Starting 3/9 Walgreens will have the Bayer Contour NEXT meters once again on sale for $10 – this time you earn points. A chain – not in my area  – has a $10 coupon in their flyer which many sites have claimed is a legitimate coupon and authorized by the manufacturer for use at Walgreens.  Since I had sincere doubts about this (read: bullshit), I printed out the coupon in a few sizes and stopped in to several stores:  Each had this taped to their register counters and employees had been alerted.  Don’t try this, folks, ’cause it’s just plain stupid.  Bayer does have a coupon but to get it you need to fill in DOB, email, vitals, what meds you use now, etc….way too much info for these hinky points.

However, if you hustle your fat can over to Walgreens this week, you can score some very nice free soap:  single Caress bars are on sale for $1 (normally $1.99) and generating a $1.50 coupon good on any Caress product.  Since it’s a coupon and not a RR, you can roll it over and over as long as you want!  Use your points to make the first purchase and then you’ll pay only high tax for all subsequent purchases.   Some stores have the double-packs for $1.74, which also generate the $1.50 coupon, so if your store refuses to mark down the coupon to a buck, check for those clearance bars and pay 24¢ for the two plus tax.  Oh, each purchase also generates 50 loyalty points, a nice, if slow, way to build up those points!

And honestly? Individual bars smell nice, but a couple of bags is enough to make you pass out – I can’t get these to the food pantry fast enough!
