Just Can't Get Enough Walgreens

TOTAL FEBRUARY PROFIT $57.12
Rite Aid
  • Pert Plus for Men $4.19, used $1 coupon (1/25 SS) and will submit for Try Me Free rebate (must have sticker on bottle) = $1 profit
  • Suave body wash $2.49, used freebie coupon (from past offer, no longer available) - register took off $3 automatically (no beeps, cashier didn't even have to enter price of item) = $0.51 profit
  • Total was $3.15, paid with gift card from past rebate

Stop & Shop

  • S&S kaiser rolls clearanced to $1.25
  • 4 Shedd's Country Crock with calcium $1.99 each, used four $0.50 coupons (doubled to $1, 1/18 RP) = $3.98 or $0.99 each
  • Total was $5.16

Here's the deal with the Con Agra/Hunts Walgreens rebate. Each can normally runs for $0.99. They are on a Mega Saver sale price all month of $4 for 5 cans. But...if you buy four cans or less at a time, you'll pay $0.99 each and won't trigger the Mega Saver discount. The limit on the circular coupon is three, but its up to the cashier to enforce this limit. The registers will automatically take off the discount no matter how many you buy.

The rebate says spend $10, get back $5. The nice thing is that the $0.99 regular price is what counts towards your $10 total. So...if you buy four cans or less at a time and rinse and repeat until you have 11 cans total, your regular price total will be $10.89 so you'll qualify for the $5 rebate. And the great thing about this week is that they are on sale for $0.39 each with the in-circular coupon. So in actuality, you'll pay only $4.29 total for all 11 cans ($0.39 x 11) but still get back $5 as a rebate. Long story short - buy 4 cans or less at a time, rinse and repeat until you have 11 total, submit all your receipts and you'll qualify for the $5 rebate. I hope that helps answer your questions Roberta. :)

Walgreens - this store had tons of the Bic razors on clearance but they would only allow me to buy one razor and one pack of cartridges. Isn't the whole point of clearancing things to get them OUT of the store? Silly rabbits

  • Walgreens Headache Relief Extra Strength Quickgels (20 pack), will get back $3.28 ($2.99 + 10% bonus, ESR #3) = $0.29 profit

Suz,

To answer your question that you left on my blog, of course I know what to do with all those cans of sauce!

Open 6 cans of them along with a can of chicken broth. Place in your slow cooker with 2 bay leaves, italian seasoning(or a mixture of dried oregano and basil), a few shakes of pepper, a dash of hot sauce, and any veggies you have in your fridge chopped up. Let it go on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. You can add in pasta, leftover rice, or place some croutons on the bottom of a soup bowl and ladle the yumminess on top.

I think even you, who swears she can't cook, can make this goodness. And, since you are a cheese freak, sprinkle some of parm. cheese on top. Or, if your feeling crazy, cover the top of the soup with shredded mozzarella cheese and stir it in. Uh-Huh...you know what I'm talking about...instant pizza soup! It's even better with some chopped up turkey pepperoni!

Amiyrah,
Hmm, that sounds yummy! Although, you are assuming I actually have a crock pot...
