Walgreens-Black Friday ad & deals 2011

November 7, 2011 by Lisa · Leave a Comment

Here is what I have done so far. There are 15 free after Register Rewards items. Unfortunately none of the items are very Christmasy or appropriate for gift giving. Unless your family gives Preparation H as gifts.

This is part of a 3-day ad for Black Friday, so these deals will run Fri/Sat/Sun. Last year my store (Avondale) was very well stocked with the items. *Remember–Happy Harry’s does not necessarily follow all of the sales, so double check that store ad before making any purchases.

Don’t forget the Walgreens rules before you go.

Diapers & Wipes price round up, week of November 6

November 5, 2011 by Lisa · Leave a Comment

Here we go, the weekly price round up!

First, as always, the coupons! Last week had the P&G inserts that included Pampers. Huggies was 10/23, and here’s a $2 printable. Huggies, Pampers and Luvs all also do home mailers and other harder to find options. If you have the Walgreens Infant Care booklet, they expire 12/31, so it’s time to stop hoarding those coupons and think about using them. I think I’ve had one booklet left, since March or April, just waiting for the perfect deal.

Here are two SavingStar offers for you to load on to your shopping cards. These rebates can be stacked in addition to sales, coupons and Extra Bucks and stuff like that.

Buy 2 HUGGIES® Baby Wipes (64 ct or larger), Save $1.00.
Expires 12/1/2011.
One time use only.

Buy ONE (1) HUGGIES® Little Movers Slip-On Diapers, Save $2.00.
Expires 12/1/2011.
One time use only.

GET COUPON

And, when you go out, if you do purchase Pampers, look for these specially marked packages that have $5 of coupons inside.

Now, on to some of the prices. Remember that item counts vary by size of diaper, so you want to use your phone/calculator and figure out how much you’re paying per diaper or wipe. Personally, I prefer to stay at a penny per wipe or less, and won’t pay $0.03 or more unless I’m desperate. Diapers, my kids are in the bigger sizes now, so I aim for $0.15 or less per diaper, definitely under $0.20. More than that, only if absolutely necessary.

Amazon:

Ok, lots of good deals to be found right now, as most of the major brands are offering $2 & $3 clickable coupons. You can only use each coupon once. So, for example, if you buy Pampers and click the $2 coupon, if you buy any other Pampers, you cannot use it again (at least in that account). But you can still go and find a pack of Huggies and use that $3 coupon, but only once.

Here’s what you want to do:

Go to the Amazon diapers and find the brand, variety, count and size of diaper that you want, and while you’re looking at the page, make sure it has a coupon that looks like this:

Click image to see more Huggies.

If it does, click the coupon to activate it, and, click “Subscribe & Save” to save another 20%. Now, calculate your price per diaper to make sure it’s a decent deal–most of what I’ve found is under $0.20 per diaper which I think is good. Amazon allows you to cancel Subscribe & Save any time after your order has shipped. If you choose the bigger boxes vs the smaller packs, they qualify for FREE shipping too.
