Some day I'll be back to my old self on this blog! In the meantime if you're doing the Chex mix deal this week at Walgreens, you can make it a little better than advertised. Here's the deal:

Buy 3 Chex Mix $1ea = $3
Use (3) $ .50/1 IP (Coupons.com)
OOP $1.50
get $1 RR

OR you can do this deal which is not advertised

Buy 5 Chex Mix $1 ea = $5
Use (5) $ .50/1 IP (coupons.com)
OOP $2.50
get $3 RR

You will need 3 computers to print 5 coupons for the second deal, but I have confirmed that it does work--YAY I love free...doesn't happen much any more.

Walgreens Cottonelle Deal Coupon Clarification

You've probably all seen or heard about the Cottonelle deal at Walgeens already, but I just wanted to clarify something about the IP Cottonelle coupon. Here's the deal just in case you don't already know about it:

Cottonelle Toilet Paper $5 (regular price at Walgreens)
use $1/1 IP here
use $1/1 IVC from Walgreens July coupon book
OOP $3

I think this is a good deal and I was actually going to do the deal with the $.50/1 SS 7/6/12 coupon before I saw this IP today.

Here's what I wanted to explain about this particular type of printable coupon in case you're not familiar with this type of IP. This coupon prints like a PDF in other words if you stay on the print page and keep clicking print you can print many of these coupons, however all the coupons you print will have the same security code in the upper right hand corner and technically count as "copies" so the store will NOT be reimbursed for them. You can legitimately print 2 coupons from each computer, but after you print the first time you need to close the print page and go back to the original page and choose the coupon again. You will know if you did this correctly because the security code in the upper right hand corner will be different on each coupon. PLEASE be honest and only use coupons with different security codes it is dishonest to do otherwise and I know that we do not want to hurt the stores or the manufactureres who give us such great deals.

 
Don't miss the Walgreens Friends and Family event TODAY only! 15% off your purchase and 20% off "W" brand items. I've been buying the Tampax and the Glade this week, using the $2 coupon that you can find inside the Tampax box when you buy your first one and the $1.25/Glade coupon from here. I went to a few stores and they all had plenty of stock. I'm most excited about this deal because W brand diapers are on sale this week 2/$10 so with the 20% off it makes them $4 a package which is a great price. I actually prefer the W brand diapers to most brand name diapers.

Remember to give your Friends and Family coupon before you start the transaction.

Walgreens Cottonelle RR Deal

There's a new RR deal that starts at Walgreens today and runs through 10/20/11. Here's the deal:

Buy 2 Cottonelle 12 packs $5 each (regular price)
Use the $1/1 Walgreens Cottonelle coupon found in the October Coupon Booklet (Will deducts $2)
Use 2 $0.75/1 coupons found in the 9/11 SS (Exp.10/23!)
Or use the $0.50/1 coupon found here [coupons.com] or in the 10/2 SS
Pay as low as $6.50
Get back a $3 RR (for buying 2 packages – valid through 10/30)

Purchase ONLY the PURPLE packages it does NOT work on the blue packages. Also give the manufacturer coupon FIRST and then the October Coupon Booklet coupon. If done in reverse order the booklet coupon will beep. The good news is that right on the front of the Walgreens ad they promote using the Cottonelle coupon from the booklet with the Newspaper coupon so you shouldn't have any trouble using both.

A couple of notes, if you're doing the Dove it's so silly the way they ring, so be sure to give the treatments 1st because the coupon is for free treatment and you want those to ring with the higher price. Also on the nail polish, if you have the Manu. coupon from yesterday's paper some dove polishes cause the coupon to beep and some do not, mine did not beep and I bought the scented revlon with the UPC # on the cap NOT on the bottom of bottle. I only had time for 1 store and they were out of the floss which I'm going to look for later.

Happy Shopping!

I'm FINALLY Back. Still trying to get back into the game, but here are a few goodies I just found.

Take the Ore-Ida "Snack Simple Pledge," and they'll donate $1 to Boys and Girls Club and give you a $1 Bagel Bites coupon.

I just tried these Birds Eye Voila Skillet meals, and the one we tried (Garlic Chicken) was pretty good. They're on sale this week at Smith's for $3.28. If you "Like" them on facebook, you can spin the wheel for a $1 or $2 Coupon.

Trough Saturday June 25th you can get a free 4.5 X 6 Brag Book from Walgreens. Just click here to get started and enter code BRAG at checkout. Shipping should be around $2.99

Walgreens 5/23

Whoa! The deals have been few and far between! Every time I'm going to post a really good coupon it's gone. Anyway, there are some decent deals at Walgreens this week. My favorite is the Advil/Thermacare $5 RR deal. There are a couple ways you can do it, but I don't really use Thermacare so the best deal for me has been just the Advil, here's what I did:

2 Advil 50 ct. caplets $4.99ea
use $4/2 Thermacare or Advil 5/22/11 SS
$5 Gillette Fusion RR
OOP $.98 + tax
get $5 RR

For some reason this coupon beeps on both the caplets or the gel caps. I've done it 3 times at 3 different stores and they all pushed it through. The only exclusion is trial size and the coupon reads Advil OR Thermacare. Anyway, just know it will beep. There's also an IP here for $5 off when you buy Thermacare AND Advil just be sure not to buy the Thermacare bonus packs or you will not get the RR., and a $2 off Advil IP here, but if you've printed it a while back, it has not reset. If you buy the Tone bodywash I've started refilling my hand soap with body wash, it's much cheaper(usually free at Walgreens!) than buying more handsoap.

Great Deal on Mitchum

Mom, this deal is for you because I know this is your favorite deo.! You can get Mitchum deodorant at both CVS and Walgreens for $.99.

Mitchum Deodorant $1.99 (both CVS and Walgreens)
use$1 off Mitchum Deodorant IP (Coupons.com)

Walgreens, Better Late than Never!

Here are a couple of good deals this week at Walgreens.

This is a monthly deal, if you can find it still stocked in your store. It's 14.99 get a $10 RR, BUT
if you can find these in your pharmacy
there is a $10 off coupon so it's a $6.01 moneymaker. If you don't see these in your pharmacy, ask them if they have any. When I asked a couple weeks ago, they pulled out a huge box of them from under the counter.

This is also a monthly deal pay $5.99 get a $6 RR. There was a coupon from their website that did not work and the coupon in the box does not work, BUT they have now fixed the $2 off coupon on their site and it makes for a nice little $2.01 moneymaker.

If you are in need of diapers or a baby gift, the W brand diapers are B1G1 free $8.99, BUT if you can find this little booklet, there is a Walgreens coupon for $2 off which will take $2 off both bags of diapers.

So, $4.99 for 2 bags of diapers. I used these when Sof was a baby, and I liked them better than the name brand diapers. Remember the coupon is a Walgreens coupon so you do not need to tear it out, they can just scan it or enter the code.

All the valentine stuff was 50% off in my stores today, so grab a couple of pencils or bags if you need a cheap filler.

Walgreens1/3/11

Sorry for the lack of posts, but there really hasn't been anything noteworthy since Christmas besides the regular after Christmas mark downs.

Here's my Walgreens purchases so far this week. Good Luck finding the Finish if you got the coupons. 3 of the 4 stores I went to were completely wiped out, and the last store only had 3 which I bought. Hopefully they'll restock because I have more coupons. Also on the Ociillococcinum, if you have either the coupon from the January 2010 RP or the printable from their website, it will beep. The coupons are coded incorrectly even though they are totally legit coupons. I personally didn't feel like messing with it and my transaction amounts worked out just fine so I skipped the coupon on that deal. My favorite deal is the Omega 3 open the box and you'll find a $3 off coupon--yipee!!! Here's what I did:

Omega 3 $10
used $10 Vicks RR
OOP tax
got $10 RR

Transaction #2
Oscillococinum $8.99
Finish $3.49
used $2.25 Finsish 1/2/11 SS
$10 RR
OOP $.23 + tax
got $9 RR, $1.50 RR

Transaction #3
Omega 3 $10
Finish $3.49
7-Up $1.99
used
$3 Omega from box
$2.25 Finish 1/2/11 SS
$1.00In ad coupon 7-up
$9 RR
OOP $.23 + tax
got $10 RR, $1.50 RR

Transaction #4
2 Biore Steam Activated Cleanser $4.19ea (clearance)
Pill Glide Swallowing Gel $5
used
(2) $2 Biore 10/10/11 SS or coupons.com
$9 RR
OOP $.38 + tax
got $5 RR, $5 RR

I did transaction 1 twice and 2 twice

A couple more notes, the Omega 3 may be hard to find at 1 store I asked the Inventory guy and he hadn't put it out yet so he got me one out of the back, at another store it was with the vitamins but no sale tag. Others have reported finding it on an end cap because it is a new product. Also, the Biore and Pill Glide RR were not tagged in any of my stores. The pill glide can be found by the pharmacy where they have thermometers and pill boxes. I only found it at one store. My favorite filler item this week is the mechanical pencils for $.19 w/in ad coupon. Also, keep your eyes peeled for Nivea for Men displays with coupons, none at my stores yet.


Here's a picture of the Pill Glide so you know what you're looking for.



Happy Shopping!

Latest Walgreens Update

Okay, so it appears that after the mess that Walgreens created on Saturday has finally been resolved. They have their computers now programmed properly so that Super Jingle Cash prints if you hit $25, $50, $75 or $100 AFTER Walgreens coupons and discounts but BEFORE Manufacturer coupons. Also, if you want to use your SJC from last week to get more SJC this week, you need to know that the SJC is a Walgreens coupon while your regular Jingle Cash (RR) are Manufacturer coupons. So if I buy $25 worth of stuff after in ad coupons and want to use $5 SJC, I will need to add $5 more stuff to get another $5 SJC, however if I have $25 worth of stuff and I just want to use regular JC(RR) I will still get the $5 SJC. Seems a little confusing but if you just remember that SJC is Walgreens coupon and JC is Manu. coupon you'll be fine. Also, it appears that the nail polish is a monthly deal, so you can get more nail polish--yay!

One deal that I plan to do is the Hallmark Money Card Deal. Here's the deal

Buy 6 Hallmark Money Cards $.99 ea.
use in ad IVC 3/$2
OOP $4
get $5 RR

Some people were reporting that the ivc was not programmed into the computer but had stores had no problem adjusting for the coupons. Hopefully by tomorrow the computers will be programmed properly.
