I stopped at the Walgreens across from HEB today and noticed a shopping cart full of toys marked down 75%. Even if you do not live in San Angelo, you will probably be finding a lot of summer toys clearanced, so it's always a good idea to keep your eyes open when you are out shopping.
Some of the highlights include:
Soccer Balls $2.37
Zhu Zhu Pets $2.49 to $4.69
Monster Trucks $1.74
Littlest Pet Shop Toys $1.49
Barbies $1.99
Christmas is less than three months away, so you might consider picking up a few gifts for kids on your list. Don't forget that there are so many organizations that you can donate gifts to during the Christmas season. It's always better to pick these items up when they are on sale...you can save more and at the same time be able to give more gifts.

Walgreens--Changes in Coupon Policy
I stopped in at Walgreens (across from HEB) today, and it seems like there are several changes in regards to coupons/Register Rewards that I thought you should be aware of.
Please note that this concerns the Walgreens in San Angelo, TX. I know that many Walgreens in other cities/states are not changing their policies. I am not sure if different store managers are allowed to tweak the coupon policies as they see fit, but as customers, we always need to do our part to follow the policies at the stores we shop at. Also, please be advised that things can change at a moment's notice. It seems what is accepted one day, may not be accepted the next day. Always talk to your cashiers/managers so you can be up to date on any changes that have occurred.
First of all:
Walgreens is AGAIN no longer accepting manufacturer's coupons with the coupons in the monthly Walgreens coupon book. They are now considering these to be manufacturer's coupons, so they will NOT stack them. This is not the case in the majority of Walgreens, but something that the manager on duty told me is our local store's policy. They will continue to stack manufacturer's coupons with the in ad weekly coupons, but NOT with the monthly coupon book
Secondly:
At Walgreens it has always been the policy that you can't have more manufacturer's coupons than products. This can be an issue since Register Rewards are manufacturer's coupons and count in your coupon total. It used to be the case that if you purchased TWO products and had a coupon for $1.00 off 2 products, you would still be able to use one Register Reward...two coupons, two products. Now they have changed this. If you have one coupon that states $1.00 off 2 products, this coupon will attach to TWO products...if you want to use a Register Reward you will need to get a filler item. You can no longer just count your manufacturer's coupons and Register Rewards and make sure you have an equal number of products in your purchase. You must read the wording on all the coupons. If you have ONE coupon that is for $1.00 off 2...this ONE coupon now counts towards TWO items, not the normal ONE that it would before in the coupon to item ratio.
I know all of this is a little confusing, so please let me know if you have any quesions or need me to clarify.
Again, please remember that this is for the Walgreens in San Angelo (specifically the one across from HEB). You will need to check at the Walgreens that you regularly shop at to see if there have been any changes you need to be made aware of.

FREE (After Rewards) Razors Beginning September 25th!
Go here and print the coupons seen above. (I found these using zip code 76904 and clicking on the Personal Care Category). These are VERY high value coupons and I can almost guarantee that they will not be available to print for too long.
You'll want to hold onto these coupons until next week. Beginning on Sunday, September 25th, you'll be able to use these coupons to get razors for FREE after rewards.
CVS:
Schick Quattro for Women Razor or Cartridges $8.99
-use $5.00 coupon
Final Price: Pay $3.99 and receive a $4.00 Extra Care Buck (limit one)
Walgreens:
Schick Quattro Razor $8.99
-use $5.00 coupon
Final Price: Pay $3.99 and receive a $5.00 Register Reward
These deals do not begin until September 25th, but if you wait to print the coupons until the sale starts then there is a good possibility that they will no longer be available to print. If you are interested in these deals, then please print now.
Campbell's Soup--$0.65 a can
There is an in ad coupon in the Walgreens ad this week that makes Campbell's Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Chicken Soup only $0.79.
You can combine this in ad coupon with an additional manufacturer's coupon to get yourself and pretty good deal.
3 Campbell's Cream of Mushroom or Cream of Chicken Soup ($2.37)
-use coupon for $0.40 off 3 Campbell's Condensed Soups (found here) (found using zip code 76904 and clicking on Foods Category)
Final Price: $1.97 for 3 cans (or $0.66 each)
This is the lowest price I have seen on this product in awhile, so I would not be surprised if Walgreens has already sold out of this product. If you go to Walgreens and find that they are out, you can always ask for a rain check or price match at Wal-Mart.

ZarBee's Coupon--Moneymaker at Walgreens Week of September 25
Go here and print a coupon for $1.00 off any ZarBee's product. (I found this coupon using zip code 76904 and clicking on the Health Care Category).
Next week (beginning September 25th) Walgreens is supposed to be having a Register Reward on ZarBee's cough medicine.
The deal will look like this:
ZarBee's Nighttime Cough and Sleep Drink $5.99 and receive a $6.00 Register Reward
-use coupon for $1.00 off ZarBee's
Final Price: Pay $4.99 and receive a $6.00 Register Reward
It is now officially fall, so we should be seeing a lot of deals on cough/cold medicines and Kleenex at the drug stores. When they have these deals, think about stocking up on enough products to get your family through the year...be mindful of expiration dates and please do not clear the shelves. We will see plenty of sales over the coming weeks. Nothing is worse than being sick, or having sick children, and having to go out to the store to pick up medicine. Think ahead, watch the sales, and then when your family gets sick, you'll be able to go and grab medicine you already have on hand.
Thanks Wild for Wags!

More Coupons for $0.49 Chex Mix and Bugles
Walgreens has select snacks on sale for $0.99 this week. I already posted several different coupons you could use to get a bag of these snacks for $0.49, but I found a couple more coupons.
Go here to print the following coupons:
$1.00 off 2 Chex Mix
$1.00 off 2 Bugles.
I was at Walgreens yesterday and they were already completely sold out of this. I ended up taking my ad to Wal-Mart, and I was able to price match with no problem at all. If you don't feel comfortable price matching, you can always ask for a rain check at Walgreens.
This is the perfect time to stock up on these!

Getting Started at Walgreens this Week
Walgreens is definitely the most confusing of all the stores, but with a little work you can save a LOT of money.
For those of you just starting out, I will try to walk you through two transactions that will get you started rolling Register Rewards at Walgreens.
Transaction #1:
Buy 3 Gillette Body Washes $10.00
Buy 3 Gillete Deodorant $4.99 each (approximate price)
-use 3 coupons for Buy 1 Gillette Body Wash Get Deodorant Free (found in 5/1 Proctor and Gamble insert)
-use 3 coupons for $2.00 off Gillette Body Wash (found in 5/15 RedPlum insert)
Final Price: Pay $4.00 and receive a $3.00 Register Reward
Transaction #2:
Buy 2 Softsoap Body Wash $3.00 each
-use $3.00 Register Reward from Transaction #1
Final Price: Pay $3.00 and Receive a $4.00 Register Reward
After both of these transactions you will have spent $7.00 on 5 body washes and 3 sticks of deodorant, but you will still have a $4.00 Register Reward to use on your next trip to Walgreens.
If you do these transactions and the transactions I listed for CVS, then you'll end up with 5 body washes and 6 sticks of deodorant for right at $10.00...and you'll have $6.00 in store rewards to use next week...that is a GREAT start to a stockpile!!

Walgreens-Reach Toothbrush Deal
Walgreens has a Register Rewards deal this week for Listerine and Reach Toothbrushes/Floss:
Buy 2 for $6.00 and Receive a $2.00 Register Reward
I wasn't planning on doing this deal, but I changed my mind when I went to Walgreens today.
I went to the Walgreens across from HEB, and I found $2.00 peelie coupons on the Reach toothbrush twin packs.
The deal looks like this:
Buy 2 Reach Twin Packs $6.00
-use 2 peelie coupons for $2.00 off
Final Price: Pay $2.00 for 4 toothbrushes and receive a $2.00 Register Reward
(If you are starting out with Register Rewards then this deal is even better).
I was at Walgreens around 2:45 this afternoon, and they still had quite a few of the twin packs of toothbrushes with peelie coupons on them. I am guessing these will go quick, so if you are interested in this deal then I'd hurry over there. Hope you guys are able to find the same deal!
While you are at Walgreens you might consider doing this deal as well:
BUY 2 Colgate Total Toothpaste $6.00 and receive a $4.00 Register Reward
-use 2 coupons for $0.75 off Colgate Toothpaste (found in 5/1 SmartSource insert)

Even More FREE Candy
Go here and Like Peeps on Facebook and you'll be able to print a coupon for $1.00 off any 2 Peeps Chocolate Items.
Walgreens has an in ad coupon for these that will make them 2 for $1.00. After using the coupon, you'll be able to get two for FREE!!
Do y'all like Peeps? I've never tried one (plain or chocolate covered), but in my opinion they might be the most unappealing candy I've ever seen. :)
Another Candy Deal at Walgreens
With all the deals that we've seen on candy over the last couple of weeks I am hoping that you are well stocked for Easter baskets. Here's another GREAT deal that I found at Walgreens.
On the back of the Walgreens ad is an in ad coupon that will make Mars and Dove individual candy each $0.39. That in itself is a pretty good deal, but of course the deal gets better.
A couple of deal scenarios:
Buy 3 Dove Candy Bars $0.39 (with in ad coupon)
-use coupon for $1.00 off 3 Dove bars (found in 3/6 RedPlum insert)
Final Price: $0.17 for all 3 candy bars (around $0.05 each)
BUY 3 Snickers Peanut Butter Squared
-use coupon for Buy 2 select Snickers, Dove, M&Ms Peanut Butter Candy get one FREE (found in 3/27 RedPlum insert)
The Snickers Squared are regularly priced at $0.89
IF you hand the cashier the manufacturer's coupon BEFORE the in ad coupon, then the full $0.89 will be taken off for the candy you get FREE
Final Price: $0.28 for all 3 candy bars (around $0.09 each)
These would make GREAT filler items if you are needing some extra items for your coupon to item ratio!!

Easter Candy Galore!
It seems like every year when I am buying candy for Easter baskets/Christmas stockings I am just blown away by how much candy costs. I went to Walgreens today to see if I could find any good deals to fill up Easter baskets. I was able to purchase everything below, and I spent...
$0.60...and for those of you with no Register Rewards, I did it using zero Register Rewards.
I purchased:
1 Easter Egg filled with M&Ms/Snickers $0.75
1 Snickers Creme Filled Egg $0.29
-used coupon for $1.00 off 2 Mars Easter Candy (found in 3/20 and 4/10 RedPlum inserts)
Final Price: $0.04 for both
After using the coupons, I ended up paying $0.02 for each piece of candy...a definite STOCK UP price. I had quite a few coupons...some from the newspapers (purchased and given to me) and some from printable coupons (no longer available).
Note...I did this in 3 different transactions. There is a limit of 6 Snickers Creme Eggs priced at $0.29 per transaction, so I had to break up my trip.
I went to the Walgreens across from HEB, and they had a large supply of candy. This sale will go through Saturday night, so if you are interested you might want to head over there.

Stretching a Dollar at the Drug Stores
I wasn't planning on doing any deals at CVS or Walgreens this week, but when I was out running errands I noticed that I had Extra Care Bucks and Register Rewards that were expiring today. Instead of letting them go to waste, I decided to make a quick trip to both stores and see what I could pick up. I hadn't had a chance to look through any of the ads and I didn't have very many coupons with me. I think I still did a pretty good job rolling my rewards.
First Stop was Walgreens:
I bought everything pictured below and spent:
$0.97.
Colgate Toothpaste $2.99 (Receive a $3.00 Register Reward)
-I didn't have any coupons for this with me, but there is a coupon for $0.35 off Colgate in the 4/3 SmartSource insert.
Tampax Pearl $6.99 (Receive a $2.00 Register Reward)
-I used a coupon for $1.00 off Tampax Pearl. There is a coupon for $2.00 off Tampax Pearl that can be found in the 4/3 Proctor and Gamble insert that would make this an even better deal.
Gillette Fusion Razor $9.99 (Receive a $4.00 Register Reward)
-I used a coupon for $5.00 off Gillette Fusion that I had from a Proctor and Gamble coupon booklet that was mailed to me.
I also purchased 3 bags of M&Ms for $0.33 each that I used as filler items.
I paid with $14.00 in Register Rewards and received $9.00 in Register Rewards.
Second Stop was CVS:
I bought everything pictured below and spent:
$0.96
2 Right Guard Body Washes $3.88 each (Received $3.00 Extra Care Buck)
-I used coupon for Buy one Right Guard product get one FREE (found in 3/13 RedPlum insert)
2 GUM Flossers $2.00 each (Received $2.00 Extra Care Buck for each one I purchased)
8 Snickers Easter Eggs $0.50 each
-I used 4 coupons for $1.00 off 2 Select Mars Easter Candy (found in 3/20 RedPlum insert) (Yes, I realize there are only 7 pictured. I just MAY have eaten one as a snack. :)
I paid with $6.99 in Extra Care Bucks, and received $7.00 in Extra Care Bucks.
There are a lot of other GREAT deals at CVS this week, but I was happy with the deals I did. I was shopping with a tired 4 year old and with a limited supply of coupons. My main goal was to pick up items that we use in our family and to roll my rewards.
Whoever says a dollar can't buy you anything any more clearly does not use coupons and does not shop at drug stores. :)

Walgreens Trip (January 20)
I went for my weekly Walgreens trip today. I started off this trip with a $10.00 register reward from doing the Vicks deal last week, and a $3.50 Register Reward from doing the Nature Valley deal a couple of weeks ago. I bought everything pictured below and spent...
$4.93, and saved $157.88! (No one in their right mind would spend $150.00 on what is pictured above...that is insane! It goes to show that stores really do mark up their prices, and if you don't shop the sales you will be WAY over paying!) I left the store with $17.00 in Register Rewards.
I did this trip in several different transactions so that I'd be able to roll my Register Rewards from deal to deal. My out of pocket should have been a little lower, but I was shopping with a wonderful 3 year old helper who had me a little distracted. :)
Since it is the end of the week, I won't break down my exact transactions. I will list the coupons that I used and what products generated Register Rewards.
Joint Juice on sale for $10.00
(There's a coupon for $1.00 off Joint Juice.(found here)I didn't find this coupon until after I got home from Walgreens though.)
-generated $10.00 Register Reward
Full Fast Appetite Control on sale for $10.00
-generated $10.00 Register Reward
Thermacare $2.50
-used coupon for $1.00 off (found here)
-generated $2.50 Register Reward
2 Pantene Hairspray on sale for $3.50 each
-used coupon for $3.00 off 2 Pantene products (found in 12/26 Proctor and Gamble insert)
-generated $2.00 Register Reward when you buy 2 Pantene products
Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razors $9.99
-used coupon for $4.00 off Gillette Fusion (found in 12/26 Proctor and Gamble insert)
-generated $5.00 Register Reward
Breathe Right Strips $5.99
-used 3 coupons for FREE Breathe Right (I received these as a catalina coupon from Walgreens earlier this month)
Extra Gum
-used in ad coupon to pay $0.50 (used as filler item)
Snickers candy bar (Not pictured...I just may have eaten it while waiting in a long line of cars to pick my boys up from school. :)
-used in ad coupon to pay $0.49 (used as filler item)
Christmas Pencil on sale for $0.09 (used as filler item)
Walgreens receipts calculate savings based on regular prices...not on sale prices. I guess that is why the savings adds up to over $150.00. I have to say that anyone who would spend that amount on what I bought today has got WAY to much extra cash! :)

CVS and Walgreens Trips (November 26)
I think I might be one of the only avid coupon shoppers that did not wake up in the wee hours of the morning to hit the Black Friday Sales. I know of several people who didn't even make it to bed last night; they were at the stores last night and continued shopping until late morning/early afternoon. I looked through the ads, but I really didn't see anything that was worth traipsing around town in the middle of the night for...not to mention the freezing temperatures. I did manage to make a run to CVS and Walgreens this afternoon, and I got some AMAZING deals, and to make it even better...the stores were almost empty. I don't know if people stopped there earlier in the day, or if they didn't think that CVS and Walgreens would have anything worth buying. This is a GREAT time of year to stock up on toiletries at little to no cost to you!! If you are new to couponing, this is the time to start your stockpile!!
I bought everything pictured below and spent...
$3.21, and saved over $150.00
I bought:
6 Herbal Essence Shampoo
2 Gillette Deodorant
1 L.A. Looks Hair Gel
5 Dr. Pepper (2 liter)
2 Oil of Olay Body Wash
1 Eucerin Body Lotion
2 Secret Body Spray
2 Colgate Total
2 Colgate Sensitive
1 Crest Vivid 3D
2 Listerine Pocket Packs
7 Oral B Toothbrushes
7 Gum Flossers
5 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
5 Mars Candy (King Size)
2 Mars Candy (Regular Size)
6 Christmas Candy Sticks
1 Caramel
1 Excedrin Migraine
1 Carmex Lip Balm
I did multiple transactions since there were so few people in the stores. I would do a transaction, get my Register Reward or Extra Care Buck and then roll it into the next transaction. I started with $2.00 in Extra Care Bucks, and $8.00 in Register Rewards.
After my trip today, I left CVS with $3.18 in Extra Care Bucks and Walgreens with $23.96 in Register Rewards. I'd say it definitely was a successful shopping day!!
The Walgreens and CVS Black Friday sales are good through tomorrow (Saturday) so if you haven't taken advantage of them I'd really encourage you to get out there and save some BIG money on your toiletry items. Remember to save the most money you need to do multiple transactions and use the Register Rewards and Extra Care Bucks that you earn to pay for your next transaction!
