I stopped at Walgreens today to do a quick shop and check out a rumor. I had read about some problems with Robitussin To-Go not being in stock and what Wags was doing to make it up to the customer. If you go to Wags, you may see a sign in front of the Robitussin To-Go and Robitussin DM explaining a substitution.
Here is what is going on: Due to some “manufacturing difficulties,” the Robitussin To-Go in the ad that comes with the $2.49 RR is not available. Walgreens is substituting the 4oz Robitussin DM to make up for the issue. It’s going to be a bit complicated, but this is good for us since there is a $2 Robitussin coupon we can use to make this a moneymaker! So not only are you getting more product with the 4oz, they’re paying you to take it out of the store.
According to the manager at my store, the Robitussin DM will ring up $4.99. The cashier should have a coupon that will make this $2.49 and give you the $2.49 RR. I have not tried this yet, but this is the point where I would give the $2 coupon. You may have to ask the cashier about the coupon, so make sure you are paying attention!
Here’s what I did buy at the store today:
4 Dove Shampoo
4 Dove Conditioner
1 Halls
I used
4 $1.50 Dove Conditioner coupon
4 $1 Dove Haircare coupon
$8 RR from previous transaction
Final Price: $5.03
Got Back $11 RR ($10 Dove, $1 Halls)
Total Cost: $2.03 (my 10.25% tax was $2.05, Grrr…)
I thought about getting the Quaker deal too, but we’re pretty stocked on oatmeal and there were only 4 on the shelf. I’m going to give that one to someone else. Now I have to get back to Wags for the Dulcolax moneymaker and other weekly freebies, but I’m waiting to get my $25 Wags gift certificate validated for transferring a prescription. I got it in the mail yesterday. ![]()
