Woo-Hoo! I haven't done my Walgreens trip yet this week, so once again my procrastinating has paid off! Go to the Walgreens website today (OR Text "HEART" to 21525) for a 15% OFF coupon to use on 2/12. This discount might seem small - but think of it this way:
Now Dove Mens Care will be $5.09 (instead of $5.99 ~ Get $5.99 RR Back- Use the $1.25 Q from the 2/7 P&G to pay only $3.84 ~ Get $5.99 RR BackMakes it a $2.15 Moneymaker!
Now Huggies will be $7.54 (instead of $8.99) ~ Get $3 RR Back- Use the $2/1 PRINT to pay only $5.74 ~ Get $3 RR BackMakes it $2.74 per pack!!
*NOTE: The 15% also affects store coupons. So the children's activity book coupons, for instance, will be 15% less of a discount. The 15% Q does NOT count towards the number of coupons you are using. You must take this to COSMETICS or PHOTO to use your discount coupon!

The way this drug store thing works blows my mind. I just CAN NOT wrap myself around it. So do I HAVE to buy the superpolygrip? I mean, I don't have dentures...no one I know does. Help!?
ReplyDeleteOh Lori- you need a hug! Don't stress out, really, you don't have to do these scenarios exactly, it was just an idea. The Poli-Grip was a good item to add so that you could make $2 of RR while only paying 70¢ out of pocket. It was added mostly just to make money. If you only want to buy the Huggies, just add 1 tiny filler so you can use both the $2 coupon & the $5 RR to pay for it.
ReplyDeleteDoes that help?

Hee hee - I did almost all of my Wags shopping this afternoon after our false alarm of "blizzard" alerts. I did pick up the Dove off the truck went it showed up this week, but other than a razor on Sunday - I didn't purchase anything else. I figured I would wait and do it during my grocery run...I am so glad I waited. I had to do a little refigure on the Vicks deal - but the "vicks" puffs counted toward the deal, so I just changed one of the boxes of regular puffs for one of these and still got my $10 RR. I really like their discount - they should do it more often. :D I guess that is their way of showing how much they love us this Valentine's Day weekend.
ReplyDeleteLori - don't give up. My mom is still struggling to get it and she goes with me every weekend. I will tell you what I tell her - start little with what you or your family will use. I started with ONLY what we would use until I understood how it worked - and it gave me a chance to get to know the Wags that is coupon friendly and which cashiers I like. Now I get whatever ends up being free or less than $1 even if we don't use it - because I add them to my monthy donation boxes. That way - I benefit in the money maker, but I share that gift with those that need it. For me - it's a matter of being able to give back - it costs my time and maybe a little of my $$ - but gives me so much more. Just try something small - Jamie encouraged me to jump into Rite Aid and I am still figuring it out - but I'll get it before too long. So - start small, and keep asking questions - we all help each other out. :D
