she asked in a quavering voice…Seriously, I am Huggied out right now.  Corporate sent a memo to the stores around noon that they would be ending this $2 promo.  Since it’s still running (I just picked up another 4 or 5 (who counts?) cases, my guess is they’ll end it during Catalina Marketing’s evening maintenance and updating (sometime between 11 and 2 am).

However, the Visine deal is just plain weird.  We tested all the varieties by ones and by twos and they all printed out RRs ($1 and $2).  I then purchased two original Visine and two Cortaid – I used two $2 Visine coupons and two $3 Cortaid coupons.  One of the coupons has to be marked down a penny.  Paid 17¢ tax and got a $2 RR.

Next transaction was identical with two Visine and two Cortaid.  Paid 17¢ but no cat printed.  Tried it again (thinking there was just a hiccup in the system), but nothing.  Tried it without coupons and it printed.  So honestly, I have NO idea why it’s sporadic.  Using coupons on sale and Register Reward items is standard operating procedure, one Walgreens prints in the ads, so what’s up?  Don’t know.  If you are looking for some FREE Visine (high tax), then run it without getting a Register Reward.  If you do get an RR, run over and pick up a lottery ticket.

On a separate note, Lisle Wags has all their Skippy peanut butter on clearance (in the regular shelf spot) for $2.39.  No coupons, but a very decent price (note the “regular” price of $4.79!)
