Whoo Hoo! I haven't seen a $5 off $25 coupon at Walgreens since Christmas. Then reality hit when I read the fine print. This coupon is good on a $25 purchase after manufacturer and Walgreens coupons. I haven't spent $25 out of pocket at Walgreens since Christmas and I didn't think I could - until I thought a minute.
Here is my plan for the coupon where I will spend $20.18 out of pocket, but get back $18.98 in Register Rewards. See the coupon match-ups here.

Thanks Staci and Hollie.
ReplyDeleteWalgreens Chippewa cor. Hampton should stock more on their advertised deals. All I got were rainchecks on most of them. Am glad I went there to buy other items not on their ads. Was still able to avail $5 off $25 purchas. Was not able to maximize savings though. But it's better than not saving anything at all. :) Btw, I signed up on Walgreens site before and I received coupons thru e-mail.
ReplyDeletecoupon.girl - I'm glad you were able to use the $5 off $25 for something you needed. I agree with the stock issue at some Walgreen, but then again I don't know how many of us are chasing the same deals.
ReplyDeleteCould you email me? I have a couple of questions.
