The poster to whom you responded gave an example where they paid only $15 for the product after coupon, but still want to claim for a $20 purchase. That is different from your example. @:-)
It doesn't matter what the OOP (out of pocket) is in this case, only what the total value of products purchased is. Whether it's $20 or $25 or $60 worth of products BEFORE store or manufacturer's coupons are deducted, the customer has satisfied the purchase requirements of the rebate.
(Also, note that the Walgreens in-store $-off coupons, such as this $5 off $20, require you to have spent the minimum AFTER other in-store, manuf, etc., coupons are applied. Read the fine print on the coupon itself.)
And yeah, the fine print on the coupon says X. But the reality at the cash register is Y. (As in
YMMV.) @:-)

I am now certifiable. Between Safeway and WAGS for the month of November (with one day to go), I've spent ~$150 for ~$1200 worth of groceries, household items and Rxs. (A couple of items had small rebates on them so the OOP will be a tad less. I also have a $15 iTunes card to spend, as well as vouchers for free manicures and pedicures, and an ARCO gas card coming. But I digress.)
Yesterday's WAGS smash and grab: $1.82 oop for $103.13 worth of razors, toothpaste, shampoo, lotion, make-up, Lindt and Altoids. Almost as good a buzz as a mileage run.
Next month: figure out how to turn the proverbial
one red paperclip into AA GCs.
