Update once again: I just placed my order with Coupon Dede (right sidebar). Her coupons are going for .15/each, no limit, with very low shipping costs and yes I know eBay may have sellers for less, but Dede is very fast, I’ve never heard of anyone getting screwed and you earn points for every coupon purchased, which can be applied to future purchases. this now ends my commercial announcement and i return you to your previous post. Okay, although I have read on other sites that all Almay products are triggering the $5 RR, the actual ad says “participating product” so the following list are the only UPCs actually listed on Wags forms: oil-free remover pads $7.99 (30997632200); intense mascara $7.99 (30997341202); nearly naked cover-up stick $7.99 (30997675902); Clear Complexion $7.99 (30997676801); makeup remover towelettes $5.99 (30997592440); makeup remover 4 oz $5.99 (30997757708); eyeliner pencil $7.79 (30997271301). As you can see, buying the $5.99 will get you the biggest bang for your buck: $5.99 less 30% gets you down to $4.19, less the $2 mfr coupon and the $2 Wags coupon. The Wags coupon will drop the tax down to 8.25% on $2.19 (or about .18). So you’re OOP about .37 and will get back $5 RR. Go get those coupons already! NOTE: Steve will only be able to take special orders through tomorrow, March 11, at 2:30 pm. This product comes from a different warehouse and he is making a large, special order of our combined requests. If you want to place your orders with him, call either today (he will be working and accepting orders until 11 pm) or tomorrow at 2:30 pm.
I am unable to post all the deets until late Wednesday or early Thursday (when you’ll get products/colors/UPCs), but I can tell you that you must get your hands on those Wags Beauty booklets. All you need is one or two, so don’t swipe the very limited stash. I can’t speak for every store (I’ve heard some horror stories from you guys), but at Steve’s Wags, one coupon will suffice for each customer; after the final transaction the Wags coupon is surrendered. Obviously my recommendation is to shop at the store where you make the most money with the least grief. (and i think we’re talking quantity pre-orders here, peeps…)
I’ve read that there is supposed to be an Almay MM coming up in a couple of weeks which goes like this: selected Almay cosmetics will be on sale for 30% off together with a $5 RR. 3/06 S has a $2/1 which stacks with the $2/1 in the new Wags Beauty booklet. So pick up any cosmetic $8 or less (before discount) and you’re at about $5. Subtract the $4 in coupons and pay a buck+ and get back $5. I tested the Wags coupon and it does work on the make-up removers; the Almay mfr coupons states on Any Almay Cosmetic Product, so we’re good with that.
I almost ran this today, as our makeup is marked down! I am so grateful I checked in with the Goddess first! You rock!
I LOVE YOU !! I just placed an order with Steve! I LOVE STEVE TOO !! Thanks soooo much – to both of you !!!
How much is everyone preordering? How does Steve handle this? Does he open up a separate lane for us? I was thinking getting 40 or more items. Is this too much or two few?
Nah, I’m hearing from peeps wanting a hundred. Please call Steve as soon as you can (tonight) and discuss this with him. He’ll probably ask everyone to come in on a different day so that entire registers aren’t clogged with couponers! One or two or ten is no problem, but 50 or 100? Yeah, lots of time, especially since these are single purchases, so 100 transactions, in your case. And don’t forget to order the coupons right away so they’re in your hot little hands long before the sale.
I ended up getting 60 since Steve said most people were getting between 40-60. I didn’t want to be too extreme…haha! He was super nice! I can’t wait for this awesome MM!
Thank you SO much! I placed my order with Steve tonight 🙂 And ordered my coupons. Now to find one of those booklets!
Thanks for this! Do you know when this sale is supposed to start? I’d hate to pre-order & then have it be the week I’m out of town.
Almay sale shows up in the March 20-26, 2011 sale ad, so order your coupons now and place your order either tonight by 11 pm or Friday by 2:30 pm. And make sure you get your hot little hands on at least one of the Wags Beauty books. If you don’t see them, ask at cosmetics, because they sometimes keep them under the register cabinet. the sneaks…
NM, found my answer. Steve was SO nice on the phone. I literally hung up & whooped & hollered. I don’t care if Wheaton is an hour from my house, just to deal with someone NICE who LIKES us, I’d drive 3 hours. 🙂
Thank you so much!
our guy is sounding pretty weary already!!
bet he never expected to be this popular…
blessings on the Goddess, Coupon Dede and Steve!!
What she said….got smilies???
Perhaps they should promote Steve to corporate trainer…he could teach all the bohonks the right way to behave so all wags could be MORE friendly….I mean they probably couldn’t keep up w/all the demand but it would be nice if more wags were friendlier towards couponers.
Oh No Please! It would probably be good for Wags sales though!
DARN, I guess I missed out on the preorder. = ( Which Wags does Steve work at?
oops! NM I just found info on the next update. : /
Has anyone had any success at a Walmart near this Wags that accepts RR’s?
