A trip to Walgreens

September 26th, 2007 at 08:49 pm

I made a quick trip to Walgreens near my office during lunch time.

I bought:
Zicam (Cold medicine) $6 - $4 (rebate) - $0.5 (coupon)
Tylenol Cold (Daytime) $5 - $1 cpn.
Tylenol Cold (Nighttime) $5 - $1 cpn.
Tylenol Extra Strength 100 tablets + 25% bonus : ) ($7.5 - $1 cpn) x 2
Pantene hair spray $4.99 - $4.99 rebate = Free
Rimmel make up $8.99 - $8.99 rebate = Free
Aquafresh toothbrush $3.99 - $3.99 rebate = Free
Tax $3.80
Since I bought $25 worth of participating products (Tylenol), I got $10 catalina, and I will get the rebate that is 10% more since I will request it to be reimbursed to my gift card.

So, after coupons & rebates, my final price is $14.50 including sales tax.

    I'm impressed! I don't make enough use of coupons and rebates and need to learn more about them. Thanks for your blog. I've been perusing it and learning!

    What is/are catalina? I only know that as a woman's given name and a place name, as in Catalina Island.

    Joan,
    "Catalina" is the piece of paper printed out at the cashier along with a receipt. (Not the receipt, but the catalina machine is normally located by the cash register.)

    Have you ever received a piece of paper with your receipt when you grocery shop? It often has a teaser like "But 5 Coke, and get $5 off for your next shopping trip" or simply an advertisement. Those are catalinas.

    Oh, yeah, the best kind are the ones from my grocery store that just say "$3 off your next grocery purchase." No contingencies or stipulations at all. That is nearly like handing me cash. I see from Google that "Catalina" is the name of one of the companies which originated check-out issued coupons.

    I saw the ad for those rebates, but I heard that the rebates may not be sent to you so I didn't want to risk it since their shampoo and toothpaste is so expensive! You have more experience so I guess you might not be as worried. I got orange juice too, even though it's 2/6, it's usually 2/5 but who can find that kind of deal for oj nowadays.

    Don't worry about the rebates. I get these every month.
