Yesterday I had to take advantage of the great deal at Walgreens that I shared with everyone yesterday! So here are my finds!
They had a $5 off of a $20 purchase. The glucose monitor was free because of a coupon. I bought the trash bags, the shampoo and conditioner, and the travel vaccuum bag. This is valued at 22.96. Because of the coupons I paid out of pocket 17.96. I will get a rebate for all of this for 25.26. That is a $7.30 profit!
This morning, I headed to both Kroger and Walgreens. My first stop was Kroger. I will tell you that being back in Tennessee was a shock to my system because I paid almost 10% sales tax on the original total...not on the total after coupons. OUCH! If I had bought all of this in VA, I would have paid less! I still got a great deal!
All of this has a value of 111.55. I paid only 25.18. That's not bad for a store that only doubles coupons up to 50 cents. That is a 77% savings! OH...and don't miss the silly face of the princess.
My final stop was Walgreens. I love Walgreens! They pay me to shop there!
I paid out of pocket 5.47 including tax for this and they will send me a rebate of $5.50. That is a 3 cent profit, but it's all still free!
Happy Savings!
