Spent ONLY $.07 out of pocket! Used $10 in RR’s but got back $8 in RR’s!
I’d heard recently that the Save $2 (or $4) on any 3 (or 6) Trident, Dentyne or Stride gum 3-pack bags, OR on any 3 bottles of Dentyne or Trident gum, OR on any 3 bags of Swedish Fish, Sour Patch (8 oz. or larger), or Halls coupons from the 8/8 SS insert worked on the single packs (18 ct.) of Trident gum this week at Walgreens. They are on sale for only $.50 each this week with the in-store Walgreens coupon in the September coupon booklet (found at the front of the store). I was a little hesitant to see if the Trident mfg. coupon would work on the single packs of Trident gum because of the wording on the coupon, but I thought I’d try it and see if it works.
As I was checking out, I asked the cashier about the coupon and she said that if the coupon scans, then they’ll take it! AND, I was so happy that the coupons worked without beeping! I’m guessing these coupons DO include the single packs of Trident gum (it’s all about the commas in the wording!)!? As you know, normally coupons at Walgreens are VERY picky and beep for just about everything (it seems) so I figured if the coupons beeped, I would just pass on the gum. But they went through with NO beeps! Yay! If you do buy the gum, I’d recommend buying 1 or 2 extra packs than what your mfg. coupons state just to cover the overage…just in case!
