NOTE: Just found out that the monthly RR deals for March does not include the Sinex. I had read that it was scheduled to run through March 26, but obviously someone, somewhere confused a 2 and a 3. Please, do not order the Sinex coupons, expecting the $10 RR. Now, if you just want to buy Sinex and use the Free Puffs coupons and one $3 RR, then go for it. $2.47 (including tax) is still dirt cheap for three Sinex and three Puffs.
Another note: Steve is not in the store on Sunday. Apparently there are no other stores in the area with MotrinPM (surprise!) and Wags has already gotten five calls (as of this am) from other Wags asking for stock. The two assistant managers have been instructed to not release any large quantities until Monday, when Steve is in. In this case, large quantity is over 20 boxes. This was something of which I was unaware, but frankly, I’m glad this system was put in place. The fact that no other Wags has sufficient stock to cover the demand would mean that most of my readers would get screwed. ain’t gonna happen, peeps … Steve has slightly more than 100 bottles of the Baby Magic lotion and baby wash and will order a sizable amount for Wednesday delivery. Again, if it doesn’t all come in before the end of the week – YOU WILL BE COVERED.
And yet another Note: Just talked to Wags to cancel Sinex order. They have now sold out of all MotrinPM (700 boxes) and all Baby Magic lotion and wash. Right now they are running transactions as if the items were available (hand over coupons, pay, get RR and notice when items come in). Please wait until Monday – when Steve is in – before hitting them up for the Baby Magic, as he has to set up the purchase plan for his staff to use (as he did for the MotrinPM).
Wanted to test out the deal, so to speak, so ran the following: twelve MotrinPM in six transactions: OOP .66. Took those six Motrin RRs and picked up six Baby Magic in six transactions: OOP 1.50. So far, I’m up 12 Motrin and 6 baby wash for $2.16 and still have my six $3 RRs from Baby Magic.
Then something got screwed up (see? I’m honest). I bought three of the Sinex at $7.99 each. This is the shelf price that actually rings up and should trigger the $10 RR for spending more than $20 on Vicks. Also bought three Puffs using the Buy Vicks get free Puffs from 2/27 P&G. Added a pocket tissue (.25) for a filler to cover the $3 Baby Magic RR I used. OOP was $2.47…but no $10 RR printed. I will probably return all the above tomorrow.
If you want to order more MotrinPM coupons, go as hard and heavy as you want; my Wags should be able to cover you. I can’t speak for other Walgreens.
DH picked up 7 orders of the Motrin PM at the Danada Walgreens @ about 9.:30 this morning. He said it was a great experience, and that he has officially taken that store off his blacklist. Thanks for encouraging us to give that store another try!
Excellent news! Now take those RRs and roll them over into the Baby Magic baby wash at a quarter tax a bottle and get six more RRs to use on groceries, or whatevers! If you want to run that in the next day or so, you’ll have to use another Wags – we’ve completed wiped them out of everything! (but don’t ever worry about missing your RRs, hint, hint, hint).
Sounds like you have an amazing store! I was running around this morning like a mad woman and ending up scoring enough to get 28 of the $3 RR for the Motrin. I was glad that I was able to use up all my coupons, b/c from the looks of it there won’t be any available this week (except at your store).
Oh, well…
Hi – Love reading your stuff! Great info and great humor! I know you have probably said which Wags is your store, but I don’t remember. Could you tell (me) again? Would they let someone that has not befriended them like you have, do the pre-pay? I may have to do a road trip your way just to (hopefully) get some of the Motrin! I got 3 at the Morris store – there was zilch at the Minooka store. Called 3 stores in Joliet – nada. HELP?? Thanks!
There should be no problem with your “buying” the product in advance and then waiting for it to come in. We’ve been doing this almost since the store opened in November. The store is located in Wheaton, on Naper Blvd, just north of Butterfield Road. See prior posts for info on the manager, who is still single. and, no, i’m not pimping…until the pay gets better…
I’ve been following your blog, and would like to try to do some transactions for Motrin at this store. I had purchased the coupons, and was not able to obtain the items today. Should I make a phone call to the store on Monday when Steve is there? I’d be happy to do my transactions at a store that is friendly to our needs!!! Could you please advise? Thanks so much!

Steve will be in the store on Monday morning; other days he works the afternoon/evening shift, so always call first. I would definitely special order the MotrinPM from his store, pay with your coupons (whew – good bye!) and .11/transaction and get your RRs. When stock comes in you get a call. beautifully simple, huh? Then why can’t the other stores use common sense?
Thanks so much! I will contact him this morning.
My Chicago stores had plenty…shocker! Except at one point I was beaten to a store by some mad couponer man….so far 72 Motrin PMs…and 108 in RR. I only have 3 coupons left. Coupon Dede does rock and thanks for referring her…my coupons came just in the nick of time.
Would you be able to tell me where this wags is located
