Walgreens

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.
