I had a nice little trip to Walgreens today. I wasn’t planning on going, but one of our readers, Maureen, told me that she had some awesome customized “Thank You” Walgreens store coupons in her Walgreens.com account in the Paperless Coupons area (scroll down). I checked and I had a bonus “Thank You” coupon for 3000 Balance Rewards points with a $15 purchase. So…I cooked up a simple scenario and headed to the store.
FYI – After the first Mitchum coupon went through, all the others beeped. They had to be entered manually. Here’s what I bought, along with the coupons used…
FOUR MITCHUM DEODORANTS, on sale BOGO 50% OFF $4 ($6 for each pair with sale; reg. price is $4.49 or 2/$8)
Get 2000 Balance Rewards points (value $2-$2.50) for every two Mitchum purchased
Used four $2/1 Mitchum Deodorant coupons, 7/10 SS insert
Price at Register: $4, but received 4000 BR points (value up to $5)
NET PRICE FOR ALL: FREE + $1 MONEYMAKER!
TWO SNACK FACTORY PRETZEL CRISPS 7.2 OZ, on sale $1.99 (reg. price $3.19)
Used two $1/1 Snack Factory Pretzel Crisps 5 oz or larger coupon, 6/19 SS insert
NET PRICE FOR ALL: $1.98 (or 99 cents each!)
My 3000 Balance Rewards points (value $3-$3.75) was credited on my receipt. That’s an extra $3.75 profit factored into the statistics below.
I also received 150 Everyday Balance Rewards points (value $0.15-$0.18.) That extra $0.18 profit is factored into the stats too.
Total Retail Value of All Merchandise: $24.34
Net Price Paid for Everything: $2.94 PROFIT!
Savings Rate (excluding tax): 112.1%
In case you’re wondering, there’s no picture of this haul because we lost the original image while moving the site to a new server some time ago.
