Walgreens Deals


Here is my weekly rhapsody to Walgreens. I purchased: 2 Infusium Conditioners, 1 Infusium Shampoo, 1 Herbal Essences Shampoo, 1 Aussie Shampoo, 1 Aussie Conditioner, 2 packages of 3 Venus disposable razors, 2 Oral B Indicator Toothbrushes, 3 100 count Excedrin, two packs of gum, and two packs of computer paper. Total retail value: $91.93.
I paid: $17.46 out of pocket. Subtract from that the $10 coupon off my next purchase that I received and a $2.99 Excedrin rebate that I will send in= $4.47 total.
It took some patience studying the ads to figure out what coupons that I could use and how I could work the Register Rewards coupons in my favor (I checked out three times and alternated the P&G and the Novartis orders). Plus I had about $9 leftover on a couple of gift cards. Now that's what I call good shopping!
P.S. While I was taking the picture for this post, I realized how odd it is to be lining up HBA items on a table in the breezeway to take a picture of them.

I am in awe of your frugal shopping genius! I don't even know what you are talking about half the time with this stuff, but I am amazed! $94 plus worth of mechandise for less than $5? I may have to hire you to shop for me too! :-)
Love Auntie T.

Great job! I looked at that P&G offer, but couldn't quite figure out how to make it a good deal - did you have mfr. coupons as well?

Thanks Tams! :)

And thank you, Monica! I love reading about all of your good deals! I did have a manufacturer's coupon for nearly every item I bought + I alternated the P&G and Novartis orders so that I could use those coupons as well. I sat down with my coupons and the ad and started running the math on all of it to figure out the best deals. It took me quite a while to figure out, but I was happy with the results!
