Today was a good day for me at Walgreens. It was unfortunate that I didn’t get the high-value $5/1 Nasal Ease coupon, so I didn’t get the big moneymaker, but my store was well stocked on the Similasan Nasal Spray, so I bought three of that $1.50 moneymaker deal. The Similasan and the Aquafresh Kids Toothpaste will probably go in an upcoming donation we are doing, but we really needed the Dawn, plus I wanted to try the Nivea products. The Ajax is always good to have around the house.

No luck with the Nasal Ease at my Wags either! I was going to ask about a rain check, but it was busy and I forgot, so does anyone know if they give RR with rain checks? I settled on 2 Similasan Nasal Spray and 2 Kids Aquafresh — spent $9.24 total (no RR) and received 2 $6 RR. (This was 2 transactions)
I don’t think you can get a RR after the fact, because Walgreens is not “in charge” of what comes out of Catalina machines. If others have past experiences, please share.
you are not able to get rrs on the items that are out of stock. but you can definitely get the raincheck… i was trying back last year for the bic soleil razors when they were bogo with the $3 coupons, and i was told no rrs but definitely a raincheck.. originally when i started couponing, i was told you cannot use a raincheck at another walgreen’s store, then that changed, then i was told that your raincheck is only good for a month, i believe now they do not expire (like cvs)…
