Thursday Walgreens Savings!!

July 31st, 2008 at 01:23 am

I got a coupon from Walgreens in my email, save $5 off $20 on an in-store purchase, Thursday only. (There's a link to forward to a friend, so if anyone is interested, let me know). So I checked out their new rebate booklet, which started 7/26 and goes through the end of August, and I've laid out my strategy:

1. Walgreens 4pk lightbulbs $1.99 (FAR)
2. Walgreens "Brita" water filter $6.99 (FAR)
3. Pert Plus shampoo 13.5oz $4.29 (FAR)
4. (2) BIO Infusion Shampoo/Cond $11.98 (FAR)

Hubby just told me this week that we need lightbulbs, we use a Brita pitcher instead of bottled water, and hubby is loyal to Pert Plus. The kids and I use whatever shampoo is on sale, so I'm great with that, even though I've never tried it before.

The total comes to $25.25, minus the $5 coupon and minus a $1 Pert coupon, for a total out of pocket of $19.25. All of the items are free after rebate, so I'll get the full $25.25 back, plus an extra 10% for having it put on a Walgreens gift card, instead of getting it as cash. So basically, I'm making $8.53, plus getting the stuff for free. Sounds like a great deal to me. Now, I just have to hope that my WAG has all of this stuff in stock, which is not always a given...

    I'm probably going to need to get a new blender here very soon. I was making a smoothie yesterday, and there was quite the smell coming from my blender's motor. I think I bought it in 1997 or 98, so I guess I've gotten my money's worth. Smile
    Anyway, if you could please forward that email to me, I'd appreciate it. Big Grin

    Very cool. I got the free light bulbs and Pert, and got a $7 coupon for them. I then used the $7 coupon to buy 10 things of Pringles in a separate transaction, which then yielded a $3 coupon. I'm hanging onto the $3 coupon for later.

    I tried the Bioinfusion shampoo today--the one with the lavender. It was fabulous--or at least it smelled fabulous. I think you'll like it!

    I'm going to try to make it over there tomorrow and get those vacuum seal bags that are free after the rebate.

    Sound like a great deal to me!!!! My Walgreens is kind of famous for not having the advertised items.

    Check around because I've seen coupons even for Brita.
