Although given my usual experiences at Walgreens, maybe I’m the one who is nuts for shopping here.  Last time none of the UPCs or digital coupons scanned and shift mgr “explained” to me that some digital manufacturer coupons were only valid online (although she couldn’t point to any specific wording).  Same store that couldn’t tell the difference between Cash Rewards and Register Receipts.  But when you’re stuck with a store due to inventory issues.

Although Blue Diamond 16 oz almonds are on sale for $5.99 with a $1 digital coupon, the Nice brand for $4.99 lets you use one of the promo codes (WAG10 & FAST10) which makes it that much cheaper, so if you’re not tied to the name brand …

Also tossed in two Cheez-Its on a BOGO this week because FirstBorn and Squirmy are fans.  Yes, although FirstBorn buys his own junk food groceries and always grabs a few boxes, sometimes I like to surprise him.  Jewel often is out of the large box of original crackers (once he was stuck buying reduced fat; Squirmy took a nibble and dropped the cracker on the floor). Of course, the response will likely be “why would you buy more Cheez-Its?  I already have a box.” rather than thanks.  Squirmy, of course, sees nothing wrong with stockpiling 🙂

I was literally passing by Walgreens anyway, so why not stop in for some Old Spice body wash?  These are travel sizes but the $5/2 digital coupon works fine so why not get some for 58¢ plus tax?  Haven’t really had deals on Old Spice lately – at least not what I’d consider a deal.

I also scored an extra 250 points on the Fetch Rewards bonus spin – so 275 in total 🙂

 Total will be $12.99 before code and $1.99 after.  Choose highest possible resolution. Valid through May 23.  This code will not work with the APP.

I’ve scoured what I could, but this looks to be the best on offer at Walgreens this week – great if you need plastic bags or love the vitamins, but don’t see any Crest or Colgate promos.  Clipping all coupons and using promo code WAGS20 for 20% off Walgreens brand items will bring your subtotal down to $15+.  Bags and toilet paper are the best deals, although I’ve never used their fancy tp line.

As usual, Walgreens is a disappointment this week – picked up some Tom’s of Maine deodorant for 99¢ after $1 digital coupon and $3 cash Rewards, but they were completely out (didn’t even see a spot on pegboard) for the 30 ct floss pics that are on sale for a buck with a $1 digital coupon.  Used Rewards to pay and was soooo tempted to put the remaining 34¢ on Discover 🙂

You can buy either men or women varieties of Tom’s with the coupon and cash back promo – the men’s size is larger.

Buy two tubes of $3 Crest toothpaste.  Clip the $3/2; subtotal will be $3 plus tax and you’ll earn a $3 Register Rewards.  Pay with Wags Rewards and only shell out for high tax – I shelled out 42¢.  If you prefer another variety, you might end up spending more – – the $3 tubes are the cheapest varieties included in the deal.

Note I did not get the RR (I was actually looking for Cash Rewards, based on the checkout info) and have given up on trying to explain these things to the constant manager turnover.  While they’re always super nice about it, it’s too long to spend each time explaining what a RR is, the digital coupons and paying with Rewards.  I just called customer service and $3 was put into my account immediately.

  Total will be $3.99 before code and zero afterwards.  Always choose the highest possible resolution.

Get a holiday shot from Easter for free.  You just have to order it, not pick up immediately 🙂

Prefer Crest toothpaste and Oral-B toothbrushes?

I’ve done this Crest deal twice now, once with manual toothbrushes and today with toothpaste.  The manual toothbrushes were tagged Buy 3 get $5 in Register Rewards (the screen shows $4 W Cash); I bought four (one a clearance duo for only 80¢) and received a $4 RR.  In this transaction I had the screen shot (there were no tags on any shelves) showing the deal.  Bought two and received a $4 Register Reward.  Again, nowhere near as valuable as W Cash.  Each time I was told to keep the RR and had bonus points added to my account.  I like the bonus, but really wish Walgreens corporate would travel back to 2011 🙂

  Total will be $3.99 before code and zero afterwards.  Always choose the highest possible resolution.

This is a mix I made for photography class, combining a few shots.  Classmates agreed the lock looked more like a slab of Kerrygold butter 🙂
