I had a really nice trip to Walgreens today! I got everything on my list, but I did run into some problems at the register. My second Splenda coupon beeped and it was entered manually. That manual entry seemed to set off a chain of events that ended with the register refusing the store coupon on the Splenda, although if you give the store coupon last it will normally adjust itself if necessary to make an item free (if it would otherwise give you overage.) Anyways, I luckily had some nice (and calm) Walgreens employees and they just ended up entering the store coupon for the full value of $8 (four items times $2 each item) and came out even better than expected. If you’re planning on buying multiples of the Splenda, I recommend splitting them up into one per transaction.
