Walgreens had an unadvertised special on Quilted Northern Ultra Plush 6 packs (larger rolls). They were stacked by the doorway and they were marked $3. I had two $1/1 coupons, so I bought two at $2 each. I'm not sure if that deal is going on everywhere, but here is a link for a $1/1 Q.N. Ultra Plush coupon.

****EDIT****I just realized there is also a $1/1 coupon for the Quilted Northern Ultra Plush in the October Easy Saver. So, I could have gotten these for $1 each.

I'm sorry to say that that was the highlight of my Walgreens trip. I've never had so many problems in one Walgreens visit. They didn't have any of their sales programmed in and the RR was not working on the cherry flavored Alka Seltzer (although the RR signs were posted beneath EACH flavor Alka Selzer). I had to ask for a manager no less than four times, and even she didn't know the policy (tried telling me you couldn't use a manufacturer's coupon and expect to get register rewards).

I love the deals you can get at Walgreens, but they could stand to make things less complicated for both the consumer and for their employees. If that manager had not been so nasty, I would have felt sorry for her. There was not a five minute span that went by without her being called to the register, I kid you not! In any case, I will stand my ground in these situations every time. I work too hard to figure my deals and drive too far to get them to go home with anything less. You advertise it, you honor it!

I totally agree, Lisa! Walgreen's has some managers and cashiers, but there are also those I wish I could strangle! I definitely have my favorites. If there is a certain cashier in my store when I get there, I just turn around and leave (there is another Walgreen's less than 2 miles up the road). But it can get so old sometimes!

You are really fortunate to have them so close by. I live smack in the middle of nowhere. There is one Walgreens about 50 miles west of me and another one about 50 miles east of me.

I have my favorite cashier, as well. She goes out of her way to help people. I've seen her pull coupons out of her own stash to save people money. And she's just got the patience of a saint! I've emailed praises about her quality of service to Walgreens and told them she deserved a raise. LOL
