Walgreens

I did my first Walgreens "deal" today!  I've been wanting to get into the Walgreens/CVS couponing/rebating world for awhile now, and today I finally made the first step!

I don't have a fancy post like the other bloggers out there nor did I take a photo of all the goods (I am amazed at how much time some people take to photograph & blog about their deals...I'm mostly envious, really!), but wanted to share my little joys!
  • * 3 bottles of Fructis shampoo/conditioner - $2.99 each less $2 instant coupon less $1 mftg coupon = ($0.01) X 3 (they paid me to take them out of the store)
  • * 2 Right Guard Deodorant - $2.99 each less $2.00 "Walgreens Register Rewards"*** less $1/2 mftg coupon=$0.49 each [These were on my normal shopping list so woo-hoo.]
  • * 2 Colgate toothpaste - $3.49 each less $2.50 instant coupon less $1 mftg coupon = ($0.01)x3 (they paid me again)
  • * 1 Axe Shampoo - $5.99 less $5.99 online rebate=free
  • * 3 Huggies jumbo pack diapers - $10 each less $10.00 Register Rewards - $3 mftg coupon = $11.00 for 3 packs
*** These are coupons that spit out after your order that you can use on a future purchase.

Woohoo!  I'm just starting out but I was pretty thrilled!

I'm also planning to do another rebate where I will get $0.75 back for each diaper pack, so more money in my pocket.   Yes!

I also went to Target where I got 2 large packs of Huggies wipes for about 98 cents each after $5 mftg coupon.  I also bought a 2 pound steak for a whopping $0.34 and a nice 3 # angus beef roast for about $3.50 using a couple of SuperTarget coupons.

I think I only missed giving one coupon (for wipes at Target) but that was pretty good considering I dragged my little one out at naptime (scandalous!) to go shopping!  He was a good sport through it all.  

I really can see where this could be a full time job figuring out the deals!

It is sure fun though.

awesome deals!!!
is there a site you follow to find out about these coupons/deals?

i always hear about other peoples massive savings but never actually know what/how/where they are.

i feel very uneducated in the coupon world ;)

That is pretty cool! I thought I was a good shopper but you have me beat. I don't think they have ever "paid" me to buy something. Keep up the good work and have fun with it!
