If you have a Facebook profile, you can get a coupon code for a free 4.5″ x 6″ purse photo book at Walgreens on August 25. Just be sure to “like” Walgreens and check the Facebook page for the code on Wednesday.

The coupon code is only good on Wednesday, so you’ll have to act quickly to redeem it. You can upload photos any time between now and when the coupon expires on Wednesday night.

Become a fan of Walgreens on Facebook and get free shipping from 8AM – 12AM Central. Check the Fan Offer tab for details.

I did a quick scan of the sale items on Walgreens.com, and you can get some decent deals on nuts and other items in the “sale” area of the site. Look for the 2/$2.11 nuts. They raised the price on some to $1.99, but the cashews and almonds are still 2/$2.11.

Make it an even better deal by going through one of these sites:

– Ebates.com – 4% (plus $5 sign-up bonus for new users) – pay out is every three months if you have $5.01+ in your account

– Cashbaq.com – 4% (plus $5 sign-up bonus for new users) – pay out is once a month if you have $10+ in your account.

- Mr. Rebates 4% (plus $5 sign-up bonus for new users) – pay out is whenever you have $10+ in your account and request your payment.

Print this coupon to get $5 off purchases of $25 or more at Walgreens on Sunday (11/22) and Monday (11/23) only.

Head over to The Coupon High to see the deals at Walgreens this week as well as her scenario to get three packs of Pepsi, two bottles of Triaminic, one Almay Foundation and two boxes of cereal for around $3.99 when you use the $5 off $25+ coupon. You will pay $21.99 out of pocket, but will receive $18 in Register Rewards.

I stopped by two Walgreens late Sunday to try to take advantage of some of the Register Reward (RR) deals in this week’s ad. I had a $5.00 RR from the One-A-Day promotion a few weeks ago.

TRANSACTION #1

Vaseline Sheer Infusion Lotion – $1.50 Money Maker (MM)
Oral B 123 Advantage toothbrush - $0.75 MM (some regions will be $1.00 MM)
Fusion Razor (not shown) - Supposed to be $1.01 MM, but I bought the wrong one. The Gamer was in the MVP display and I didn’t pay attention. I will return it. Make sure you get the MVP one!
Ghiradelli 3 oz chocolate bar (not shown) – $0.65 (marked $1.19, but rang up $0.65) – used as a filler

I used:

- $5.00 RR
- $4.00/1 – Fusion Razor (9/27 PG)
- $0.75/1 – Oral-B (9/27 PG)
- $1.50/1 – Vaseline Lotion (printable)
- $11.24 cash

I received

$7.00 RR for the Vaseline
$3.00 RR for the Oral B
I was supposed to get $6 RR for the razor had I gotten the right one. The Gamer is $10.99, so I will have spent $0.25 once I get my refund.

TRANSACTION #2

Robitussin DM To Go 2 pack – FREE
Dentek 32 pack floss picks – $1.00 MM
Chapstick Fresh Effects – FREE
Halls Refresh – FREE

I was also going to get the Emergen-C 2.5 oz pack, but the cashier told me I couldn’t use two Register Rewards in one transaction. I had two more products than I had coupons, so I tried to explain it was okay, but he insisted that any other cashier that allowed it was wrong. I sent an email to corporate and got a cryptic reply back. I am still working on that with them. I put the Emergen-C back.

I used:

- $7.00 RR from lotion purchase
- $1.00/1 Dentek floss picks printable
- $0.48 cash

I received:

$2.50 RR for Robitussin
$2.00 RR for Dentek
$3.00 RR for Chapstick
$1.00 RR for Halls

Be sure to check IHeartWags for the October monthly Register Rewards and this week’s Register Rewards, and print this $5 off $25 coupon to use on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The coupon is $5 off your transaction of $25 or more AFTER all coupons have been used. Check out some possible scenarios at Hot Coupon World.

Keep in mind that not all stores will have all items in stock. One of my stores had only a few items (hence the small first transaction), but the second store had a full end cap display at the front of the store with all the products together. I love when I see that!

There are many great Register Reward deals at Walgreens this week. I will be posting information about them tonight, but you can get the list here too.

To make these deals even sweeter, use the $5.00 off $25.00 coupon from Walgreens that will be valid on Tuesday, September 29 and Wednesday, September 30.

I couldn’t find many of the Register Reward items when I stopped into Walgreens yesterday, so hopefully the stores will have more inventory tomorrow. One store had two items and the other had a display up front with several, but not all of the items. Look for that end cap display if you can’t find products on the shelves.

Spotted this announcement in a Facebook ad today: If you become a fan of Walgreens on Facebook by October 2, you will get information on how to get a free 5×7 photo book mailed to you. You will have to pay $1.99 for shipping & handling though, so it’s not entirely free, but pretty close. It could make a nice stocking stuffer.

In case you missed it, on Saturday, August 15, Kroger will double coupons with values from $0.40 to $1.00 for one like item per transaction!

I will publish two posts for Kroger this week. This post covers the items in this week’s ad. The second will cover other deals you can get in the store on August 15. I walked through my Dallas-area Kroger store tonight and noted several items that may be good deals, but I need to put together the match-ups. Once those are ready, I’ll create the second post and link it from here.

If you want to get a head start, check out the great list at Hot Coupon World (HCW). Most of my additional match-ups will be for items I use regularly as well as items that caught my eye. Several people have contributed to the HCW so it will be more comprehensive.

Please note: Two readers mentioned some things to keep in mind:
1. Tasha commented that the printables often read “do not double or triple” (DND/DNT). I am only listing coupons that do not mention DND/DNT on them.
2. Michelle mentioned her Kroger will not accept Internet printables. I’ve read various comments about what will and won’t be accepted, so be sure to ask your store before you start shopping to avoid wasting your time. If the person you speak with sounds unsure, ask for a manager.
