Walgreens Deals This Week

There are a few good deals at Walgreens this week. Here is what I found:

Garnier Fructis - FREE
Sale $2.99 - $2.00 Easy Saver Coupon - $1.00 MQ

Electrasol Gelpacks - $0.51 Money Maker
Sale $3.49 - $2.50 MQ
Easy Saver Rebate $1.50

Combine the Bayer Register Reward deal with the rebate to make money on a combination of these products:

  • Aleve $8.00
  • Bayer $5.00
  • One-A-Day $5.00 or $7.00
  • Citracal $9.00
  • Aleve-D Sinus $5.00
  • Alka Seltzer Plus $5.00
  • Phillips $3.00

When you buy $20 of the above products, you will get a register reward for $10.00 off your next purchase. See page 10-11 in the Walgreens sales paper for the exact items that are participating. Some Walgreens will allow the $20 to be the price before coupons and some want it to be after coupons. Pretty much all of these products had coupons in the Sunday paper this week. Along with the coupons there was a Special 1/2 Price Offer rebate form in this week's Sunday paper. Check the rebate to make sure you buy participating products from the above list. You want to select items that total as close to $20 as you can get. Remember that you need to purchase at least $20 worth of items to get the register reward.

When you make your purchase, you will spend $20 (possibly less). You will also get a $10 register reward good for your next purchase, make your net cost $10 (or less). You can now submit the rebate to get half of the price you paid after coupons back (up to $10). Once you get your rebate check your net cost is $0.00 or possibly a money maker. Here is what I purchased:

  • One-A-Day Vitamins $7.00 ($1.00 MQ) = $6.00
  • Bayer Aspirin $5.00 ($1.00 MQ) = $4.00
  • Aleve $8.00 ($1.00 MQ) = $7.00
  • Total Out of Pocket = $17.00 + tax
  • Received $10.00 register reward
  • Rebate Due $8.50 (half of $17.00)
  • Net Cost = $1.50 Money Maker (less taxes paid)

Note: MQ = Manufacturer Coupon. All the coupons I listed in these scenarios can be found in this week's Sunday paper.

Walgreens $5 off $20 Coupon


Walgreens has a coupon for $5.00 off your $20.00 or more purchase good Friday November 14 and Saturday November 15 only. You can get your coupon here. I'm not sure if I'll be using this one of not. Tonight I'll try to look through their sale paper, but if I remember correctly, there wasn't that much exciting to me in their sale paper this week.
What about you? Will you be taking advantage of this coupon? It's a great deal if they have something you need. Or maybe you could use this on the Entertainment book.

Walgreens Yesterday


Here is everything I picked up at Walgreens yesterday. As you can probably tell, we love the Lysol Neutra Air spayer. I was so excited to see the deal on these because the one I have is just about empty. I did save one of my coupons for this weekend. That way I can hit the double dips and make money buying one. I love it when I can make money buying a product I love.
I also wanted to note that I had a great experience at my Walgreens yesterday. When the candy I picked up rang up I noticed that it wasn't on sale. The cashier called the manager over who noticed that I had picked up the snack size instead of the fun size. She went over and got the correct packages for me and did an exchange on the candy. She was great and I really appreciate the wonderful customer service I typically get at that Walgreens.
Here are the details of my transaction:
  • Lysol Neutra Air $23.96 ($5.99 * 4)
  • Fusion Power Razor $8.99
  • Candy $10.00 ($2.50 * 4)
  • Alkaseltzer Cold $4.99

Sunday Shopping

On our shopping trip Sunday we decided to hit Rite Aid first since this is a crazy freebate week there. When we got to Rite Aid there weren't any cars on the parking lot so I was wondering if they were even open. They were though and we were able to get in and get our freebates.

My total profit for the day's shopping was $3.13. I'm pretty happy with that. Now I need to go put away all my purchases and fill out rebate forms.

How did you do with your shopping this week?

There are other coupons in the link above for some more good deals at Walgreens through Saturday on Pledge and Windex. Check them out.

This would have been an even better deal if I had been able to pay with my gift card rebate from last month. However I still haven't gotten it. It was mailed a few days ago so I hope to receive it soon. I had to get a new gift card this month because my old one wouldn't swipe anymore and some of the cashiers had serious difficulty typing in the gift card.

Free Lindt Chocolate at Walgreens

Money Saving Mom has a post on how you can get free Lindt chocolate at Walgreens this month. Check out her post here for the details.

She also suggested freezing the choclate and using it in gift baskets for the holidays if you'va already got a lot of chocolate on hand. I love that idea and will definitely be freezing some of mine. Of course I will have to hide it in the freezer so my husband doesn't find it.

Shopping the Deals


I am really starting to love CVS. Today I hit three different CVS stores and picked up most of the items in this picture. Three of the items were picked up at Walmart yesterday. I purchased everything in this picture for a grand total of $2.64.

I am having so much fun with putting together deals. I love to take at least one night a week and put together my shopping list and pull my coupons for shopping. I think it's just so worth it when you take the time to plan out your shopping. You do have to be flexible though because you never know when they're going to be out of something that is on your list or you'll see something that is also a good deal.

I had been debating using the Walgreens $5 off of $20 coupon that's good tomorrow (Friday, June 13th). So I decided to sit down and write up my shopping list to see if it would be worth making a stop. My gift card from the May rebate came in today so I have some free money begging to be spent. I finally came up with two alternative lists to maximize my savings with the coupon. Now I just have to hope that they have everything that I want when I get there tomorrow. At least I have two scenarios to choose from.

Do you take the time to plan out your shopping trips and pull your coupons? If you do, do you find that this works well for you?

Frugal Friday

Last night was a pretty good night for us. I had my husband go use a $10 off of $30 coupon at Walgreens. Here is what he got:

2 WAG Formula $13.99 + $6.99 (They were buy 1 get 1 50% off)
2 SAMY Shampoo/Conditioner $11.00
Subtotal $31.98
$10 on $30 coupon
Total after sales tax $22.04
We also got a $5 register reward to use on our next purchase. Not bad for two containers of formula that we needed. The shampoo was just a bonus for me.

Our second stop of the night was at Safeway. They had some really good specials listed in their paper. Of course they didn't have any of them in stock and don't even carry some of the items. It was so bad there that I will never go to that Safeway again and I will be contacting their corporate offices about the experience.

The final stop for the evening was at Weis. I find this to be a much more pleasant store and with better prices in general. This is where we do the bulk of our grocery shopping. We didn't pick up much last night, but I did want to take advantage of their $2 off of milk deal when you buy 2 12 packs of Pop Tarts. Their milk was already on sale for $2.49 so we got a gallon of milk for $0.49 after buying the Pop Tarts which were on sale for 2 for $5.00. I think it's a great deal and it's even sweeter if you have coupons for pop tarts. Even if you don't do the pop tart deal, $2.49 for a gallon of milk is great.

Walgreens $10 off $30 Coupon

For today only Walgreens has a $10 off your $30 purchase coupon available on their website. You can print it off here and take it to your local Walgreens to use it.

I stopped at my Walgreens this morning where I purchased the following:

2 Walgreens tampons $9.98 ($4.99 * 2)
1 Perfect tampons $6.99
2 Samy shampoo $11.00
1 Pepsi 2 liter $1.00
1 Pepsi 20 oz $1.39

Subtotal $30.36
After coupon $20.36
Total Out of Pocket $20.57

I chose the tampons because they qualify for a $10 rebate in the June Easy Saver catalog. I chose the shampoo because it gave me $5 in register rewards for my next purchase. The pepsi was just a filler to get me to $30.

My suggestion if you're going to use this coupon is to use it to buy items that you can get a rebate or register rewards on, or you can combine it with manufacturer coupons to get your total down even further. Last week they had a $5 off your $20 purchase coupon that I used. In that case I was able to get my total out of pocket down to $8 by using multiple coupons and my husband's went down to $7. I know I could have done better this week too, I just didn't have time to go through my coupons this morning.
