1-2-12 – More Great Walgreens Deals

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on January 2, 2012 3 comments

I hadn’t planned on going back to Walgreens this soon but my sister and I decided to go because she wanted to see if the Walgreens by my house had the organic hairspray on sale. We also wanted to try getting the free nail polish remover. Here are the deals we did-

Buy 2 Studio 35 Nail Polish Removers 8-10 oz., 2/$2
Use the $1/1 Studio 35 Polish Remover 8-16 oz., Walgreens January Coupon Book (deducts $1 per nail polish remover)
Cost after coupons- Free!
Note- These make fantastic filler items because the only coupon they require is the Walgreens coupon so they increase your item count and you can use more manufacture coupons.
Also the cashier told us that there is no limit on the coupon so you can get more than two with one coupon.

TWO TYLENOL COLD LIQUID, on sale 2/$10
Get $5 Register Rewards when you buy two Tylenol Cold
Use two $2/1 Tylenol Cold blinkie found near product at Walgreens
Cost $6, but receive $5 Register Rewards
Cost after coupons- $1 or $0.50 each
Note- You will also receive a catalina coupon for Free Breathe Right Strips with this purchase

Thanks to Couponaholic.net for these deal ideas.

(2) Buy 2 Triaminic Kids Pain Reliever, on sale 2/$10
Use two $3/1 Triaminic Fever Reducer Pain Reliever manufacturer coupon, 12/4 SS
and use the $1/1 Triaminic coupon in the Walgreens January coupon book (Note- I was able to use this coupon for $1 off but it is really for the 2 pack Triaminic so it will beep and will not subtract the $2 off that a lot of couponing sites are claiming it will. I would not plan being able to use it.)
Price after coupons- $3 and receive $5 RR

RenPure Organic Hairspray- On Sale for $1.79

Eos Lip Balm at $2.99
Receive $2 Register Rewards
Price after Register Rewards- .99 cents
