**update – this deal may be dead depending on where you live. check the your coupons. some areas received Trident coupons that are good only for 3packs which won’t work for this scenario.
Trident Gum is on sale for 2/$2.00 this month at Walgreens. And, you can actually get it for FREE PLUS get paid to take it home. I haven’t done this deal yet so let me know how it goes if you try! See below for the scenario:
Buy 9 packs of Trident Gum (18 pieces of pum/pk) on sale $1.00 each
Minus one $4.00/6 Trident Gum 8/08/10 SS Insert
Minus one $2.00/3 Trident Gum 8/08/10 SS Insert
Minus one $1.00/2 Trident Gum Walgreens Store coupon from September coupon booklet (you will find this by the ads) This will deduct $4.50
Total Due: FREE plus $1.50 Moneymaker (if your store allows)
**Make sure you purchase $1.50 worth of other items and give those items to the cashier first before you give the gum. Also – if your cashier does not allow the overage, they should adjust the coupon values down so that you get the gum for free w/o overage. Bring the Walgreens policy with you so that if there is a problem, you can show the cashier the part of the policy that states to adjust the value of the coupon down so that you receive the item for free.
Thanks Deal Finding Chik
Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
WOW…I know it’s a typo but you have to buy 66 packs of gum to get $4 off on the first coupon…LOL…I have more then that in a fridge from when our Albertsons was closing I bought all the sugar free gum…LOL My husband would kill me if I purchased any more gum…
EEK! I need to hire a proofreader and that typo is a sign that I’m done blogging for the night! Thanks for pointing it out Amanda!
Can you use 4 Walgreens $1/2 with the purchase of all of those gums, or does Walgreens not work that way?
Hi Carrie – great question! The register will automatically deduct $4.50 when you use just one of the $1.00/2 walgreens store coupons. Their registers are programmed to do that automatically.
how is it a 1.50 MM….wouldnt it only be a 1.00MM?
9 gums at 1.00each =$9
4/6Q-2/3Q-1/2(4Q)=10$
so only a 1$MM right?
so in a sense, will the computer deduct .50 off that odd ball 9th pack? Is that how we get the extra .50?
it will auto deduct .50 for each it doesn’t have to be in pairs, it can be in odd numbers.
I’m kind of confused about the Walgreens coupon thing. Does this mean that all Walgreens coupons adjust according the number of items you buy that qualify for the coupon? For example, if I buy 36 packs of gum instead of 9, do I still only need 1 Walgreens $1/2 coupon?
yes only one, wags coupons will automatic deduct .50 for each.
THIS DEAL DOES NOT WORK. I JUST TRIED IT. THE CASHIER POINTED OUT THAT THE COUPON IS FOR $4 OFF 6 3-PACK BAGS OF EITHER TRIDENT, DENTYNE OR STRIDE GUM.
So disappointed!
Yes, Cindy, I had the same thing happen 🙁 …. it is for 6 – 3packs
luvvvvv trident gum:D
