Week 2 - Shopping Trip 2 - Walgrees


Walgreen's doesn't really do a lot for me, most of the time. I find an odd deal here or there that makes me go gaga, but most of the time, I can get better deals at CVS.
Not this week.

This week, Garnier Fructis shampoo/conditioner/stylers are on sale for 2.99. Yikes, that's way expensive! But- there is a coupon in their Easy Saver booklet for 2.00 off Garnier Fructis. And I had dollar off coupons from the paper a few weeks ago. Yes, 2.99 - 2.00 - 1.00 = FREE SHAMPOO! I only got 4 because I only had 4 of the dollar-off coupons.

They also had Orbit gum on sale 3 for 1.99. And there is a coupon in their Easy Saver booklet for 1.00 off if you buy 3. So, basically, 3 for 99 cents. I got 6.

And, Walgreen's brand headache medicine was on sale for 2.99 with a 2.99 rebate offer in the Easy Saver book.

SO....
4 shampoo x 2.99 = 11.96
4 coupons x 2.00 = 8.00
4 coupons x 1.00 = 4.00
= -.04

6 gum x .66 = 3.96
2 coupons x 1.00 = 2.00
= 1.96

1 headache medicine x 2.99
no coupons
=2.99

Grand total of 5.93. I paid 5.50 from a gift card, and the remaining 43 cents out of the bottom of my purse.

My savings was a whopping 23.76!!

Now, Walgreen's Easy Saver booklet has instant value coupons, as well as mail-in rebate offers. I got an offer last month, and had the rebate money put onto a gift card instead of being mailed to me as a check (that was the 5.50 I paid with above). The headache medicine up there is a rebate offer for this month. By paying with my rebate from last month, to purchase something that will get a rebate this month... I am "rolling" my money!

Weekly spending total: 20.54
Weekly savings total: 39.89
YTD spending total: 74.35
YTD savings total: 92.30
