I realize that this deal is almost over, but if you are purchasing the Bayer Contour ($30 RP 10/25) or Breeze 2 ($30 RP 10/25) Glucose Meters and purchase them at the  pharmacy window, your RRs most likely will not print out. If you purchase the meters together you should receive a $5 RR per meter and you will receive an additional $3 RR for purchasing the 2 Bayer products at the same time. One other $5 RR will also print out, which is good towards the purchase of sticks for the meters.

For some reason the pharmacy registers will not print the RRs. After this happens, some one from store management will come over and explain that the products are not RR eligible. After listening to the employee, I convince them to try to ring up the sale at a different register. When they do, the RRs print out and everyone is happy. BTW, I was purchasing the meters at the pharmacy because there wasn’t any stock on the store shelf, but the pharmacy had more on their’s.

I try most of my deals before I actually post them.  Here are some sweet deals I scored today!

Pert Men’s Shampoo,  $5.00/2  ,  Plus 2 Register Rewards (must buy 2)
$1.50 from SS 1/24
(Makes them FREE after Register Rewards!!!!)

Bic Razors (Hybrid Advance or Flex 4) B1G1 for $6.99
B1G1 from SS 1/10
(Coupon makes both FREE!!! We left a cashier scratching her head over this one, but the manager agreed it was correct.)

Sure Men’s Deodorant, $3.00/2 (with In circular coupon)
$1.50 from SS 1/24
(Use both coupons to make them FREE!)

Have we missed any other great deals? Please share!

Right now you can get Sure Men’s Deodorant for FREE at Walgreens here’s how:

Walgreens In Ad Coupon:  Sure Deodorant 2/$3.00

Manufacturer Coupon:  Men’s Sure Deodorant $1.50,  from   SS 1/24

Use both and get up to 4 FREE!!! (gotta love free stuff!)

Note:  To get 4 free you must have 4 manufacturer coupons.

Here is an example of truly hidden coupons that I love to uncover for our readers. They may not be of the $10/$30 Whole Foods variety, but they are hidden none the less.

This is what you see when you come to the heavier than usual page in the
February 2010 issue of Real Simple Magazine

but then you realize that each of those 9 images are actually pull off stickers,
and after you pull the sickers off, you end up with this:
.
The coupons, all of which are manufacturer and expire 2/28/10 are:
$1.00 off Sensodyne Iso-Active 4.3oz (includes  whitening & multi-action)
$2.00 off Finest Natural Women’s Multi-Vitamin, 60ct
$2.00 off Finest Natural 1000mg Fish Oil, 200ct
$2.00 off Finest Natural Bone Density, 120ct
$10.00 off Nicoderm CQ, 14ct, includes 14mg and 21mg Clear Patch.
$10.00 off alli, 90ct Starter Kit or 120ct refill.

I have received word from one of our loyal reader that most Walgreens stores also offer a military discount? All you have to do is produce your ID… active duty, reserve, dependent or retired. Our stores here locally (Volusia County, FL not near a base) do it on Tuesdays, and you have to go to the cosmetics counter to check out. Well worth it. You can get a 15% discount on name brand items, and 20% on Walgreens branded items. Tack on coupons and register rewards, and you can SAVE a a decent amount of money there.

After doing a VERY basic google search, I have the information I need to tell you to at the very least ask your store’s manager. I ill make some phone calls on MOnday to try to obtain the actual policy and if it is chain wide. Also, I want to clear up whether some stores extend the discount to First Responders and Educators.

If you are connected to the US Military, please let us know you experience in being extended a discount at Walgreens, regardless if you were in Florida or another state.

Thanks, Mark

Total – FREE!!

While in an Orlando area Publix Supermarket I spotted this booklet, and at first I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, or someone at this Publix Supermarket was being especially brave. I thought that this looked awfully similar to a rare (for the Orlando area) ABC’s booklet that Walgreens was giving away a few months ago. It is the EXACT same, except that the Publix Supermarket version does not have the Walgreens logo in the upper right hand corner.

Here are the coupons, all of which are manufacturer and expire on 06/01/10

Benadryl Allergy save $1.00
Benadryl Cream, Gel or Spray save $1.00
Children’s Benadryl save $1.00
Childrens Zyrtec save $2.00
Sudafed save $2.00
Tylenol Cold or Sinus save $1.00
Visine save $2.00
Zyrtec 12 ct or larget or Itchy Eye Drops save $2.00

In the 10/25 Red Plum there is a coupon that will allow you to save up to $30.00 on the purchase of a Bayer Contour or Breeze 2 Blood Glucose Meter. No one in on our immediate household has a need for these meters, but a loved one does have diabetes. So, we go to the our local Walgreens and walk out of the store with the FREE meter (via the 10/25 RP coupon), but ALSO RECEIVE $5 RRs , a Walgreens Catalina for $5 toward the test strips, and a $1.00 coupon off Colgate Total Toothpaste.

So it just goes to show you that even if you have no real need for the item, but know someone who does, spread some love, karma, etc, and do someone else a favor.
