Everything's Coming Up Green

Archive for the ‘Walgreens’ Category

I want to keep it totally real with you guys. I have very small children and don’t have the time or the organization skills to post all the different store match-ups each week. I really want to and hopefully soon I can get my life on a semi regular schedule and set aside time to do it. In the mean time I will do the next best thing. I will give you links to people who do have them and are very good at what they do!

You can find the current Walgreens match-ups over at Hip2Save!

Money Saving Mom has the current Wal-mart match-ups!

And Stretching a Buck will give you the best deals to be had this week at Target!

 

Have fun and save big!

I found a new chex mix coupon link for $.50 off. Just go here to print it off! Walgreens has chex mix on sale for just $.99 so with the coupon that is just $.49 a bag!

Walgreens has a 15% coupon off your entire purchase valid today only here. Since I didn’t get a chance to work on this last night (E. had a really rough day and last night I was up to my ears sorting through and organizing baby clothes for #2 while my “Big Helper” was asleep in her crib. I still have bins sitting in my living room because I finally gave in to the sleepiness that had overcome me) I am going to send you over to hip2save for a great list of items to take advantage of the 15% off.  Also check out moneysaving mom for a great huggies diaper deal and momsbyheart has  a great deal to score free crest toothpaste today! Have fun and let us know if you score any great deals!

I did it. I actually went out shopping yesterday, not that I picked up much in the food category though. Mostly I went out because we had pretty much been out of bread for days and were about to be out of toilet paper. I’ll be honest, I haven’t had much motivation to go shopping. If I go during the day I have to lug my purse, grocery bags, diaper bag and 14 month old child into the store pus the baby inside of me (I imagine this is quite the sight for others to see). Plus something happens when a child starts to walk with proficiency, they don’t want to sit in the cart anymore, and there is nothing you can give them, save a sippy cup of milk, that will change their one tracked mind. If I go shopping on the evening I pretty much lose all adult time with hubby for that evening, which is much needed right now. Of the two I have decided that I will have to go to shopping at night until the weather improves and I have this baby. All you moms with multiple small children I commend you! So I stopped at three stores yesterday-Target, Walgreens and Adli. I have decided to put them all in one post because frankly I am lucky to even have the time for that right now. It will still be fun though!

First stop-Target

 

I did two transactions. I did the Huggies diapers first so that I could use the $5 gift card towards the rest of my purchases.

Transaction #1

3 Huggies Newborn Jumbo Packs @ $8.99=$26.97 – 2x $3.00 MQ & $1.50 MQ= 21.01 (with tax)

 Earned $5 Gift Card

Transaction #1

2 Pairs of 18m Pj’s for E. 50% off @ $3.48=$6.96

2pks Method disinfectant wipes marked down to $2.54 = $5.08 – 2x $2.00 TQ = $1.08 for both

Picture frame marked down 50% off $3.74

Aloe Cottonelle 12pk $7.69 -$1.00 MQ – $1.00 TQ = $5.69

3 Large Gift bags marked down 75% $.98= $2.94

2 Dinner light candles 6pk Marked down 75% $1.48 = $2.96

-$0.05 Bag refund

-$5.00 Gift card

Total $20.30

The receipt said I saved $6.05 which would be coupons and bag refund but I saved way more than that with the mark downs!

I would say that If you are looking for household items –dish towels/clothes, curtains, bedding, etc now is the time to head over to Target. All that stuff was marked down to 50% off and I am sure it will soon go to 75%!

Next was Walgreens

 

Again I did two transactions. I had a little bit of a goof up here. I was going to get the Olay quench body lotion which would get me a free Olay body washes with purchase of the lotion but they were out of the lotion and the Huggies deal I was going to do I needed to buy 10 and I didn’t realize that until I got to the store. At this point though I had already picked up a filler that I would have needed had I been able to do either deal. So I ended out using my $2 register reward from the first transaction to pay for the filler and two pieces of caramel I had to throw in in-order for my total to be above $2.00 before tax. Apparently the register didn’t like me pay for tax with the RR. Such drama. The worst part is that I didn’t realize what I had done until I was at the next store. I wanted the original filler regardless, I just would have paid cash for it. Another reason I need to go shopping without kiddo for a while!

Transaction #1

2 Pert Plus for men 3in1 $2.50=$5.00 – 2x $1.50 = $2.35 (with Tax)

Earned $2.00 Register Rewards =Free after Coupons and Register Rewards!

Transaction #2

2 Sure Men’s deodorant 2/$5 – In Ad Q 2 for $3 -2x $1.50 MQ=Free!

Lip Smackers gift set (originally $5) $1.59 (This would be the filler item that caused the trouble)

2 Caramels $.35= $.70

-$2.00

Total $.51 (with tax-let’s face it, basically all tax)

Last stop-Aldi

 

I can’t find the receipt but it was like $7.98ish

12 grain bread was marked down to $.79 a loaf

Whole wheat white was $.59 a loaf

Taco chips were $1.19 each

Red potatoes were 1.99 /5lbs

Bananas ??

I would say I am quite pleased with my spoils!

And a bonus pic of Emma girl “helping” me unpack and take pics!
