Sunday Confession

I have to be honest with you… I do not HEART Walgreens.  Call me crazy.

I can’t tell you what it is, but my Wags trips never come out as planned.  Today was a case in point.  I went armed with my savvy scenario and my $5/$25 coupon.  Here’s what went down:

wags 1122
Retail (sale prices) $62.72
OOP = $30.34
Register Rewards earned $25
Final Price $5.34

First, I can’t count (seems to be a trend today.)  I bought one too many boxes of Nabisco crackers (at full price!  UGH!  I don’t do that?!?)  and couldn’t bring myself to return it just to make my world’s perfect transaction.  (Count on me to bring my full-priced Ritz to your next party!)

Second, I’m trying to break my department-store brand makeup habit (I SOOOO heart Lancome,) so I decided to purchase the Almay foundation and threw in a Rimmel mascara because I had a great coupon.  Add $1.74 of mascara to my $2.00 crackers… bummer.

On a positive note,  I have $25 RRs to spend on Black Friday to make a little money and get some FREE products to donate.  (Check out my WAGS Black Friday scenarios!)

Please have mercy on me and tell me how you shop Walgreens??

I have no Register Rewards (RRs) in my pocket right now, so I’ll focus on purchasing items that generate RRs for this transaction.  Here’s my scenario:

Buy 2 Triaminic $10.00 (get $5 RR)

Use (5) $1 Nabisco coupons from 11-8 SS
Use (4) $1 Coffee-mate coupons
*Use (2) $0.75 Kellogg’s Smart Start coupons
New total = $29.46 *leave out the Kellogg’s cereal for a total of $25.96, then use $5/$25
Use $5/$25 coupon
OOP = $24.46 + tax
GET $25 Register Rewards to use for Black Friday!

THEN, make an additional $10 with the Kraft $10 Keep the Jingle in Your holiday Mail-In Rebate (Buy ANY 10 Nabisco Crackers, Easy Cheese, or Planters Peanuts)

Coupon Strategy: Creating Scenarios with Fillers

Let’s address 2 coupon strategy topics:

#1 Scenarios
#2 Fillers

ra trip 1115Retail $15.18
# of coupons used = 6
OOP = $8.82
Submit $2.69 SCR
Final price $6.13

#1  Scenarios:

I wanted 4 papers (inserts) this week.  I could have gone to the store and spent $8.00 on Sunday papers.  End of story.  INSTEAD I cooked up a savvy scenario to save myself some cash and get a few extra goodies!

By using a “purchase coupon” (in this case $3/$15 at Rite Aid) and buying a FAR (free after rebate) item, I was able to get everything in the picture for less than the cost of my 4 papers!  Moral of the story:  coupons create savings on items you don’t have coupons for!

#2  Fillers:

What is that little red blob in the lower right hand corner of the picture?  A 33 cent piece of candy I was dying to have?  Umm… NO.  It’s a “filler.”  I wanted to use my $3/$15 coupon, but my total was only at $14.85.  I needed an inexpensive item (filler) to get me to $15.  It could be anything!

Fillers are a common necessity when shopping at Walgreens when you need your # of coupons (manufacturer coupons + register rewards) to equal the # of items you’re purchasing.   (More on that later.)

Walgreens November Coupon Booklet


Look for your copy of the Walgreens November coupon booklet in stores now. Have you seen the movie The Holiday with Cameron Diaz?  You remember the man’s voice who does her movie trailers?  I keep hearing “Look for your copy of the Walgreens November coupon booklet in stores now” in his voice.  Ha!  (Sorry! lol)
ANYWAY, Don’t forget these are STORE coupons that can be stacked with your manufacturer coupons for added savings!   I found it next to the weekly circulars in the front of the store.  (Exp 11/28)
