This is the shopping trip that Paul and I did where we price matched the Walgeens ad to Walmart. Why does this help you in your shopping? Because, 1. I would rather go to 1 store and not a bunch of different ones, and 2. Walmart has a LOT more stock than a drug store and I can go in after the first few hours of a sale and have items still be there!
You can see a copy of the Walmart price match policy HERE.
Today, we saved just at $100 by price matching the items above. Our total was only $33 after coupons and price match! In the video below Paul explains how to price match the ad from Walgreens and what you can price match and what you can’t. For example, he shows the Purex sale, the policy says it matches the $4.99 price and not the $2.99 after RR price.
This is what we used:
Ricola
Walgreens Price: $1.29
Walmart Price: $1.97
Use FREE Ricola Bag wyb Ricola Dual Action, exp. 12/31/11 (SS 10/02/11)
Total: $.63 each
Tresemme
Walgreens Price: $3.50
Walmart Price: $3.84 – $4.47
Use B1G1 Tresemme Shampoo or Conditioner, exp. 10/31/11 (RP 10/02/11)
Total: $1.75 each
Nivea
Walgreens Price: $2
Walmart Price: $2.49
Use $3/2 Nivea Lip Care Product, exp. 10/16/11 (RP 10/02/11)
Total: $.50 each!
Starbucks
Walgreens Price: $4 each
Walmart Price: $5.68
Use $2/2 Starbucks Frappuccino or Double Shot Multipack, exp. 10/22/11 (Pepsico Moments)
Total: $3 each

Not the greatest week but a few good things to work with!
If you have not signed up to get the Walgreens home mailer, you should go do it! When you are in Walgreens ask for the Home Mailer form to fill out with your email address. Then you will get a email from Walgreens, fill that out and you will start getting the Home mailer sent to your home.
There are a few freebies and some items you can price match to Walmart if your store is out of stock! Thanks to SavingWellSpendingLess for the macthups!
I am going to toss some ideas out there for you guys of things you might want to do:
Tresemme Shampoo and Conditioner 2 for $7
Use the BOGO coupon in the the RP 10/2
Total: $3.50
If you need to get started, start with this one, you will be $2.99 OOP but you will get that back to roll onto the Tresemme above!
Nivea Lip Care 2/$4
Use $3/2 coupon in 10/2 RP
Total: $50 each!
I ran into CVS tonight to figure out my transactions. I did not have my coupons cut out, and they did not have the items marked for the new sale and to top it off the cashier would not give me a new ad. I should have brought mine from the paper to day so instead I sat on my phone and killed my eyes trying to read it. I pretty much gave up!
This is what I did:
Buy 4 Dove Shampoo and Conditioner $3 each
Buy 2 Degree Deodorant ( got the ones with a free one! yipee!) $3.49
Used 2 BOGO Dove coupon from 10/2 RP
Used $1.50 printed from the magic coupon machine
Used $2 ECB from last week
Total: $9.48
Got back: $5 ECB
I also went into Walmart to get the Cover Girl blush before it was all gone! I didn’t have any trouble at all, and grabbed a bag of grapes that looked good to soak up some overage.
This is what I did:
Buy 4 Cover Girl Blush $3.74 each
Buy 1/lb Red Grapes $1.28
Used $8/2 Cover Girl coupon 10/2 P&G
Total: $.24!
You will be needing you new inserts from the Sunday paper this week! They work well with the CVS deals!
Go get your free $2 ecb HERE!
There is a brand new CVS coupon policy that you can print and take with you and read over HERE. If you are new to CVS, go HERE and read my CVS 101. Thanks Saving Well Spending Less!
Don’t forget CVS Advisory panel is open and taking new people. This is aprogram that if you qualify for certain surveys, after you take them CVS gives you ECB’s. I have done this for a while and gotten anywhere from $2 to $20 in ECB’s.Quick sign up and start getting printable ECB’s.
I am going to just give you 1 transaction idea for now, I am going in to do my deals asap and will post them, there are so many new BOGO coupons that I have to see how this will work!
Transaction #1
Buy 6 Dove Hair Care, $3
Use 3 BOGO Dove hair care product 10/02 RP
Tota: $9.00
Get Back: $5 ECB
CVS of offering a Free $2 ECB when you go HERE and pledge to not throw away your ECB”S! This is limited to the first 500,00 people. This is so funny to me, have you ever been in line and watched the people in front of you toss their receipt or tell the cashier that they don’t want it? I have, and once I told a guy who said he didn’t want it that he had a free $5 on the bottom and that he could go back and buy the same thing he JUST bought or something else and get it for free right then. He told me, ” Naw, I can’t be bothered with that stuff, thanks anyway” I just have to think that people don’t really get it and think that it is complicated. Because I can’t imagine they would take a $5 bill, crumple it up and toss it in the trash.
I love when a deal comes together for a product that I have wanted to try but didn’t want to pay for! Both Target and Walgreens has a great deal this week on the Colgate OPTIC white toothpaste:
Colgate 360 Optic White Toothpaste 2/$7.96
$1/1 Colgate Optic White Printable

Look what came today in the mail! Those elusive CVS coupons! After all that freaking out that we didn’t get them, we finally do today and I am not all that impressed 🙂
Most of you should get them in your weekly Red Plum that comes in the mail. According to CVS at Corporate, they were really upset with the way they were distributed, as they didn’t go out as planned. Thanks Amber for the picture.
