More Walgreens deals!

November 11, 2009 by

The Walgreens deals just keep coming this week! Here’s another “hot” deal:

The Walgreen’s Kleenex Facial Tissue (85 ct) is $1.09 per box with the in ad coupon. Ask at your pharmacy for the November Healthy Savings booklet which includes a $1/1 Kleenex coupon. There was also a .50/3 Kleenex coupon in the 10-4 and 11-1 SS and there is a printable here.

The November Healthy Savings booklet looks like this:

Here’s how this deal works:

Buy 3 boxes of Kleenex facial tissue (85 ct)

Use the $1 Healthy Savings Walgreens coupon (you can just show them your coupon booklet and have them key in the code – you don’t have to give them the actual coupon!) – this will deduct $3

Use the .50/3 manufacturer’s coupon

Use the $1.09 Walgreens in-ad coupon! (give this coupon LAST or this deal won’t work right)

This will result in .23 overage. Make sure you buy something else to cover this overage, or this deal will not work! (the Royal Pudding would be a perfect filler for this – .25 with in ad coupon making your OOP .02!)

Thanks Coupon High!

More Walgreens deals!

November 9, 2009 by

This month it looks like it’s going to be another great month at Walgreens!

Here are some more deals that I found out about yesterday:

NOTE: I haven’t personally tried this deal yet and I haven’t tried any of the deals that involve using more than one Walgreens coupon, but lots of people have and say that it works.

Buy 3 Neosporin Original First Aid Antibiotic Ointment 1 oz – $6.99/each

Use 3 $1/1 manufacturer’s coupons from here
Use the $3/1 Walgreens bonus coupon here – should deduct $9
Use the $2/1 Walgreens coloring book coupon (I found mine by the pharmacy and then are $.99, but have lots of great coupons) – should deduct $6

Pay $2.97 OOP (if you are going to pay with RR, you will need to add a “filler” item for each RR you are using to pay), get an $8 RR

(Thanks Hip2Save)

Buy 2 Trident Layers Gum – $1.49/each

Use BOGO free coupon – 10-18 SS insert
Use the .75/1 printable coupon here
Use the Walgreens printable coupon here (Makes them $.99/each)

You MUST give the manufacturer’s coupons FIRST and then the store coupon. This will result in .26 overage, so you need to have other items that you purchase to cover the overage. There is a good list of filler items in my weekly Walgreens post here.

Ocean Spray cranberry juice (64 oz) is on sale for $1.99. There is a $1 coupon in the Walgreens November coupon booklet (it has a green cover and is usually found near the front of the store). In many areas, there are also reportedly peelies on the bottles of juice for $1/1. (Thanks Moms By Heart!)

Here’s how this works:
Buy 1 Ocean Spray cranberry juice – $1.99

Use $1 peelie coupon
Use $1 coupon from the November coupon booklet (you must give this last!)

This results in .01 overage, so you need to buy other items to cover the overage.

Savings Saturday: Kroger and Walgreens trips

November 8, 2009 by

I have been in a bit of a shopping rut lately, but I managed to get out today to Kroger and Walgreens.

At Walgreens, I had $46 in RR to “roll.” I mainly bought items that we would use. My husband only uses the Gillette deodorant and it hardly ever goes on sale. I would have liked to buy more, but it was hard to find things to roll the $2 PG RR into. I did 8 separate transactions at 3 different stores. My total OOP was $2.36. I still have $24 in RR left to spend. My scenarios for the week are mainly here although I did change some things up based on what was in stock and also because I found out about the BOGO free Almay mascara deal after I made my initial scenarios. (I will send off for the $5 Dulcolax rebate, too, so technically, I will come out $2.64 ahead!

I hadn’t been grocery shopping in two weeks, so this was a major “stock up” trip for me. My total OOP was $57.35. My total before coupons was $221.88, so I saved $164.53 and I earned two $.10 off gas rewards, too. I bought 70 Mega sale items (so $35 was deducted automatically for that). I bought a total of 111 items, so the total cost per item was $.52. There was $7.93 in “non-grocery” items included (laundry detergent and Kleenex). Technically, I’m still over my $40 weekly budget by $9.42, but considering that I didn’t buy groceries last week with the exception of milk, I’m OK with that and I’m still under budget for the month.

Here’s a run down of what I got:

Mega sale items (see coupon match-ups here)
3 All Small & Mighty
2 Banquet Brown ‘N Serve sausage
2 Quaker granola bars
4 Betty Crocker potato pouches
1 Bird’s Eye steamfresh vegetables
2 Bird’s Eye steamfresh meals

6 Keebler cookies
2 Ore Ida hashbrown potatoes
1 Snuggle fabric softener
5 Sunny Delight
2 Cheez It crackers
6 Uncle Ben’s rice
3 Kleenex
1 Kotex
2 Tombstone pizzas
2 Daisy sour cream
1 Ken’s salad dressing
5 Gatorade

Other items:
1 loaf Sara Lee Bread
1 bag Sara Lee mini bagels (free with bread purchase coupon)
4 grapefruit
2 dozen eggs (used BOGO free printable coupon, no longer available)
6 Armour Vienna sausage (used .60/6 coupon from home mailer)
3 lbs grapes
1 gallon milk
12 Campbell’s soups (cream of chicken & cream of mushroom)
6 Kroger chicken broth
2 cans Kroger enchilada sauce
2 lbs bananas
1 bag frozen chicken breasts

Some helpful tips:
*At Walgreens, you cannot do a promotion more than once in a transaction and earn Register Rewards. So, if you buy more than 1 Colgate this week in one tranasction, you can still only earn 1 $1 RR.

*You also cannot use the Register Rewards earned from a promotion on the same promotion and earn Register Rewards again. For example, if you buy Colgate, get a $1 RR and use it to buy another Colgate, another RR will not print.

*Typically, you cannot use the Register Rewards earned from a promotion with the same manufacturer and earn Register Rewards again.

*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. The in ad coupons often have good, inexpensive filler items. (this week, my favorite fillers are the Walgreens spices, the Royal pudding, and the holiday cups)

*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 1-888-8coupon, option 3
*Use the online form to contact them: Contact Catalina Marketing (when I have tried contacting them this way, my results have not been very good….your best bet is to call)
