Hot deal on Walgreens brand diapers!

February 12, 2011 by

If you’ve got little ones, keep your eyes open for the HOT Walgreen’s Infant Care coupon book pictured above because there are some great coupons and they don’t expire until 12/31/11!

The hottest coupon right now is the $2 off W brand diapers jumbo pack.  The Walgreens brand diapers are BOGO free starting tomorrow (2/13), so you can get some pretty cheap diapers!  (Make sure you check out the rest of the Walgreens weekly deals here)

The breakdown looks like this:

Buy 2 Walgreens diapers – $8.99/each

Use $2 W brand diapers coupon (should deduct $4)
-$8.99 (“free” item)

Spend $4.99 OOP for 2 packages of diapers! (that’s just $2.50 per jumbo pack)

I haven’t personally tried these diapers, but for that price, they are worth checking out!

Here are some of the other great coupons you’ll find in the Infant Care coupon book:
-$2/1 Advil Infant or Children’s
-$2 off any Enfamil infant formula powder (you can combine this with formula checks AND manufacturer’s coupons!)
-$2/1 Huggies diapers big pack or wipes (184-216 ct) – the big pack of wipes is often included in Huggies RR deals!
-$2/1 Pampers Cruisers, Swaddlers, or Sensitive diapers (jumbo packs or big packs) – combine this with manufacturer’s coupons and RR deals for awesome savings!
-$2/2 Playtex infant products
-$2 off Similac Advance or Sensitive (you can combine this with formula checks AND manufacturer’s coupons!)
-$2 off Triple Paste Medicated Ointment for diaper rash

NOTE:  You do not have to cut out/surrender these coupons when you use them!  Just have the cashier scan the booklet and give it back or enter the number from the booklet!!

People have reported finding things on the registers at the front, at the beauty counter, in the baby aisle, and by the pharmacy.  If you find one, let us know where you found it!  It also doesn’t hurt to ask at your stores if you can’t find them!

FAQS: (Check out Walgreens new coupon policy here!)

Do you do multiple transactions at one store on one visit?
It just depends. Several stores in my area have gone to a “one RR per item per day” rule, which means I can’t do more than one transaction where I’m earning RR for the same product at the same store. Some of the stores in my area also will not let you use the RR you earn from one transaction on another transaction in that same visit.  I’m fortunate to have several stores within a few minutes of my house, so I usually try to break up transactions at different stores and on different days to stay in the good graces of my stores.

What is Walgreens policy on using BOGO free coupons with a BOGO free offer, adjusting down coupons, etc.? 
The new coupon policy does not really using a BOGO free coupon with a BOGO free promotion, but it does say you can use up to two coupons as long as the total doesn’t go below zero, so, you SHOULD be able to do this!!

Walgreens coupon policy is now to adjust the value of coupons down – YAY!!

Some helpful tips:
*At Walgreens, you can use ONE manufacturer’s coupon and ONE store coupon per item (always give the store coupon last to avoid problems)

*At Walgreens, you cannot do a promotion more than once in a transaction and earn Register Rewards. (for example, if you buy 2 Gillette razors, you will only earn a RR for one)

*You also typically cannot use the Register Rewards earned from a promotion on the same promotion and earn Register Rewards again. For example, if you buy the Gillette razor and use the RR from that to buy more, the RR will not print

*Register Rewards are considered to be “manufacturer’s coupons” and you can only use one manufacturer’s coupon per item. You will have to add “filler” items if you are using a manufacturer’s coupon and a RR. The in ad coupons often have good, inexpensive filler items. (check out the weekly match-ups for ideas)

*If you are using more than one RR in a transaction, always give the RR with the highest value FIRST. Sometimes strange things happen with coupons and taxes and even if you think you have planned out your scenario very well, you will end up with more overage than you planned for.

*If you are buying items that would result in a “free” item or “overage” when combining a store coupon and a manufacturer’s coupon, give the manufacturer’s coupon FIRST, and the store coupons LAST to avoid beeping/issues at the register! Make sure that you are purchasing enough items in your total transaction to “cover” the overage. You will not get cash back and you will have to add items to cover the overage or they will not take the coupon.

*If your Register Reward doesn’t print for some reason and you have fulfilled all of the obligations for the “deal” (including not using RR from the same parent company to pay) DO NOT let them tell you it is because you used coupons! Chances are they didn’t print because the catalina machine is not working. You have two choices: you can return your items and try again or you can contact the catalina company by doing the following:
*The store will give you a form to fill out and mail in to catalina
*Call 1-877-210-1917, option 1
