This week at Walgreens has the Aberxin Weight Loss Supplement (30ct) on sale for $10 with $10RR so really FREE! However, when I went there today I found this note on the shelf:
"In this week's ad we are advertising Abrexin Weight Loss Supplement, 30ct. Due to manufacturing issues, the above item [Abrexin Weight Lass Supplement] may not be available. Please substitute Fullfast Appetite Control Spray, 2 oz for $10 with a $10 Register Reward. Limit 1 per customer, while supplies last."
Now the Fullfast Appetite Control Spray did not ring up $10 for me ($19.99) so the manager had to override and the $10 RR printed per notice. The manager said the RR from Abrexin still prints if your store carries it, looks like my store is just out of stock.
Like the deals I'm posting? Head over HERE to "like" my fan page. Thank you for the support!
I went to my local Walgreen's on Monday, January 16th (a day after the Ad broke); They were also Out-of-Stock, but was told that they expected more store stock to come in on Thursday, and they were suppose to save one for me and call me. I did not receive that call, went to the Store in the afternoon to check stock myself, found the same sign about the substitution (not even being close to the same product.... deceptive advertising called bait & switch). I then also checked 3 additional Walgreens Stores in my area, everyone was out of stock and no one expected any additional stock. I went to the Walgreens Website and filed a complaint and received a telephone call the very next morning (today, and surprise, surprise.... someone has mysteriously found this item and it was being saved for me at yet another store. This is NOT the first time I have had this problem with different Walgreens Ad items not being available. It has happened with bottled water, laundry detergent, etc. etc. But GNC stocks this item, and doesn't have any difficulty maintaining it in-stock, but priced at their regular retail price which of course is higher than the $10 price that Walgreen's advertised!
ReplyDeleteUgh I know exactly how you feel! My Walgreens is hit or miss too. Good for you for calling corporate! Oh let me know if those pills work and doesn't make you sick. The spray does NOT work at all, I still get hungry, lol!
