All this for just $4.99?!?
Sometimes I manage to amaze myself when it comes to saving, and last week’s shopping extravaganza at Walgreens might just be my most impressive yet.
But before I tell you about the amazing deals I managed to score, I first want to apologize for being MIA this week. Work has been super busy and I finally flew back home this morning after traveling all over Texas. I’m actually headed to San Antonio this weekend so it’s not all over, but things seem to be winding down at least.
Okay, back to Walgreens. Last weekend, I practically devoured the newly launched EasySaver booklet and the deals in the Sunday newspaper. I’m weird, reading the circulars and coupons with a Starbucks caramel macchiato is my idea of an ideal Sunday morning.
I’ve been going to Walgreens now for about six months and I finally feel like I’ve got a handle on the EasySaver rebates and coupons, Register Rewards and Walgreens coupon and how everything can be combined for even more savings.
After reading the circulars and combing through my coupon files, here is what I was able to get for a grand total of $4.99:
Sunday:
-Bought 6 oz. Colgate Max White for $3.29 (received $3.50 in Register Rewards, which are basically like a gift certificate or credit that can be applied to a future purchase)
-Bought Memory Formula 45 Soft Gels for $19.99 (eligible for a $19.99 EasySaver rebate so FREE)
-Bought Walgreens Extra Strength Headache QuickGels for $2.99 (eligible for a $2.99 EasySaver rebate so FREE)
TOTAL SPENT: $26.27
EXPECTED REBATES: $22.98
Tuesday:
-Wal-Zyr 24-hr. Allergy Relief tablets for $3.99 (eligible for a $3.99 EasySaver rebate so FREE)
-Pantene shampoo for $2.99 (on sale for $2.99 + coupon for $1 off two Pantene products + $3 EasySaver rebate on two Pantene products)
-Pantene conditioner for $2.99 (plus rebates/coupons mentioned above)
-Vaseline Intensive Care cocoa butter lotion for $4.11 (25% off regular price of $5.49 + $1.25 coupon + $2 Register Rewards
TOTAL SPENT: $8.69 after subtracting the $3.50 Register Rewards
EXPECTED REBATE: $6.99
Wednesday:
-2 boxes of Barilla pasta for $2 (FREE after using the Register Rewards from the Vaseline Intensive Care)
TOTAL SPENT: $0
So to recap, I got 9 items for $4.99 after all the rebates. Dang, I’m good :-) And you can be this good too if you hurry since most of these deals are valid through Saturday, March 7…
