Walgreens Sale--June 20-26th

This is a GREAT time to stock up on Gillette or Old Spice items! Also Herbal Essences, Aussie, contact solution, Lysol, tampons and so on!

I got 9 Old Spice deodorants (the only kind my husband will use), 2 Old Spice body sprays, 3 Old spice body washes, 1 Herbal Essences hair spray, & 2 Aussie products.

Total Spent:  $43.89 (if you subtract the $35, it's about $9 total--Amazing!!)

Received $35 in register rewards  
(Walgreens cash to use on my next shopping trip--pictured below)
Bought:  17 items
Saved:  $38.44  (not including the register rewards)

So How did I do it?  
The Walgreens list is on the grocersmarts link--it will guide you as to what the sale is and where to get the coupons.  The store also labels all items that have a register reward, so you will know if you are getting the correct item.  
The sales are: buy $25 worth of Old Spice and/or Gillette items and get $10 in register rewards (the store will have items labeled that are part of the sale).  Then there is a register reward of $4.50 when you buy Old Spice or Gillette body wash.  And $2 register rewards for Aussie and Herbal Essences (and much more--check out grocerysmarts).  To equal your $25--you must have at least $25--$24.99 won't work.  So you generally have to go over a little to make it work for you.  But the awesome thing is that it just has to equal $25 BEFORE you use the coupons!  So with a buy 1 get one free coupon--you are getting everything half off, plus the $10.  Also, you can not use a register reward in a purchase in which you expect to get a register reward--it will cancel out the register reward to be received.
So here is what I did:

I did this in two transactions because you can only get each kind of Register Reward in one transaction. 
The first transaction was all the "white" deodorants and one body wash--using 2 sets if the the "buy 1 deodorant get 1 free coupons, and 1 set of the "buy 1 body wash get 1 free deodorant" coupon--along with an Aussie product and an Herbal essences product and their coupons. 
I received $10, $4.50, and 2 $2 register rewards with the first transaction. 
The second transaction was the other old spice items--using 2 sets of "buy 2 deodorants, get 1 body spray free", then 1 coupon for "buy 1 body wash, get 1 free", and then finally another Aussie product. 
I received $10, $4.50, and $2 register rewards.

If it sounds tricky, just go try it out--you will get the hang of it and be grateful for all of your savings!!  Remember it takes a few tries to get something down--don't give up--it gets easier and easier and way worth the money saved!!
