Walgreens Weekly Deals 3/28 - 4/3


This is one of the best weeks at Walgreens for free deals in a really long time! WOO HOO - can you tell I'm excited? There are lots of free or money making items this week, so I'll be heading to Walgreens a few times I'm sure! There are actually 5 items that are free or better than free this week (not including sales tax). This list is pretty long, but read through it because at the bottom I put together some scenarios for the free stuff this week and you can get a ton of stuff for not much out of pocket!

If you are new to shopping at Walgreens check out my posts here and here to get the lingo and understand how Walgreens shopping works.

Cost = $15.96, get $10 RR, like getting them for $1.49 each after RR!
You could also use the $1/1 (shampoo/condition or style products coupons) from the 3/7 RP! I also know that the smaller sizes are on sale as well, so you may come up with a better scenario buying the smaller products!

Buy $12 of participating Dove products, get $4RR
There are tons of Dove product coupons in the 3/28 Rp and printables here (for the body wash) and here (for deodorant) that can make this a good deal. I don't have any scenarios in mind, but if you come up with a good one, let us know!

Other deals:
12 Pack Coca-Cola Products 5/$13, limit 1 offer per transaction.
Use in-ad coupon to get this price.

Russel Stover Eggs (1.2 oz.) $.39 with in-ad coupon - a good filler this week! Limit 6.

Easter Candy: select Mars, Palmer, Easter Faire, Wonka or Neslte (.92 to 1.75 oz.) $.39 with in-ad coupon - another good filler this week! Limit 6.

Hershey's Candy (1.4 to 2 oz.) $.39 with in-ad coupon - another good filler this week! Limit 6.

I'm going to give a couple of scenarios on how to do these Register Reward deals this week that give you free or better than free items and roll them from one to another with as little money out of pocket as possible. I am assuming you don't have any RRs to start with in these scenarios, if you do, you will need to adjust these and/or add fillers in. Also, remember that in-ad coupons don't count against your coupon count so you don't need filler items when using them, only for manufacturer coupons and register rewards. Also, my numbers don't include sales tax for each transaction, so your actual cost will be higher once you figure in sales tax.

Transaction #1:
Buy Dentek Floss = $2,
Cost = $2, get $2 RR

Transaction #2:
Buy Dove Shampoo or Conditioner and a cheap filler, like the cheap candy with in-store coupon = $4.39
Use $1.50/1 Dove coupon from the 3/28 RP, in-ad coupon for the candy and $2 RR from Dentek deal above.
Cost = $.89, get $4 RR

Transaction #3:
Buy Simply Saline and a cheap filler, like the cheap candy with in-store coupon = $7.39
Use $1/1 Simply Saline coupon from the 1/24 SS, 11/15 SS, or 10/18 SS, use in-ad candy coupon and $4 RR from the Dove deal above.
Cost = $2.39, get $7 RR

Transaction #4:
Buy Dulcolax Balance and Walgreens Multivitamins = $13
Use $4/1 Dulcolax printable here (this printable is no longer available) and $7 RR from Dove deal above.
Cost = $2, get $10 RR for the Dulcolax and $3 RR for the Vitamins.

You could then use the $10 RR to buy any of the above RR items except the Dulcolax again, something like:
Dentek Floss = $2, Dove Shampoo/Conditioner = $4, Simply Saline = $7
Use $1.50/1 Dove coupon and $1/1 Simply Saline coupon and $10 Dulcolax RR
Cost = $.50, get $2 Dentek, $4 Dove and $7 Simply Saline RRs.

If you did all of the above transactions you would have:
2 Dentek Flosses
2 Dove Shampoo or Conditioners

2 Simply Saline Sprays

1 Walgreens Multivitamin

1 Dulcolax Balance

2 fillers
(the $.39 candies if you followed my transactions exactly!)

...and would have only spent $7.78 (not including tax) and would still have $16 in RRs to spend
on more of these items or whatever else you want! Just make sure you aren't using the RR from the same deal (like using Dove RR to buy more Dove) as it won't print out a new RR.

It isso much fun than spending less money than you now have in RRs and having all the awesome stuff above! I wouldn't do all of the transactions above in the same visit, I try to only do 2 or 3 at a time, so that I am not a huge pain for the cashiers!

If you have questions about any of the above information, let me know - I'll try to answer as soon as possible so you can get to shopping.

There are lots of other deals this week, if you find some good ones, let us know!

  1. It is a great week at WAGS indeed. For the last two weeks, I have spent less oop than what I walked out with in RR. I finally feel like I'm getting the hang of the Wags game. I only have two days to do my deals this week, so I'll be cutting the list down a little, but I am looking to spend 4.50 oop and walking away with 12 RR, with items to donate to local shelters!
