Discussions are useful. Walgreen's shopping is certainly not what it was a few years ago.

Your comment cannot be blank.

I am so excited! Just saw an IG post with new Wags procedures for pick up orders that will address some of the issues we have had to deal with! Effective 8/26.

Biggest is that if your order is cancelled or updated due to stock issues, your coupons go back to your account so you can try again!!!

$10 minimum for pick up orders, I assume before MQs but after IVC etc as usual, but it didn't say specifically.

Advanced options for associates to do substitutions- not sure of the details here either, but sounds like if you ordered four of the same shampoo and they had three in stock, they could not substitute just the one so had to mark the whole line as unavailable. Again, this was not spelled out, but that is what it looked like to me.

Looks like they are trying to fix every idiotic thing I ran into the last two days. Plenty of things need to be fixed. All they have to do is benchmark against CVS, Safeway, etc., and copy those systems for usability if they can't design on their own.

I saw that memo and bet they raise the minimum order again. They claim customers are the reason for this change but it was wags employees.

Some of the Olay Minerals are on clearance 50% off. If you have the $10 DQs recently given, it will count for the P&G rebate and end up pretty cheap. Plus there's a bunch of olay face products 50% off too and have some lower value DQs. Also should ring b1g1 50% off for the minerals.

I just read a couple posts about IGers complaining about spending money in the drugstores. Like two different people were saying they'd never spend a $ amount to get something. But I think it's more of these newer IGers who don't understand how it works. Including using DQs to lower the oop and using rebates to get it back. All the money I do spend, I get it back which is why I'm not pressed to spend it. You can get plenty for free without spending alot of money anyway. But you still have to start somewhere. Plus a lot of them commit coupon fraud to get their freebies. They don't understand the basics of aquiring more than what they spent then getting back the rest through apps and various rebates. I think they just see "free" and run with it.

The person who nicely answered after you, corrected your meeting threshold "after tax" (which is incorrect and more confusing) to "before tax" which made sense.

Nothing you said had anything to do with my detailed frustration with the system and now people are reporting that they will be fixing some of these very things. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Grow some humility, lady and become self aware if you really want to help.
Most of us here really appreciate and count on LasyD. I know she can be indelicate (LOL) sometimes with her spoonfeeding, but she is actually pretty nice, and immeasurably helpful.

I'm afraid it may be naive for anyone to think Wags will "fix" their system. It's been that way for years, having many "fixes" that don't work, and make it even more difficult.

I received the 5 X coupon and it is on my account.
I bought 3 Oral B, and 1 Crest @ $3. each
Used $6/4 coupon
Cash rewards earned this visit $8.60
($4 x 2 for 2 Crest/Oral B purchases)

Does that sound right? I don't get where the 5 x rewards comes into play.
Appreciate any Wags wisdom!

Yes that is correct, you would normally get .12 for a $12 purchase but instead got .60 (5x instead of 1X), the $8 was for buying 4

I'm feeling pretty "lasy" this week. lol! Haven't been out yet to see what damage I can do at wags yet. And thank you. Smilie The latter I started to post but I figured that the poster will learn the hard way that wags will not fix what they believe is not broken. We've been in the wags game since they first started points & RRs and they just tweak it to frustrate you. That's why I aim to get back more than what I spend.

Okay Waggers, idk why I'm having a dilemma but here goes. WWYD:

Placed large online pickup order. (Mistake 1 😂)

Manufacturers coupons totaled way more than $40. I paid $50 in wcr and like .58 oop

Of course 2 items oos & not substituted, despite me marking allow.

They adjusted my order so it was all $43.xx wcr and $0.00 oop

Per a convo previous with a rep, he said you must have at least .01 oop for the system to award the booster points despite your coupon total. Wish I could have him in speed dial.

I got back $19 wcr and $9 for the "redeemed" but cancelled coupons.

Still leaves me $10 in the hole. Tried chatting & explaining your cs but I'd have better luck getting my dog to understand the MQ count towards threshold thing.

My dilemma being -$10: should I return it all or chalk it up to win some lose some? WWYD

My 2nd story toothpaste addition will have to wait a bit longer.
