Walgreens today and tomorrow

They have a $10 off $40 coupon out. Today and tomorrow are also "double-dipping" days for the August & SeptemberEasySaver Catalogs. I know there's a great deal in there, but it's going to take some major planning. Either way you play the coupon though you are getting 25% off of WHATEVER you buy.

Double dipping is tricky business. For two days a month you can use coupons and rebates from two months of the EasySaver catalogs. A lot of times the products overlap (which is silly for them but great for us) Using the $10 off $40 coupon, you must use all EasySaver and Walgreens coupons FIRST, then your total must be abover $40, then give them the $10 off $40 coupon, THEN start on manufacturer coupons. Does it sound confusing? Yes, it is. But carefully planned you can get some great stuff for free and make some (Walgreens) money. I think I've made about 8 Excel spreadsheets already trying to get the best bang for my buck (it does the math for me. If you local Wags does not have the September book out yet, you can print your coupons off their website .

Here is a quick and EASY transaction-this does not take full advantage of the DD, but it will work!
Chemistry Shampoo $7.99
Revitalift Lotion $16.49
2 John Freida Lux Volume (it's blue) $9.74 (on sale buy one get one 1/2 off)
Huggies Jumbo $9.49

Total before Q's: $43.71

GIVE Q's IN THIS ORDER!
$10 off $40
$3 off Chemistry from August catalog
$1 off Revitalift - newspaper
$3 off 2 John Frieda - All You may, or 2 $1 off from newspaper
$1 Huggies

Out of pocket: $25.71 - $26.71 depending of JF coupon.
Register Rewards recieved (instant gratificaion) = $11 ($2 Huggies & $9 JF)
Rebates recieved: $24.48 (Free after rebate Revitalift & Chemistry)
Profit: $12.21 (this includes 10% back on Walgreens card)
