CVS & Walgreens Deals Starting Sept. 19, 2010

2010-09-18T18:03:00.000-07:00

I've had a crazy week and have not been able to do my own match ups for CVS this week, I do apologize. For this week I am going to direct you to another site that I follow and enjoy. Her name is Liza and her site is Addicted to Saving. She has put together this week's CVS deals for you, GO HERE to see all of the great deals Liza has lined up for us this week. I will however, put together a scenario for all of you by tomorrow so you can get the best deals, with the least amount OOP.

This week at CVS you can get some FREE Revlon lipstick, FREE Right Guard Deo, FREE Edge Shaving Gel, & a FREE Bayer Contour Blood Glucose Meter, plus quite a few other great deals on food! Head on over to Addicted to Saving to see the entire run down!

*******************************************************************************

For this week's Walgreens deals head on over to Wild For Wags for the list of Superdeals starting tomorrow! There are some really great deals to be had this week. Some Money Makers and cheap laundry detergent.

Here is an important tip when shopping at Walgreens and using coupons with their sales. Walgreens has lots of their own coupons plus they do accept MFQs. BUT Walgreens has very specific coupon policies which can make things a bit confusing. So follow these simple Rules:

1. Carry with you Walgreen's Coupon Policy, which you can PRINT HERE: often times even the employees and managers are not farmiliar with Walgreen's coupon policy, so you will more than likely need to refer to it.

2. Walgreens will not accept more coupons then the number of items you are purchasing, the register will beep and not accept, if this happens you will need to throw in a 'Filler Item'.

3. Hand your coupons in a very specific order and ONE AT A TIME. This is important otherwise the register will beep and won't accept your coupons.

Here's the coupon order:

1. MFQ First
2. In Ad Coupon from Wags' weekly flyer or ad
3. Walgreens Monthly Booklet Q: These can be found by the stand that also holds the weekly ad.

You may not always have ALL three coupons listed above, you may only have one of the above or two of the above. But in any case that is the order you need to present your coupons. Here's an example from this coming week's sales on Trident (taken directly from Wild For Wags site):

Trident 18 piece, Dentyne 9 or 12 piece $.79 (w/in ad Q)
-$1/3 Trident gum, single packs – 09-12-10 SS
-B1G1 Dentyne Pure BOGO up to $2.00 Tearpad
-$1/2 Trident PRINT (Facebook Coupon)
-$1/2 Trident Gum, 18pk Sept. Coupon Book (5190)
= MONEY MAKER w/ MQ, IN AD Q & SEPT Q BOOKLET!

In this case you would present first the MFQ, once that is scanned, hand the cashier the In Ad Q, then finally the hand the cashier the Sept. Booklet Q. This will give you the MM scenario. However, note, you will need to throw in another item to cover the MM (really this is more of an Overage type item, because you aren't receiving any money back) because Walgreen's will not give you money back.
