My Walgreens Deals 4/25

I tend to be a procrastinator, so I was very proud of myself that I managed to get to Walgreens on Sunday morning right when they opened. That is something I rarely ever do, but I may have to do it more often. I was pleasantly surprised, the store I went to was pretty much fully stocked and had hardly any customers yet. I always prefer going to the cosmetics counter so I don’t tie up the line at the front register with my coupons, but the cosmetics cashier wasn’t available that early yet. Fortunately, like I said, the store wasn’t busy yet at all, so I asked the cashier up front if it was ok after the first transaction to take my purchases out to my car and come back in and do another transaction (I like to get off on the right foot with the cashiers and ask in advance about doing more than one transaction, it’s always worked better for me that way personally). She said that was fine so I was able to do 2 very nice transactions that day.

Transaction #1:

  • Clio Personal Trimmer $4.99, Got back $5.00 RR
  • Skintimate Shave Cream $2.99, Used $2.00/1 coupon from Cosmopolitan magazine, April 2010 issue, Got back $3.00 RR
  • Stayfree Pads 16 ct. $2.99, Used $2.00/1 coupon from the 3/28 RP insert, Got back $3.00 RR
  • Tone Body Wash $3.99, Used $1.00/1 Tone Body Wash coupon from HERE, Got back $3.00 RR
  • 6 Rolls Scotch Tape $0.99, Used 6 $1.00/1 coupons from HERE and Used Walgreens weekly ad coupon (handed over last to avoid the coupon beeping) Note: Scotch has since removed the $1.00 coupon. UPDATE: There’s another $1.00/1 coupon HERE, I don’t know how long it will be available, so I’d hurry and save/print it now if you haven’t had a chance to do so yet.
  • 5 Easter Gift Bags 85% Off Clearance $0.03 ea.
  • Used $10.00 in previous RRs
  • Final Cost $0.05 and Got back $14.00 in Register Rewards

Transaction #2:

  • Clio Personal Trimmer $4.99, Got back $5.00 RR
  • Skintimate Shave Cream $2.99, Got back $3.00 RR
  • Stayfree Pads 16 ct. $2.99, Used $2.00/1 coupon from the 3/28 RP insert, Got back $3.00 RR
  • Plackers Flossers $2.00, Used $0.50 coupon from the 4/18 RP insert, Got back $2.00 RR
  • 6 Rolls Scotch Tape $0.99, Used 6 $1.00/1 coupons from HERE and Used Walgreens weekly ad coupon (handed over last to avoid the coupon beeping)
  • 5 Easter Gift Bags 85% Off Clearance $0.03 ea.
  • Used $10.00 in previous RRs
  • Final Cost $0.60 and Got back $13.00 in Register Rewards

Oh, how I love my Dillons. Overall, they have been the place where I save the most money on food deals. They just have the best combination of deals-they markdown items frequently, they have E-coupons and they double coupons! The below transaction has to be one of my favorites to date:

4/25 Trip

  • 3 Fast Fixin’ Chicken 8 oz. $1.00 ea., Used 3 $1.25/1 Fast Fixin’ Fast Classics Bag coupon from the All You Magazine-January, March & May 2010 issues (I noticed when I purchased 3 of these a few days ago using the $1.00 coupons that these 8 oz. Fast Fixin’ Chicken were now being packaged in bags, not boxes. The $1.25 coupon just says “Bag”, there are no size exclusions. I wasn’t sure if the coupon would work, but they went through just fine, no beeps!)
  • Bumble Bee Albacore 2.5 oz. pouch $1.00, Used $0.55/1 coupon from the 2/21 SS insert (doubled to $1.00)
  • 10 Mentos Gum $1.00 ea. (this is my favorite gum and I’ve converted several people over to this gum as well, they all love it!), Used 10 $0.55/1 coupons from the 2/21 SS insert (doubled to $1.00)
  • 2 packages of Smart Chicken Thighs (about 2 lbs. ea), Marked down to $1.94 & $1.84, Used 2 $1.00/1 coupon from HERE
  • 2 Scotch Brite Greener Clean Sponges $1.00 ea., Used 2 $1.00/1 coupons (no longer available) and will submit for Free Tote Mail-in Offer HERE

  • Used $3.00 Catalina Coupon from a previous purchase
  • Final Cost $0.52, Yayyyy!

4/26 Trip

Ok, Dillons has the BEST Deli Fried Chicken in town, no contest in my opinion. So, let me tell, you I was delighted when I saw that Dillons had added an E-coupon on their site HERE for $2.00 off Deli 8 piece mixed (dark, baked, or fried) chicken.

  • Horizon Organic Whole Milk Gallon, originally $5.99, Marked down to $1.99

I love Aldis for their produce, I try to make a trip there every week to check out their weekly deals. They simply cannot be beaten on some of their produce prices.

I have never seen milk here that cheap, what an awesome deal!

  • 2 Garden Salads $0.39 ea.
