Just throwing out a deal scenario for Walgreens...


If you didn't already know, there is a $5 off $25 coupon HERE that is valid tomorrow (9/29) and Wednesday (9/30) only. I came up with the following scenario just to get ya'll thinking about how to work this to the best advantage...


Buy:

1 - Vaseline Sheer Infusion lotion ($6.99)
1 - Gillette Fusion MVP Razor ($8.99)
1 - Halls Refresh Sugar Free 20ct ($1.00)
1 - Dentek Floss Picks ($2.00)
2 - TheraFlu Nighttime 6ct ($8.00)
1 - Oral B Advantage 1-2-3 toothbrush ($3.00)
1 - Herbal Essence Hair Care product ($2.99)
1 - Chapstick Fresh Effects ($2.99)
1 - Dawn Dish Liquid ($.99 w/ in-ad coupon)

Total: $36.95

Use:

1 - $1.50/1 Vaseline HERE or here: IE or Firefox
1 - $4/1 Gillette (PG 9/27)
1 - $.75/1 Halls (SS 9/27)
1 - $1/1 Dentek HERE
2 - $2/1 Theraflu (the print limit is reached on this one, so hopefully you already printed yours!)1 - $.75/1 Oral B (PG 9/27)
1 - $1/1 Herbal Essence (RP 8/23, exp 9/30) or (RP 9/27)
1 - $.25/1 Dawn (PG 8/30 or 9/27) or $.50/1 from the Home Made Simple coupon booklet

Total after coupons: $25.70 (or $25.45 depending on which Dawn coupon you use)

Use $5 off $25

Total OOP: $20.70 or $20.45 (plus tax)

BUT, then get back $7 RR for the Lotion, $6 RR for the razor, $1 for the Halls, $2 RR for the Dentek, $4 RR for the Theraflu, $3 RR for the Oral B, and $2 RR for the Herbal Essence! That's $25 in RR's! (If you have any RR's from last week, then you could bring your OOP down even more!) Also, if you have the Healthy Savings coupon booklet, it will take another $4 off, so you will have to add another $4 worth of items (after coupons) to reach the $25. I never did find that booklet of coupons, so I didn't factor that in my scenario. Hope that helps get your gears turning!

Nice work coming up with that transaction using the $5/$25! I wanted share the scenario i used on Sunday without the 5/25 I got from Mavin of Savin

http://www.mavenofsavin.com/2009/09/walgreens-scenarios-927-11-profit.html

I didn't even realize how good of a deal it was going to be when I walked in! But I walked out with about $130 worth of merchandise and $29 worth of RR after only spending $9.61 TOTAL OOP!!!
I followed her transactions pretty close minus the toothbrush, Robitussin and Emergen C.
Good Luck!!
