Wags through 8/22

Wags is having a 4-day sale starting Wednesday...so aren't you glad I didn't tell you about the deals earlier?! Starting Wednesday when you buy $25 worth of anything (after Wags coupons, but before manufacturer coupons) get $5 Register Rewards! Woohoo for free money!

Also, I mentioned the Back 2 School Coupon book (B2S) last week, but there is also a Walgreens Activity Book (I’ll call it WAB) that you can pick up for $.99. Yes, you're paying for coupons, but you’ll make up for it just by purchasing Neosporin this week ($2 overage). There is a page of coupons just after the cover. Just like the B2S, they are Wags coupons that may be used with manufacturer coupons. There is a picture of it below. I found it at a display near the pharmacy, but they might also be in the coloring book section…

Here we go:
**Extra Strength Tylenol BOGO $4.49, use 2 - $2 coupons from the paper = $.25 each!
**Bic Highlighters (5 packs) $.39, use the $1 off 2 coupon from the 8/9 paper = free (the coupon will probably beep & you won’t get overage - buy 3 and avoid the beeps ($.17 for 3 packs!)
**Buy 2 Band-Aids $2.99, get $4 RR, use 2 - $1 coupons = free OR
**Buy 2 Neosporin $3.99, get $4RR, use 2 - $1 off coupons from the paper + $2 off Neosporin from the WAB (will deduct $2 for each one) = $2 overage
**Huggies Wipes 64 ct $2.79, use any newspaper coupons + $2 off from B2S coupon = $.79, but probably cheaper with manufacturer coupons.
**Buy 4 Velveeta Shells & Cheese Cups @1 get $1 RR, use 2 – BOGO coupons from the paper & $1 off 4 B2S coupon = 4 free
**Softsoap Nutri-Serum $3.99 with $4 RR = free (use $2 coupon from coupons.com if you printed earlier in the month!)
**Buy $10 in Keebler/Kellogg’s products get $5 RR (this is a month-long deal that I have mentioned before…this makes for super cheap snacks when you make a full $25 purchase), newspaper coupons are in parenthesis, items include: Cheez it 7.5 or 9 oz $2, Keebler Cookies 11.5 or 15 oz $2 ($1 off 2), Rice Krispies Treats 8 pk $2 ($1 off 2), Pop Tarts $2, Cheez its 4.5 or Keebler Cookies 5.25 - 6oz $1, Club Crackers/Sandies Pecan Shortbread 16 oz 2/$5, Fiber Plus Bars 5 pk 2/$5, Nutri-Grain Bars 8 pk 2/$5 ($1 off 2), Special K Protein, 6 pk Bars ($1 off 2)or 4 pk Shakes $5 ($1 off 2)
**Trident Gum BOGO $1.29, use $1 off 2 coupon from here = $.15 each!
**Tylenol Extra Strength caplets day/night on clearance for $1.89, use the $1 or $2 newspaper coupons or print this $1 off coupon. There is a monthly deal on these Tylenol, buy 2 get $5 RR, so using 2 - $1 coupons you would pay $1.78 out of pocket and get $5 RR back, that’s $3.22 overage!
**7Up, Dr.P & Sunkist 3 for $11 with $3 RR, that's $2.66 a piece which is pretty good!________________________________

You are so intense...I don't know if I can do it...

You can do it! Just organize your coupons ahead of time - be prepared with some substitutions in case something is out of stock...and go to a 24 hour store when the kids are asleep!
