Vote now for the cheapest thing in Walgreens!

[bbgirl]

at first I would run to the clearence rack and pick the cheapest thing off the shelf if needed or not. Now I will just buy something I always needs and pay full price for cause no q's . Stamps is a huge one, envelopes, or refill printer ink. if I am stocked on those things then I pick up candy.Doesn't really bother me cause most of the time it would just save me a trip somewhere else.

Cheap candy is probably a good deal. Also, if you have a male child the 99 cent matchbox style cars help. I use those as chore rewards.

Yesterday I found Jiffy Pancake Mix for .22 (great for shelter donations as it is made w/water only. Saw marshmallows for .33 I think.

Needed one just yesterday-the cashiers helped me find them, LOL!
They had some tiny bottles of mouthwash and trial-size Axe shampoo-both were pricing at 17 cents each.

I normally would use the 33 cent caramels

I usually pick up something like Royal Gelatin - this week it's on sale 4/$1 (w/ in ad Q). I get four of them, then I can use those extra Qs I need without worrying about it since I have four fillers.

First, it depends if we need milk in the house. If not, my fillers are normally pencils or something that I will use from the clearance rack.

ME...LOL...i think it depends on the date, dated, time and how Wags feels..YMMV at Wags

I don't know how the rest of you feel but sometimes I just don't feel right when I leave my Walgreens. You spend $4.99 for something and you get a register reward slip for $4.99. In order to use it you have to have something that totals over $4.99. Is it one item that is over $4.99 or the total amount of items have to be at least $4.99? The girl that works at my Walgreens is so huffy when you ask her questions. Does the total still have to be over $4.99 even after you give them any more coupons you may have? It just doesn't feel like I am on the winning side. Does anybody else feel this way?

At most Walgreens stores your total coupon/register reward count cannot exceed your total item count (although I have seen one or two people here who say they can make it work at their store). Also, your total coupon/register reward amount cannot exceed your subtotal before tax. Some people also have problems when any individual coupon exceeds the sale price of the item, but some stores will adjust either the coupon amount or the sale price (YMMV). In the case of RRs, if you are ONLY using a $4.99 RR, your total (before tax) needs to be $4.99, and it could be one or multiple items. HTH

Also, I think the reason that many of the cashiers get huffy when asked questions is because they don't know how their system works. I usually know more than they do about their system when I go there.

I normally buy filller items that I would use (milk, tuna, etc.).

Today the clearance rack pencils scanned at 10 cents each, rather than the 20 cents that they were marked. There were also many items in the office supplies section that were marked 75% off, and were 50 cents or less. They had a 6-pack of Hanna Montana pencils for 25 cents. I don't mind buying these things at this time of year, since I can donate them to the local charities that are filling backpacks with school items.
