Sunday shopping- Moral of the story-always looks around the entire store!

At first, we weren't having very much luck getting the deals at Walgreens. We tried to do a quick Almay deal at the beauty counter and were shot down trying to use the 2 Q combination. (Later, I realized that it's still a moneymaker when buying the cheaper products using 1 of the $2 Qs). The toothbrushes were nowhere to be found. We found the Celadrin pills and Plackers, but needed the Tena pads to make our scenarios work. They weren't in the normal place and I was getting so disappointed. We decided to take a stroll around the store and low and behold-in the clearance aisle-Tena pads on CLEARANCE for $6.49! Bingo-great moneymaker, $6.49 -$2.50 IP Q= $3.99 and get a $10RR back!!

Other great deals-Airwick i-motion -the compact-BOGO $7.99-I used a $4q and a $3Q w/no problems and have read that even 2 $4qs are not causing a problem. I was happy with 2 compact Airwick I-motions for $0.99 with no beeps!

Osteo Bi-Flex deal -$9.99 get $1RR. For some reason, these are ringing up BOGO!! Using 2 $6 man. Qs, (Walgreens usually lets you use 2 coupons on a BOGO deal) this is a MM. I tried it and it worked for me!! We take this stuff, we need this stuff and we love it when we can get it for better than free!

Then of course the ALMAY deal. I did try the deal and was happy with this: 1 eye make up remover $4.19-$2 beauty book Q=$2.19 and get a $5RR back!

Back to the moral of the story-don't forget to walk the entire store! We are always sniffing around. It's like a scavenger hunt and the prize is finding the very best deal.
