Black Friday Walgreens runs

Yesterday, I combined my regular Wags run with a Black Friday run. Actually, I did two runs; one about 7AM and one about 1PM.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to list all my deals because the Black Friday deals will end tonight and the others tomorrow, so it wouldn't be that beneficial. I did get my deals from www.bargainbriana.com and www.becentsable.net.

First run was a 133.96 retail. After sales, coupons and RR, my OOP was 55.06 which is a 59% savings. Here's the deal, I earned $33 in RR making my final cost 22.06 which is an 84% savings.

Second run was 78.13 retail. After sales, coupons and $29 in RR (couldn't use one since it was on the same product), my final cost was literally pennies meaning 100% savings plus the $4 in RR I earned.

So after 2 runs, I got 212.09 worth of items for 18.06 which is a savings of 91%. I will say I think my best deals were the Black Friday coupons for Wags brand ibuprofen, Zyrtec, Claritan, acetaminophen, etc for .99 each. They usually run $5-7 each. I scored some on both runs because you can't be that price for donating to CUM or our church's Anchor House!

Price Chopper Run

Here's the dish. Retail total was 66.11. After coupons and sales, my total was 26.82 which is a 60% savings.

Here are my deals. A few may have been from the 3 day sale which means you can't get them now. You can always check www.mypricechopper.com. They have a wonderful list making program along with the ads. I pretty much got all these from www.kcpennypinchinmama.com.

This item I didn't get from the site but found it right at the store. Kraft salad dressings were on sale for 2.69. Not that great of a deal. BUT right in front of the dressings were coupons for 1.50/1. Now 1.49 for a decent size Kraft dressing in not too bad. I'm learning to keep my eyes open. Even if I don't get the item right then, I always take a few in case the items goes on sale soon.

2 Walgreens in 1 day

I don't feel like adding all the details today. Sorry. Remember, I usually get my deals from www.bargainbriana.com or www.becentsable.net, so feel free to check them out.

I was very sad on my first trip because I couldn't find the Register Rewards from my last trip! UGHHHH!!! Lost money, don't like that at all!

Oh, and the reason I went twice today is because Wags had a coupon for $5 off any purchase of $25 or more. Needless to say, I broke my shopping list into two smaller lists so that I could get $10 off vs just $5!

First visit, retail 35.26. After coupons and sales, my oop was 19.97 which is a 44% savings. They gave me $5 RR making my final price 15.97 which ended up meaning a 55% savings.

Second trip, my retail was 33.75 (see, I really did break both trips down pretty evenly!) I turned in the $5 from the AM and along with the coupons and sales, my total was 12.28. That's a savings of 64%. They gave me $10 RR back making my final price 2.28 which is a savings of 93%. That's more like it!

This offer is only good through tomorrow, Nov. 9. Get free shipping on orders of $49 or more when you use the code 49SANTA. You can order online at jcp.com when prompted or mention it if you call in your order.

2 count them 2 Walgreens runs in as many days

Going to handle both of them in one post...can you handle it?

Here's the details from last night's run. My retail was 59.86, but I paid 10.28 making my savings 83%. I received 8.50 back in RR making my final OOP 1.78 which is a savings of 97%.

Here's some of my best deals. For even more deals, check out www.bargainbriana.com and www.becentsable.net.

Nyquil/Dayquil is 2/9.00 plus $3 RR making the final price 2/6.00. I used 2 coupons for $1.50/1 from 11/1 PG which made my final price 2/3.00 or 1.50 each.

Dial foaming hand soap was 1.99 plus $1 RR making it .99. SS 10/4 had a coupon for .35/1 making the final price .64.

Gilette Body Wash/Deoderant 2/$8. Receive $2 in RR making it 2/$6. I had a B1G1 Q from 11/1 PG which means I paid 2/$2.

Ricola Cough Dropsw were on sale for 1.29 with coupon from ad. Combine that with a B1G1 bag of Mixed berry free from 10/11 SS and you have 2 for 1.29 or .65 each.

Kashi was on sale at 2/$5 or 2.50 each. I had coupons I received from vocalpoint.com for $3/1 which means they paid me $1 to take 2 boxes out of the store.

Today, I went back to pick up some things I missed. I also picked up some Maxwell house coffee which was a good price at 5.99 each and a coupon for $1.00/2 but still messed up my totals some.

Retail was 56.30. I paid 17.02 which is a 70% savings. I received $10 in RR making my final $7.02 which then becomes a savings of 95%.

Deals:

• Johnson & Johnson First Aid products are 3.99 each plus you receive $8 in RR when you buy 3. That's not a bad deal by itself. But I used $1/1 coupon from SS 8/2 and got 2 more $1/1 coupons from Printable Coupon save $1.00 which means I paid 3 items for 8.97 and then received $8 in RR making it actually .97 for 3 items. (These will go to City Union Mission.)
• Herbal Essences items are 2/$7 and your receive $2 RR. B1G1 in 10/11 PG means I paid 2/$3.50, received $2 RR making the final price 2/1.50 or .75 each.

Believe it our not, I'm gathering some more deals together to go back. I still have coupons for $1.50/1 Kashi. $1 for a box of Kashi is a VERY good deal. Might score some more Ricola, too.
