This is an unbelievable new development. CASH BACK??? I can take a $10 RR from Walgreens and buy a pack of gum at Walmart and get the money back??? I predict that won't last long.

But the exciting part is that you can do your money making deals at Walgreens and go use the RRs at Walmart.

This is hot news for people who need to save money.

This is good news. However, I wouldn't count on the majority of Walmart clerks being informed of or understanding the policy changes any time soon.

are Wags RR’s classified as ‘Manufacturer Coupons’?

I didn’t think that RR’s were considered manufacturer’s coupons.

It seems to me that this is about the Catalina’s that print out for a specific item. Say, if I buy a Lipton rice side dish, I might get a catalina for a competitor’s similar product, like Uncle Ben’s rice, which is a manufacturer’s coupon, and that could be used at any store.

But to use Walgreen’s RR’s at another store? Really?

I have taken my RR from Wags and used them at Jewel grocery stores. No cash back, but amount taken off total purchase just like any other coupon. The RR say “Manufacturer coupon” on them and act just like any other coupon.

I'm not shopping at Wal Mart until it is unionized.

It's for the children.

If you can find a manufacturer's coupon for $10 off a pack of gum, yes. The Walmart policy has several limitations. It's good, but they've put in limitations that will prevent people from doing something like taking in a thousand dollars worth of coupons and walking out with $5 worth of merchandise and $995 in cash.

Simply, they won't allow competitor "$2 off" coupons, but only coupons that offer a specific item for a specific price. If Walgreens has soap for $5.99 with a $2 off coupon, Walmart won't take it. If Walgreen's has a specific soap for $2.99, Walmart will take it. This prevents other stores from jacking up the price by $2 and then trying to move products with a $2 off coupon.

Coupons must have a scannable bar code, a valid remit address, expiration date and be for a specific item. Also no buy one get one free or double or triple value coupons.

I wonder how long until they 'catch' this one...
