I loaded up on a bunch of clearance items this week. I'm still not finished with my shopping. I absolutely love the Dry Idea Clinical Strength. I've been waiting for it to go back on sale & now that it is... I plan on getting all that I can.
Here is what I bought so far:
3M Command Hooks, clearanced .90¢
9- hooks = $8.10

Total OOP = (.90¢) or FREE + Money Maker

Women's Garden Gloves, clearanced $1.09
Knee Highs, clearanced .20¢... rang up B1G1

WAGs
This morning I decided to stop by and officially introduce myself to my local Walgreens manager. I've spoken with him a couple of times on the phone and thought that I should put a face with the voice... especially since I wanted to inquire about getting a deeper discount on some items for charity.
I explained to him that I am donating a lot of the items that I purchase. I told him about a couple of charities that my church supports & how our VBS kids will be working on service projects each night. Since all "official" donations must go through WAGs district office... I asked about the turn around on such requests. (2-4 weeks) He was kind enough to retrieve the district FAX number for me, but stopped short when it came to offering the employee discount on items to be donated. (Hey... it never hurts to ask.)
All and all, I enjoyed speaking with him and he seemed very impressed with teaching the kids to be charitable and help others.
If you choose to donate some of your coupon deals... I highly recommend mentioning that fact to your regular cashier or manager. I think it sheds a new light on "couponers" and makes the cashier feel good about customers stock-piling various items.

Walgreens
Go to the pharmacy counter and ask for their WAG coupon flier. It's full of coupons for various WAG brand items.
I used the $2 off diapers, wipes, & training pants last week.
The training pants were B1G1 @ $9 - $4 from WAG coupon = 2 Pack for $5!

I'm also going to pick up more Dr. Pepper. I just didn't feel like carrying it all tonight. (Plus I can roll the Listerine & Dr. Pepper RRs back and forth... if I want.

Walgreens Deals 4/26-5/2
My Walgreens was out of several things that I wanted... so I had to modify a bit. I messed up on one transaction, but plan on returning my item and then re-purchasing it correctly.
Here is what I bought:
Nivea BodyWash $4.99... Earn $5 RR
3- washes = $15
3- manf. coupons = ($3)
Total OOP = $12
Earned RR = ($15)
Made $3 off of the deal!
Bic Soleil Razor & Refill Pack $6.99 B1G1
1- razor = $7
1- refill = $0
2- coupons = ($4)
Total OOP = $3 or $1.50 each
Ecotrin $2... Earn $2 RR
2- bottles = $4
2- manf. coupons = ($4)
Total OOP = $0
Earned RR = ($4)
Made $4 off of the deal!
Got 2 Be Hair Products (Bonus Packs!) $10 for 2... Earn $5 on two.
4- products = $20
4- coupons = ($8)
Total OOP = $12
Earned RR = ($10)
Total = 2 for $1
Remembrandt Toothpaste $5.99... Earn $6 RR
Band-Aid & Benadryle Cream... Buy $10 worth, get $4 RR
2- band-aids = $6
1- cream = $4
3- coupons = ($3)
Total OOP = $7
Earned RR = ($4)
Total = $3 or $1 each
Energizer AA 2pk Batteries $1.09 on clearance.
2- packs = $2.20
2- coupons = ($2)
Total OOP = .20¢ or 10¢ each!
Pocket Packs of Facial Tissue .07¢ on clearance.
Banana Boat SPF50 Sunscreen $2.79 on clearance.
Things they were out of, but I will get ahold of one way or another:
Schick Trimstyle Razor $8.99... Earn $3 RR
3- razors = $27
3- coupons = ($12)
Total OOP = $15
Earn RR = ($9)
Total = $6 or $2 each
Bayer 4pk Crystals $2.50... Earn $2.50 RR
AirWick I-Motion Freshner $4.99
1- freshner = $5
1- coupon = ($4)
Total OOP = $1
They had the AirWick Luminus in stock, but I decided not to get it. I have a coupon which would make it only $2, but it must be plugged into an outlet and I do not like that. I have a couple of the Glade Flameless candles and they run off of batteries. I like those better.
Due to the incredibly annoying nature of the RR program... I rand these items up in six different transactions. I had to make adjustments to my "game plan" due to the out of stock items. WAG is typically a one hour stop for me... but the deals are great!
Oh... and I did not use a dime of my cash to pay for these items. I had a $5 WAG coupon that I received in the mail and I had $22 on a rebate gift card. I still have some money left on my gift card and I have a $5 RR left over.
Not bad.

Walgreens Clearance Items
I purchased several clearanced meds this afternoon. They were all awesome deals.
The Excedrin Migraine 100ct was $2.39 & it printed out a $2 off Excedrin 100 ct RR!
So I grabbed another bottle for .39¢ and guess what printed out? Another $2 off Excedrin RR.
I don't think I can use a bunch of Excedrin, so I may just leave the coupon on the shelf the next time I go in. Or just purchase it to give away. Dude... it's only 39 cents!
I also picked up these items. The prices are approximate b/c I'm too lazy to dig out my receipt.
Children's chewable Tylenol $1.30
Children's liquid Advil $1.70
Sleep-Aid $1.60
WAG brand Tylenol 150ct $2.25
Huge bottle of Aleve $3.90
Cutter bug spray $1.60
LED Flashlight $2.20
WAG tampons $1.60

Walgreens Issue??
Today I stocked up on clearance items at Walgreens. The "new" Walgreens in my area had Tylenol, Advil, Aleve, Bayer, & other meds clearanced out at rock bottom prices. (I also picked up several packages of Walgreen's version of Tampax Pearl 36 pk for $1.59!)
I happened to have a coupon for an Excedrin that was clearanced.
The Excedrin was marked down to $2.39 (100 ct.)
My coupon was for $1 off.
After I made my purchase, I realized that the Excedrin rang up at the regular price instead of the clearance price. Here is the strange thing... I had bought a second bottle in a second transaction and that one rang up at the clearance price. The only thing that I can guess is that using the manufacturer coupon made it default back to the regular price. If that is what happened... that is not right.
The manager on duty was very kind and refunded the difference for me.

Walgreens Deals 4/26-5/2
Stephanie at Couponing101 already has a Walgreens preview list up.
I noticed that she referenced using some IVCs (Instant Value Coupons) from the ESC (Easy Saver Catalog). Those coupons actually expire this Saturday, so you will not be able to use them with next week's sale prices.
Also be sure to read the comments that readers leave. Sometimes they post great deals that they discovered while shopping or "see" things that other bloggers have overlooked.
If you haven't heard yet... this is the last ESC. By the looks of next week's preview... it seems like Walgreens is going to increase the number of RR being printed. That means that you're going to have to do a lot more juggling and ring up multiple transactions.
Remember... a RR is like a manufacturer coupon for just about any item in the store. If you are using a manufacturer coupon for a product... you will not be able to use a RR for that item. If I have manufacturer coupons for all of my items, but still want to use my RRs to help pay... I pick up an inexpensive item (chapstick, pencil, clearance candy) for each RR that I want to use. This week I threw in a couple packs of plastic spoons that were on sale for 50¢ each so that I could use a couple RRs. I needed the plastic spoons, they were cheap, and I got to use my RRs before they expired.

Walgreens Deal
UPDATE!!!
Wait until the new ad starts!
Beginning Sunday, April 25th... you can earn a $5 RR when you purchase two!
2/$10 - 2 $4 coupons - $5 RR earned = 2 bottles for $1
Thanks Stephanie at www.couponing101.com !
Remember the Got 2 Be B1G1 at CVS?
Well, Walgreens has it a bit cheaper. It's one of their unadvertised sales. You have to walk around the store and look for the tags. Right now they are red and yellow.
Anyways...
Got 2 Be Hair Products are B1G1 at $5.99
Plus there is a $2 coupon at http://got2b-production.s3.amazonaws.com/coupon.html.
You can use two coupons, so you can get 2 products for $2.
Plus Walgreens carries a larger selection... so there is more to choose from.
I've already stocked up from my CVS purchases, but I am thinking about maybe buying two more. Hmm...

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

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:

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

Transaction 3:

RR from chapstick ($2)
Total OOP- .36¢
Earned another $2 RR from Mitchum
Transaction 4:

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

Transaction 7:
Make-Up $17

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.

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.
