I love gel pens. They are so much easier to write with than ballpoints. Take this $2 coupon to Walgreen’s and get some for free. This $2 coupon will also be in today’s inserts, in some regions. Yes, I did get one in the Philly Inquirer.
Maybe one more trip to Walgreen’s……..Huggies & Electrasol
January 6, 2011 by · Leave a Comment
I know I said I wasn’t shopping at Walgreen’s in the new year, too many restrictions on their rewards.
But two good deals catch my eye this week–
First, if you have the 2.25 Electrasol coupon from Sunday’s paper. And your store has to have Electrasol in stock, which may be a challenge. Buy it for 3.49, use your 2.25 coupon. And……..get 1.50 back in Register Rewards. So you’re 0.26 ahead for each one you purchase.
Then, take the 1.50 register reward, plus the 2.50 Huggies printable. Or use this one. I plan to use both on the Huggies that are 6.99, which will then be 2.99 plus tax. Just remember, one coupon per item and the RR counts as a coupon. I’ll need a filler and hopefully they’ll have some clearance xmas pens or something for 0.10.
Don’t need diapers? Then surely you can find something else to use it to purchase. If I do go in and find the Electrasol, I know I don’t want to have Register Rewards when I come out. With their short expiration date and limited restriction, I’ve grown tired of trying to continuously roll them.
My Wednesday mornings
December 16, 2010 by · Leave a Comment
On Wednesdays, I have to have my 4-year-old to his therapy appt by 8:20 or so, and then I don’t have to be at work until 9:30, which is only five minutes away. This is a new routine for us and I had been just going home and then going to work. But recently I’ve decided that I will use that time to hop back on the CVS/Walgreen’s and possibly Rite Aid train, and load up on freebies again. After all, I really enjoy doing it, it costs me almost nothing, and our neighborhood is having a yard sale in 2011, so I’d like to see what I can stock up on & sell.
So here’s what I did yesterday:
CVS: The only deal I was interested in was the Glade candles. They are $2.50 each, with $4 ecb back when you spend $10. I got four, used four $1 off 1 coupons from the Safeway booklet and a $5 ecb. Paid $1 and tax, got $4 ecb back. I really like the Glade jar candles and think they are equal in quality and scent to any Yankee candle.
Walgreens: Walgreens has been going crazy with the Register Rewards lately, though know they’re called Jingle Cash. I still call them RRs, old habits die hard. But while they are offering more good deals on them, there are more restrictions. If you earn one of the transaction RRs, such as get $5 back when you spend $25, it will NOT roll into another transaction. Or, for the next transaction, you have to take it into your figuring–and spend $30, then use your $5 one. And no matter how many you earn, you can only use one per transaction (of the super jingle cash) and they’re only good for one week. But hey, if I’ve somewhat committed to going every Wednesday, that shouldn’t be a problem.
So, here are some deals I used to put together my transactions:
Huggies/Pullups: on sale for 2 for 18, get $3 back. This $3 back CAN be used with other jingle cash or RRs, just if you use it to pay for another set of Huggies, you won’t get that RR. Use these printables to get even more off and a pretty good deal on diapers.
Ghirardelli: on sale 2 for 5, use the $1/2 printable that is found on printablecouponspot to pay 2 for 4. Nice stocking stuffer or gift for teacher.
Lindt truffles: on sale 2 for 5, I was unable to find coupons anywhere, but still a decent price for them.
Hershey’s Pot of Gold: another good stocking stuffer or small gift (think mail carriers, garbage men–yes I buy for my garbagemen)- on sale 2 for 9, get $3 back, use this printable to make it less.
Select Goody hair stuff is $2 with $2 back, use that to get to your $25, but only one per transaction, even if you get two, only one will print.
Kids’ Advil-there’s a wags coupon in the ad plus I have coupons from inside the packages for this. With two little ones, can never have enough.
If you use Olay–check out that deal. It’s get $4 back when you spend $20, plus if you get to $25, you’ll get another $5 back. I have home mailer coupons for $5, and if you use the Goody hair stuff as your filler to get to $25, should be a pretty good deal.
Hallmark also has two RR deals running right now, if you need greeting cards.
Happy Couponing!

Not sure that I’d want to go to Walgreen’s every day for a week, but maybe I’ll take advantage of one or two deals. Here is the link to see various photo coupons for free prints & such. If this link doesn’t work all week, I’ll post them on the fb page. Make sure you like Lisa Bargain Alert on fb to get all the deals!
