Walgreens Deals 4/19-4/25

Walgreen's savings system can be a bit tricky. If you are not familiar with how to use their multiple programs in a way that maximizes savings, then check out one of my favorite blogs. They have special sections explaining how the Walgreen's programs work.

I made two trips to Walgreens this week and this is what I bought:

Mitchum Deodorant $2.99, Earn $2 RR, had .75¢ coupons.
1- deodorant $2.99
1- coupon (.75¢)
Earned $2 RR
Total- .24¢ each
(I actually purchased a few of these, but rang them up in separate transactions so that I could get the $2 RR for each deodorant.)

Chapstick Naturals $1.99, Earn $2 RR
1- chapstick $1.99
Earned $2 RR
Total- FREE

Dr. Pepper/Sunkist/7Up/A&W/Ginger Ale 3/$11, Earn $5 RR
3- 12pk sodas $11
Earned $5 RR
Total- $6 or $2 each

Physician's Formula Make-Up 40% off, $10 Rebate on $10 Organics Purchase, had $1 coupons
2-Organics $14
1- (Not Organics) Make-up $3
3- coupons ($3)
Rebate Credit- ($10)
Total- $4 or $1.33 each

Dawn 10.3 oz Dish Soap .99¢, had .25¢ coupons
3- bottles $2.97
3- coupons (.75¢)
Total- $2.27 or .76¢ each


Here are my shopping scenarios:
Transaction 1:
3 pks soda $11
1 coupon $3 off $10 purchase at new Walgreens (grand opening coupon in paper)
Total OOP $8
Earned $5 RR

Transaction 2:
Mitchum $2.99
coupon (.75¢)
Chapstick $1.99
Clearance candy .90¢
RR from soda ($5)
Total OOP- .13¢
Earned $2 Mitchum and $2 Chapstick RRs... $4 RR

Transaction 3:
Mitchum $2.99
coupon (.75¢)
Clearanced easter candy .12¢ (had to add something so that I could use a RR)
RR from chapstick ($2)
Total OOP- .36¢
Earned another $2 RR from Mitchum

Transaction 4:
Chapstick $1.99
Clearance candy .12¢
RR from Mitchum ($2)
Earned $2 RR from Chapstick

Transaction 5:
Mitchum $2.99
coupon (.75¢)
RR from Chapstick ($2)
Total OOP- .24¢
Earned $2 RR from Mitchum

(I have 2 $2 RR left over from the Mitchum purchases. And while I wouldn't have a problem with doing 5 transactions in one day... I actually didn't this time. I actually bought these on two different days.)

Transaction 6:
3 pks of soda $11
1 "Go Green" bag $1
2 Mitchum RRs ($4)
1 "Earth Day" Coupon ($1)
Total OOP- $6
Earned $5 RR from sodas

Transaction 7:
Make-Up $17
coupons ($3)
3 dish soaps $2.97
coupons (.75¢)
2 clearanced binders $2.80
RR from soda ($5)
RR I found in my wallet ($3)
Total OOP $11.03

I used my $18 Rebate Gift Card to pay for Transactions 6 & 7... so I didn't have to pay out of my "cash".

Plus I just added $10 in rebate money to my next rebate gift card.

So... this week took a bit of juggling, but I ended up with a lot of stuff for hardly anything OOP. I've restocked my soda, have some new make-up to try out, and extra deodorant on hand.
