• Walgreens: Spent $2 and Got $1 Back

    Walgreens Deals

    I had to pick up the girls from Good News Club yesterday and stopped by Walgreens on the way home to use up a couple coupons that were about ready to expire.  I spent $2.56 including tax at Walgreens this week for health and beauty purchases and received $1 Register Rewards back from that visit to use towards my next purchase at Walgreens.  Thankful for the bandaids that I found on clearance, it seems like we go through them and the school is always looking for them as well.

    Here is what I got this week:

    • 1 – Walgreens Large Antibacterial Bandaids on clearance for $0.82
    • 1 – Walgreens Medium Antibacterial Bandaids (20 count) on clearance for $0.75
    • 1 – Walgreens Wal-Born (like Airborne) on clearance for $2.59
    • 1 – Walgreens Gauze Bandaid Pads (30 count) on clearance for $1.29 (it came up for less then it was listed on clearance)
    • 1 – Wagi Baby Bib with Pocket on clearance for $1.09
    • 1 – Halls Warm Ups with Apple Cider for $1.00 (FREE with Register Rewards)

    The total was over $21 with tax before using discounts & coupons.  Here are the coupons I used on the items.

    • Used $4.60 Register Rewards

    I received $1 Register Rewards back today:

    • $1.00 Register Rewards for Halls Product

    Walgreen’s Register Rewards will expire two weeks from the date they are printed so you will need to make sure to use them before their expiration date.  I always keep the ones that are expiring the soonest on top of the stack to make sure to use them first.

    Another important fact regarding Walgreen’s Register Rewards you will need to know if you haven’t used them before is you can only use 1 coupon per item.  If you use a manufacturer’s coupon for every item you are purchasing you will not be able to use any Register Reward for that transaction.   If you do have a coupon for each item then check Walgreen’s weekly ad because they will have items on sale each week for pennies up to $1 that you can use as “filler” items but they won’t raise your total too much.  Once you get started using coupons and rewards you may discover, like I did, how to purchase many of your health and beauty items for nothing or very little.  Since using coupons and reward programs I rarely pay full price for any of our health and beauty items plus I usually have extra to share with guests visiting us or to give away.

    For those of you who shop regularly at Walgreens I encourage you to share how you were able to save this week!  Although the weekly ad sales are similar every family and situation is different so you may have found items better suited to your household.  In your comment please feel free to share how you saved at Walgreens (links to your blog article on how you saved are welcomed as well).
