Walgreens Huggies deal
Feb. 9th, 2010 08:09 amPregnant ladies! Or all of you (in the US) with children in diapers!
Walgreens has Huggies on sale this week. They're $8.99 and you get a $3 RR. You can use one manufacturer's coupon and one Walgreens coupon per package, so:
$8.99
-$2 manufacturer's coupon (HERE or at coupons.com)
-$1 Walgreens coupon (HERE)
-$3 RR
--------
$2.99 each
-$0.75 Caregiver's Marketplace rebate
--------
$2.24 each
For the Wags newbies, you should know that you have to do this in separate transactions (ie, don't buy more than one package per transaction) or you will only get one $3 RR. You also cannot use that RR on another transaction with diapers. SO, what I would do is to do as many transactions as you want, and then deposit your diapers in the car and return to the store to spend the $3 RRs. The reason I'd go out to the car in the middle is so that you will have room in your buggy for more stuff. Take it from my own personal experience that if you put a few packages of diapers in a Wags buggy, you won't have room for much else. Anyway, to use the RR, you have to have one item per RR you want to use. If you want to buy something that is kind of expensive, throw in a few "filler" items, like Valentine's pencils with eraser tops ($.20 with ad coupon) or Disney coloring and actiivity pads (.34 with ad coupon) or peroxide or Encore brand spices for $.50 after ad coupons. Ad coupons don't count into the one-coupon-per-item rule. Look through the ad to find things on sale that you actually need, if you can, to spend that money on. :) Or, hey, buy yourself something fun. Even without the RR, you're paying nearly half price on diapers you'd buy anyway, so try not to get too overwhelmed on the "but I'll be spending money on other stuff that I wouldn't normally buy today!" thing. You could even use the RRs (and fillers) to buy another package of diapers, though remember you wouldn’t get a new RR that way.
While you're in there, Dove men's body wash is free after RR this week, as is Super Polident... though you will have to spend those RRs, too, of course. To avoid having a ton of RR, keep your transactions as small as possible, and use one RR (from another RR item, NOT the same thing!) to pay. For example, buy two packages of diapers and get a $3 RR in each transaction. Then, purchase a Dove's men's body wash at $5.99 and add a Valentine's pencil for $.20. You'll owe $6.19 plux tax and you will have two items so you can use your two $3 RR and thus pay $.19 plus tax. (There are coupons out for Dove's men's body wash, so if you have one of those, you should use it and you'll make a profit on the whole thing, but you won't be able to do this transaction as I've just written it out.)
p.s. Buy as many as you can, because why would you want to pay $10 later for something you can buy for less than $3 now? If you buy five packages, that's a $39 savings. If they don't have the right size, you can always buy the wrong size and exchange them later for the correct size. Diapers will fit in lots of places around your house (under the crib, at the top of a closet, in a bathroom closet, under the clothes in the closet, under the stairs, etc. They also make decent building blocks for the older kids if you want to leave them out in the open..haha. (Not as good as bales of toilet paper, but less embarrassing than boxes of tampons. And yes, I am speaking from experience, though in my case, Evelyn kept dragging them out of the closet to stack them--I didn't just leave them out. ;) )
ETA: also, the coupons I linked to. The manu coupon is from a .pdf released by... Babycenter? maybe? last year. It is still being posted at slickdeals.net so, while there are differing opinions on whether this coupon is supposed to be used or not, it should be okay. I have used it in the past and it does work..though I try to use my other coupons first. The Walgreens coupon is from the Children's Coloring and Activity Book that they put out. It's hard to find by now, but again, the scan is posted at slickdeals. Just so you know the provenance of your coupons. :) Some people get their panties in a wad regarding the usage of certain coupons, which is why I'm posting this here, with links, and will probably repost it to my other blog without those links. You guys are special.
