Walgreens $5/20 Coupon Day













I wasn't planning another Walgreens trip until this coupon came out for today only!

I was hoping they would send another one of these out before the end of the month so I could use it on the Free-After-Rebate items. Lucky me. Here is what I purchased today:

Walgreens Brand Bottle Liners 2@ 3.49 (Less $7RR, earn % for Rewards card)
Scrubbing Bubbles Action Kit 5.49 (Less 2.75Mfg)
Trial size Axe bodywash 4@ 1.59 (Less $5rr)

Tax .98
Total OOP $16.80

Will receive Wags Rebates of $24.25 + 10%, Scrubbing Bubbles Mfg rebate of $5.49.

Hooray for $15.37 overage after rebates!! And I got two movie tickets for purchasing the Axe bodywash!

(I already submitted for the Bliss chocolate rebate, but I couldn't pass up 4 more bags for only a $1 - especially when my dh ate an entire bag just last night....)

Double Dippin' at Walgreens










Today, I got to enjoy the Double Dip at Walgreens. I went to four different stores and did two transactions at the last store. My first stop did not allow the Double Dip and I had to pay $3.50 per pk of diapers. (Am I complaining - heck no, that is still a steal on diapers!) In the end, I had 17 packs of diapers, 2 boxes of NutriPals, and 10 bottles of Loreal Nutri-Vive. I spent $35.74 OOP. A friend of the family wanted some of the diapers so I gave them 6pks at $1.50 each. In the end, I spent $26.74 OOP and earned $25 in RR!

Got this wonderful description from Mercedes at Common Sense with Money - What is double dipping? Double dipping happens when the end of one rebate period overlaps with the beginning of another rebate period at Walgreens. During these two days, the coupons in the EasySaver booklet from the period that is about to end are still active and the coupons from the period that just begun become active as well. So you can double dip by using the coupons from both Easysaver booklets on the same items. Of course this situation is entirely YMMV and depends a lot on the cashier you get whether you can do it or not.

Dierbergs Meat Sale!










And oh what a sale it is!!! Dierbergs has a sale going on - specially marked meat packages are 5 for $19.99. I also had heard that Dierberg's will price match other stores. ShopNSave has $10 off $50 purchase on most Thursdays. So, Alecia and I went up to Dierbergs with the ShopNSave ad and loaded the cart with meat.
We picked up the following:
3 pks Boneless Stew Meat (3.26 lbs)
2 pks Center Cut Pork Steaks (3.51 lbs)
2 pks Boneless Pork Chops (2.33 lbs)
1 pks Johnsonville Brats (5 ea)
3 pks Sirloin Tip Steak (3.17 lbs)
4 pks Ground Beef (6.5 lbs)

All of this for only $52.07 w/ tax!!!! (Would have been around $90 before the sale and the competitor coupon!)

Hooray for a full deep freeze! And to top it off, Alecia helped me package it all up "properly" before we put it away. Some of it is already marinated - Super Supper style!
