Walgreens Run 3/1 – 3/7

There were too many free things available to not go to Walgreens this week, so I made a run. And what a run is was. I hope you will have an opportunity to go too and get stocked up!

Money Saving Mom had a slew of things listed for free on her site: Dove deodorant, Dove soap and Starbucks chocolate, Revelon beauty supplies, almost free Johnson and Johnson products, toothbrushes, crackers, Blink Tears, toothpaste, lotion, and the Free After Rebate items!

I also got a tip from Holly saying, “I am sure you have heard that you can get FREE Sambucol at Walgreens which is listed on “Money Saving Mom”, but I just wanted to let you know (if you didn’t already) that inside each box of Sambucol is a $3.00 off your next purchase of Sambucol. SOOOO, that means as many free boxes of Sambucol as you can find!” Thank you Holly! I used this fabulous tip to get three boxes of Sambucol myself. Don’t worry, there were 5 or 6 boxes left!

I tried using the $4 off printable Q for Sambucol and the Topeka Walgreens on 21st and Fairlawn would not take it. I printed it in black and white and wonder if that made them think that I photo copied it. I let it go, no biggie. When I tried to use my $3 off Q (from inside the box, on my next transaction) with the Easy Saver $10 off Q, the manager said that I wouldn’t be able to do that because I would get overage. I showed him that I was buying other items to cover the overage (one penny!) and asked if he would try to put the coupons through anyway to see if they would work. He agreed to try. And it did go through! It is permissible to stack a Walgreen’s coupon with a manufacturer coupon.

They didn’t want to take my $1.50 off printable Q for Blink Tears either, because they said I would not get my Register Rewards if I used a coupon. I told them that was not true, that I always shop here using coupons and have always gotten my RR’s in the past and to please try it…guess what? The coupon went through and I got my RR! Yipee!

I tell you all that to give you the heads up. I was not trying to do anything wrong and not according to their rules and regulations. Here is a great link to read about how to shop at Walgreens, if you would like a little more help in understanding their coupon, Register Rewards and Free After Rebate system.

Transaction #1

  • 2 Reach toothbrushes $3.58, used a BOGO Q and$1 off Q and Wags in ad 99¢ Q
  • 7 Dove Bar soaps (the limit is 3 per transaction, but they allowed me to buy them all at one time) $11.13, used Wags in ad 99¢ Q
  • Dove deodorant trial size 99¢
  • Wal-Zyr $3.99
  • Colgate toothpaste $3.29 (notice this toothpaste only cost $3.29, but my RR still came out $3.50!)
  • Johnson & Johnson dental floss $1.79
  • Sambucol $12.99, used $10 off ESQ (they wouldn’t take my $4 off Q on this one)
  • Blink Tears $7.99, used $1.50 off Q

Total OOP:  $28.64 all on my gift card (so free for me), with $21.50 in RR for next time! I will also get back $4.38 back in rebate from the Wal-Zyr. I would have paid $48.73 with out any coupons. Wow!

P.S. I tried to get a RR for the Reach toothbrushes…I didn’t get it. I guess you had to buy 3 brushes and not 2 brushes and 1 dental floss.

Transaction #2

  • Spray bottle $1.99, use Wags in ad 99¢ Q
  • Sambucol $12.99, use $3 off Q (found in first box I bought) and $10 off ESQ

Total OOP: $2.02 (paid on my gift card, so free to me)!

Transaction #3

  • Peroxide $1.69
  • Sambucol $12.99, used $3 off Q (from inside box)
  • 2 boxes of 12 giftcards, used Wags in ad BOGO Q (that makes these cards 8¢ ea!)

Total OOP:  $4.91 (all on my gift card, so free to me)!

How did you do this week? I would love to hear!

It was so beautiful outside today that I decided to walk over to Walgreens and grab a couple of the deals. I brought the stroller along to carry my goods. I wonder how many people went to look at my “baby” only to see a cereal box sitting there. I chuckled quite a bit over this all the way home! Oh, the simple things that tickle me. The sale ends tomorrow, January 10th if you are interested in duplicating my transaction.

  • Garnier styler $2.99, used $1 off Q and $2 off ESQ (Easy Saver Catalog coupon)
  • 2 Stayfree pads $13.98, used BOGO Q and $3 off in ad Q twice
  • Palmolive $1.79, used 50 off Q and $1off in ad Q
  • 4 boxes of cereal $10.00, used 4) $1 off Q’s
  • Electrosol $3.49, used $2.50 off Q

Total OOP:  $10.22, I paid this with my gift card so it really was free for me! I have $3 in RR for next time, and I will get $1.65 put back onto my gift card for the rebate on the Electrosol!

There are a couple of other great freebies and deals at Walgreens this week if you have the right coupons to match up, find them out at Money Saving Mom!

I did end up stopping by Walgreens yesterday to take advantage of the $5 off coupon. It didn’t turn out quite like I hoped, but it was still great!

I went ahead and bought the free-after-rebate items and was still $2 short of $20 so I planned on getting some of the 99¢ marshmallows as fillers. They were out of all the large marshmallows when I got there. I roamed the store looking for something that cost around $2, I ended up get 2 boxes of Kleenex that were buy one get one free for $2.19.

I still wanted the marshmallows though, because I want to make a treat for a get together soon. Well, there just “happened” to be another Wags on my way to a friend’s house last night, so I made a quick stop. Yay, they had the marshmallows and the FREE razor I was looking for!

All that to say, here’s what I got at Wags:

Transaction #1

  • 2 boxes Kleenex $2.19
  • Loreal Age Perfect cream $14.99, used $1 off Q
  • Almay mascara 6.99, used $1 off Q
  • use $5/$20 Q

Total OOP:  $18.60  All of this went on my gift card (so that makes it free) and I will get back $24.17 on my gift card for the FAR items!

Transaction #2

  • Marshmallows 99¢
  • Quattro Razor $6.99, used $4 off Q and $3 off Easy Saver Q

Total OOP: $1.57 And again this all went on my gift card, so it was free!

When it was all said and done I spent a total of $20.17 on my gift card (no money out of my actual pocket!) and I will be getting back $24.17…Walgreens paid me $4 to take all of this home!!! I still have $19 on my card too!

Today is the last day to take advantage of this coupon!

Same rules apply as other coupons in the past; your final total has to be $20 after all coupons and before taxes.

I wasn’t planning on going to Walgreens this week, but I may look over Money Saving Mom’s post on Walgreen’s deals this week again and see what I can come up with.

With another, yes, another, money saving coupon!

This time around you get $5 off when you spend $20, on October 3rd or 4th. Same rules apply as the other coupons; your final total has to be $20 after all coupons and before taxes to use this coupon.

I already went to Walgreens this week, so I doubt I will go again, but I sure hope some of you ladies can take advantage of this. If you are interested, read about my shopping trip; maybe it will inspire you. :) Also, don’t forget you could always buy your Free-After-Rebate items for a great money making opportunity.

And for anyone who doesn’t know, you can now enter your rebates on-line! You are suppose to get them back in 7 to 12 days, according to the site. I entered my September receipts and will see how it goes. I will try to let you know, if I can remember.

Another Walgreen’s coupon! This time it is good for Friday and Saturday, September 26 and 27.

Purchase $20 worth of items and get $5 dollars off. Notice your final total has to be $20 after all coupons and before taxes to use this coupon.

You might be able to really take advantage of this coupon since at the same time you can double dip. Which basically means you can use the coupons from the September and October Easy Saver booklet at the same time. For more information on what double dipping is, check out The Grocery Weekly’s post on this. And take a peek at Money Saving Mom for more scenario ideas.
