Walgreens: Week of 7/19

Walgreens is screaming this week ---- I'm drooling over the back to school stuff (you know I'm collecting it like crazy already) --- but before you go do something rash like walk into Walgreens unprepared --- Here is my suggested plan of attack
1)  Go to Maven of Saving and start with her Excedrin scenario -- that will get you a $2.00 PROFIT right away (not to mention some Excedrin, which I know you'll be needing with all of this shopping.
2)  Then follow the link in that post to Nicole's Nickels and she'll show you how to get a ton of the school stuff for just the Register Reward you already have in your hot little hand from the Excedrin transaction.

So --- are you psyched yet???

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

Staples Coupon Online

Just in case you had plans to make super-duper use of the Staples $5/$25 coupon from this week's ad --- and you needed another one (or so) --- 
Staples has very kindly posted the coupon online for you --- and if you're on their mailing list, they've emailed you a copy as well.  
Now, aren't they helpful??  Say thank-you.

School Supplies: Target

Target has now entered the race to provide us with cheap and even freebie school supplies.  They're kicking off their offerings with a whole raft of "half-a-buck-ers" -- in other words -- $.50 items.  Its not free, but with the economy as it is, I'm expecting fewer freebies than last year --- and $.50 is still in my price range for many of these items.


--RoseArt Colored Pencils (12 count)
--RoseArt Washable Markers (8 count)
--Vinyl Binder (1 count)
--Mead Notebook (70 page)
--Vinyl Pencil Pouch
--Bic Crystal Ballpoint Pens (10 count)
--Yellow #2 Wood Pencils (24 count) (CVS gave us free pencils last week -- I'll probably pass on paying $.50 this week)
--Pink or Blue Pencil Box (don't know why its only the pink and blue, but it is)
