Follow through on Walgreens Deals

Well, things did not go as planned this week. I did not find the deals I was looking for. But I did find out that I could ask for a rain check on sale prices. So the deal for the two free men's body wash, I can get at my leisure. The deal for the Tylonol Precise products goes all month, so I can look for that later. I also found out that Walgreens puts in their order on Wednesday and it comes in on Friday. So in the future when they run out of what I want I can ask them to order it for me. So this week was disappointing, but I did come away with some valuable information.

My shopping plan for Walgreens for week of 5/1

I have decided to give you all an advance of my plan for the week. Perhaps this will make it easier for you all to plan too. I will then post how it worked out for me. With all the couponers in the area, sometimes Walgreens does not have in stock what I want.

I am sticking with free this week.

Noxema Disposable razors buy one at $3.99 get $3 RR
Use $2/1 coupon found in 5/1 paper
Pay $1.99 get $3 RR
making it 1.01 money maker

G-U-M Eez-Thru Flossers $2 get $2 RR
making it free

Right Gaurd Total defense 5 B1G1
use the B1G1 coupon in 5/1 paper
Making 2 for free
My husband has really sensitive skin and won't use this probably, but for free, I can donate it to Angelheart or give it to a friend in need.

Tylenol Precise Pain Relief $7.99 (online price)
use $5/1 coupon found here
and $3/1 walgreens coupon from May booklet
Making it free.

I plan on buying the one G-U-M Flosser, get the $2 RR and use that RR for the Razors, then I will use the $3 RR to get more flossers. I will repeat that until I have 3 or 4 of each (I may buy a fourth paper this week because there are 4 inserts full of great coupons). I am also going to use the padded mailer, on sale for $0.39 with in-ad coupon (I need to mail out my mother's day gifts), and Butterball chicken broth on sale for $0.50 with in-ad coupon for my filler items. When I am finished I hope not to spend more than $4 all together, probably less than $3, and have a $3 RR leftover for next week

I will let you know how it turns out.
