Save an additional 15% during the Walgreens Friends & Family sale!


The Walgreens deals this week were already awesome and it just keeps getting better! I just got an e-mail about a “Friends and Family” day tomorrow (February 12, 2010)! Print the coupon to get 15% off all eligible store items and 20% off all Walgreens and W brand products.

The offer is not valid on prescriptions, cigarettes, dairy products, liquor, phone cards, newspapers, magazines, stamps, and gift cards. You must check out at the photo or cosmetics counter to use this coupon.

UPDATE: I have read on some message boards that the Huggies RR are no longer “rolling.” Also, I read that when you use the 15% off coupon and another Walgreens store coupon, it subtracts 15% from the store coupon (so the Walgreens Huggies activity book coupon will only take $.15 off instead of $1). If that is the case, I don’t recommend using the 15% off coupon with the Three Musketeers!

Here’s my plan using this coupon: (I have already done a few scenarios this week, so I am starting out with a $6 RR from the Dove deal and a $1.50 RR from the Three Musketeers deal)

*For coupon match-ups, check out my weekly deals post

Transaction #1:

Buy 1 Huggies diapers – $8.99
Buy 4 Three Musketeers – $.49/each (with in ad coupon)

Use 15% Friends & Family coupon (I don’t know if this will deduct from the price before coupons or not….I’m going to try giving it first and assuming $1.64 will be deducted)
Use $2 Huggies printable Use $1 Walgreens Huggies Activity Book coupon Use $.49 in ad coupon for the Three Musketeers Use $6 RR from Dove
Spend $.31 OOP, earn a $3 RR (Huggies) and a $1.50 RR (Three Musketeers)

Transaction #2:
Buy 1 Dove men’s bodywash – $5.99
Buy 1 Quilted Northern bath tissue – $3.50 (these are listed at $3.99 in the ad, but my store had a special flier listing the price as 2/$7)
Buy 3 Disney coloring/activity books – $.33/each (w/ in ad coupon)

Use 15% Friends and Family coupon (I’m assuming it will deduct $1.57) Use $1.50 Dove printable Use 2 $1.50 Three Musketeers RR Use $3 Huggies RR Use $1 Quilted Northern coupon
Spend $.41 OOP, get a $6 RR

**I will continue to repeat these scenarios at different stores (I don’t recommend doing more than 2 scenarios at one store in one trip)

You could also add this in as your second transaction:

Buy 1 Gillette Fusion razor – $8.99
Buy 1 Children’s activity book – $.33 (w/ in ad coupon)

Use 15% Walgreens Friends & Family coupon (I’m assuming it will deduct $1.40) Use $4 Gillette Fusion coupon Use Walgreens in ad coupon for the coloring book Use $3 Huggies RR
Spend $.92 OOP, get a $4 RR

or, if you just want to “roll” your Huggies RR, you could do this:

Buy 1 Huggies diapers – $8.99
Buy 1 Children’s activity book – $.33 (w/ in ad coupon)

Use 15% Walgreens Friends & Family coupon (assuming it will deduct $1.40) Use $2 Huggies coupon Use $1 Walgreens Activity book coupon for Huggies Use $3 Huggies RR
Spend $1.92 OOP, get a $3 RR

More Target deals!

As the week goes on, there are always more great Target finds that pop up on message boards and blogs and I love it!

Be sure to check out my weekly deals post for a full list of deals and match-ups.

Here are some new deals that have popped up:

The Buy 5 Quaker products, get a $5 gift card has gotten even better! The Quaker Easy Express Oatmeal is priced at $1.02 and is part of this offer! To make things even sweeter, the $1/1 Quaker oatmeal printable coupon (Click on “Get Started”) does not have any size restrictions! Reportedly, the Golden Brown Sugar and Baked Apple are the only varieties working for this deal (scan them first to check the price and to make sure they are part of the gift card offer).

Here’s how this deal works:
Buy 5 Quaker Easy Express Oatmeal – $1.02 each (only the Golden Brown Sugar/Baked Apple work)
Use 5 $1/1 printable coupons (you will need 3 computers to get this many)

Spend $.10 OOP, get a $5 gift card!

(Thanks Who Said Nothing in Life is Free!)

There is also an unadvertised gift card deal on Olay Bodywash that pairs of nicely with the Venus Embrace razor deal!
This week, the Venus Embrace razors are priced at $6.99. There was a $2 off coupon in the 2-7 P&G insert. There was also a coupon for a free Olay body wash when you buy any Venus Embrace razor. The 1-17 P&G insert had a $1/1 Olay body wash coupon. Some people who signed up for Target Mobile also got a $2 coupon.
Here’s the best way to work these deals:

Buy 2 Venus Embrace razors – $6.99/each
Buy 3 Olay Total Effects body wash – $5.49/each

Use 2 $2 Venus razor coupons Use 2 Buy Venus, get Olay Body wash free coupons Use $1/1 Olay Body wash coupon

Total OOP = $14.47 ($12.47 if you have the Target mobile coupon), get 2 $5 Target gift cards (if you already have Target gift cards on hand, you can “roll” them into this deal!)
Final price = $4.47 after coupons and gift cards!
Here’s another scenario:
Buy 3 Venus Embrace razors – $6.99/each
Buy 1 Gillette Fusion razor – $6.99/each
Buy 3 Olay Total Effects Body Wash – $5.49
Use 3 $2 Venus coupons Use $4 Gillette Fusion coupon Use 3 Buy Venus, Get Olay Body wash free coupons

Spend $17.96 OOP ($15.95 if you have the Target mobile coupon), get 3 $5 Target gift cards (if you already have Target gift cards on hand, you can “roll” them into this deal!)

(Thanks Totally Target!)

People are reporting that the Scrabble Carabiner Mini Game is on clearance for $1.98. These have been found in the clearance section on the end caps and also with the card games and mini games. The $4/1 Scrabble Game printable does not have any size restrictions, so you can get it for free (and possibly get overage – make sure you have something to cover the overage) if it is clearanced at your store!

(Thanks Totally Target!)

It’s an awesome week at Walgreens!

There are some GREAT things happening at Walgreens this week! Be sure to check out my weekly deals post which includes my coupon match-ups and scenarios.

Here are a few additional things:

*The Huggies RR is “rolling” into itself! Typically, if you use a RR that you earned from a promotion on the same promotion, you will not get another RR, but that is not the case with the Huggies deal this week. If you need to stock up on diapers, this is AWESOME news! I was able to make a quick trip today and I got two packages of diapers.

*The Gillette razors are also “rolling” which means you can buy a Gillette razor and use the RR that you earn to buy another razor! (Just a note: the razors are in the weekly ads through the end of the month and there will be a P&G rebate starting on 2/21 where you can earn a free coupon book when you submit $50 in receipts, so you may want to save some of your coupons for later in the month!)

*If you’re looking for “filler items” and want to earn RR in the process, there’s a great unadvertised deal on Three Musketeers candy! Buy 3, get a $1 RR. Buy 4, get a $1.50 RR. There is a coupon in the weekly ad where you can get them for $.49/each. There are new “truffle” Three Musketeers at the register. The cashiers receive an incentive for upselling these items. Please keep in mind that there are also promotional Milky Ways at the register, but these DO NOT produce the RR. There are also some reports that the “truffle” Three Musketeers are not working with the $.49 in ad coupon.


*The Orbit Gum 3 packs are 2/$3 this week. There is a $1 Orbit printable on coupons.com. Use this coupon and the get 3 packs for $.50/each! (Thanks AFC!)

*If you need to stock up on juice, you can get Ocean Spray for just $1 each! Print off the $1/1 Ocean Spray 64 ounce juice coupon (make sure you use the back button on your browser to print 2). Then, pick up a copy of the Walgreens February coupon booklet (these are usually on the display with the ads just inside the store entrace). There is a Walgreens coupon for $.50/1 Ocean Spray juice. The juice is on sale for $2.50 this week, so it’s $1/each when you use both coupons! (Thanks Give Me Neither!)
