There’s a new purchase discount coupon available for Walgreens: Get $5 off when you purchase $25 or more in products. Remember that the $25 is after all coupons, including register rewards. This coupon is available Today 8/5 and tomorrow 8/6 only. Here’s my scenario to get better than free food because that’s the stuff I like to get free:
$8 Buy 4 Poptarts
$5 Buy 2 Kelloggs cereals
$4 Buy 2 boxes of Nutri-Grain bars
$4 Buy 2 boxes of Cheez it Crackers
$8 Buy 4 Ragu sauces
$8 Buy 4 Skippys
=$37 subtotal before coupons
-$1.50 Use two $0.75/2 Ragu coupons from 8/2 RP insert (other areas will get different values up to $1.25/2)
-$2 Use four $0.50/1 Skippy Coupons from 8/2 RP insert
-$2 Use two $1/2 Poptart coupons from 8/2 RP insert
-$1 use one $1/2 Cheez it coupon from 8/2 RP insert
- $1 use one $1/2 Kelloggs cereal from 8/2 RP insert
-$1 when you use one $1/2 Nutrigrain coupon from 8/2 inserts
=$ 28.50 subtotal after coupons
-$5 when you use $5/$25 Walgreens coupon
=$23.50 out of pocket and you get back $10 RR from Ragu/Skippy, $5 RR from Poptarts/Nutrigrain, $2 RR from Kelloggs cereal. Then submit this receipt for the Fuel for School rebate and get an additional $10 mailed to you. Pay $23.50 and get $27 back, sounds like a good deal to me.
What are your plans?

I have another deal scenario listed on my blog: http://luv2bfrugal.blogspot.com/2009/08/525-at-walgreens-85-and-86.html
$21.47 OOP with $24.50 back in RR
That’s a great scenario!
I came up with a $2.09 money-maker and every part of your body will be clean!

Nice Deal for the Kellogg’s. I have two money making plans –
one $5.39 profit and one $2.18 profit.

Love to see everyone’s deals
I posted an $11.41 moneymaker scenario that only requires one set of Sunday coupons: http://tinyurl.com/lsyeev
Plus I’ve got a MckLinky up if any fellow bloggers want to link in their scenarios.
Hmm… I can’t decide if I want to forgo using the $10 RRs I have on hand so that I can use this coupon on my order…will have to do some math!
Here is my plan thanks for sharing your plan got me started to come up with one that fits our household which is just the 2 of us

I came up with a scenario at http://www.saveathomemommy.com/2009/08/5-off-25-purchase-at-walgreens.html and also posted a linky for others to share their great ideas!
the cheez it cracker coupon linked is for new 13.7 oz whole grain flavor only.. I don’t think this is included in the offer for the RR (ad states 7.5 oz or 9 oz cheez it) or that wags is carrying that new type anyway
Your scenario includes buying 2 boxes of Nutri-grain bars but you list to use two $1/2 coupons. You could only use one $1/2 coupons for that scenario making the grand total $23 OOP, but still not a bad deal!
when you say that you use 4 coupons for Skippy, that means you need to get your hands on four inserts?
The cheese its on sale aren’t a large enough size to qualify for the rebate!
Thanks guys! I fixed the scenario to reflect your comments.
Mercedes
Just did this; printed it like a recipe and it worked!! Thank you so much
No the cheez-its aren’t the right ones and yes you only use one coupon for the Nutrigrain bars.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks Mercedes. I am so excited, I did this tonight. I actually split the order with my mom since we each only get one paper…and don’t really need 4 peanut butters! lol
Also I am in Southern CA and our coupons were a little different, where we only needed 2 papers (ragu and skippy were higher value and off of 2).
As far as the comment about the cheese its, it’s the 9oz size that is onsale for $2 that DOES qualify for the rebate.
Made it to Walgreens last night. Great trip. My dh was impressed with my savings. Of course we have 8 MORE Ragu’s in the cupboard
