Walgreens Shopping, $126.89 Money Maker


Nature Made vitamins are a HUGE money maker today only, at Walgreens!  Deals from this week and next week (if your store activates early) are causing a double dip.

Nature Made $3/1 and $5/1 coupons are found in the winter/holiday edition of Diabetes and You magazine.  This is a FREE magazine that is found in some stores near the diabetes supplies or pharmacy.  If you don't see them, try asking at the pharmacy.

Here are the scenarios I did.

Walgreens: 6 Double Rolls of TP for just $1.25 per package


There's a nice "double dip" at Walgreens today!  Most stores activate their Sunday sales on Saturday.  When it overlaps with a sale going for the current week, it's a "double dip."  Through today, Nice! Toilet paper (6 double rolls) are 2/$5.  Starting tomorrow, they're buy 1, get 1 free.  Since these deals are overlapping at most stores today, it works out to Buy 1 at $2.50, get 1 FREE...or $1.25 per 6 double rolls!  That works out to just over 10 cents per single roll!

I ended up buying 20 packages.  I used 4 $4.50 Register Rewards, 10000 points, and just paid just $3.28 out of pocket.

(Thanks, Nancy of TheCouponCafe!)

Babies R Us Shopping, $4.82


A couple great deals to watch out for at Babies R Us!

1. Right now there is a promo on select BabyGantics items.  Save $3 when you buy 2.  Some stores have some trial sizes marked under a $1, so FREE when you buy 2.  (No overage, but no tax either!)  You can check the prices and make sure they're included in the promo by scanning them at a price scanner in the store.  I had to go to 3 stores to find them this cheap.  At some stores, they are more expensive.  Good luck!

2. My Babies R Us also had Halloween clothes, accessories, and costumes for 75% off.

Here's what I bought?

"My First Boo!" Onesie, Regular $12.99, 75% off clearance, $3.25
Halloween Bib, Regular Price $4.99, 75% off clearance, $1.25
6 BabyGantics Bed Bug Repellent (3.38 fl oz), $0.98 each
-$3/2 promo making them all FREE
4 BabyGantics Stain Stain Go Away Stain Remover (2 fl oz), $0.48 each
-$3/2 promo making them all FREE
26 BabyGantics The Grime Fighter All-Purpse Household Cleaner (2 fl oz), $0.48 each
-$3/2 promo making them all FREE
Subtotal: $4.50, Total: $4.82

Even better, I paid using part of a $10 gift card I got for free when I created a baby registry at Babies R Us...so really I got everything for FREE!

(Thanks, Lori of couPWNing!)
