Walgreens: $4.79 Hanes Tees

For whatever strange reasons, Walgreens is clearing out their inventory of these Hanes 3pks for $4.79.  Check online to see if any convenient stores have your size in stock.  I got these at two stores, neither of which are my go-tos, so I didn’t have any pull, but lately that’s not saying much.

The first store range up at $13+ (shelf is over $18!), but overrode to match the online clearance price with no trouble; the second store – which rang up at $9+ – tried to tell me the price was only online.  Pointed out that it wasn’t available to purchase online, but only for pickup and showed this was the location.  Also pointed out that they didn’t have sufficient stock to buy $10 worth of shirts. Manager was in a meeting and cashiers were in a tizzy, so I offered to buy several packs in the wrong size to get up to the $10 threshold, then immediately return them after purchase.  They adjusted the price to $4.79.

Jewel Garden Center: 25 cents clearance

Yup, only the third week of June and already Jewel is dumping their garden center inventory; it’s especially upsetting since they put up those centers long before it’s advisable to plant in Chicago, global-warming or not.   I picked up lots of veggie plants on Saturday using two $5 Floral Department Flavor Adventure coupons and when I got another one last night I headed over to see what was still available.  Not very much, as it turns out, but I took all the vegetable plants remaining (27) and paid $2.22.  I’m pleased and boy are we gonna have – hopefully – some great meal additions.
