We need bandages! There's a bogo curad coupon that I somehow missed! (expires 6/30 though)
Bandages? I will probably be able to help. I have enough dora, spongebob and barbie to wallpaper my daughter's bedroom from WAGS. Whee I would be happy to send you some, I can consolidate them into one box.

We need a new acronym... not a bug exactly, but not a windshield either... Whiskas sailed thru (but I only chose to use 3 Qs), but the Hershey Pieces and Bliss... bug, bug, bug. New cashier was very interested in what they scanned at and wanted help. I guess the lab snack fund gets to pay for that chocolate...usually I just buy it and don't charge them, but, not if I actually have to PAY for it.

Lipton tea 12 pk bottles have $1.75/2 Qs on them (goes well with the $1/1 TQ). 100 Calorie pack TQ still works as well.

Wish you lived close, I've got more bandages than I'll use in my lifetime (if I can remember where I put them. They're in a metal box somewhere).

I'm thinking it depends on your q's. I think if you do bw/deo combo, then it works out - I'm just confused at which q's to get/use!

I know there's a $10.00 RR wyb $25 of gillette/os deo and some other things, then the free body wash.
I think the $10RR specifically excludes body wash Sadwalk

Quote from bblueskye :
Good idea... Gator, I know there is one type of wags GC (the W card or red one Dontknow) that won't work with RRs (someone who wags regularly, please help me out here) - maybe that was the type you were getting.
Yep. I tried the red ones only. Will try tomorrow, was going to stop there tonight but on my way into the parking lot, I saw *my* cashier get in her car. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.

Sorry for the bug-ish run. You sure are nice to keep the lab snack fund plied with chocolate...a little OOP once in while keeps one honest Ninja

I already left my extras on the shelf at Target. I didn't know anyone could use expireds. I guess in the future I'll check here first when I have real good TQs about to expire or just expired.

I've found two things that have tripped me up on buying Wags GC's.
1 - Checking out at the photo counter. Don't ask me why but frequently if I check out there I can't seem to make it work. Maybe it's just me though.
2 - Using a W Card (GC from a return) or an old Wags Rebate GC to pay for the remaining balance will ALWAYS cause the new GC you are purchasing to be voided. Seems to be the way the registers are programmed as those cards were not suppose to be able to purchase other GC's.
On a positive note if you find a clerk/store that will let you buy the GC's i found that you can just ask them to add to the balance of your existing card then even pay with that same card you just added to as it is already activated.


Unfortunately more and more stores around here will not allow you to purchase GC's with RR's which for the uninitiated requires buying an equal number of cheap fillers as you have RR's.

But I have found another more complicated method that some of the strict stores will allow as by the form of a sort of loop hole you can claim you are not really using the RR's to pay for the GC's. Took a bit of explaining but like a said a few of the stricter stores will allow this. What you do is purchase items that you are paying for with coupons, but then add the value of your coupons to the GC and pay for the items with the RR's instead. Confused? what I mean is if you are using $10 in coupons on your order purchase a $10 GC and then use an extra $10 RR to pay for the "pre-coupon" cost of the item. That way in a wierd and twisted way you are technically not using more RR's $$'s than you have in actual merchandise and it is the coupons that are creating the overage towards the GC's.

Here is an example

(1) Gillette Body Wash 10-16 oz $4.49
(1) Trial size Gillette Body Wash $.99
(1) Renu Contact Solution 7.99
Original Sub-Total = $13.47

- (2) $6 RR's
Sub-Total = $1.47 (Still above $0 after RR's RIGHT?)

Then add $5 GC
and (2) Fillers (For my math lets assume to 0.39 Royal Puddings or $0.78)
Sub-Total = $7.25

- $4/2 Gillette Q
- $2 Renu
FINAL TOTAL - $1.25 OOP
Spent $12 RR
Earn $12.50 RR & $5 GC
Plus items for both YS & Food Pantry

Its a lot of work I realize but at some stores its the only way I can make it work. Also works great on the occasional deal where items are flat out free after coupons to begin with like the Reach Toothbrushes a while back because then you can just but them all in one lot not tons of individual orders.

Yeah, it does. Frown BUT... if you have the buy deo, get free bw coupon, you can do the free bw, and then do enough deo's in the transaction to work - right?? Then get both the 10.00 RR & the $4.50 RR.

*laugh* But Wags is a fun puzzle sometimes.

ladycat - I have 1 store that allows expireds (and I heart that store!!) - and I know some areas have stores that always take them because of state laws. Smilie

Yep....the deo will work towards the goal of the $25.

Yes...It is a fun puzzle.

Not many stores around here take the expires. I don't ask. Just try to use up only the ones from two weeks prior.

Tonight my transaction was.

Renu, HE and Gilette..Minus 1,1 and 2..Use a 10RR and paid under $2 which I used a gc to cover that amount. Receive back. 7.50,4.50 and 2 RR. Mind you I was not happy my total was that high...Will study receipt to get OOP lower. Smilie

Reports are stating HE rolls. So now whenever I need to buy more HE I know I can use this handy 2RR. with any of my transactions.

Fantastic!, next time I have some of those great TQs expiring I'll post them on here.

I HATE putting qs for $5 GC on the shelves, but sometimes I don't have enough MQs to go with them so I end up with extra ones.

I completely agree even though its the game I've been playin for years.

This is why I've been stalking the T threads for some months now and have been spending more & more time in T than Wags. I much prefer receiving GC's from the start and not having to split up orders as much as at Wags.

But sometimes I still can't resist the pull of the MM deals over there and at least in this area the clerks just seem to be a little more friendly at Wags. There are exceptions at both stores of course but still...
