Huggies wipes at Walgreens= 'El Cheapo!

My SIL gave me the heads up on this deal. Thanks Hannah!

I haven't been shopping Walgreens much since they did away with their Easy Saver Books. But this is a deal that I couldn't pass up.

At Walgreen's they have a coupon booklet/flyer with a bunch of coupons in it. It is orange and says on the front: Walgreens back 2 school coupon book. Over $50 in savings inside.
Inside that booklet is a $2 off coupon for Huggies Wipes 64 to 216 count. There are some manufacture coupons & home mailer coupons out there for .75 off and $1.00 off too.

Walgreens has the 64 count tubs priced at $2.99 (check your walgreens-they may have them priced differently)
So with the coupons, here's the breakdown:
$2.99
minus $2 Walgreens coupon
minus manufacture coupon (.75 or $1)
Total out of pocket would be: .25 or FREE!

I just went and paid .44 per tub using the .75 home mailer coupon. This includes sales tax.

S-A-W-EEEEET

Even if you don't have any manufacture coupons, $1 isn't a bad price.

*a couple of tips:
Give the cashier your manufacture coupon first and then the walgreens coupon. This should make your transaction run smoothly without any coupons beeping.

You should be able to use one walgreens coupon for multiple tubs of wipes. I don't think you need one coupon per tub.

**Note: I just bought 7 tubs and only had 3 manufacture coupons ($1 off, .75 off, & .50 off) I paid $6.11 for all 7 tubs. This includes sales tax. It ends up being .87 a tub. Not the best deal, but with a baby coming in 2 weeks, I know I will be needing them. So at .87 a tub, I can handle that price. I would have bought wipes anyways.

Recap of the last 2 days

I got $420.05 worth of groceries, and paid $43.59! Plus I got $15 in catalina's to spend on my next shopping trip.

Seriously, who ever thinks couponing is a waste of time.............is totally WRONG!

Had another great shopping trip at Albertson's this morning.

I got $245.36 in groceries and paid $28.63 out of pocket, plus I got $15 back in catalina's to spend on my next shopping trip. So it's really like paying $13.63 out of pocket.

Wahooooooo.
I got
21 boxes of cereal
8 bottles of All laundry detergent
9 bags of Chex Mix
4 bags of granola
2 jars of mayo
3 bottles of salad dressing
5 pouches of cookie mix
2 pouches of pasta

That's 58 items at .24 cents each.

The Best and Worst Shopping Trip EVER!

I went to Albertson's to get in on the All Small & Mighty Laundry Detergent deal (which doesn't start until tomorrow by the way). Gahhh!!! The ad was misleading. Since I was already there and couldn't get the detergent, I thought I would use my coupons and do their buy $30 worth of select items and get $15 in catalina's back.

I eneded up doing 3 different $30 transactions.

The Best part was, I spent $14.96 and got $174.69 worth of groceries. Plus I got $15 back in catalina's for future purchases. So it's basically like I got all this stuff for free because I had some catalina's to start off with.

I got:
4 jars of mayo
9 boxes of cereal
4 containers of butter
11 deoderant
10 shampoo/conditioner
6 brownie mixes
2 salad dressings
2 cereal bars
3 candy bars

I got 51 items for .29 cents a piece.

The worst part was, I had all 3 of my kids with me. Don't ask me what I was thinking. I should have just left. Three and a half hours later, I made it out of the store without killing any of them. It took forever.

4375 Q-tips

Last night I bought 4375 Q-tips (or 10 boxes) for $34, and I got $27 back in catalina's to spend on my next shopping trip.

That's 10 boxes for $7.

It's squeaky clean ears for the next 2 years all for $7 bucks!

*funny story:
The day before I came across this deal my husband says: I used a Q-tip brand q-tip the other day and it was Awesome! (I normally buy the Equate brand-cuz I'm frugal like that. It's not often that a good Q-tip deal comes up.) Anyway I found it ironic that he had just mentioned that Q-tip brand q-tips are so much more better than the generic brand and then I come home with 10 boxes of Q-tip brand q-tips the following day.
