Do you remember which order the cashier scanned the coupons? If the store coupon was done first, that may be the reason why it didn't work. When you use manufacturer's coupons and Walgreens coupons together you want to make sure to hand over the manufacturer's coupons first and then the Walgreens coupons. If you do it in this order, the registers shouldn't beep. Here is why: If you give Walgreens coupons first 3.98 total for 2 Planters -1.00 walgreens coupons =2.98 total -3.00 in manuf. coupons (1.50 x 2) Register won't accept coupons, because they are more than the total of the product. Manufacturer coupons first: 3.98 total for 2 Planters -3.00 in manufacturer coupons (1.50 x 2) = .98 -1.00 Walgreens coupon (they don't act like manufacturer coupons, so they don't have to be the same as the price of the product **If your state doesn't charge sales tax on food you may need a small item to cover the 2 cents overage.

Even though the clerk recognized the product was exactly as stated on the MFCs, she said that sometimes, they run across MFCs which they cannot use in tandem with the store coupon and that this is apparently one of them. I was hoping she'd force it through but no.... So, I left w/o anything. Hope others don't have this problem - it's the first time it's happened to me.
