Walgreens, August 2, 2018

It's been over a year since I posted, but I was SUPER excited to go to Walgreens today because of the two coupons they sent to me (well, actually my card):  get 5000 points with a $25 purchase and get 7000 points with a $20 beauty club purchase.

I also love that coupons are mostly digital now. I got this deal with 0 physical coupons; they were all loaded electronically to my Walgreens card.

Regular price: $68.29
Sale price: $45.53
Out of pocket: $38.53 + $2.82 tax = $41.35
Earned: 30,227 points which (when considering 40k points = $50) = $37.78

Net cost = $41.35 - $37.78 = $3.57

Note: If I hadn't bought the cereal (curious) and the Comet (needed), the total would've been less than $1.




Coupons used:

  • $1 off Olay
  • $4 off  2 Crest
  • $2 off Tide

Points Earned details:

  • 450 everyday points earned
    • As part of ongoing promotion 100 points for every $1 spent (before coupons)
  • 5000 points for $25
  • 7000 points for $20 beauty/personal care items (Olay, Crest, and Yardley counted toward this)
  • 10000 points for spending $30 on P&G items (Olay, Crest, Tide counted toward this)
  • 5000 points for buying 10 Dawn/Puffs items
  • 2777 points earned for spending $27.77 toward beauty/personal care items (Olay, Crest, Yardley)
    • As part of the ongoing promotion of 50000 points earned for every $50 spent toward beauty club items.

Walgreens - April 2, 2017

I had to dust off my couponing skills since Walgreens printed a "5000 points when you spend $15" coupon for me the other day AND in my online account, I got a "7000 points when you spend $20" ecoupon.  That's basically $12 back when you spend $35. It's actually a bit more depending on how you redeem the points, but I'll keep it simple.

My baby vomited this morning, so I wanted the saltines and ginger ale for her.  Those were not on sale.  Yet, when combined with everything else, I ended up getting ALL of the items pictured for a net cost of $0.02.  Retail value of $48.75+tax.



Some of the points earned were due to beauty spending (5000 points earned for that) and for buying 2 Irish Spring products (5000 points earned for that).

CVS - October 6, 2016

I got $109 of product for a net cost of $1.18 this week!  That's right, over $100 of product for just over $1!!!!  Best deal I've gotten in a LONG time thanks to plenty of coupons CVS has been sending me.

I was glad to get the Herbal Essence conditioner my husband likes, plus some TRESemme, which I've never tried before.  I love the Axe pheonix products, so got those, plus some Kotex pads for cheap and some free mouthwash!  Our Dawn stash had gotten pretty low, so glad to get a couple of bottles.  My cousin tells me this Bai drink tastes good; we'll see.  Deodorant is useful.  Not sure I'll use all of that makeup as I have lots yet almost never wear any.

EDITED TO ADD: I actually profited because I earned $3 via SavingStar ($1 for the Axe body wash and $2 for the Right Guard Xtreme).  I didn't even remember activating those deals AND I didn't know that I'd automatically linked my CVS card (probably years ago) to SavingStar.

See the breakdown below.


At the beginning of the week, I had a 20% off [regular priced items] coupon.
After going to CVS for Trip 1, I received a $10 off $60 coupon, a 25% off regular priced items, and a $5 off $25 coupon (which I'm saving for next week).

CVS Planning for October 6, 2016

Hopefully I can find a CVS stocked with all the items I need to hit $60 in order to use the $10 off $60 coupon CVS gave me, along with the 25% off (regular priced items) and other CVS/mfr coupons.

Here is my Plan A and Plan B. Items in purple are the ones I actually want. The others are fillers to get me to $60.
