Walgreens $5 Scenario - Week of 2/26/12
The most cost effective way to shop at Walgreens is to roll Register Rewards - spend Register Rewards on products that trigger more. If you budget $5 per week, you will save a ton of money.
Check out at the Cosmetic Counter. Multiple transaction always go smoother at a less busy register.
If you are following my $5 Scenario's you have a $2 Goody Register Reward to start this week's shopping.

Love it, can't wait for the CVS $5 scenario for this week. :)
ReplyDeleteWhere is the in ad coupon for $1.20? I only see the one for .69 cents for Stride Rite Gum.
ReplyDeleteThe in-ad coupon you will find is Sugar Free Gum $0.69. The coupon is good fro Trident, Stide or Dentyne
DeleteWalgreens registers will ring up the product at full price. I'm estimating that will be $1.29 each. On your receipt it will deduct the coupon as the difference between $0.69 and the full price. So my estimation is the register will dedcut $0.60 per pack of gum you buy.
Scenario
Buy (2) packs of Stide @ $1.29 each = $2.58
Use $1/2 manufacturer coupon - $1.00
Use Walgreens in-ad coupon - $1.20 (dedcuts $0.60 each per pack purchased)
= $0.38 for two packs or $0.19 each
I skipped transaction #3 since we have tons of men's razors. I added 2 dozen eggs to my last transaction since I had a raincheck for 99 cents each. I spent $3.82 OOP and got everything else on your list plus the eggs and I have my $2 RR for next week, can't wait! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat Shopping!
