Walgreens has a heck of a deal going on this week!
I had to get diapers for Sophia (I use Huggies diapers because they dont leak and also because they have a points/reward program for free kids toys and their packages have "Box Tops" which I send in to the kids' schools and deodorant for my husband (he only uses Degree for Men)and the average full price amount for these two items is around $15. I personally think this is too much money to spend on a product that goes in my husbands armpits and another that gets full of poop. So, being the thrifty mom that I am, I decide to do some bargain hunting.
This is a run-down of how I spent my money and got lots of free stuff:

1) Stayfree pantiliners are on sale for $2.99 and there is a $1 coupon on their website. Walgreens gives you back $2.99 in RR (Register Rewards), so FREE and I actually made $1.
2) Tone body wash is $2.99 with $2 back in RR so after the $1 I made from the Stayfree pads this is now FREE
3) Pluckers toothpicks are $2 with $2 RR =FREE
4) Personal groomer is on sale for $4.99 with $4.99 RR = FREE.
5) Skintimate sheve gel is $2.99 with $2.99 RR =FREE

So I paid $15 and got $15 RR back so I then used them to get the two things I needed--diapers and deodorant.
5) Mens Degree deodorant with coupon from the flyer is $2.49 + $1.25 coupon from coupons.com last week = $1.24
6) Womens Degree deodorant $2.49 with coupon from flyer + $1 coupon from coupons.com last week = $1.49
7) Huggies diapers on sale for $8.99 + $3 coupon from coupons.com = $5.99
8) Johsons baby body wash (I bought 2) is BOGO 1/2 off + 2 $1 coupons from their website= $4.75
so the total was $12 which I had $1 in RR so I paid $0 and still have a $3 RR left!!!!!!!

So, back to my original scenario of not wanting to spend $15 for diapers and deodorant--instead I paid $12 and got:
*diapers
*2 deodorant
*2 baby wash
*toothpicks
*personal groomer
*body wash and
*maxipads
with and overage of $3---
This is the type of thing that makes me happy!
A few minutes on the computer and you can do it too.
I always cut all coupons and print any I find, even if I dont think I will use them, most are good for atleast a month and you never know what will go on sale next week.
Happy coupon hunting!!
