Alright, I think I have Walgreens figured out for this week. Who knew making money with coupons could get so complicated!
I'm just going to post my proposed rounds. I haven't been out yet so the prices are what I'm finding on the internet. Also I'm hoping to snag a few more copies of coupons so I'm not sure if I will be able to complete all the rounds. This is just going to be a best case scenario.
Some of you might have more copies of coupons then me and so less, but at lest this will give you an idea of what is possible and you can customize it to the coupons you have and the items you want to buy, or are able to find in store.
Round #1
4 Sambucal $11.99, -$4IP, -$10.00 ESQ (in WG book)=4/$8.04 overage
8 Dove soap $.99 with in ad coupon=8/$7.92
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need as filler)
Total $.27 + $3.66 sales tax=$3.93 OOP if sales tax is calculated on the pre-coupon total.
Receive $10 RR
Round #2
Vaseline lotion 10oz $2.69, -$1.50/1 MF=1/1.19
Blink eye drops $7.99, -$2/1MF=1/5.99
Colgate FreshMax $3.29, -$.75/1MF=1/$2.54
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need filler)
total $10.11 + $.91 sales tax
-$10RR from Dove soap =$1.02 OOP
Receive $8 RR from Blink, $3.50 RR from Colgate, $2 RR from Vaseline
Round #3
8 Dove travel/trial Deodorant $.99, -$1.50/2=8/$1.92
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need filler)
Total $2.31 + $.54=$2.85
Use $2 RR from Vaseline=$.85 OOP
Receive $10 RR, Still have $8 Blink, $3.50 Colgate
Round #4
Vaseline lotion 10oz $2.69, -$1.50/1 MF=1/1.19
Blink eye drops $7.99, -$2/1MF=1/5.99
Colgate FreshMax $3.29, -$.75/1MF=1/$2.54
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need filler)
total $10.11 + $.91 sales tax
-$10RR from Dove soap =$1.02 OOP
Receive $8 RR from Blink, $3.50 RR from Colgate, $2 RR from Vaseline. Still have $8 Blink, $3.50 Colgate from round #2
Round #5
8 Dove soap $.99 with in ad coupon=8/$7.92
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need as filler)
Total before tax $8.31, + $.54=$8.85
-$8 RR from Blink= $.85OOP
Receive $10RR
Round #6
Vaseline lotion 10oz $2.69, -$1.50/1 MF=1/1.19
Blink eye drops $7.99, -$2/1MF=1/5.99
Colgate FreshMax $3.29, -$.75/1MF=1/$2.54
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need filler)
total $10.11 + $.91 sales tax
-$10RR from Dove soap =$1.02 OOP
Receive $8 RR from Blink, $3.50 RR from Colgate, $2 RR from Vaseline
Round #7
8 Dove soap $.99 with in ad coupon=8/$7.92
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need as filler)
Total before tax $8.31, + $.54=$8.85
-$8 RR from Blink= $.85OOP
Receive $10RR
Round #8
Vaseline lotion 10oz $2.69, -$1.50/1 MF=1/1.19
Blink eye drops $7.99, -$2/1MF=1/5.99
Colgate FreshMax $3.29, -$.75/1MF=1/$2.54
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need filler)
total $10.11 + $.91 sales tax
-$10RR from Dove soap =$1.02 OOP
Receive $8 RR from Blink, $3.50 RR from Colgate, $2 RR from Vaseline
For those loosing track I should now have
2 $8.00 RR for Blink
4 $3.50 RR for Colgate
3 $2.00 RR for Vaseline
My total OOP this far should be $10.56 or less depending on tax. This means so far a profit of $25.44
At this point I am out of MF coupons. My plan is to roll the rest of the RR back into Dove as follows to maximize my profit.
Round #9,#10
8 Dove soap $.99 with in ad coupon=8/$7.92
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need as filler)
Total before tax $8.31, + $.54=$8.85
-$8 RR from Blink=$.85OOP
Receive $10RR each time
Total OOP for 10 rounds $12.26, Total RR after 10 rounds 2 $10 RR from Dove, 4 $3.50 RR from Colgate, and 3 $2.00 RR from Vaseline. Total Profit $27.74. $10 of my OOP total is sales tax. I'm not sure if I will be paying sales tax or not so my OOP could be as low as $2.26.
My plan is to take the RR from this week and roll them into next week. I might be able to come up with a few more copies of coupons, but for now this is what I can depend on. I'm not really sure if I will be able to come up with enough product in store to make this work, but we will see. We all know there are lots of WG around the area so hopefully I'll be able to do it.

Random Walgreens shopping list
I'm trying to get a handle of what is going on at Walgreens. I really want to do the B $25 Get $10 Huggies deal next week, but I don't want to spend a lot OOP just to end up with $100 in RR in the end.
My goal is to find things this week that would give me an overage in RR to use on next week. There are a couple of things here and there that I am finding, but my head is so stuffy that I'm having a hard time keeping it straight. I thought maybe if I put it all up here that I would be able to sort it out, but also others would be able to use some of the deals that I find.
3-1-09
Starbucks Caramel Macchiato Truffles $4x2
-$6/2 WG ESC
-$1/1 MF
=2/Free
Gilette travel size body wash $.99
-$2/1
or $2/2
=2/+$1.01 overage or 2/Free
Dove body bars
$.99 with in ad coupon
(coupon says limit 3, but usually they will let you get as many as you want_
There is supposed to be a monthly deal for Buy 8 dove products get $8 RR, but it is actually printing out $10 RR.
buy 8 for 7.92 get $10 RR=Profit of $2.08 before tax.
Your should be able to take your $10 Dove RR and roll it into this;
Blink $7.99
Colgate $3.29
Vaseline intensive rescue lotion $2.69
-$2/1 Blink MF insert
-$.75/1 Colgate MF insert
-$1/1 Vaseline
-$10 RR
=$.22 before tax Receive $8 RR for Blink, $3.50 for Colgate, $2 for Vaseline
Take the $8 RR and roll it back into 8 Dove bars and get another $10 RR. You will need to get a small filler in order to be able to use the $8 RR.
Keep the $3.50 and $2 RR for diapers next week, or anything else you might need. After both rounds you would end spending $8.14 OOP before taxes and have $5.50 in RR.
After the first round you would be able to roll them back and forth with almost no OOP before tax and grow your $3.50 and $2 RRs for other purchases.
4-8oz Ritz crackers $1.99, BOGO
-$2/2 MF
=2/Free +$.01 overage
3-8-09
Buy $25 specified products get $10 RR
Huggies $10, -$5 IP, -$3 IP, $1 WG coupon from the WG coloring book
Kotex $3, -$1/1 MF
It looks like the trial size dove deodorant might work for the B8G$10RR deal. This deal is going on all month long so if it works then you can take your $10RR from the Huggies deal and roll it into the Dove deal next week and go back and forth. Still waiting for a few more people to try this, but I'll update when I know more about it. If it works this would be great. It would really help in keeping the OOP down for the diaper deal.
I'm sure there is more going on the next two weeks, but it is getting late so I'll have to try and find them tomorrow.

Cheap or free London Broil at Super Target
On the bottom of the Sunday Trib there is an ad for Super Target. One of the items listed if London Broil for $1.99 per lb. It sounds like most packages are aright around 1 lb.
There is a new Target coupon (TC) for $2 per package of Sutton & Dodge steak or roast. Pairing the coupon with the sale means lots of free or cheap meat.
Jason checked the Chaska ST this evening. They were completley out and had taken down the sign. We are headed to Savage tonight and will report back on the amount of stock. Make sure to get a raincheck if your store if is out.
As a side note, Target had a deal like this a few years ago on chuck steak. We got a bunch and froze it. They tend to do alright if you want to freeze them in the store packaging, but found that you could generally fit two pieces side by side in a one gallon zip bag and it would take up a lot less space in the freezer. Just a tip for those of you planning on getting LOTS.

GREAT Huggies IP coupons
This weekend I came across some great Huggies IP. The first is for $5/1 Huggies Gentle Care and the second is $3/1 Huggies Natural fit diapers. Each can be printed twice per computer.
There seem to be a lot of different links out there for these coupons, but so far I have only been able to print 2 total of each coupon no matter how many links I find.
The $5 coupon if good for any Gentle Care item. The diapers in this style only go up to size 2, but they also make wipes, rash cream, and changing pads
For the $3 coupon the diaper sizes are 3 and up.
Here are the links for you all. If anyone doesn't want them, I'll gladly take them off your hands, hint hint ;)

March Budget
I really want to try and start the month out right and keep up to date with the budget this month. I'm sure it will depend on if "baby" comes this month, but at least I am off to a good start.
I ended last month about $7 over budget, but still had a $10 OYNO at Cub. Slightly over budget, but not too bad being until baby comes and gets a little bigger I am planning in my head that we won't really be able to stick to the $85 each month. I've been doing pretty good, but it is a little impractical when I have to depend on someone to go shopping with me each time. It can be a lot to ask of people.
I have an awful cold and needed some honey to put in my tea so I went out to Target yesterday morning. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that Ortega taco seasoning was $.47. I knew I has $1/2 coupons so I brought those along. Here is what I ended up with:
24oz Honey $4.59
14 Ortega taco seasoning $.47=$6.58
2 Ortega taco sauce $1.27=$2.54
Used 8 $1/2 Ortega MF
Total $5.71
Total for the month $5.71
Total left to spend $79.29 +$10 OYNO at Cub
