Here are some updates from my Walgreens Shopping trip to help your trip go a bit smoother!
STOCK-UP COUPONS: Many of you are getting Stock Up coupons printing at the register. Some of these are for a set dollar amount – like save $2 on a $10 purchase, and others are for a percentage off of a $30 or $50 purchase. Be sure to check your catalina print outs to see if you got any of these.
COLGATE REGISTER REWARD: The $3 Register Reward for select Colgate products is not printing. Walgreens is aware of the problem but you may want to hold off on purchasing this item until they fix the Register Reward. It does not print for any of the qualifying products, so probably best to hold off until later in the week for this one.
ALMAY COUPON: Just a heads up if you are planning to do any of the Almay deals this week. The Almay coupon seems to be beeping on select Mascaras. It works fine for the make-up removers and the eyeliners and liquid eyeliners. I remember this happened last time we had a high value Almay coupon.
So, although it’s perfectly acceptable to use this coupon on mascara, just be aware it may beep at it will be a YMMV as to being able to use it. The two varieties that beeped for me were Almay Thickening Mascara & Get Up and Grow Mascara.
I’m excited that the eye make up remover is included however – both the canisters and the liquid work. It’s my favorite and considering we are getting paid to buy it – it’s a major stock up price.
This is what I bought on Sunday. I started with $37 in Walgreens Register Rewards. Ended up getting $127.35 in products (before any manufacturer coupons) and paid $16.85 out of pocket. PLUS, I ended up with $37.30 in Balance Reward Points, $1 RR, 50¢ cash back from Checkout51 and will receive a 50¢ Saving Star Deposit. Subtract that from my out of pocket costs and add in the $37 in Register Rewards that I started with it, and that makes it $14.55 for $127.35 or about 89% off, or 35¢ per item (not including the folders).
I found a few bonus items: Scrubbing Bubbles were 10% bigger, 120 ct Ziploc Sandwich bags, and the St. Ives was packaged with a free travel size body wash. The St. Ives B1G1 lotion automatically deducted $7.29 and it did expire Sunday, but if you’re interested in adding these to your transaction, we do have a printable coupon available HERE. Also, today we have a new, higher valueDawn printable coupon!

I had a great few days picking up items at Walgreens! I thought I’d share what I purchased so far this week. In total after coupons, cash back, etc. all of this cost me $5.35. I spent $8.35 out of pocket + $10 in Points for a total of $18.35 but I ended up with $3 RR, $5 in Points & $5 in Cash Back. So that made it $5.35 for everything, which is less than the regular price of (1) Purex bottle – and I got 6!
A few notes… I was fortunate to find a very nice $1 off Vitamin Water Can tearpad at my Walgreens. I was shocked the tearpad was full, but I guess not everyone uses coupons. Also I purchased the Green flavor, I have heard from some of you that the Pink does not print the Register Reward, so be sure to get the Green or Orange.
Also, the Glade Free Scented Oil Refill had to be manually removed by the manager. For whatever reason it’s not coded properly but it’s in the ad and it was no big deal.
