Is there a list anywhere of which stores accept competitor's pharmacy coupons? I know Kmart still does, but I am not sure who else. Kroger and Target stopped accepting other stores' pharmacy coupons awhile ago.

Thanks.

Stuart

There was one in Sunday's Michael's sales flier and it was for 55 percent off! Maybe waiting was a good thing!

Sue, I'm ISO one of those Michael's 50% off custom framing coupons. Do you know anything about how often they run or when they're more likely to pop up? I had one I'd been saving recently but it expired in late July and I missed it!

Thanks for your hard work, Sue. We sure did miss you, but so glad you were able to take a much needed vacation.

That happens sometimes when we have fewer inserts (they are distributed to newspapers by the insert companies) than we have papers. Unfortunately, there's usually not much that can be done. But you can certainly call circulation at 829-4700.

You might have answered this question before (and if so a pointer would be great), but can you tell me what I should do if my paper is missing one of the coupon inserts? It's not that I want someone to send a copy out to my house or anything, but I would like to alert them.

Thanks!

Did anyone else catch the wording on the second page of today's P&G insert? It said 'welcome to the first quarterly edition of P&G brandSaver Solutions.'

I assume that the 'Solutions' part is what is quarterly, and that the monthly (sometimes bi-monthly) P&G brandSavers will continue??

Good questions....

I do not believe (someone tell me if I'm wrong) that you can stack in that case. I would think the general rule of one item purchased to one coupon redeemed would apply. But I have never tried it myself...

And George, you would need to find a copy of that sales flier/coupon insert from the day it ran in the newspaper. The date published is noted for each coupon. Hopefully you still have Sunday's paper sitting in a recycle bin? Or you can find the Rite Aid coupon online by following the link.

How do I get the coupons for Kroger and Target gift cards with transferred prescription?

Sue,

Thank you very, very much for creating the prescription transfer tracker!!!

Another excellent tool to help save money during the recession!

I have a question. Can you stack prescription coupons?

For example, with a prescription for Bayer Contour diabetic test strips, can you use a new or transferred prescription coupon (receiving a gift card) PLUS a manufacturer's coupon (to reduce the amount of co-pay or full payment)?

Currently, there are three listings in the coupon database found in past RP and SS inserts for the Bayer test strips with different expiration dates.

Should a drug store accept BOTH a coupon for $20.00 off PLUS provide a gift card?

Is stacking allowed here?

Is this an individual store policy issue?

Again, THANKS for ALL you do!!!
