Walgreen's has some great deals this week! 4 things for free after Register Rewards (I only wanted 2 of them), and a great deal on cereal and gum. I had $22 on my rebates card (rebate from the probiotic finally went through). Here's what I got:
Natrol Melatonin 100 ct. $4, get $4 RR
Arctic Naturals Daily Omega-3 60 ct. $10, get $10 RR
First transaction total: $14, used rebate card, paid nothing
Got back $10 and $4 RR
Second transaction:
2 Huggies snug and dry $8.99 - $3 here = $5.99, buy 2 and get 2,000 points! (1,000 is the equivalent of $1, but I'm saving mine up to 40,000 to get the highest discount)
Pepperidge Farm goldfish crackers $2.49 (no sale - just bc I had the girls with me :)
2 ID gum spearmint $1.49 - BOGO up to $1 = $.74 each (online it said the price was $.99 but I really didn't care), got 200 points
-(3) $1.50 RR from previous transactions
(4) caramels as fillers $.33 each
I tried using the $4 and $10 from trans #1 (which was the whole point of me splitting it up), but for some reason the register wouldn't let me. Really want to find out why...
Subtotal: $13.27
After rebate card (amount paid): $6.28
Paper coupon savings: $11.50, got $14 in RR for next time

Walgreen's Kleenex Extraordinare!
SO... This was a one day only deal. There is a BOGO sale on Kleenex starting today... There is a coupon in the weekly ad that ends today (you can get them in the front of the store) that make each box $.99 (they are reg. $2.49). Buy 6 and you get $1.50 RR!
There are also $.50/3 coupons in the 2/10 SS. If you put them all together... 6 boxes for $.49!
I only had one coupon, though, so I got 6 boxes for $.99, still a great deal.
It was so great, that I went back and got 12 more with no coupons... Pay $5.94 OOP and get back $3 RR for a grand total of $.25 a box! Or you could look at it that I got them for $.49 a box OOP and got $3 back to spend on my next trip. Either are valid (I actually like the latter way better because it's not as misleading. You'll see the first method of "pricing" on a lot of couponing websites and I believe it is very misleading, especially for people on a tight budget!)

Made a quick trip to Target tonight:
5 General Mills cereals (2 Cheerios yellow box, 2 Lucky Charms, 1 Honey Nut Cheerios Medley). Target is having a buy 5 get a $5 GC, and the boxes are $2.50. I used (2) $.50 coupons for the yellow box of Cheerios (coupons.com), and $1/3 General Mills coupon. There are lots of other coupons for this, including $1/2 Chex (didn't know they were included until I got there), and $1 Honey Nut Cheerios Medley that is NLA it went so fast to print. I'm saving mine for the Tom Thumb sale, though, since it didn't make a difference if I used just that $1/1 or $1/3.
5 General Mills Cereals $2.50 = $12.50 - $.50 - $.50 - $1 = $10.50, got $5 GC
Buy any 3 Pediasure products, get a $5 GC.
3 @ $9.99 = $29.97 - (3)$3 (printable on their website, sign up and they'll email it to you) - $2 (Target mailer) = $18.97, got $5 GC, makes them essentially $4.66 each, a 54% savings
1 Cascade trial pack $1 - $1 Feb. P&G (no size restriction) = Free!
I used to $5 GC I recieved from previous transactions, and one $10 GC I got from the shopkick app! You guys should seriously sign up for this thing, it is the easiest thing ever. I was going through my history and most of my kicks were simply walk-ins to Target! You can receive kicks for scanning products in-store, linking your card and making purchases, or (my favorite) walk-ins. Simply by walking into the store they will give you 35-80 kicks (sometimes more, like on Black Friday when they gave away 200k per store!). My $10 GC cost 2,500 kicks, so I've been saving up for a while, but you can redeem it for a $2 GC with as little as 500k.
Overall, I paid $9.22 and got $10 back in gift cards! There's nothing like shopping for free. ;)
So wishing I could include gift cards with this, because, honestly, if it wasn't for the gift card promos, I wouldn't be using these coupons! I have to stick with the plan, though, we want to see how much we save vs. the cost of acquiring the coupons (the cost of ink, essentially, and newspapers).
