There are no Peelies on our product in our Walgreen’s!
There were no peelies or products at my store. Also, our store limits two transactions per customer, so I would have had to shop with someone else to do all three of these transactions on New Year’s Day for the bonus. On the upside, I found 8.5 oz bags of Reese’s cups for $0.87 on Christmas clearance!!! 🙂
i just wanted to ask a question about your transaction #3 – if you paid with points, how were you able to earn points? i thought you couldn’t do that? thanks for the advice…
U cant unless they have specials like this buy20 get 2,000 points normally no u cant use points n get points
Normally you can’t, but this special offer with the 2,000 points was still registering even when I paid with points.
Yea great job. But I am getting frustrated with bloggers going out and getting great deals but not sharing them till the day after the sale is over, or in this case, days after. I really am glad bloggers are able to figure out everything and get great deals, and even share some, but some great ones aren’t shared till it’s too late. Just frustrating. I wish I knew how to do figure out all these deals myself. 🙁
These are all deals that I posted during the week, this is just me going out and buying them myself. For example the K-cups…

Readers often ask me to post what I buy and so I thought I’d share. Sorry you missed the earlier posts. 🙁
Meme – Christie always shares her information with us as soon as she gets it. Your attack on her is unfair. She is the blogger that got me started couponing. She has great patience with all of us and answers all of our questions over and over and over! I suggest you sign up for her email and you will get all the information in a timely manner. Additionally, I think you owe her an apology. As you said, it’s not easy to figure these things out yet Christie does it willingly and shares it all with us at no cost.
dear Lord, I do not understand the points. =(
The points r pretty simple plus i love em for rolling wit rr example i did one transaction all br items paid wit rr plus u dont need fillers next do all rr items pay wit br i usually save my br for good rr deals n roll back n forth rolled rr from black friday into 80,000 points rolled those back into rr n so on
I tried to buy two boxes of the prenatal vitamins in two sep transactions and the manager at my store wouldn’t let me. she said the ad says limit one. My daughter is pregnant and i was buying them for her. She told the cashier to not let people buy more than one or they will run out that day. I just told her that i didn’t realize I couldn’t buy more than one. That manager is never friendly. I think it would kill her if she ever smiled or acted like she appreciates everyone’s business. I live in a small town and don’t have another Walgreen’s to go to, or I would. I usually only buy one or two of something, so it’s not like I clear the shelves!
They should have sum limit went sunday got 2 of each n went monday got 2 more its all that was left as usualpy one person clears the shelves so its like a race if u want n e thing
I checked 4 wags for peelies while out and about, none had them, you could tell something used to be there too 🙁
