Walgreens Trip 9/19 - Saved 79%


Walgreens is fairly decent this week.  There is the possibility of free toothpaste, but my coupon wasn't high enough in value to make it free so I decided to skip it.  Also, I should note that the register reward for the Glade deal did not print out on either transaction so a manager had to come and ring up 2 fake transactions to pay for them.  He used the candle refills to do it, NOT the candle holders, and it worked.  So even though the tag below the candle holders indicated that it was included, they didn't print, so watch out if you want to do the same deal as me.  Lastly, I had to add a filler item to my first transaction which still makes no sense to me since the subtotal was high enough and I had plenty of items without coupons (I had more items than coupons), but I took the $1 hit and moved on.  Didn't feel like arguing.

Transaction #1:

$2.50 - Glade Candle Holder
$2.50 - Glade Candle Refills
- $2.50 from Buy the candle holder get the refill free from 8/22 SS
