Walgreens 5/10-5/16

Karen at Frugal RI Mama has this week's Walgreens deals for you. I'm posting a few of the highlights plus my beginner transactions below. For the full list of match-ups see Karen's full post here.

Reach Toothbrush, On Sale $0.99 with in ad cpn

Palmolive Dish Soap $0.99 after in-ad coupon
Use $1.00/2 cpn in 4-26-09 SS

I had $3 in RR's expiring today so I went to Walgreens and got the following:

Colgate Max Fresh, On Sale $2.99
Get $2 RR
Use $1.00 cpn in 4-26-09 insert
Final Cost: FREE after RR

I bought 1, used the coupon then paid for it from my $3 in RR - note that I needed to buy a filler item (I bought scotch tape I needed) to get to the $3. Other than those expiring RR's, I didn't need anything else. I spent the $3 in RR and got back $2 in RR plus the toothpaste and my filler item (scotch tape)

If you're new to Walgreens, for just $5 out of pocket, you could do the following:

Puffs Plus, On Sale $.99 with in ad coupon

You'll need a small filler item ($.08) to get up to the $6 total to use your RR from the haircare.

Use the $6 RR and pay just tax on the taxable items, depending on your state. You'll get $2 in RR to use on a future transaction. Getting 10 items for just $5 with $2 in RR left for next week isn't bad, right?
