Checking through Coupons.com, many of the earlier ones have dropped off the face of the earth.  Best ones I see are the $4 Scrubbing Bubbles for the One Step toilet cleaner deal at Walgreens (8.99 less $4 less $2 RR = $2.99.  This coupon was also in Sunday’s inserts, but it never hurts to have more, right?  Remember, on this type of product, you will never get a cheaper price on the refills (unless it’s a clearance item), so we just keep buying new.

I’d print out the BOGO on the Stim-U-dents, since it would be sweet with a BOGO sale, wouldn’t it?  Great.  Now I’ve gone from posting about actual deals to posting about pipe dreams…

I read elsewhere about coupon stacking with the $2 RR deal that just started today at Walgreens:  $8.99 less the $3 mfr coupon (9/11 S) and $2 Wags coupon (7/24 S).  Heck, I even planned on using the $2 code from the Infant Care Book for a home run out the ballpark…it was not to be.  The 7/24 coupon only works on the boxed sizes of diapers.  I don’t even think they had the Little Movers – Slip ons back when the coupon came out.  So, while you could probably get the cashier to force one or even two packages, forcing 20 to get a stock-up price won’t cut it.

So without being able to use the Wags coupon and the Infant Care book code, you are looking at a good (maybe even a very good) price for these:  $8.99 less the $3 mfr coupon from 9/11 S and a $2 RR, for a final price of $3.99.   If you have Colgate RRs or other ones you want to roll, the deal might look sweeter.  Your call…

Walgreens has a promo code for $5 off any photo gift of $5 or more.  What does this mean?  FREE STUFF!  Use promo code 5OFFANY on magnets, mouse pads, etc.  Best of all, you get 9% cash back with ShopAtHome on photo items – 7% on everything else.

Scroll down the page of coupons; it’s just after the deal on 4×6 prints.

Rolling more of the Estroven RRs into the blood glucose meters.  The .18 tax was paid by that lovely gift card from the other day…

This is my final trip to Wags for the Osteo.  12 bottles, 1 Hartz training pads (aka pee pads), 14 boxes of Kleenex and Playtex rubber gloves.  Total was just under $5 — all tax!

For those of you who asked, no, Wags has not done anything with the system, so this is definitely a ymmv situation.  In point of fact, we rang this up twice – the first time only 8 IVC coupons came off.  Second time all twelve did.  My feeling is that the system is experiencing a nervous breakdown.  At least all the employees are great about it.

With many apologies:  Once again I relied on someone’s figures about this great deal without actually hitting the store – each time it messes up.  Jackie points out that no Wags in the known universe sells diapers for this price originally.  However, the bottom line price of about $4.50 for the jumbo pack would be what I’d call decent enough for an RR burning.

If you’re trying to burn some Estroven RRs and you want/need diapers (even as an emergency stash) and can’t find/don’t want to roll the RRs into the blood glucose meters and agree that Jewel sucks donkey balls this week, have I got a deal for you.  The B1G 50% Wags brand deal that is running through 9/24 includes diapers.

Here’s the math:  Buy two of the jumbo packs at $6.99 each.  $3.50 will automatically come off ($10.49/2).  Use code 2844 from the Infant Care Booklet to take another $2 off each package ($6.49/2) and you’re at about $3.25 package.

If you live near the two Lisle Wags and have a Lisle Public Library card, you can get an additional 20% discount by flashing that card.  This discount comes off at the beginning, so your numbers would end at about $2.20 each jumbo pack.

Lo and behold – a Wags across the parking lot from Food4Less!  And five of the blood glucose meters on sale with the $10 RR.  Took all five, handed over a $10 Estroven RR and .18 for tax.  For less than a buck I’ve extended my shopping window – now let’s hope they have some good deals within the next two weeks.

If you’re wondering why I didn’t buy them in Lisle with the 15% Library promotion, the fact is that 1) they don’t have any (my bad) and 2) it’s a lot easier to just roll the damned things (and it’s not like I don’t have more).

Okay, so they’re not “candy” per se, but they’re not too far removed from it either.  Vick cough drops are sold at Walgreens, although you’d be hard-pressed to find them there.  Check by the Hall’s/Riccola drops and cough syrup, then look up in the overstock section or the checkout lanes.  Yeah, been there, done that.  If you do find some, you’ve scored as many free as you have coupons.  Moi?  Well, I could take a couple of cases, but don’t need any – hell, I’ve still got some from last year!  How do you get them?  The September P&G insert has a buck coupon for any Vicks product.  Get that?  ANY!  Which means that the Vicks cough drops, which are priced at .99 each, are FREE!
