Walgreens is having trouble with Nabisco actually shipping the Crackerfuls to their warehouses and then on to the individual stores. And not only the Wags warehouses, but also private concerns – no one has any product because they claim Nabisco isn’t shipping any. The way I see it, Nabisco shares a promotion with Walgreens, but then refuses to ship the product so the sales can’t be honored. Even getting a rain check won’t help because Wags doesn’t issue register rewards after the fact. New Info: The 5/22 S has a full page of Wags coupons…$1/2 Crackerfuls is one of them. So with a $2 RR it’s a $1.50 MM, without it, it’s .50 a box. Coupon exp. date is 7/5/11.
My suggestion? Call the National Biscuit Company and raise hell. Toll free: 1-800-NABISCO www.nabiscoworld.com.
Just got off the phone with the Nabisco customer service – they must be trained at the Dominicks Center for Helpful Service. Their position is that they ship product to distributors throughout the country and it’s up to the distributor to deliver the Crackerfuls to Walgreens. Woman kept asking for the UPC code, which is a little difficult to provide when you don’t have the product! She also had no idea of how the Register Rewards program worked and in point of fact, didn’t shop at Walgreens (and before you ask, yes, they have them on the east coast). I asked for information on the distributor for the Chicagoland area – she suggested the Yellow Pages – bitch.
If enough people call Nabisco and ask them just the hell kind of game they’re playing, maybe they’ll get on the stick and ship stuff out. Vent!!!
I also recommend contacting Walgreen’s corporate office: toll-free (800) 925-4733 – PRESS 4 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday thru Friday and, in the immortal words of Pee-wee Herman, “Scream Real Loud!”
I find it difficult to accept that a nationwide chain does not have sufficient pull that when a partner pulls out of a joint promotion (and believe me, not shipping product is my definition of refusing to meet the terms of the contract), they have no legal recourse.
In the best of all possible drugstore worlds, Walgreens would have sufficient Crackerfuls to fill our orders. In the second best drugstore world, say CVS, they would issue rain checks and the $2 Register Rewards when the Crackerfuls come in. In this Kmart universe, the consumer, once more, gets the shaft. without lube. repeatedly.
And the above rant can be used for other Memorial Day promos…just substitute IcyHot for Crackerfuls. and i am not kidding in the least.
So, until I get further information on this Crackerfuls situation, there is no point in rushing out the winners’ coupons. The expiration dates are July 10, so there’s no hurry. If anyone has seen these in quantity at any Walgreens in any location, please comment or send me a message. I’ll spend as much time as I have to to resolve this.
The Wags Memorial Day sale on Crackerfuls is good at free, but great when you throw in that $1 coupon….so let’s sweeten the deal: Comment below by Friday, May 20th at 5pm and PITA might choose you. Yes, that’s right. PITA will pick five people who will get 10 Crackerfuls coupons each. That’s 10 free boxes and a $10 MM. are you feeling the love yet?
OK, why am I the first to post a comment on both the giveaways. If you pick me for this one too, your mom can save herself a stamp. That is something, isn’t it?

These smell bad and taste worse-but my daughter loves them and this is the only way she is going to get any.
Hi there, wow, this is my second post here! I think you and your site are so humorous, I absolutely love it, thanks to Rachel for linking over here!
The kids love the crackerfuls, and sometimes eat them for breakfast and I love the whole grain part! I paid $1 at jewel for them even with coupons (now my coupons are gone) when they were on sale. I know, choke, choke! Anyway, free and MM is SUPER!
I wouldlove to have this giveaway. my grandkids love these crackers and i could use hte rrs…its so sweet of you to do such a thing like this.
Not sweet at all. We know the winners, we case your house, break in and steal your stockpile while you’re out picking up your lousy cracker! Bwahahahaha *cough* *cough* *cough*
silky (sons words) cheese n crackers……..oh yeah the kids dig’m.
My darling daughter loves these… She likes to eat the “cheese” and feed the crackers to the dog. Hence, my dog loves these, too.
Pick me and we can have a fun party with Justin Bieber!
Holy Crap-ola ! Everyone and their sister/brother/aunt/uncle —-etc wants these coupons! Pita might have a tough time choosing! Just print out each name on a separate piece of paper (I know there is PLENTY of paper at your house!) – crumple up each piece of paper – toss them all in the air at the same time – which ever one hits the floor first is the winner! Oh yeah – almost forgot – you have to put a little weight in the crumpled paper with my entry (I am sure you can find something from your Mom’s stockpile to use – travel size shampoo, hand sanitizer something like that). Just trying to be helpful!
yum yum 😛
Would love to win! Just so I could give these to all the kids that come freeloading at my house!! Kidding, I love having all of them over, BUT I love giving them whatever I have as long as its free!!
You should really pick me!! We have 12 mouths to feed and I coupon like crazy so that every little bit counts!! 🙂
Well, I tried being on a diet, thought the “whole wheat” aspect made these things ok…that is until I ate the whole box in one day. Please help me continue on this diet with these coupons 😉
Hey, it’s only six lousy crackers in each box, so don’t be so hard on yourself! been there, done that, won’t admit it to DH…
My kids would love these crackers since they love to eat healthy snacks.
I need this MM because I just moved into my own apartment and I’m staaaaaaaaarving 🙂 Thank goodness these preserved food deals happen every once in a while.
late entry, but I’m in! Thanks for the fun contest.
Please pick me!
Um…..pick me, for my wife, who will kill me if I don’t post this for her seeing as she forgot and is now texting me to write something clever and appealing. . I’m intimidated by you couponing ladies…especially by my wife…
I’m in. That is all.
Can’t tell if this is a raffle, or a persuasion. Does PITA read these and then choose?
Crackerfuls, crackerfuls I love thee!
Eat them in the morning, eat them for free!
Dear PITA, not only does my son LOVE Crackerfuls but he loves when mommy uses coupons too!! Please, make his day 🙂
I love Crackerfuls and I love to be picked, so please!!
Hey everybody! This guy loves to be picked on. Have at it!
PITA, pick me. I just willingly rented the Justin Bieber movie for my daughter so she can join the Bieber cult you all so willingly follow. She’s three. Let’s start her out early. Reward me with snack coupons…thanks.
There is a $1.5/1 MQ for Ritz Crackerfulls.
The $1.50 coupon was regional and didn’t show up in the Chicagoland area…now if you have some…still won’t do you any good without the effing product!!! grrrr. now I’m angry again. those boids got nuttin’ on me
Are you saying that the icy-hot deal is a no-go too????? wth!
From all signs, YES! Wags cannot get the product into the warehouse, so it can’t be shipped. I really don’t know what’s going on with Wags lately, but they’ve been out of stock more often than in stock.
And wouldn’t ya know, I have TONS of coupons for both the icy-hot and crackerfuls damn!
CALL AND BITCH! We’re not even talking about putting limits here – there is no product.
I’m calling and bitching!

I was at Walgreens at 5:30am and was amazed not one box on the shelf…until I read your post-thank you! Kind of amazing everyone is complaining of low sales and then they aren’t shipping any.
Welcome to the monkey house! Yes, you would be hard pressed to find a box of Crackerfuls in Illinois – Indiana has another warehouse, so that’s possible, but not likely. Our Wags warehouse is on strike, so all products were shipped to the Wisconsin warehouse, which makes it even more messed up, imo.
Walmart had plenty-probably from well before. Really nice of Wags to put the little sale sticker up knowing they didn’t have any there on the shelf. Oh well.
