I rarely shop at Walgreens anymore as their deals got really complicated when they introduced their points system along with register rewards and their customer cards. But I earn $1 a month at Walgreens with walking steps counted on my FitBit and had recently got an email that I could redeem $5 there. Yes, walking is good for you but you won't get rich doing it.
Then I read about this Purex B1G2free with some printable coupons so here is how I did.
6 bags of Purex 18 count laundry detergent - just $4.04 after sale price, coupons and rewards redemption.
CVS
Mitchum was $1.99 and I had $1 coupons on each
Ajax was 88 cents minus the 39 cent coupon I got at the scanner
Razor blades were $10.49 and I had 2 $3 coupons- I needed to spend at least $25 to get a $10 ECB - so I bought 3 even though I did not a coupon for every one.
I had a $10 ECB from last week and I got a $3.50 ECB at the scanner.
I always scan my CVS card when I enter the store for the print out coupons and deals.
Total spent $14.44 and I am got back another $10 ECB for my next shopping trip.
I don't shop at Walgreens very much either. Plus there prices went up quite a bit here. Great job on your bargain shopping. I love when I can work a deal like that.
ReplyDeleteNice deals Rhonda. I think CVS has the best deals. I just wish it was closer to me.
ReplyDeleteOur CVS is only a year or so old and our town is not huge, CVS is only 4 miles from our home. Makes it nice and I am really thankful.
DeleteI use to shop at Walgreen weekly but like you I think things became a little complicated. I decided that the savings wasn't worth the hassle. Great deal on the detergent!
ReplyDeleteI love those detergent pacs. They make doing laundry so much more convenient. Thanks for sharing your deals.
ReplyDeleteI'd say that was well worth it! I agree about the complicated stuff...I looked into it a while back and decided not to even start.
ReplyDeleteGood job on your bargain shopping! I used to shop at all 3 drugstores back in the day and CVS is still my favorite! However, the closest CVS is on the other side of town so I do Rite Aid deals a couple times per month when they have something we use at a great price. Rite Aid is on my way to other places so it makes sense to shop there!
ReplyDeleteLast week I got free toothbrushes after UP rewards and this week I used $6 rewards and got 2 dish soaps, 3 rolls paper towels and a bottle of Shout for less than $2 out of pocket plus $1 UP rewards.
Great deals Mary Ann. I don't think Rite Aid is even in my state yet. I try to do my errands together or when I have other things to do and add errands to the trip. My town is not big though.
DeleteWhen I worked at the other branch and would go home through town I passed a Wal-Greens and CVS. (there is a road, burger place and alley between them) I had gotten their cards but now I rarely go. I really should look into their deals tho. You get such good ones!
ReplyDeleteGreat deals, Rhonda - especially on the Purex!
ReplyDeleteWow, way to go. You are a triple winner today as you won my BLOG CANDY for the week, need your address so I can get it in the mail!!
ReplyDeleteYou did great with your bargain shopping Rhonda! I haven't been doing my usual CVS deals lately. Have $10 EB in my pocketbook that I gotta use before it expires. Probably get some diapers.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, there are diaper deals the next 2 weeks at CVS, hope you do one them. I like those $10 ECBs , they make it worth the effort.
DeleteYou really keep track of everything and these deals are great! :)
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and I love it! I have been reading over past posts and I love your theme. I operate on the same principle....everyday I make sure to do things and I always feel great knowing they are getting done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Shara and nice to met you too. Thank you for such a lovely compliment.
