Walgreen Tips

Walgreens aka WAGS

- you can use a manufacturer coupon plus a walgreens coupon on one item.

- when you use a walgreens coupon and buying multiple of that item, you only need one coupon, it will take that amount off for how many items you have

- sometimes with coupon amounts you'll actually be "making" money so you need to buy more than those items...they aren't going to give you money back, etc.  The order of your coupons comes into play to, always give the manufacture coupon first then the walgreens coupon.  This is a scenario from the other week:  In the wags weekly ad on front page was a in ad wags coupon that made kleenex $1.09 a box.  Ok so I had mfq (manufacturer) coupons that were 50 cents off 3 boxes and there was a $1 instant savings wags coupon in their monthly coupon book.  So if you do the math.... $1.09 - $1 - .16 is negative amount (money maker)  So what you do is make sure you hand your coupons in a certain order.  The order you want to hand would be your mfq, then the $1 instant savings wag coupon, then the $1.09 ad price coupon.  If I have more things I'm buying with coupons I generally mix them too so they aren't right next to each in order.  So I bought 9 boxes kleenex, 1 cottonelle, 1 box trash bags....my coupons were in order of 3 kleenex mfq, 1 cottonelle mfq, $1 instant savings on kleenex, in ad coupon for cottonelle and in ad coupon for kleenex. 

- you'll see when I give you wags scenarios for the week that I do multiple transactions each week.  I will do a couple each time I go, never had a problem the cashiers are ok with it.  That is how I maximize my register rewards (RRs) and rolling them into more and not paying $$$ for stuff.

- most of the stores take internet coupons (I have only heard of one store on Mineral Point Rd in Madison, WI that doesn't)

Piggly Wiggly Deals - 11/18/09 - 1126/09

Each Piggly Wiggly store's ad may vary so please check your ad before you head out. This is only some of the deals from the ad, there are quite a bit more.  If I missed a great deal, please let me know and I will add it to the list.  Note:  not all Piggly Wiggly stores take internet coupons.  My store does take internet coupons but only up to $1.50 off.  So they won't take anything over that or ones that are BOGO.  Call your store to find out if they take internet coupons.

Why did I start this blog?

I've started to use coupons seek out great deals.  I've found out that doing this is just awesome.  I can get lots of stuff for free or almost free.  A few of my fellow couponers, deal seekers, and friends wanted me to start a blog to post the deals I come up with and get, so here I am.  I live in Southern WI, I'm a mother of 2 young boys  and I work a full-time job.  You'll see posts for deals for Walgreens, Pick N Save/Copps, Piggly Wiggly, Target, Wal-Mart and who knows where else.  So I guess I hope to help others out by finding great deals out there.  Make sure you check out my favorite sites on the left hand side, these are the sites that got me started and helped me out!
