Walgreens Black Friday (ad scan posted & Match-Ups)

Not a lady, but IMO, the best filler right now is the Advil PM you can find in the travel section. It's 99 cents and prints a 99 cent RR.

I wanted those so bad.
They were still out today.
You're right, that would have been a nice filler - but my store was out when the doors opened. Small store = small inventory.

Good thing they finally got the toothbrushes in tonight - forgot to ck for the prep h - another thing they have been out of.

We have a co manager that doesn't like coupons or couponers and she is hiding the stuff and not putting it out. So I have learned to go the last day of sales when the good co manager finds it and put it out.

.99 chips!?! that's needed?!! I walked out with NO food
Ohhh, SM did try to talk me into some Travel Size tissue. @ .59 - small, compact, doesn't take up a lot of space... uhhhh - no, wanted the boxes of Kleenex

Hey shopper girlie,,,,how many did ya do?

We are at ,,,,,,111 + 14 = 125
- not too bad to scrounge up deals at the last minute.
oop - around 23.xx. I know ya beat me - I feel it in me bones.
Would have been better if I had some man q's but we didn't order any this time.

I am a failure!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They still have toothbrushes and I promised my manager I would clean em out.

thickbluebug - I can never beat you... I'm just an apprentice next to you wowsers... I actually went to the back of the store today where they were putting the FARRs, and well, saw some OralB t/brushes and ThermaCare thought they were out.. so, grabbed a couple. I didn't get any OralB from them last nite - had been letting staff have first dibs I never have Colgate Qs, a nice - two AMs had a stash in their pockets from the D&Y books AND, I finally found the Christmas bags - $1/8 - top top shelf uhhhh - how do they expect me to buy if it's way UP there?!! Told AM @ the end today, can't buy more - they ran out of good fillers yeah - they know what's important to me now

This is my first time shopping a Walgreen's on Black Friday. They were well stocked. I arrived there at 4 pm and left at 9pm. The manager was allowing multiple transactions. I went in with $7 RR's to spend. I came out with $38 RR's and my oops was $2.89. It was a great night. I may go back today.

A question for all the lovely smart ladies who are on the top of their game:

What is the chepest filler item one can purchase and where is it found?

Many mnay thanks

It's helpful to have a mental list of some regular items that are cheap for backup fillers. Some people use pencils, cheap candy bars, the small votive candles (not sure of the price). The instant pudding and jell-o (Royal I think) and ramen is usually around 39c each or 3/$1, cheese sticks 2/$1 I think, also check the clearance. Knee high 2pks were 3/$1 for a while. If the sardines or canned mandarins are cheap I sometimes use those. I like their sardines, they have the smoked ones. I would rather pay a bit more for something I would actually use. Their cereal bowls and glasses are sometimes cheap.

I did amazing at Walgreen's over the past 3 days. I went to 3 stores, 2 of them only allowed one deal per customer. The other one didn't limit transactions and I was in the medium category of crazy coupon shopper. There were 3 people there every day doing hundreds of transactions. The store had preordered for them and had their shelves stocked up for everyone else. I did about 8-10 transactions each day. This store is so incredibly over the top. The employees gave me coupons. The manager asked if I wanted any Revlon lip gloss as it wasn't on the shelves. I didn't. I only wanted the lipstick and they were out, but I did get several at my other 2 stores.

In 3 days I spent a total of $68.84 OOP and earned $113.50 in RR's. I am thrilled. I got 2 Sonicare Toothbrushes in that too. Last week I bought a Sonicare Toothbrush set at Kohl's that had one charger and 2 toothbrushes for my DH and me. We realized we should each have our own charger and got one for DD too. Such a great deal. And I did the $10 rebate for one of them.

It was so much fun. I hugged the cashier when I left today. I had helped another man who didn't know anything about RR's and he gave me a hug as I was leaving too.

I was going to leave with coupons still great, but was just too tired to do anymore. I did give that man my last coupons.

What a fun 3 days!
