It’s a pretty ho-hum week at Walgreens this week, but you can still get free gum and deodorant as well as find my target price ($0.99) for mouthwash. My husband uses mouthwash daily (I’m not a huge fan) so we go through a lot of it in a relatively short amount of time.
If you’re new to Walgreens shopping, then learn how the Register Rewards program works and learn how to read this shopping list. Don’t forget that some other stores will accept Register Rewards like a manufacturer’s coupon.
This is a starting list of deals for the week and is not a comprehensive list of every sale item and its coupons, but just the best deals (things at prices I’d actually pay). We will update this list as readers leave comments with bargains they found at their local store, we get emails with deal ideas or we read about other deals across the blogosphere. Items that are added throughout the week will be noted as NEW. Items whose final price changes as a result of a new or modified coupon scenario will be noted as UPDATED. At least once this week we will send out a reminder to come back and check this list for the hottest new deals.
Helpful hint: Walgreens is the one store where an advertised sale like “2 for $4” usually requires you to buy two products. The first one rings at full price and the second product will ring at a lesser price to bring the total to $4, using our example. If you ever question whether you need to buy two to receive a sale price, ask the cashier to scan one item for you. If it rings at full price, then you know you need to buy two products. If it rings at the sale price, then you don’t.

Julie – Thanks for the reminder! I’ll be posting about this in a little bit.
Can you use a manufacturer BOGO coupon on a Walgreens BOGO sale item (Dry Idea deal above)?
FYI-BE AWARE that regular Royal jello now has artificial sweetner in it not just sugar. This is not on the label. IF you’re like me and very allergic to artificial sweetners, this is BAD!
I was planning on buying the MiraLAX deal above this morning but was told that it has been recalled (from awhile ago) and they won’t have any in. They were not able to substitiute the smaller sizes but I did get a raincheck.
Has anyone else run into the recall problem?
The Pilot Frixion in the ads have a mail in rebate on the package. Purchase one pack and receive $1.25, purchase 2 receive $2.75 and purchase 3 receive $4.50. Another money maker!!
Thanks, Joy!
The register reward for the listerine did not print out for me, they ended up just giving me cash, did anyone else have a problem with this?
Starbucks deal doesn’t work- the manf and store coupons are for different sizes/kind. They don’t match up :( …tried it tonight…bummer.
Bummer, indeed! I was really looking forward to getting that deal.
Sorry if this posts twice, but don’t see the first one I wrote. Just an FYI- the Starbucks deal doesn’t work. The manf coupon and the in-ad coupon are for different starbucks products.
Question for anyone. There is a buy one get one free head and shoulder coupon that expires at the end of the month. Can I combine it with the buy 2 for 8 and get 2 RR back? Or would I have to buy 3 head and shoulders?
It should work….i’ve done this in the past before on other BOGO coupons.
GOOD LUCK!
The EXPO coupon is for washable markers – not the regular ones.

Products that sell for $.99, such as Pilot Frixion pen and Purex 2ct., will not work with a $1.00 coupon because there is not enough price to deduct $1.00 from.
TJ- What?! Please say this isn’t true?! Did they tell you that? That has never been my experience at any of the stores.
Actually, they just have to adjust the price of the item so that the coupon will work. That is what they always did at my store and it is their corporate policy. Also, I am not sure that the Purex 3-in-1 coupon will work because it says it does not include the 2-count. Anybody try this yet?
Yes, that’s what the guy at the photo register told me. Megan, where do I access the corporate coupon policy???
TJ-you can print a copy of it here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/7905340/walgreens3 . Can’t remember if to do that I had to register for the scribd website or not but either way, it is helpful to have. Did you try the Purex coupon, TJ? Or were you referring to the Walgreens employees adjusting the price on things so that the coupons will work?
