On Friday there was a deal going on at Walgreens where you could use a $5.00 off your purchase of $20.00 or more coupon. So I did two transactions. First Transaction: Two Dr. Scholls Gel Insoles and two Nivea for Men Shaving Products. Before Coupons and sales tax: $30.00. After coupons $18.75. Paid with my Walgreens gift card so $0 out of pocket. Then the printer spit out $15.00 towards my next purchase. So basically the end result was that I paid $3.75 for those items.
Second Transaction: 2 Dove Shampoos, 2 Dove Conditioners, 1 Walgreens 60 count calcium creamies, 1 multi-betic vitamins. Before coupons and sales tax: $31.98. After coupons $19.75. Paid with the $15.00 above and then $4.75 on my Walgreens gift card, so $0 out of pocket. The printer spit out $5.00 towards my next purchase (from the Dove). Also, the multi-betic vitamins and calcium creamies are free after rebate this month, so I'll be getting $17.58 back on my Walgreens gift card at the end of the month from this transaction. So basically the end result was that I made $2.83 to take these items.
Overall, 92 cent loss on my Walgreens card to take home all of this stuff this past week. Not bad since the shampoo and conditioner will never get old and will get used, I expect to sell some of the other stuff either on Ebay, Amazon or a garage sale for more than that, and all of it came for $0 out of pocket actual cash.
Finally, a deal that I did with Cascade and other cleaning stuff several weeks back became even better this week. You see, when I purchased the items, I was supposed to get $20.00 off coupons, but only one $10.00 spit out. When I talked to the Walgreens people about it, they gave me paperwork to send in to get the other $10.00 by mail (apparently there was something wrong with the printer). I sent in my receipt and the paperwork and they sent me $20.00 towards my next Walgreens purchase instead of $10.00!! So, Walgreens was good to me this week.
