My Trip to Walgreens

Hope you saved the Walgreens inserts from your Sunday papers. They contain store coupons which you can stack with manufacturer coupons for even greater savings. Here is what I purchased in one transaction:

20 packs of trident gum (Walgreen’s coupon was buy one, get one. I also had a manufacturer buy one, get one coupon. So each time I bought two packs they were free. I purchased 10 Sunday papers, so I had 10 inserts and 10 manufacturer coupons in total.)
2 tubes of Aquafresh toothpaste (I stacked store and mfr. coupons so both were free)
3 boxes of Puffs facial tissues (stacked store and mfr. coupons and this was my only out of pocket expense - they won’t let me have a negative or $0.00 total.)
Total out of pocket: $2.31

Walgreens also has an excellent rebate program. Many of those deals you can actually make money from (you receive an overage when combining a coupon with a rebate deal). I don’t do the rebate program because I don’t like the paperwork - too detailed and time consuming - but I know several who do and love it.
