Walgreens Trip 5/3/11 $5.02...87% OFF!

Walgreens Trip 5/3/11 $5.02...87% OFF!
I had transactions all planned out for Walgreens this afternoon & was hoping they would have most of the items I needed in stock.  Well, that certainly wasn't the case today!  They were out of Charmin, Tylenol Precise, Noxzema Razors, & Bic Soleil razors from my list.  So, I did some re-shuffling of my plan in store.  I think I heard that they plan to get a truck in tomorrow, though.  So, I might give it a whirl again later in the week.  For these & more Walgreens Deals available yet this week, see my earlier post:  Walgreens Deals Week of 5/1/11 - 5/7/11!  For more about shopping & saving at Walgreens, see: Store Tips & Policies: Drugstores

Here's what I ended up buying today:

Transaction #1:
12-Scotch Magic Tape 1/2" x 450", Buy one @ $1.99, get two FREE!
~used a rain check to get sale price (from sale a couple of weeks ago)
+ used eight $1/1 scotch tape coupons
= $0.08 moneymaker!

2-U by Kotex Tampons, 18 ct., $3.50 each
~buy two & receive $2 RR
+ used two $1/1 coupons
= $1.50 each after coupons used & RRs received

1-G-U-M Eez-thru Flosser, $2.00
~buy one & receive $2 RR

Total Spent: $7.89 OOP (including tax)
Total Saved: $14.97 (65% OFF)
+ received $4 RR which I then used in Transaction #2

Transaction #2: 
 3-Nexcare Bandages, $3.49 each
~will be sending in for rebate on the box to make all of these FREE!
+ used one $0.55/1 coupon

  1. Just letting everyone know -- I love my wags. The manager there is very coupon friendly. I let him know what's hot for the next week and he orders extra. The address is SEC of Johnson & Washington, Madison, WI across from Ella's Deli. They still have plenty of Charmin & Tylenol Precise. If not on the shelf just ask an associate to check the back. Not sure about the razors.
