Good-Bye to an old friend

And that old friend is the Walgreen’s monthly Easy Saver Rebate catalog. The most recent issue (April) expired on Saturday and Walgreen’s is no longer publishing it.

I will miss you…………

I was never a huge fan of the monthly rebates, though I did them occasionally. I *loved* the IVC (instant value coupons) that were in them that could be combined with mfr coupons. My most recent haul was the free Garnier hair stuff.

I also will miss the double-dip days. All time favorite of course was last July……when we could double dip on those diaper coupons for two days……and it included an RR deal too. For every 4 packs of diapers I got, Walgreen’s paid me $0.96 net. Sigh……..that was a really fun two days, I cleaned off every shelf in southern Chester county and Hockessin.

But it was not meant to be, as Walgreen’s has discontinued the booklet (probably due in part to couponers like myself clearing the shelves and not paying a penny). This week shows a lot of promise with the RR deals they are offering, let’s just hope it continues.

Speak Your Mind
