Cheap Diapers and More at Walgreens

It's been a good week for me at Walgreens. I got these packages of diapers for $2.50 each. Combining those with register rewards on other purchases, this trip cost me hardly anything. FYI on Walgreens couponing--you cannot use more coupons in a transaction than number of items you buy, so if you are planning on using register rewards and have coupons on all your items, you must get an additional item to use the register rewards (it acts like a coupon). Hence the reason I had to get the little pieces of candy in Transactions 2 and 4. Here is the breakdown (for simplicity's sake, I'm leaving out sales tax):

Transaction 1:

1. Colgate Total Advanced Toothpaste $3.49 - $0.75 MFG (SS 3/15) = $2.74

2. Get 3.49 register rewards on toothpaste purchase towards

my next transaction (essentially I made 0.75 on this purchase!)

Transaction 2:

1. Walgreens Diapers on sale for $4.50 - $2.00 Walgreens coupon* = $2.50

2. Oust Surface and Air Sanitizer for $2.99 - $2.00 MFG (SS 3/29) = $0.99
3. Carmel square for $0.35

4. Use $3.50 register rewards from transaction 1 on this purchase:

Total: 2.50 + 0.99 + 0.35 -3.50 = $0.34

Transaction 3:

1. Colgate Total Advanced Toothpaste $3.49 - $0.75 MFG (SS 3/15) = $2.74
2. Get 3.49 register rewards on toothpaste purchase towards
my next transaction (essentially I made 0.75 on this purchase!)

Transaction 4:

1. Walgreens Diapers on sale for $4.50 - $2.00 Walgreens coupon* = $2.50

2. Glade Lasting Impressions Kit $5.99 - $4.00 MFG (SS 3/29) = $1.99

3. Easter cream egg candy $0.39

4. Use $3.50 register rewards from transaction 1 on this purchase:

Total: 2.50 + 1.99 + 0.39 - 3.50 = 1.38

Grand total spent for the day = 2.74 + 0.34 + 2.74 + 1.38 = $7.20

But that's not all ... there is a $2 Walgreens rebate on the Glade and a $1 rebate on the Oust. Figuring that in, I essentially only spent $4.20 plus tax on all this stuff. I love days like this!

*To get the $2 Walgreens coupon on their diapers you need to go to the pharmacy counter and ask them for their "$50 in great savings book." The coupon is inside, and they usually don't take these ones from you when you use them, so you can use them again and again :)
