Walgreens Scenarios 7/17/11 – 7/22/11

This may be a good week to take off from Walgreens. Unfortunately, I am really not seeing any fantastic deals. This post includes specific items you can purchase and coupons that you can use to maximize your dollar AND your Register Rewards at Walgreens. If you have Register Rewards to use, that will give you more options. The goal of this post is to help you get an idea on how to roll your RRs from one week to the next. Please also know that these transactions do not take into account tax. Every state taxes differently so you may need to budget a little extra to cover tax.

To see this week’s Walgreens Weekly Ad and Coupon Matchups, go HERE.

Transaction #1

Buy one Schick Disposable Razors, $5.99 (you will receive $2 RR)
Minus one $1/1 Schick Disposable Razor Package 7/17/2011 SS Insert (exp 8/28/2011)
If you have RRs from last week use them here to save even more! Make sure to purchase a filler item if you do!
Total Due: $4.99 (without RRs)
Receive: $2 RR

Transaction #2

Buy two Colgate Total Advanced Toothpaste, 2/$4 (you will receive $1 RR)
Buy one Splash Mini Highlighter, $.09
Minus two $0.50/1 Colgate Toothpaste 7/10/2011 SS Insert (exp 7/30/2011)
Minus $2 RR from Transaction #1
Total Due: $1.09
Receive: $1 RR

Total Out of Pocket: $6.08 (if you use RRs from last week, definitely use them in the first transaction to bring this amount down.)
Product Worth: $10.08 + tax (definitely not a huge savings without RRs to start with so I would say wait for better deals to come next week)

**Don’t forget that Register Rewards expire very quickly and if you let them expire, you are basically throwing away money. If you are concerned you will let them expire, I would put your RRs towards paper products like toilet paper and paper towels which are hard to get dirt cheap!
