WALGREENS DEALS THIS WEEK 6/16/2011

I have had lots of good luck this week at Walgreens.

This week at Walgreesn The Bayer is on sale for $3.00 you get a $1.00 register reward and there was a $2.00 off coupon in last Sundays paper.  (ring as separate transaction to get 2 $1.00 rewards)

REGISTER REWARDS ARE COUPONS OFF YOUR NEXT PURCHASE AT WALGREENS THAT PRINT AT THE REGISTER WHEN YOU BY CERTAIN ADVERTISED PRODUCTS

"WALGREENS CASH"

CVS ALSO DOES THIS AND CALLS THEM CVS BUCKS

 Ok, now Roll those rewards you got on the Bayer to get the Walgreen's Allergy Medicine for $3.99 and then you will get a $4.00 register reward (ring separately to get two rewards) 

Roll $4.00 rewards to get Air Wick starter kits (not pictured already opened) regular $14.99 on sale$7.99. Use the $4.00 off coupon from the paper 6/5. Then get $3.00 in store rewards.

Roll the $3.00 reward to pay for The Proglide razor which is on sale $9.89, use the $4.00 off coupon that was in the paper a few weeks ago (6/5) and you get a $5.00 store reward.

Last but not least the three pair of knee-high and a lip gloss pictured above I got off the clerance rack, and paid .12cent for all 4 items. Had to redeem 1 one dollar register reward before it expired.

At the end of the day and I have $8.00 left in register rewards for next week.

(started with a few from the week before)

 LOVE TO SHOP AT WALGREEN'S NOW THAT I LEARNED HOW TO WORK THE REGISTER REWARDS.

Trick to Walgreens: you can use a register reward and a coupon on any item you just have to have an equal amount of products as you have coupons. So you may need to add a candy bar or a small clearance item to make sure your coupons and products are equal. We call these fillers.

  HAVE FUN OUT THERE!!

Another Weekend Trip to the Store

Who doesn't love to go to the store and just ROCK a good deal!!


So today I was only go to run into the store to cash in on an Old Spice Deal.
Buy the deodorant get the Body Wash Free, plus had a $1.00 the Deodorant
Had two set of those coupons. PLUS we had a .50 off store coupon. They wouldn't let me use that one. Which I don't see why not since you are allowed to stack a store and manufacture coupon. Anyway I was happy with my saving.


OK if you haven't notice they have been a lot of make-up coupons lately and CVS has had a KILLER 75% off sale. SO I had to just see what they had left. First thing I do when I walk in to a CVS is scan my store card and today it gave me another $3.00 off and $10.00 cosmetic purchase. Plus I had $5.00 off any $10.00 NYC purchase, 2 $2.00 Revlon, $2.00 off any Loreal and $5.00 in store bucks from last week.


Walked away paying $3.74 for everything in the picture, NOW THAT'S A GREAT DAY SHOPPING!!

Where Do I Get My Coupons?

Getting a good stock of coupon is the key to your savings, but where do you get those coupons?


#1 spot goes to the Sunday paper.   (buy 2)
#2 Printing coupons from the internet.


Plus:
Look for the  ALL YOU magazine only sold at Wal-Mart. It's about $2 pays for itself.
On products your already buying as a peel-off or a hang tag on the cap.
Attached to shelfs as tare pads or the little red machines from Smart Source.
Store flyers/weekly circular.


 *I like to get coupons in pairs, this way when it's Buy 1 Get 1Free, you can use both coupons for the best savings. 

Have fun but, DON'T take all the coupons leave some for your neighbors.

STARTING THE BINDER SYSTEM FOR YOUR COUPONS

GETTING STARTED, YOUR GOING TO NEED A FEW THINGS FIRST.


1.) Three Ring Binder (I prefer a zipper binder)
2.) Tabbed Dividers (25 or so)
3.) Baseball card sleeves, holding 9 cards works best for me (I have 100)


Optional
I also have 5 tabs for my favorite stores, where I also keep a copy of the store coupon policy. 
(be sure to check the policy often, you never know when a store may make a change)

It's OK if you have to fold your coupons to fit in the sleeves, the stores still take them if they have a crease. 


Do you take your binder to the store with you or not?


I do not, I use a regular white envelope to list the items I am going to the store for with my coupons inside. YES, I could miss an unexpected sale, but I am less like to buy items not on my list. 


My best friend however take hers all the time and probably saves more then I do.


 It's just a matter of what works for you. BEST WISHES SHOPPING!!
