There’s probably nothing I like more than FREE gum!! Walgreen’s has Mentos UP2U gum on sale this week for 99¢ (appears to be unadvertised special). There is a $1/2 Walgreens coupon in their monthly coupon book. Match that up with a $1/2 MQ from 3/25/12 SS and you’ve got 2 FREE UP2Us!!!
Here’s how to do the deal:
- BUY 2 Mentos UP2U Gum @ 99¢ each
- USE 1 MQ $1/2 Mentos from 3/25/12 SS
- USE 1 Walgreen’s Q $1/2 Mentos from Walgreens April Savings Book
- = 2 FREE Mentos UP2U!!
TIP – Because the total for this transaction would be $1.98, but you’ve got $2 in coupons, this will cause the register to beep.
According to Walgreen’s coupon policy, they are to adjust down the value of the MQ in this case. So they should adjust the MQ value to be 98¢ rather than $1.
Many Walgreen’s employees do not know the coupon policy. I recommend carrying a copy of their policy with you so that you can show them how to process the transaction. Another way around this is to buy a “filler” item, something of low cost to absorb the 2¢ overage. Choose your filler item wisely … you don’t want to be spending extra $ just to get your freebie! But it is less of a hassle to buy the filler.
