Walgreens Coupon $5/$25

Walgreens just released a new coupon (do you think they knew they were just not competing with CVS this week?).  For Thursday and Friday ONLY --- they'll take $5.00 off of any $25.00 purchase.
Walgreens has a special rule (one I'm not overly fond of!) -- the $25.00 has to be AFTER all other coupons and sales have already come off.  It makes the coupon a little less great --- but you can still do some major damage with it.
Mercedes over at CommonSenseWithMoney has a terrific scenario with Huggies and Coppertone.  If you're a diaper user, it might be worth your energy.  Check her out.
Since I am SOOOOOO not a diaper user (hold on while I knock on wood here) --- I won't be doing her scenario.  But I am a huge office and school supplies user (occupational hazard).  So I've cooked up a scenario including some of the school/office supplies that Walgreens has that I really, really, really want for school this year.  And of course the Coppertone --- you cannot have too much sunscreen during the summer when we all practically LIVE outside.

Buy:
*****2 bottles of Coppertone Nutrashield $10.99 a bottle = $21.98
- use 2 of the printable coupons for $5.00 off each bottle = $11.98
*****Add in 20 of the divider tabs on sale for $.39 (this is a deal that only a teacher could love) = $7.80
*****Add in 10 sets of the colored pencils for $.59 = $5.90
Total after coupons = $25.68
Less the Walgreens coupon = $20.68
Register Reward coming back on the Coppertone -- $10.00
Final Cost (for all that stuff!!) $10.68
