Walgreens Deals

.44 Extra gum

Wrigley's 15-piece Extra gum is .69. Buy two and use the .50-off-2 from the 3/13 RP1 (exp. 3/27!) and drop this to .44 per pack.

.50 Canada Dry 2-liters

2-liters of Canada Dry, 7-Up, A&W, Dr. Pepper and Sunkist are $1 each. Buy two Canada Dry and use this $1 printable to drop the price to .50 per bottle.

.74 Palmolive dish liquid

10oz. Palmolive dish liquid is .99. Use this .25 printable and pay .74.

$1.30 Prego pasta sauce

16oz. Prego pasta sauce is 2-for-$3. Buy two and use the .40-off-2 from the 2/28 SS to drop these to $1.30 per jar.

$1.38 Kellogg's cereal

8.7-13.7oz. Kellogg's cereals (ad shows Frosted Flakes, Raisin Bran) are $1.88 each. Buy two and use this $1-off-2 printable to drop these to $1.38 each. The 2/28 RP has a $1-off-3 too.

$1.49 Purex laundry detergent

Purex 24-33 load laundry detergent and 18ct. Ultra Packs are $1.99. Buy two liquid detergents and use this $1-off-2 printable to drop these to $1.49 each.

$1.55 Pop-Tarts

8ct. Kellogg's Pop-Tarts are $1.88. Buy three and use the $1-off-3 from the 3/13 RP1 or a printable and pay $1.55.

$1.67 Scope mouthwash and Crest toothpaste

Crest 5.8-6.2oz. toothpaste and Scope 16.9oz. Classic or Outlast mouthwash are on sale 3-for-$9. Now, the ad says to buy three and use the "$4-off-3 coupon from theSunday paper" -- but we aren't scheduled to have any inserts on 3/27 due to Easter. I suspect this may be a misprint, and the coupon may appear online as a printable or a load-to-card offer at Walgreens' site. IF we can find this coupon, pay $5 for three, or $1.67 each.

$2.59 Lipton tea

Lipton 22-100ct. tea is $2.99. Use the .40 coupon from the 3/20 RP and pay $2.59.

$2.65 Softsoap refills

56oz. Softsoap refills are Buy One Get One FREE. No price in ad, but Walgreens.com is showing the price at $6.29. Buy two and use a coupon from the 3/20 SS. Pay $5.29 for two, or about $2.65 each!

Walgreens Store Coupon Deals

Notes on Walgreens store coupons

Walgreens store coupons can be found in the IVC coupon book in the front of the store (small, about checkbook-sized) which comes out each month. You can also load the store coupons to your Balance Rewards card online at Walgreens' website.

You only need one Walgreens store coupon per item at Walgreens. A store coupon for $1.00 off Scope mouthwash will take $1 off every bottle you buy in the same shopping trip. Store coupons can be stacked with manufacturer coupons for additional savings.

There are also manufacturer ecoupons available to load to your card at Walgreens.com. Electronic manufacturer coupons cannot be stacked with paper manufacturer coupons.

Walgreens Register Rewards Deals

Notes on Register Rewards

You will only receive one Register Reward per offer per transaction. Example: A name-brand box of cereal generates a $1 Register Reward. Buying three identical boxes will not generate three $1 rewards. You cannot use Register Rewards to pay for items made by the same manufacturer. This will prevent the next set of Register Rewards from printing.

Example: I have a $1 Register Reward that I received buying Crest. If I use it to buy more Crest, the register will not generate another reward, as the first Crest reward prevents it from printing. Now, if I used a Crest Reward to buy Colgate, a Colgate Reward would print. I could then use that to buy Crest, and so on.

You can receive multiple Register Rewards in the same transaction, provided they are separate offers. I can buy a box of cereal that generates a Register Reward, a tube of toothpaste that generates a Register Reward, and a bottle of shampoo that generates a Register Reward -- all in the same transaction -- as long as they are different offers in the same ad.

FREE Colgate Total mouthwash and .50 toothpaste

Colgate Total or Max Fresh 6oz. toothpaste and Total Advanced mouthwash 8.45oz. are 2-for-$6. Buy two and get $4 Register Rewards.

For toothpaste, use two .50 coupons from the 3/20 SS. Pay $5 and get $4 back. That's $1 for two, or .50 each!

For mouthwash, use two $1 coupons from the 3/6 SS. Pay $4 and get $4 back, making TWO FREE!
