Jewel was supposed to get my case of Dole Tropical Fruit jars last night – I know they were hoping I’d stick around yesterday and help unload the truck – staff budget cuts and all. Sorry, Charlie, Goddess might have been born at night…but it wasn’t last night! So the warehouse was out and I must return.
No Manishewitz broth (which is actually okay, ’cause they’ll order me a case or two) and when I checked out with my one lonely box of Morton kosher salt ($1.99 in today’s ad), it rang up at $2.99, which meant no cash changed hands.
Drove to 75th and Wherlli in Naperville to check out the new Walgreens and their Grand Opening Specials. Well, actually, I just wanted to use the $3/$10 store coupons on the ad wrap-around. Running AZO and Estroven in one transaction would push you over the top and make this deal even sweeter.
Puhlease – this store had zip, zero, zilch of any Register Reward items. The end caps were filled with stupid fluffy things; not one was devoted to any sale items. The aisles (from what I saw) had lots of spaces where RR items would be, if they had any RR items in stock. The busiest place in the store was the photo counter…where people were lined up to get refunds. And while he was nice, the Asst Mgr clearly had no idea what the RR items were. My verdict – FAIL! Not worth another trip.
Stopped back at the friendly Lisle Wags and took six Estroven and six AZO creams. You have two ways to run this: Buy one of each, use the two coupons and pay out about $10+ or buy one AZO with coupon and use the $5 RR with a filler to buy the Estroven. I’m tired of fillers, so just took the hit. It’s not like I won’t find something to buy with them!
Take the $10 Estroven RR you just got and roll it into a box of Wal-Zan 150, 65 ct box (85 bonus size works, too). There is something hinky with the RR, because normally they just mark it down a penny (Wal-Zan is $9.99), but it’s not working now, so get something cheap as a filler. Out pops an e-moviecash RR compliments of Walgreens Health. Go to the site, plug in your code and you will get a free movie ticket (up to $12). SWEET! Even if you don’t need/use Estroven or Wal-Zan, you are only paying $7 (plus filler) for the ticket, plus two freebies.
