There are some great deals at Walgreens this week that with a little strategizing you can acquire for very little money out of pocket..... or OOP for those that like abbreviations......

I am starting out this week with my $10 RR left over from last week and here is my plan....... please leave me a comment and tell me what you think!

Transaction One Scenario

Buy: (1) Act Rinse, $4.99, (2) Viva Paper Towels $5.99 ea and (3) Van Camp, $1.49 and 2 Got2B Stylers $10

($4.99 + $11.98 + $4.47 + $10 = $31.44 Total)

Use: (1) $1/1 Act MQ, (2) $3 Got2b MQ, (RP 2/12/12), $.50/2 Viva MQ and $1/1 Viva SQ (-$2) and Van Camp SQ (-$2.40)

$31.44 - $13.40 (MQ & SQ) = $18.04 and Redeem $10 RR from last week =

Pay: $8.04 OOP

Get Back: (1) Act $2 RR and (1) Viva $4 RR and (1) $5 Got2b RR ($11 RRs Total)

Transaction Two Scenario

Buy: (2) Lever 2pks (BOGO) $2.79, (4) Niagara Starch, $1.29 ea, and 2 Baby Wipes, sale 2/$10, (3) Van Camp, $1.49 and (6) McCormick Spices, (reg $1.29 sale for $.69)

($2.79 + $5.16 + $10 +$4.47 +$4.14 = $26.56 Total)

Use: (2) $1/1 Lever MQ, (6) $.75/1 McCormick MQ (they only ring @ -$.69; no overages allowed @ Wags), (4) $.50/1 Niagara MQ, (1) Wipes MQ found on package, (3) Van Camps SQ ($2.40)

$26.56 - $11.54 (MQ & SQ's) = $15.02 and Redeem:

(1) $2 Act RR, (1) Viva $4 RR, (1) $5 Got2b RR = (minus $11 RR)

Pay: $4.02 OOP

What will it cost me in the end...........I Will Pay: $8.04 + $4.02 = $12.06 (plus taxes) and all these products are regularly priced @ around $75 (plus taxes)

That’s approximately a 84% savings!

Of course I did not factor in the tax as that would be very hard to do considering all the various tax rates throughout the country .... so that may drop the figure a tiny bit..... but lets just say a 80% savings is still awesome to me!!

NOW THAT'S DiVa-Licious Style!

Just wanted to take a second and pass along some great information I just finished reading and had to pass around to all my couponing friends........ of course giving credit to the source is a must.....or well my personal belief....... just my small way of showing my love and gratitude to all the people in cyber world that do all they do to help you, me and millions more by devoting many hours to digging up this type of information..... You Gotta love all the love we couponers share with each other........ With that, Thanks go out to Knitternut @ AFullCup for this heads up.....
