Walgreens receipt confusing!

**Rhayne** · 04-01-2011, 09:20 AM

Can anyone help me to understand my walgreens receipts from last night? I can't tell if I got too much off or not enough. (THe M&Ms from the 3rd receipt aren't in the picture because my boyfriend already ate them.

hehe)

My total OOP was 11.21
I had 4.50 in total coupons
I also had the 15% off Friends and Family Walgreens coupon that was good only for yesterday.

#1 charged you for two toothpastes at 2.55 then removed it and charged you 1.27.

#2 charged you for two toothbrushes at 2.55 then removed it and charged you 1.32.

Totals ended up correct in both cases.

Thank you so much! I figured it was right but I wanted to make sure. It's weird how it came out. I know I should have paid more though. He was having problems scanning my coupons and the other cashier just told him things to type in and I think he typed in something that made it cheaper then it should have been.

Targets receipts are even more confusing. I think they do it on purpose.

I went there too and also bought the Colgate toothpaste. I just looked at my receipt and they charged me $2.55 for each toothpaste (bought 2). That is the correct price, minus the 15% off coupon. When your cashier took that price off and re-rang it at $1.27 that was wrong. Have no idea where he got that price?

Same for the toothbrushes, backed out and rang up wrong (lower at $1.32 when he should have charged you $2.55 each). Did you get two $4.00 Register Rewards coupons back?

I had 1 - 1.50 off coupon for the toothpaste and 2 - 1.00 off coupons for the toothbrushes. Maybe that's why they were 1.27 and 1.32. All my coupons beeped and wouldnt go through and the second cashier told the first one to just type the coupon price in at what ever their value was. I think he typed in the price of the product as being 1.50 for the paste and 1.55 for the brushes because 15% off of 1.50 and 1.55 is 1.27 and 1.32. WEIRD!

Yes I got all my register rewards. Thats what I paid for the Aveeno with, the rewards and a 1.00 off Aveeno coupon.

Yeah, their receipts are so confusing!

I don't know why your coupons didn't scan properly. I had two of the $1.50 off Colgate coupons and they worked fine. Maybe something wasn't working right with their register. I read somewhere to always give them any RR's first and THEN any manufacturer's coupons after. And also with Walgreens you can't use any more coupons than you have items. With transaction #3 it looks like you had three items and four coupons and it went through ok?

I have no idea why the 3rd transaction went through on 3 items. The cashier said I needed a 3rd item to go with the 3 register rewards. The two 4.00 dollar and the 2.00 were RR and the 1.00 was my actual coupon.

They were having problems with their registers. THe second cashier told the one helping me that he couldn't get any colgate coupons to scan all day.
