Shopping was pretty fun today! I am still on the hunt for the Free Colgate Optic White Rinse (we have all week to find three!) since they had none in the 8 oz size at three of the Walgreens stores I visited and only one at the fourth. Bummer! Also, have any of you found the free Planters Nutrition Bags? Each and every Walgreens that I visited today told me that they never got a shipment. These were all in the Chicagoland area, so did you find any near you?
This was another week of picking up items that we use frequently in my household, so I spent a little more than I normally would. That being said, I’m now good with granola bars and grape jelly (my son’s new PB&J sandwich addiction) for awhile! Here’s what I did:
Walgreens
1 Neilmed Neti Pot $9.99 (Used $7 from 8/18 RP AND $4 from Walgreens Sept coupon booklet – adjusted to $2.99)
2 Garnier Fructis Hair Care $3.49 each (Used 2 $1.50 from 8/11 RP – the third was an artistic addition from my daughter and something we already owned. LOL DO NOT BUY IT!! You need to buy in multiples of 2 for this deal.)
4 Nature Valley Boxes 2/$5 (Used $1/2 from Walgreens Sept booklet and 2 $1.10/2 from Pillsbury and Betty Crocker)
2 Welch’s Grape Jelly 2/$4 w/in-ad coupon (Used 2 $1/2 from 7/28 RP)
Paid $12.78 plus tax, Got 3,000 points from Garnier wyb 2
Final Price: $9.78
CVS
3 Dentyne Ice Gum 2/$2 (Used $1/3 from 8/11 SS)
2 Mitchum Deodorant $1.99 each (Used 2 $1 from 8/18 SS)
2 Colgate MaxFresh Toothpaste $2.99 each (Used 2 $1 from 9/8 SS)
1 CVS Probiotic 15 ct $9.99
Used $16.99 in ECB from previous weeks
Paid $.96 plus tax, Got $9.99 ECB from CVS Probiotic AND $4 ECB from Colgate Toothpastes
Final Price: $3.96
All in all I spent $13.75, but the items I splurged on (mainly the granola bars and jelly) are things we use regularly. I also got the Mitchum as a gift for my mother (her favorite brand) because I like to spread the wealth when I can. Hopefully this gives you some ideas of what you can do!
