WALGREENS RUN WEEK OF 4/15 - 4/21
OH YEAH!!! WHAT A WEEK!!!!

Well...I'm totally thrilled with this week!!! I know some are gonna have issue with the quantities I got on the Nasal Ease...let me just say that I did NOT clear a single shelve. Actually I did, but it was on Friday. Two of my stores got a last minute shipment and by the time I got there, there were only 6 left at each store so I grabbed them up (that was my last 12 transactions). The rest of the week, I made sure I left plenty at each store (the advantage of having 5 wags close to home/work). Now...on to my week



Started with 12-$4RRs, 12-$3RRs ($84 total)

1 Nasal Ease $9

i could not find any nasal ease here. not even a shadow of its box.

[candycane_76053]

Wow you are awesome. Kudos!

[tagarza]

I need to ask my WAGS if they'll adjust a RR down, wonder if they will??? Great haul!

[mona6380]

awesome..

[bettylove]

That's good I still have 1 more day of shopping & 10 nasal ease coupons left & 13 similasan left one of my wags has plenty of them so I will go there tomorrow the last day of the sale and buy that & get everything else I wanted & needed like diapers body washes & more aleve so I'll be rolling those rewards ........

[kis309]

Awesome job!...Heck of a week for MM'ing at WAGS...

[wonder]

I think everyone who found their wags with stock on hand had a great week . I had an awesome week stocking up on toilet paper and the Lysol cleaning products as these were what I needed the most. I did score 6 Pepsi next packs too but this week satisfied my stockpile tomorrow I'm looking forward I scoring the garnier fructise hair stuff cuz I'm running low on hair products

[leeng]

Not 1 Nasal Ease in the store all week i guess they were bought out Sunday and didnt even restocked checked again toda

[Lacey424]

Congratulations on the great job you did!! I have no problem with your quantities at all. Glad you had stores with stock.

That's a great haul and amazing savings!

[bnorris10]

Least I don't feel bad with my haul of 24 each of the allergy

I got

24 Nasal Ease
24 Similason
48 Packs of block/shredded cheese
10 Mondo Juice Packs
16 Boxes of Macaroni N Cheese
28 Packs of Plates
Tons of various Fillers

I don't have exact total but it was around $7 Mark out of Pocket
And for using my wcard I got back about $14 this week
Which means I actually made about $7 from shopping

I also did not clear the shelf but once and that was because my store only had 2 to begin with

I love this week .... I am looking forward to my week next week as well ... Although not as cheap as this week but I am still gonna be able to stock up on some spices and stuff

[mavarela5]

Wow! (my mouth is wide open) all i can say is Wow! You did a great job. I have about 8 more similasan coupons. I hope I find them. (just closed my mouth) LOL

[kristasu]

[kristasu]

oops i forgot to write that i am totally impressed with how you did.....I would love to be a tag along for a day....AMAZING

[Basketlover]

Great shopping How are you going to spend them?

We never got the q so I traded Monday and got 10 Friday in the mail. I was able to find 1 Wags with 15+ so I took 10. Now I need to figure out what I will use them on

It's the matter of finding the right cashiers ... There are some cashiers that if i go in the store and they are there i will do my one transaction and leave only because they are cranky pants and I don't like dealing with them but then there are others that i know i can bring 100 transactions up to the counter and they won't care like this morning i did 8 transactions ... It also helps if you show courtesy to other shoppers and know what your doing with your transactions I have one cashier she gets irriated with alot of couponers but she tells me i dont mind you because you know what your doing you dont need me to explain it to you or returning 20 things because you did something wrong and you dont hold up the line

Its the couponers that hold up lines, don't know what they are doing, keep returning and refunding stuff because they did it wrong that give cashiers headaches

She more then likely has already spent them all by flipping them all back and forth she should only have the RR's left from her last transactions

[healthysaver]

Wow, that's great. With your multiple transaction, did you do them back to back? Did they limit number of Nasal ease you could buy? Do you have any plans how you will roll Nasal ease and Similasan RR?

All 5 of my 'local' Wags know me by sight now. I walk in and they're all "Hi Chris, gonna be a good week?" LOL I try to ALWAYS use the Beauty counter to check out because I don't want to hold up the 'main' registers. When I do that, they really don't care. It also helps that I plan out my trips in advance and have the coupons sorted so that I just walk up and hand them the first coupons, then the next, and the next, makes for REALLY smooth transactions. There are some couponers that come to the same stores and the cashiers can't stand them because they are COMPLETELY disorganized. That's when the cashiers usually have a problem. If I ever do use the 'main' registers, I'll do 1 transaction, let the next person go, do another transaction, let the next person go, etc etc etc. Makes for a long day but I'm never in a rush so I don't mind. The managers love that I do that too, they tell me I make a good name for couponers

If you're in NH, I've got no problem having a tag-a-long I've actually taught some of the people at the stores, that see me couponing, how to do it. Sometimes it's amazing the amount of questions people have and the general lack of knowledge and/or misconceptions about couponing

My transactions are broken out over 4-5 different Wags (depends on the week, stock, my time, etc). Typically I'll do 10-20 transactions at a single store...sometimes more if they are REALLY wel stocked/prepared. I do usually do the trans back to back @ the beauty counter. Usually my breakdown in these posts is actually exactly how they went in the store...other times, I actually did 10 of the first trans & 10 of the second in 1 store, then 2 of the first and 2 of the second in another (as an example) and then I condense/group the trans for these posts. As for limiting, sometimes the stores do limit, other times they don't. This week, they had enough stock that none of them limited the #. I always try to be considerate though and not grab all of them (another reason the SMs like me).

The wife says she wants a few for...stuff. No clue what she wants to get . The bulk of them are just gonna get rolled next week. I've got 4 females in the house so feminine products are always something to jump on. Other than all that...I really don't know

[pjfrn]

I am so jealous we do not have a Walgreens but I live by four CVS's.

[Sunbladedrgn]

The only reason I don't like CVS is because I do so many transactions (so many deals) and the CVS card limits me to 1 or 2 deals...that's it. I also found too great a gap between good CVS deals so I ended up use the EC bucks on anything and starting from scratch all the time. That was just me though...I know lots of people that do CVS all the time and rock it.

I know what you mean the cashiers don't mind me doing separate transactions because they say I am so organize and I always ask before I do multiple transactions if it is okay with them & they never mind & I also let people check out behind me because I know I'm going to take a while. They also love to see how I get my bill down and ask questions like how many newspapers do you buy a week & things like that.
