Walgreens BRAG THREAD: post your brags here )

[dwyerkim]

I had $25 in RR going into this week. After 4 trips to WGs, I now have:
5 Reach Floss
3 Jergen's Lotion
4 packs Bic pens
2 Colgate Total
10 cans campbell's soup
2 packs of Band Aids
1 bottle Listerine
and a couple of clearance fillers (stickers, scotch pop up tape dispenser and refills)

My total OOP including tax is $7.78, and I still have $22 in RR to play with. Woo-hoo! And my OOP would have been cheaper but I messed up a couple of transactions b/c items I had planned to buy were out of stock. Unfortunately, I"m leaving town in a few days for two weeks so I am going to have to trade all these in as they will be expired when I get back and there is not a WGs all that close to where we will be visiting.

Make sure you grab a filler item so you can use the $1 RR.

Did this not print out a $5 RR for purchasing over $25?

it would have if I had waited a week to buy these! (see the date of my post)! There seems to ALWAYS be a better deal... can you believe it?

I did the same deal yesterday, only at a wags with a 3.29 wipes. Got 8, got the velveeta (4) and a conair hair brush. Able to use an expiring 10RR due to the higher priced huggies... and walked out with thr 5rr, 1rr and 2rr.

well, only my second time at this, but I had to go because my $9 in RR expire today. I don't live in a town with a WAGS, so it is a little harder. My other problem is that they take down the sale signs and RR signs fairly early on Saturdays, so it is very hard to make sure you are getting the right things, but I got 2 kotex, 2 pringles, 2 duracell, 12 pk angel soft, 3 kleenex, 2 hefty zip lock, 2 trident, for $13.62 oop and received $6 in RR. I know some of you do a lot better, but I don't have a lot of the coupons since I really only get inserts and All You. I am pretty happy with 14 items at less than $1 each + $6 RR.

I haven't been to Walgreen's in a while but I stopped in today to look for the Huggies Wipes. They were $2.79 at my store, so after the Walgreen's $2 Q and the 50 cents MFR ones, they were only 29 cents! :) I got 3 of them and my total was $1.54.

She handed me my receipt and a couple things had printed out of the catalina machine. One was an advertisement and then the other was one of the $5 Walgreen's RR's!!!!!!!!!!! Only thing I can think of is that it was from the person ahead of me.

This was my first Walgreens coupon trip ever; I was a little apprehensive!! :) Everything went fine however, except for the fact that the store was completely cleaned out of huggies wipes. I will hopefully go back and get them next week. (does anyone know when the Back to School coupon booklet coupons expire?)

Anyway here is what I got:

1 Zantac - $4.99
2 Zyrtec - clearanced for 3.19 each
6 Bic highlighters 0.39 each
2 packages Penway crayons 0.49 each

My after coupon total with tax was $15.xx

I used:

$5/1 Zantac coupon
2 $3/1 Zyrtec coupons
3 $1/2 Bic coupons

After coupons my total was about $1.60 and I recieved $5 RR.

I was happy to get some RR to start with, paying little oop.

I had about $58 in RR from the last two weeks (got a whole stash of body wash for gifts!!).

Today I didnt get to Walgreens until about 9:30 but I powershopped.

I did two transactions (then ran back in at 2 till ten to get Drano!)

1st one:
2 bottles diet pepsi (small ones) 2.49
2 Benadryl (4.99) - $1.00/1 coupon x 2 - generated $5.00 rewards
Used two $4.00 RRs
Total OOP: $2.84 - got back $5 in RR on benadryl

2nd transaction:
2 ea Tylenol 8 hr $4.99 BOGO - $2.00/1 x 2 coup in todays 8/23 SS
2 Benadryl spray $3.99 each - $1.00/1 coupon x 2
CHinet plates 2 each but $2.99 BOGO - $1.00/1 x 2
Newspaper $1.50
Less RR's
Total OOP: $0.65
got back $5.00 RR
(NOTE the benadry spray did not generate an RR but the cashier knew it should have so she gave me a gift card)

Then ran back in to get Drano. The professional foaming stuff had a $0.55 coupon off so being the same price as the regular I got it!
Came to $5 and tax so I used my RR from above and paid the tax.

Of course I didnt have time to get all the other stuff I wanted today but I will make a trip down this week since the kids are back to school tomorrow.
