One of our readers just posted on the Facebook wall that she was told that the Avondale Walgreen’s (Penn Green Road & 41) is not ordering any more merchandise because of their pending move. The move is up 41 about a mile or so and scheduled for sometime in May. I don’t know what this means–if they’ll still continue to receive merchandise already scheduled for delivery, and that perhaps they just can’t order for sales? Who knows….in any event, it will mean a lot more “extreme couponer” traffic for the Longwood location for the next month or so.
Keep that in mind for deals that you want to do–some of them may be turning into “Sunday must-do” deals. I am aware of about a dozen supercouponers in this immediate area–and by that I mean the few that I had breakfast with this morning, then another 4-6 people that I regularly run into at the stores. You can always tell a supercouponer by their binder and by the stuff they have in their cart. I usually introduce myself and hand over my blog business card, because we have the same exact items in our carts and the same coupons in our hands.
If you decide to head the other direction for deals and hit Happy Harry’s, here are some things you need to know:
1. They do not necessarily do all the same promos as Walgreen’s. If you receive a Walgreen’s ad at your home, you definitely need to pick up an HH ad when you get there and double check.
2. If the promo is an Register Reward, and NOT in the HH ad, it WILL NOT print. Don’t do it.
3. If you want to use a Walgreen’s coupon that is in an ad from PA, HH will honor it. *But* if it does not scan, and they have to hand-key it in, you need to be careful. For example, you know how the Walgreen’s $2 diaper coupon automatically deducted the $2 from both packs of diapers on a bogo sale? Well, if they have to hand-key it in, that will not happen. And good luck convincing a cashier to hand-key it in for you, when the item is free. You can still use a Walgreen’s coupon + a mfr coupon per item at Happy Harry’s. Just double check that it is the sale price you want, they may differ.
For the most part, I stay away from HH for this reason. Or, go online and put in a Hockessin zip code and check an HH ad on the web before you go. I’ve just been burned too many times with RRs not printing and such.
The good news to all of this is that Grand Openings usually means lots of sales, promos & good deals to be had!
