FAQS: (Check out Walgreens new coupon policy here!)

Do you do multiple transactions at one store on one visit?
It just depends. Several stores in my area have gone to a “one RR per item per day” rule, which means I can’t do more than one transaction where I’m earning RR for the same product at the same store. Some of the stores in my area also will not let you use the RR you earn from one transaction on another transaction in that same visit.  I’m fortunate to have several stores within a few minutes of my house, so I usually try to break up transactions at different stores and on different days to stay in the good graces of my stores.

What is Walgreens policy on using BOGO free coupons with a BOGO free offer, adjusting down coupons, etc.? 
The new coupon policy does not really using a BOGO free coupon with a BOGO free promotion, but it does say you can use up to two coupons as long as the total doesn’t go below zero, so, you SHOULD be able to do this!!

Walgreens coupon policy is now to adjust the value of coupons down – YAY!!

Some helpful tips:
*At Walgreens, you can use ONE manufacturer’s coupon and ONE store coupon per item (always give the store coupon last to avoid problems)

*At Walgreens, you cannot do a promotion more than once in a transaction and earn Register Rewards. (for example, if you buy 2 Gillette razors at one time, you will only earn a RR for one)

*You also typically cannot use the Register Rewards earned from a promotion on the same promotion and earn Register Rewards again. For example, if you buy the Gillette razor and use the RR from that to buy more, the RR will not print

*Register Rewards are considered to be “manufacturer’s coupons” and you can only use one manufacturer’s coupon per item. You will have to add “filler” items if you are using a manufacturer’s coupon and a RR. The in ad coupons often have good, inexpensive filler items. (check out the weekly match-ups for ideas)

*If you are using more than one RR in a transaction, always give the RR with the highest value FIRST. Sometimes strange things happen with coupons and taxes and even if you think you have planned out your scenario very well, you will end up with more overage than you planned for.

*If you are buying items that would result in a “free” item or “overage” when combining a store coupon and a manufacturer’s coupon, give the manufacturer’s coupon FIRST, and the store coupons LAST to avoid beeping/issues at the register! Make sure that you are purchasing enough items in your total transaction to “cover” the overage. You will not get cash back and you will have to add items to cover the overage or they will not take the coupon.

*If your Register Reward doesn’t print for some reason and you have fulfilled all of the obligations for the “deal” (including not using RR from the same parent company to pay) DO NOT let them tell you it is because you used coupons! Chances are they didn’t print because the catalina machine is not working. You have two choices: you can return your items and try again or you can contact the catalina company by doing the following:
*The store will give you a form to fill out and mail in to catalina
*Call 1-877-210-1917, option 1

Katy/West Houston Readers: It’s not too late to register for Tot2Tot!

September 4, 2011 by

Are you looking to get rid of some of your baby gear, toys, and kids clothing?  Have you tried garage sales in the past and decided it just wasn’t worth the time and hassle?  It’s not to late to register for the Tot2Tot Consignment Sale!  You can turn all of that “stuff” that’s just been sitting around into CASH!  If you’re not ready to part with some of your items, you should still go check the sale out!  You can save BIG on quality stuff!

Here’s the scoop on the sale:

Merrell Center
Thursday, September 8th – pre-sale 7-8 pm (Volunteers/First time moms/teachers/military only)
Friday, September 9th – 9 am-5 pm (open to the public)
Saturday, September 10th – 9 am-2 pm (open to the public)

If you are going to sell items, you will need to drop them off on Thursday, September 8th between 3 pm and 6 pm.

I participated in my first Tot2Tot Consignment Sale in March and had a GREAT experience!  I’m looking forward to this sale, too!  I have done garage sales many times before and honestly, for me, it’s not worth the hassle of sitting there arguing with people about prices.  I have also sold on Ebay and other online forums, but between Paypal fees, shipping, and having to take all those photos, it also wasn’t worth it.  It’s nice to have someone do the work for you (with the exception of pricing, of course).

Here are some of my “tips for success” for consignment sales:

1.  Make sure clothing is in good condition (free from stains, holes, etc.).  If you wouldn’t let your child wear it anymore, no one else wants their child to wear it, either!  If items are wrinkled fromstorage, you may want to iron them just to improve the appearance.

2.  Group items together and sell them as an outfit.  From my experience, outfits sell better than single items!

3.  Price to sell.  If your goal is to get rid of items and your prices are too high, they will not sell.  Depending on the brand and quality of the item, pricing between 1/3 to 1/2 of the original purchase price is a good rule of thumb.  I was able to sell  Gymboree and Gap items for more than items from Old Navy or Target.  Also, you may consider listing your items for half price on Saturday.

4.  Donate what’s left to a charitable organization.  Tot2Tot will take care of this for you if you choose and they will send you a receipt with the items that you donated so you can claim it on your taxes!
