01/06/09 - Walgreens - Saved $30.00 on dishwashing tablets

What a great week to stock up on dishwasher tablets. Walgreens has the 20-pack of Electrasol tablets on sale for $3.49 (regularly $5.99 a box). Then, there is a $2.50 off coupon from Sunday's newspaper. Also, Walgreens has a mail-in rebate of $1.49 for a box. So, you would potentially profit $0.50 from a box.

As you can see, the Walgreens I went to had some bonus boxes, so I got an additional 5 tablets in those. I ended up purchasing a 3 Musketeers bar because I had a $5.00 Walgreens Register Rewards coupon from a prior purchase and I wanted to make sure I could use the register rewards.

Overall, my savings was $12.50 off the original price, $12.50 from coupons, and $5.00 from using the register rewards. That's $30.00 before the mail-in rebate!

Tip: Try to time your purchases when items are on sale. Sometimes you can save big! Also, make sure to check with your Walgreens before using their Register Rewards. Some will only allow you to use one rewards coupon at a time.
