Just a local sale, or should I be looking for this?? I've only seen them at $13.99.

Thanks!

Awesome job shopping!

[elena_398]

The med is a YMMV thing, however, all my area Wags has them on special for $1 after using ESC.

Even if your store has them for 13.99- Used your ESC coupon which takes off $10. Then go to the Sambucol site and there is a printable $4 coupon. So you can get it free too! Plus inside the boxes is a $3 coupon.

This is absolutely inspiring... my husband is very supportive and thinks it's great I am saving so much... but this had him bulled over. I read the list word for word... he is in awe. Congratulations on such a Fantastic shopping trip.

I am new to this, can you please explain how you got the garnier for free? Oh, and where is everyone getting all the manufacture coupons? Thanks!

There is a $2 walgreens coupon in their monthly easysaver book and there is a $1 manufacturer coupon making them free since they are on sale for $2.99

I get my extra manufacturer coupons from coupon clippers.

Thanks, is coupon clippers a website or do you mean just different sources like smartsource, redplum, etc.? Can you get any of them online? I just started so I do not have these manufacturing coupons - I will start getting the sunday paper starting today!

[Ginkers]

Wow, great run! Do you look for the manager and ask them before you shop?

[mdrlnya]

Nice trip!

The manager pretty much knows me as I go in there every saturday (they start their sales for Sunday by 6pm). The manager and cosmetic gal checked me out. I asked right away as I knew there may be limits on the Garnier. She told me she over-ordered and I could get as many as I wanted. I told her how many coupons and she just said go for it. No one else touched it while I was there. And I was there there for over an hour. Same with the coffee-mate. I think she doesn't mind me getting so much as I always ask her. Now there has been times where she'll say to not get XXX amount as they didn't have enough etc. Because I am considerate and never argue, She is good to me. It helps to become friends with the managers.

Thanks! I'm going to have to check and see if my walgreens has the gortons shrimp on clearance, love that stuff and still have some dollar off q's! Thanks again!

sorry, yes, coupon clippers is a website. There is a link under the coupon menu at the top of the page.

[Pacer]

Wow! That is awesome. You really rocked WAGS this week!

[angnstang]

The day shift at walgreens would not let me get so much..but at night with the high shcoolers there, they just ring whatever up..LOL

[elena_398]

Mines the opposite at my one wags. I try to avoid it at all costs (thankfully its not the one where I got all this from).

The one closest to me is getting pretty bad. Day shift... Great. No problems. Friendly and accepts all coupons, etc. They love to see the OOP go down so low.

Then there is night shift there. Coupon haters. Unfriendly. They limit everything. Question coupon usage, etc. Its a older manager and an even older cashier. I stopped going after 10pm when they come on shift

If I order from them will I get them before the sale is over?

[Debnmarv261]
