Walgreens 1/30 thru 2/5

With this blizzard on it's way, I decided to do ALL my weekly shopping yesterday.  I was tired by the end of the day!  I made it to two Wags stores, Hilander/Kroger, Sam's Club and Wal-mart - and I helped for an hour in my son's Kindergarten class.  WHEW - talk about exhausted! 

There's lots of good MM's and deals at Wags this week so lets get started:

With Valentine's Day just around the corner I have some "sweet" deals to report! Bags of Hershey's Mini's or Drops are on sale 2/$6.  In the 1/30 SS insert there's a manufacturer coupon for $2 off TWO bags.  There's also a Walgreens store coupon for $2.00 off TWO bags in the February monthly coupon booklet.  Stack those and that brings the price of these down to $1.00 a bag, and that's a great deal!  If the shelf is empty, look around the store.  I found some on hang pegs up by the registers too. 

My frugal pal Renea reported that she tried this Russell Stover Private Reserve candy deal and it worked out perfectly.  She used the $1 coupon from 12/12 S and got these candies for $1.24.  The boxes are actually ringing up $2.24 (regular $9.99) so with the coupon this is a STEAL!  If you are concerned that it won't ring up $2.24, just have a cashier price check before you buy. 

Next, here you can print a $1.00 off TWO Butterfinger Snackerz coupon.  These will ring up 2/$1.59.  Use the $1.00 off manufacturer coupon and stack that with the in-ad Butterfinger store coupon to turn this into a small MM.  Hand over the manufacturer coupon first which brings your cost down to .59 for TWO.  Then hand over the store coupon which will take off .82 for each TWO on your receipt.  Turns this into a .23 MM for each TWO that you purchase. 

If you were lucky enough to print the $2.00 off Cottonelle printables that were available at Common Sense With Money earlier in the week (no longer available) you have a really great deal on TP.  The Cottonelle 12 BIG roll packs are on sale for $5 this week.  Use that $2.00 off coupon stacked with the $1.00 off coupon from the new monthly coupon booklet and get 12 rolls for $2.00.  That comes out to .17 each double roll, well below my target price of .25 a roll.  Even though Cottonelle is my least favorite TP, for that price I will use it. 

There's an under-advertised MM this week that I want to share with you.  If you have the right coupons you can turn this product into a $5.01 MM for yourself.  The Neuragen is on sale right now for $14.99 each, with a $10 RR in return.  If you have the current Diabetes and You Wags Magazine there's a $10.00 off coupon in there for this product...you see where I am going with this!  If you don't have the magazine, there's still hope.  Read on....if you participated in the previous Neuragen MM that was with a MIR here back in November, you should have already received your rebate check and with that rebate check was a coupon for this product, you guessed it - $10.00 off!  See how your original MM deal can turn this into another great opportunity?  Neuragen, the manufacturer that keeps on giving!! :)

There's a few various other MM this week:

Arnicare Gel, $5.99 with a $6 RR in return.  Use this $2 printable which turns this into a MM.  This is a .pdf that doesn't expire until 2012 so save this one for future use!  (this coupon beeps, but the cashier should push it through)

Blink Tears, $7.99 with a $8 RR in return.  Use the $1 coupon from the 1/2 SS for another MM. 

Natrol Melatonin is again on sale for $3 with a $3 RR making them FREE.  Use the $2 coupon from the 10/10 RP to make $2 on this one.  There were also some coupons that were in previous boxes purchased, so check your other packages if you got in on this one before...another product that keeps on giving!

Icy Hot No-Mess Gels are on sale for $3.99 with a $3 RR in return.  Use the $1 coupon in the 1/30 SS to get these for FREE.  Note that the kids version is also part of this promo and these were located in the same area as the cold and cough medicines. 

There was a new $1.00 off ANY Vicks product coupon in the 1/30 PG insert to get you some more free Vicks drops.  These are usually up by the front registers. 

I needed a few fillers to roll some RR's this week so here's what I added into my transactions: 

* Green Giant canned veggies are .79 each with in-ad coupon, not the super best price, but when I use fillers I like them to be something that we will actually use.

* Van Camps Pork and Beans are 2/$1 with in-ad coupon.  Not the best beans but if you "doctor" them up with brown sugar, mustard, ketchup and garlic or onion powder they are pretty good!

* .99 Hallmark card (needed it)

* A-Jax powder cleaner is .33 each with in-ad coupon.
