Couple of rolling scenarios, which obviously depend on stores getting more than one or two sale items on the truck…

I like the roll between points and RRs for the bausch & lomb re-nu contact lens solution and Durex massage & play aloe vera lubricant, both at $7.99.  Start off with the Durex using points to buy (why put out cash?) or an old RR you have hanging around from prior weeks.  Take that $7.99 RR and roll into the re-nu, also at $7.99.  Since there’s a $2 re-nu coupon, you’ll need a few fillers.  Lots here, including Starbucks Refreshers at $1 with a $1 RR, eggs, Butterball turkey bacon (there’s a $1 coupon but you have to do the like thing), Sunny Smile toilet paper… $2 is a very nice cushion.

Don’t know if anyone reported thus yet, so here goes:

Found this booklet at the cosmetics counter at  Walgreens:  Get Ready for Summer/Save now and earn 5,000 points!Purchase $20 of participating Schick Hydro & Skintimate products between 6/30/13 and 7/27/13 to earn 5,000 points.

Included are 5 MQs good only at Walgreens:  $3/1 Schick Hydro 5 Razor; $3/1 Schick Hydro Silk Razor; $2/1 Schick Hydro 5 or Schick Hydro Silk Disposable Pack; 50c/1 Schick Hydro Shave Gel;and 50c/1 Skintimate Shave Gel or Shave Cremes (excludes 2.75 oz.)

All Qs expire 9/27/13.

So we grab as many as we can, hold and wait for a really good sale with RRs

Listen, I had zero intention of shopping at Walgreens any more this week, but then PITA “found” one of those $5/$20 store cats. There’s no way I can turn down a $5 bill (and that’s just the way I look upon it).

Picked up four Pharzyme ($5.29), two Colgate and two Crest Pro-Health plus a clearance pack of Extra gum @ $1.09.  Used four $2 Phazyme coupons, the $3 Phazyme IVC (which takes off $3 from each), two Colgate $2 coupons and one $7 RR.   Total came to $1.45 and I got back a $4 RR from the Crest and 2,000 points from the Colgate.

Not a money-maker, but if these are products that your family uses and/or can’t live without, pick them up at Walgreens this week on the cheap:

PhaZyme gas relief is $5.29 (!) a box.  Stack the $3 IVC in the June booklet with the $2 mfr coupon in the 6/2 S.  You’ll pay 29¢ and low tax.

Lever 2000 bar soaps are $2.99 BOGO this week – and these are the twin-packs.  Use two $1 IPs from the Lever site and you’ll pay 99¢ for four bars, or 25¢ each.

Found a few more RR items at Walgreens, so added them to the stockpile.  Left a couple on the shelf, but let’s face it:  Nobody buys this stuff when it’s not a Register Reward promotion…

Couple of freebies and a decent filler item, but nothing we haven’t seen in the very recent past at better prices.  I’d say it’s a pretty ho-hum week, unless and until something unexpected jumps out at us (like a high-value IP or glitch somewhere).

Mitchum deodorant is $2/$6, get $4 RR.  Use two of the $1 coupons from 6/2 S.

Colgate toothbrushes, toothpaste and mouthwash is 2/$6 with 2,000 points when you buy two.  Use the $2 coupons for mouthwash from 6/2 S; there are buck coupons in the same ad for toothpaste and toothbrushes, but I’d rather pay less for the stupid points…

You could buy the two items above using the $10 Fiber Smart RR from this week’s deal ($6 less $2 = $4 & $6 less $4 = $2) with fillers (Butterball chicken broth is 50¢ with in-ad coupon).

If you’ve been unable to locate those single-page coupon sheets that show the F&F sale running through July 9th, you’ll still be able to get your discounts this week.  Wednesday, June 26th, is another of those Friends & Family Sale days at Walgreens, where you get 15% off all in-store and online purchases of brand name items and 20% off Walgreens private label items.  Use FAMILY15 to get your online discount.  Spend $25 for FREE SHIPPING.  Click here to get to the Wags landing page to print out the coupon(s).
