Walgreens deals 7/25 – 7/31 — The Coupon Project

The focus of this week’s ad continues to be back to school. Expect to see this for several more weeks yet. As I’ve mentioned previously, seems like some of the best back-to-school deals come in July! Don’t have any school age children? Many of these items are perfect for your home office or would be nice to have on hand for children’s gifts or donations.

favorite filler item ideas

As a reminder, you must have at least as many items in a given transaction as the number of manufacturer coupons you’re presenting. And it’s important to note that your Register Rewards are treated as manufacturers’ coupons. So if you head to check out with one item, a coupon and a Register Reward, the register won’t accept both. How to remedy this? Simply buy a small “filler item” to balance your transaction. Again…make sure you at least have as many items as manufacturers’ coupons. Store coupons thankfully do NOT count!

Best bets for this week:
School supplies! I especially think the 9-cent folders would work well
Look for small, seasonal decorations
Look for small food items – I like the instant coffee packets – the Royal Gelatin also works
Looks for single pencils & cheap stationery items
Look for Walgreens water bottles priced at $0.49! My store had these near the diabetic section (towards the pharmacy). They were on a shelf and filled with first aid items. I also recently saw them near checkout.
