Walgreens 4/10 - Paid $2.94 for $25.12!

Ok so it's a pretty lame week at Walgreens but I did manage to find some decent deals.
I did 2 transactions today and they were identical

1 Luster Whitening Toothpaste - $4.99 - (1) $1.50 off coupon $4 RR for next week.
1 Carefree pantiliner 20ct - 99c - no coupon - $1RR for next week
2 Hefty storage bags - $3.29 - B1G1Free walgreens coupon (in the ad this week!)
Total before coupons = $12.56
After coupons = $7.77

I had $7RR from last week to use so I paid 77c + tax of 70c = $1.47 out of my own pocket
And remember I did this transaction twice.

All in all I paid $2.94 for $25.12 of stuff and I got $10 of RR to use on next week's advert!

$39 value I paid $7.68 - Walgreens Ad - April 3rd to April 9th

Walgreens Advert - April 3rd to April 9th.

I had $22 of Register Rewards (Walgreens Cash) to spend from last week and it is a pretty bad week at Walgreens for me. Only toothpaste and Gillette Razors giving me decent register rewards. I don't tend to buy stuff that I don't use (unless really really forced too!)

Colgate $2.99 get $3 back.
Gillette Razor $9.99 get $4 back

So here is what I got.......
2 Gillete Razor Pro Glide - (1) $5 off coupon, (1) $4 off coupon
4 Colgate MAX toothpaste. (2) $0.75c off coupon

I also bought some random candy which I didn't need so the savings don't look quite so good this week!
Total value before coupons = $39.20
Out of my pocket - $7.68
And $20 of rewards (Walgreens cash) to spend on next weeks purchases!!!

Please note most of the candy has been eaten!


This is what walgreens register rewards look like, I treat it like cash!

About me!

In a strange role reversal, I (the man of the house) am the couponer.

Probably because my wife is busier than I am, even though she is a stay at home mom, she has a lot on her plate!!

My main savings are at CVS + Walgreens and Publix.

www.southernsavers.com is the absolute best resource for couponing.
