$5 off $20 at Walgreen's

Now I wish I had waited!! If you haven't gone to Walgreen's yet, you can now get all that stuff for about $15. Here is the link for the coupon, supplies limited.
Or, if you jumped the gun (like me), you can get the L'Oreal Age Perfect Pro-Calcium Radiance Perfector EasySaver, free after rebate item. It's $19.99, so get a small filler item, you'll pay about $15 and get the full $19.99 back (+10% if you put it on a giftcard).

My plan for Walgreens this week

I just made my shopping list for Walgreens. I figured since I write it all up on the computer anyway, I might as well post it so some else can benefit from it, too. If anyone wants the actual spreadsheet, so you can calculate based on your coupons, taxes, etc. let me know.

Check here if you don't understand all my abbreviations.

I'll be doing 2 transactions to benefit from the RR and get more pumpkin & evaporated milk.
#1-Kellogg's (4), Libby's (2), Carnation(2), Pampers (1)
#2-everything else

I will end up paying $20.91 for $43.25 of merchandise (that I regularly use or can donate). *Without the diapers it's only $12.42!

I'm considering waiting a couple days to see if Walgreen's offers a $5/$20 coupon again. I would do it all in one transaction-pay $18.91 and have 3RR for next time!

See the full flyer for Walgreen's for 11/9-11/15/2008, go to Walgreen's website and enter your ZIP.

Here are the links for the printable coupons.

Progresso Soup coupon
Betty Crocker frosting coupon
Carnation coupon
Libby's pumpkin coupon
Kellogg's coupon

If you have access to multiple computers, you can print more coupons. (The Progresso soup is actually limit 4; the Kellogg's NPQ are for specific kinds, while the online ones are for any) The limit is usually 2 per computer. To do this, you click the back button after your first coupon prints.

A lot of things are free after ECBs ("coupons" good for money off your next purchase. If you split up your purchases, you can use them to pay for the other free after ECBs things.) There are toothbrushes/paste, body wash, cheap shampoo.

If you have a Staples close by, they have a good deal-possibly free M product w/printable $5 off coupon. http://www.moneysavingmom.com/money_saving_mom/2008/11/staples-free-m-products.html

Walgreens has some good deals on baking stuff, mostly with printable coupons. http://www.moneysavingmom.com/money_saving_mom/2008/11/walgreens-deals-for-the-week-of-november-9-15-2008.html

Vickie's online

Get 2 bras & a panty for $19.99 inc. S&H with coupon code 25PTY.

Fine print:

You get $25 off 2 bras + a free panty. The bras have to be regular price and the panty is a VS Cotton panty (plain colors-white, ivory, miami tan, black, spray blue). You put all three in your cart, full price, then enter the coupon code during checkout. It should change the panty price to zero.

The Intimissi bras are only $19.50 each, so they're marked down to $7 each after the code.

There are also sweaters on sale for $19. If you use the code RUSH08 you get a free lip gloss set with sweater purchase. After you enter the coupon code, it automatically puts the correct set in your shopping bag for $0.

I just did both these deals tonight (total $42.23 for 2 bras, panty, sweater, lip gloss set = $86.50 value), so hopefully they work for you.
