"Here is a picture of my little bit of fun. I
did not get as many as others but we will
not need diapers for some time. My daughter (Aiyana)
is now potty training so hopefully we will not
have to buy anymore. I did the first transaction
and I bought 4 packs. I was able to get the
coupon back from the cashier. The second
transaction I did 4 more but she took the $2
coupon that time. After that week they went on
clearance for $2.74 and I picked up a few more
packs. I was able to make a nice big diaper
cake for my sisters
baby shower which used 3 packs of
diapers. I also got 2 cases of wipes for $2.64 a
box. I went to another Walgreens and found a
case of Pampers wipes for $2.99 and 5 boxes of
Huggies wipes for .89 cents each. The closet is
full but I am one happy Mom with and I was able
to give a little more at the baby shower with
the deals. Thanks for all the advice."

"I have been a subscriber for several years, and
this is the first time I have really utilized a
deal over and over. I have 2 children (Sydney 5
and Calvin 7 mths) and one on the way. So when
the information came out, in clear detail on the
website, on how to do this diaper deal, I was
in. I got up early on the first day of the sale
and my husband is asking, "How long is this deal
good?" - translation "Do you have to go now?" I
said, "Yes, to get the best selection and also
to check it out to make sure it works." I
even got my husband to do a couple deals -
thanks honey! His favorite word in the
dictionary is SALE, so he did not complain at
all. Between my husband and me, we went to
approximately five different Walgreens with
mixed results. None of the Walgreens tried to
keep any of the store coupons, which was good.
The Walgreens closest to me used all the coupons
with few problems. The pharmacy coupon came up
as taking of three diapers and sometimes for one
or two. Most of the time for one-- and had mixed
luck on which manager would deduct the rest or
not. I'm not complaining because it is still a
great deal! How could you not do this deal, even
without kids or grandkids? This is perfect for
shelters who are always in need. In the end, we
collected 33 jumbo packages of diapers. Eleven
transactions of 3 diapers each for a total of
$64.17 and $55 in Register Rewards for a total
out of pocket of $9.11. Thanks Refund Cents for
allowing me to do this deal! It's been great
fun, too, teaching people at work and seeing
them get excited about the possibilities.
Update: Just finished the overlap diaper deal
and bought 30+ diapers - how fantastic! Thank
you again."

"I took major advantage of the Diaper Deal at
Walgreens. I'm 7 months pregnant with Baby #3
(luckily both of my others are potty trained).
The deal was SO addicting and it didn't seem
like anyone was taking advantage of it in my 5
stores - they were well stocked. I visited each
of our 5 Walgreens once a day during the deal I
believe. Also - on 4th of July we went to a
neighboring town for the fireworks display so we
took advantage of the TEN Walgreens in that
town. My husband and Dad took our older 2 kids
to the Science Museum and my mom and I started
making the loop of the Walgreens! We only made
it to 6 of them, and one wouldn't combine the
coupons - but we each did at least 1 order at
each of the other 5! All in all - we got a
total of 115 packages of diapers from Newborn to
size 6! My friend has a kid in size 6 - so she
is taking all of those from me. Then I'm going
through the rest and deciding how many to keep
for myself. Whatever is left is going to the
food pantry at our church. They said that they
get at least 1 call EVERY DAY asking about
diapers! They are even sending me shopping this
week for more diapers - just for them. They are
giving me money out of their donated funds to do
some 'personal shopping' for them! I just can't
believe how good of a deal this is! And I'm
addicted! So is my almost 6 year old. When we
pass a Walgreens, he says - "MOM! We need more
diapers!!" My husband just rolls his eyes - but
I think it's adorable! LOL" - Jenn, Normal,

"I live in the 3rd largest city in Illinois
and am lucky to have 11 Walgreens
within a 10 minutes drive and one of the
locations had the $50 prescription coupon
booklets sitting on a table as you came in
the door - need I say more. I made 13
trips and even had my father tag along for a
few of them and ended up with 72 packages
ranging in size newborn to pull ups. I have
one in pull-ups now and hope to have one
more little one in a few years and as a stay
at home mom - this was a true blessing!
Thank you Refundcents for always keeping me
informed of these great deals so I can
always enjoy staying at home with my
children!" Christina C., IL

"I just drove the “get-away” car for my wife who
is definitely the “Diaper Diva” on this recent
diaper deal! As you can see we’ve “known
diapers” over the years! Thankfully now we have
trained helpers in the application (and removal)
of them on the younger recipients! This pool
full of diapers is filled up (and overflowing)
with 45 packages! At our current “rate of use”
we figure we’re good for about 6 months on
diapers between the two boys – one of which we
hope will be no longer needing them soon!" -

"I had a
BLAST
on July the 4th! I had looked high and
low and had asked and asked at the 2
Walgreens stores in my town for the
famous red $50 Savings booklet. No where
to be found! But, a very generous person
(thanks Kimberly!) posted on Refundcents
that she had extra booklets and would
send one just for the asking. Wow! I
jumped on that quickly. So, on the 4th I
had my booklet in hand and went
shopping. With only a few customers in
the store, I checked out 5 times with no
problems or waiting. I picked up
some other good value items like Jello,
Pork n Beans, and Sure deodorant. I had
coupons for those also and that way I
didn't have to use just the 2 Walgreens
diaper coupons back to back. This a
picture from my first shopping trip with
my grandson, Elijah. Retail value for
this including tax would have been
$181.57.
After subtracting the sale price
difference, Walgreens and manufacturers
coupons, $26.50 in RR (Register
Rewards), a $5 Walgreens rebate, and 4
Sure deodorant rebates (to different
family members), I will make a
profit of $7.61
on
these items! I went the next day and
found 6 more packages of diapers in the
sizes we needed. Elijah was born over 6
months ago and weighed 2 lbs. 6 oz. at
birth. He’s still a little guy but is
healthy and going through lots of
diapers. Elijah's mommy was a true
Pampers diaper fan but is really
beginning to like the Walgreens diapers.
After all, who can say no to
FREE?"

"I was so excited when I read about the
diaper deal at Walgreens but didn't
think I'd be able to get in on the deal
since our Walgreens is 45 miles away and
I didn't know if I would be able to
locate the Pharmacy booklet. I realized
I could trade for some coupons though so
I did that and by Wednesday of that week
I received a few in the mail and off I
went. I decided that since I didn't have
many of the pharmacy coupons that I
would do the five packages of diapers
per order. Though that meant I ended up
paying more per package I still was
getting a great deal on diapers. I was
able to purchase 20 packages of diapers
by going to two different stores. The
next day my mom went to a Walgreens and
was able to purchase 13 packs of
training pants for me so I have over 30
packages of diapers/training pants.
Since we got in the game late in the
week there weren't many sizes to choose
from so I didn't get all the sizes I
needed but I am happy with what I got
and may try in a couple weeks to get the
other sizes that I need when they go
back on sale. This is why I love Refund
Cents - I never would have known about
this deal otherwise! In Picture: Rebecca
who is 4 1/2 and uses training pants at
night, Jacob 3 who is beginning potty
training, and Joseph 2 months."

"This is my son, Sterling (who is out of
diapers, btw) surrounded by our Walgreens
Diaper/Post Cereal haul. Thanks to the $5.99
diaper sale, we were able to stock up for
Sterling's baby brother who will be here in late
August. It took myself and my mother 2 days
with multiple trips to 10-15 different Walgreens
stores to score 83 packages of diapers and 30
boxes of Post cereal. After taking into
consideration the Register Rewards coupons, the
average price per package of diapers comes to
.59/package!!!! I am very grateful for RMC and
Walgreens!!!!" Kristen B., Tx
"I scored big on the Walgreens
diaper deal with a total of 66
packages. My youngest grandson Wyatt
is perched on top of the diapers. I
was lucky enough to buy gift cards
with my register rewards and then
use the gift cards for my oop on the
diapers. I also used some of the
diaper RR on the cereal and then
used the cereal RR on the diapers!!
What a week. Thanks to all of you
for letting me know about this deal.
I have had such fun "buying diapers"
this week. One of the checkers asked
me if I owned a daycare. I told her
that I had five grandsons. I did not
tell her that the oldest one was
eight! One young man that checked
me out asked me if I wanted to use
one of my $5 RR on the diapers and I
told him no, because I would not get
another RR if I used it. He said
that it was obvious that I knew more
about it than he did, so he would
just keep on checking!! Thanks to
you all. Keep up the good work."
Kathy Hester Hartford, AR
Yeah for Walgreens!
"Imagine how excited I was when
Tayler posted the possible Walgreens
diaper deal before it started. I
couldn't wait till Sunday morning to
try it out, then to my surprise it
worked! I discovered one of my sons
favorite cereals could make the deal
even better, as you can see in the
picture he was very pleased. All
three of my kids are in pull-ups or
diapers so to find out the pull-ups
were included just made it even
better. I hit a snag on Tuesday when
the cashier insisted that I forfeit
the pharmacy coupon (I think she
wanted it for herself) and my
pharmacy would only give one per
customer. Then Kimberly, thank you
so much, was so nice to mail me one
and I was able to get a few more
days of the deal. I am not sure how
many I was able to get total but I
do not think I will have to buy any
more diapers for my littlest one
(who is hiding in the picture) ever
again, and I still have the second
pharmacy coupon to get more pull-ups
next week. Thank you so much to all
on refund cents for making this all
possible!"

"My baby sister is
18 and a single mom to my o so very
cute niece Lexi who's 18 months! My
sister is working and getting ready
for college and money is very tight
for her. I was so excited when I
heard of the diaper deal, I was like
this would really help her out! I
was a little apprehensive and the
old saying if it's too good to be
true it usually is!! But I went
armed with my q's and over a few
days and a couple different stores I
was able to get my niece and baby
sister 40 plus pkgs of diapers!
Thank you RC so much for this
valuable information. It has saved
us lots of money! Many thanks from
baby sister and little Lexi."

"My heart was sinking knowing I was down to my
last 8 packs of training
pants in my stockpile, and the thought of paying
close to full price for
diapers/training pants had gotten me in a foul
mood. But lo and behold,
just when you need a deal the most it usually
comes along. I heard about
the rumblings of the Walgreens deal about a week
before it started. I
immediately traded for 20 of the pharmacy
coupons the Friday before and
then tried to find some here locally so I could
shop on Sunday. I hit
the jackpot when a nice pharmacist gave me a
whole stack of them on
Saturday morning so I was ready to go when the
sale hit. I started off
at 7am Sunday morning and hit a couple Walgreens
doing a few
transactions each time. It was hit or miss, some
stores would take my
pharmacy coupon and some would not. My sons and
I practically lived at
Walgreens last week trying to get as many
diapers and training pants as
we could. The three year old got a kick out of
getting his own cart full
of diapers and un-loading it at the cash
register. With gas being so
high I would only stop if Walgreens was on my
way to or from my original
destination. I tried to do 3-6 transactions each
time I went to a
Walgreens (stock on hand permitting). My sons
and I were out
Thursday-see photo- and the store manager even
helped us to our car
since we had such a large load! I plan on
emailing corporate telling
them what a nice surprise that was. All in all
we ended up with 48 packs
of diapers and 27 packs of training pants. My 1
year old is still using
training pants and diapers at night and we plan
on having another child
within the next couple years-so these were a
real blessing! This was
such an amazing deal- I’m sure this is one of
those deals we will be
talking about years from now on Chat
“…..remember back in ’08 when we
got those diapers FREE at Walgreens…..” I know
I'll never forget FREE
diapers and training pants!" - Dawn Green, IN
"This is my daughter Kaitlyn on our pile of
Walgreens diapers. We went to two stores and did
a total of eleven transactions for 33 Jumbo
packs total. Our first choice was the size 4 and
5 in the supreme red packages and then any sizes
we could get in the pink training pants. Once
those were all gone we settled for whatever was
left and got some white packages in smaller
sizes. I spent a total of $58.08 (that includes
tax) for all these diapers and got back $55 in
RR for later use. So I just paid $3.08 for 33
Jumbo packages of diapers! I counted all the
packages up and we have a total of 988 diapers
and training pants. $3.08 divided by 988 is
$.003 per diaper! That's three diapers for one
penny! Sure makes every single penny you pick up
feel like it's worth a lot more now. At a
regular price of $7.99 for each package all of
these would have cost me $263.67, plus much more
in tax." Tayler R
"Hi, my name is Dennie Sandefer and I live in
Alpharetta, GA. While I don't have any children
or grandchildren in diapers, I couldn't resist
getting in on the diaper deals at Walgreens.
First I purchased three jumbo packs of diapers
and the candy bar that is in the ESR booklet
using a $5.50 Register Reward from the week
before for about a dollar. Then I was able to
purchase two boxes of Post cereal using the
Register Reward from the diapers paying only
$0.15. From that point I was able to go back and
forth on the deals and ended up with 69 packages
of diapers and 34 boxes of cereal which I was
able to load up in the car with the assistance
of my husband. We donated it all to the North
Fulton Community Charity this past weekend. As
we were leaving I saw a list posting urgently
needed items. Cereal and diapers were on the
list so the deal at Walgreen's came at a really
good time for those in need."

"My granny really CLEANED UP at Walgreens and
got me all these diapers! She said they paid her
to bring them home! I can't wait to see what she
gets me next week!"

"In three trips I was
able to ‘purchase’ 33 packs of diapers and
pull ups. For every 3 packs the cost was
$4.84 with the coupons, yet a $5.00 register
reward printed out each time. That’s a
profit of 16 cents for each set of 3 packs!!
WOW!!!!! The deal got sweeter because
I had a $25 gift card from Walgreens for
transferring a prescription. (Thanks for the
trade Teresa Sakahar!!!!) So in short, 33
packs cost $53.24 minus my giftcard making
it $28.24 out of pocket for 33 packs! PLUS
it earned me $55 in register rewards. I’ve
already used $25 of them to get Huggies
(yes, name brand wipes) for FREE and I still
have $30 left to plan my next move. THANK
YOU for posting this great deal. I have a
friend who has a new baby just a few days
old. I dropped off 6 packs of diapers at her
house and explained the deal. She then went
out and got pull ups for her 2 year old. So
the deal goes on and on and on......... "
Karen Lenhard
"Here is my haul today with
my daughter Mackenzie who was making her own
throne. I do not have any babies, but I like to
take the $20.00 that I would normally spend on a
gift and coupon it for whoever I know that is
pregnant. This time it is all going to an
amazing sister of my husband's best friend. She
is due in October and I already have 24 packages
if diapers and 15 lotions, soap and misc. I
still have 3 months to go and have not even been
out $5.00 yet."

"Well, armed with my Pharmacy coupon and with
only Walgreens closest to me being 2 hours away,
I headed up to Minnesota to do the diaper deal.
Hitting 2 Walgreens one in Wisconsin and the
other in Minnesota my 2 hour drive paid off.
Total for each set of 3 diaper packs in
Wisconsin was $5.13 with $5.00 RR(OOP after RR
.13 cents) and in Minnesota I got a great
surprise as there was no tax on diapers so OOP
for 3 packs was $4.47 to get back $5.00 RR, so
all in all Walgreens PAID me to take the
diapers. So after 3 hours of shopping I rangled
115 packs of Diapers and Training Pants. Best
part is I have the prescription program now and
will get back 10% rebate on all those diapers,
so I will get back $48.00 if they go precoupon
price or at least $16.00 if after coupon price,
so still a great deal and they paid me to take
them all!!!
Wanna see what 115 packs of diapers looks like?
Here's my daughter Kaitlyn (18 months old)
showing off the wall of diapers we made, and all
she could say every time we kept bringing in
more diapers was....." OHH Buttsies..... more
Buttsies.......more Buttsies.....Yahh.....more
Buttsies......lots and lots of Buttsies mama"
That's an 18 month old for yah..lol
Out of pocket $92.08, register rewards left
$97.00 (turned half of those into Walgreens
GC). Also found a bunch of the coloring books
with the coupons, got 3 Motrin using the coupons
for $8.08 and got back $7.00 RR, so only paid
$1.08 for Childrens Motrin! Thanks Walgreens and
Refundcents for SHOWING ME THE WAY!!!!!

 "Here's
round 2. With Walgreens being 2 hours away, this
time my son and I decided to stay overnight and
do some massive POWER SHOPPING. Hit all the
Walgreens by us and got another 84 packages of
diapers and still left plenty on the shelves.
Also grabbed 21 bottles of Johnson and Johnson
Wash and lotion to get the $5.00 RR. Clearanced
at $3.49 using a $1.00 manufacturer coupon along
with the Easysaver coupon, total for 3 was $4.77
to get $5.00 RR back. So this trip was total
diapers 84 packs and 21 bottles of J&J
Lotions/Wash. Total stockpile of diapers from
Walgreens Diaper Deals so far
is........................... 199 packs of
diapers and pull ups.!! All nicely stacked in
sizes on my stockpile shelves."
"I couldn't be more excited about the
Walgreens diaper deal! My sister scooped me on
the fantastic deal and I just couldn't pass it
up. I took my 2 year old and 4 year old boys
along for the ride. We hit 3 different stores in
2 days and raked in 21 packs of diapers/training
pants. I got 3 rain checks and I am ready to
head out again. For the most part everyone was
great, and took both coupons. I did have two
gals study the coupons for awhile and then just
scan them. I did as my sis told me to and just
opened the book to the correct page and pointed
to the coupon for them to scan. Perfection!
Thank you Refund Cents!!!" Sarah in WA
"I really racked it up when the diaper deal came
along. I managed to grab 52 packages of near
free diapers and 10 packages of near free Pull
Ups. Although it took some time and effort for
me to track down one of those pharmacy savings
booklets, it was worth every minute! My husband
and I would like to start trying for our first
baby next year. I was so excited to see this
deal and we both couldn't believe how many
packages I got for near free! I think it is safe
to say that we have enough stock to make it
through one child and we may even have some left
over if we are lucky enough to have that
second child we want. My husband was so excited
about getting the near free diapers, that he
wanted to be the one to show them off."
Angela Heisler
"I got in on the Diaper Diva deal late
this week, but am so happy with what I
scored! I went to my local Walgreen
twice and in my two trips I got 12
packages of training pants, 9 packages
of diapers, 18 cans of Planter's Peanut,
6 boxes of Kraft Mac & Cheese, 2 Glade
air freshener sprays, 1 gallon of milk,
and 1 large can of whip cream for a
total out of pocket $41.73. I used the
remaining balance on my gift card from
last month's rebate book as well as some
of my accumulated register rewards,
however I still have $25 in register
rewards, and am due $5 rebate for the
peanuts so a grand total of $11.74 with
tax! We still need training pants at
night in our house, but the diapers are
all being donated to the local pregnancy
center. I have two rain checks to go
back and get more next week and also
will get together my plan of attack for
when the diapers are on sale again in a
few weeks. I have learned it's best to
go to my Walgreen's at night because the
young guys are working and don't mind
ringing up sales separately and aren't
the coupon police. I've been a
subscriber to Refunding Cents (still RMC
to me) for close to 10 years now and
can't count the great deals I've gotten
my hands on over the years. I
appreciate this website so much and look
forward to reading the good deals my
fellow Deal Divas (or Dudes) are
getting! Thanks for all the
inspiration!" - Melissa Bauska
"First we hit Walmart for more wipes, 43
packs at $.46 a piece after coupons = $19.78.
Then I went to Walgreens armed with the booklet
and ESR book in hand. 3 kids, and a $29 gift
card and a $10 bill. I left with 16 Walgreens
training pants, 4 Pull UP boys cool alert, 2
Dove chocolates, 3 hyper kids and $9.77 in
change. I did the deal 4 times, then used each
$5 cat and four $1.50/1 Pull UPs coupon to buy
the 4 Pull Ups that were clearanced to $6.89,
and what remained of my gc to get the Pull Ups.
Then I will send in for the Caregivers and get
$4 back. Pretty great I thought. My son Adam was
thrilled. He kept saying, You bought these
for me? Total for 20 packs of training
pants, and 43 packs of wipes: $49.55, plus I get
$4 in rebates from Caregivers marketplace."

"Four month old Ethan Wilson of Dyersburg,
TN, can't walk away from these good deals that
his mama, Amy, got at Walgreens. Thanks to the
$5.99 diaper sale, the diapers were purchased in
sets of three using the Easy Saver coupon and
the pharmacy coupon. The first three
transactions with the old packaging came to a
total of $16.92, with $15 of Register Rewards
generated. When checking out with a pre-order of
30 packages (new packaging), the cashier had to
enter the pharmacy coupon manually as a
manufacturer coupon instead of a a Walgreens
coupon, which increased the tax that was
charged. The cost of those packages was $62.20
with $50 of RR generated. Ethan now has 39
packages of diapers. Final cost was $79.12 and
$65 of RR. That's 39 packages of diapers for
$14.12! Ethan can't wait for his mama to go back
and get more of the larger sizes!" Amy

"I'm not a mom, and I'm not expecting, but
being the true RefundCents-er that I am, I
couldn't pass up a deal on FREE DIAPERS! In just
2 days, I managed to hit up four different
Walgreens stores and pick up 30 packs of diapers
and 6 packs of training pants in various sizes.
I always made sure to leave some on the shelf
for others who were looking for the deals as
well. My husband had me tally up the number of
diapers and this comes out to equal 1,034
diapers and 235 training pants. I figure I spent
about $64 out of pocket, and have received $60
in Register Rewards. Here I am proudly
displaying my diaper mountain (which is almost
as tall as me!!) with Ruffles and Smokey, who
were very curious about my good deals. I plan on
using the diapers as shower gifts and
stockpiling them for when we do have children. I
know I have a lot already but I wouldn't be
surprised if I don't find my way back to another
Walgreens or two at the end of the week to pick
up some more!" Dana Schrader, IN
"I am a newborn care
specialist. I travel nationwide helping new
mommies learn how to care for their newborn
babies. I stay with each family for 2 to 12
weeks, and I care for the babies at night so the
moms can sleep and then I work alongside the
moms in the day, teaching newborn care. I am
also an infant sleep trainer, gently working
with babies to teach them how to sleep through
the night sooner rather than later. My babies
sleep 12 hours through the night by the time
they are 12 weeks old. My current client has
triplets and her husband is in Iraq. On a
soldier’s budget, she can really use free
diapers! So I got all excited and set out to
buy as many packages of diapers as I could."

"Little Vincent is 8 weeks old
now and was quite a trooper as he and his mommy
shopped for diapers and formula at Walgreens
Diaper Deal on June 30th. At the first stop, we
inquired at the pharmacy about the prescription
drug plan and were given a coupon booklet. In
the booklet was a coupon for $2 off each package
of diapers. Then, we got the Easy Saver Book and
took the $5/2 diapers. We took 9 packages to the
register and had 3 separate transactions of 3
diapers each. With tax, each transaction came to
$5.40 and the $5 Walgreens coupon good on next
purchase came out at each transaction. So, we
left that store with $15 in Walgreens money and
9 packages of diapers. At the next location,
Mommy did the diaper deal four times and had $20
more in Walgreens money. The manager came over
and commented that he should limit mommy, but
that I was so cute, he'd let it slide today
only! Mommy then picked up four cans of
Walgreens formula on sale for $11.99 each for
the 25 oz can. Four cans came to $48, then the
coupon took $5 off each two cans, taking the
total down to $38. Mommy then applied her 7
Walgreens certificates for $5 each bringing the
total out of pocket down to $3 for formula. So,
in the end, the diapers cost .40 each
transaction, 14 cents a package due to tax. The
formula was approximately $5.50 a can. Total out
of pocket cash for 21 packages of diapers and
four of the 25 oz cans was $40. Mom and I will
be out again tomorrow after my nap!" Sheri
Alaimo, CA
"Here's my little grandson
Christopher with our diaper pile! I've had mixed
luck keeping the pharmacy coupon but have over
45 packs of diapers and put out very little
money and I have several RR's that I can use for
wipes to go along with the diapers. My daughter
is a single mom and a nursing student, she
doesn't work because she has to devote most of
her time to her studies (nursing school is
hard!) These will really help her out
tremendously. I also have a niece who lives in
Kansas who is not financially sound right now
and is pregnant. I plan on shipping a lot of
diapers to her and surprising her! I'm so
thankful that I found this site and have so much
fun with it! Thanks to Michele for doing such a
great job and to all of you who post the great
deals you find. A friend of mine came up with a
caption for this picture.... 'Thanks to
Gramma, I'll never have to do that potty
training thing!'" Pattie Meier, TX
"Our family has been using cloth
diapers for about 3 1/2 years. Last weekend we
made the switch to disposables and it couldn't
have happened at a better time! I was so excited
to hear that I could stockpile cheap diapers
from Walgreens. After two trips to two different
stores, I came away with 33 packages of diapers
and 3 packages of training pants. All total, I
paid $2.03 per package before tax. I am so
thrilled to have such a great stockpile
already!" The Brutsman Family, NY
"As suggested here on RC, I pre-ordered 15
packages of diapers to make sure I got some,
then headed out to 3 stores to have some fun. I
managed to avoid the cashiers that I knew would
keep my pharmacy coupon and came home with 9
packages. I would have done more but I was
shopping with kids in tow. Then, once my ordered
diapers were in, we headed out again. 3 of the
packages were the new green ones that the
manager said would work... they didn't, so I
only came home with 12. So, 21 packages so far
and I still have my pharmacy coupon! Thanks to
the OP who suggested buying stamps with my RR.
I'm going on a mission trip in October and
needed to send out a letter to over 100 people.
Since I had to buy stamps anyway, I now get to
donate bunches of diapers at the same time. Oh,
and BTW, I also did the Planters peanuts deal at
the beginning of one trip for added fun!"

Did I
tell ya about
the time my
Grandma got me
all these
diapers.........FREE
"Yep, it
was back in the
summer of 2008,
I was 15 months
old and going
through diapers
like, well you
know how a kid
my age can go
through
diapers! I
heard her
telling my mom
that Walgreens
had a GREAT sale
going on and we
were going to
load up..... I'm
not sure how
Grandma knows
these things are
going to happen,
but I think it
has something to
do with the
little TV
screen that has
a thing with it
she calls a
keyboard. I know
she goes
somewhere that
says Refund
Cents and she's
all happy when
she reads it.
She types on the
keyboard thing
and words come
up on the
screen. She has
different places
that she looks
and finds stuff,
then she pushes
a button and it
comes out on a
piece of paper
from another
machine. She
folds it and
puts it in her
purse along with
things she cuts
from the papers.
My dad is a
truck driver and
he goes to a
place called
Texas every
week. My Grandma
LOVES Texas, she
says they have
the best coupons
there. My dad
must like my
Grandma cause he
brings her back
30 of the Texas
papers each week
when he comes
home. Then
Grandma sits me
on the floor and
we start taking
the piles of
papers apart to
find the things
she calls
inserts. She
puts them in a
special stack
that I'm not
allowed to
touch. Then we
bag up the other
papers and she
takes them to a
place that gives
her money back
for bringing
them in.
Sometimes when
we go get the
mail she gets a
magazine that
has pictures of
people with
stories about
the piles of
food and stuff
they have at
their house. It
has the same
name as the one
on the TV she
looks at, so I
think they go
together. But,
back to the day
the diapers came
home.... My
grandma picked
me up that
morning and we
headed to
Grandma's
favorite
place...Walgreens.
I like
Walgreens, they
always tickle me
and tell me how
cute I am while
Grandma shops.
We went back to
where Grandma
gets her
medicine and she
asked the girl
for a booklet
that had MORE
coupons....(like
she doesn't have
enough). The
girl smiled at
her and gave
her several of
them in case she
needed more than
one. Grandma
told me she
really liked the
girls there
because they are
always helpful
when she needs
something. Well,
up the aisle we
went and Grandma
headed for the
diapers. She put
three packages
in the cart and
we headed for
the checkout. I
was surprised
because Grandma
usually gets
more than just
three things
when she goes to
Walgreens. She
told me this was
a "trial run",
I'm not sure
why, because we
walked. She
always goes to
Cosmetics to pay
because she says
they like the
business at
their register
and the lady
that is there is
always so nice.
Grandma put the
diapers up on
the counter and
the lady rang
them up,
Grandma showed
her a coupon out
of the Red
booklet and the
lady took a
picture of it
with a gun! Then
Grandma dug in
her purse and
brought out
ANOTHER book
full of coupons!
She showed that
one to the lady
and the lady
took a picture
of it too! They
both smiled and
Grandma gave her
a little bit of
money. Grandma
waited and the
lady
gave Grandma a
piece of paper
that said she
could get
anything in the
store she
wanted, and they
would give her
$5 off the
price! Grandma
smiled, and back
we headed for
the diapers!
This time
Grandma held
nothing back,
she loaded our
cart and away we
went. I don't
remember how
many times we
gave money and
got money back,
but we got to
keep all the
diapers too! I'm
not really sure,
but there
are a few that
are in Blue
packages that
have
T-R-A-I-N-I-N-G
on
them........must
be ones that are
training to be
diapers. Grandma
told me I would
find out about
those soon
enough. I was
getting tired,
so Grandma took
me home and told
Grandpa she was
headed out to
ANOTHER
Walgreens.
Grandpa just
shook his head.
We settled back
for some
refreshments and
a nap till
Grandma came
home. When I
woke up, she
took me out to
her SUV and
plopped me in
the back on top
of this huge
pile of diapers
and training
pants and took
my picture. She
said she was
going to send it
to the magazine
that we get and
maybe I'll be
famous! Later
when I went
home, Grandma
told my mom that
we were up to 44
bags and $65 in
Register
Rewards.....hmmm,
another new
word....I guess
I'll have to
check that out
and get back to
ya on that
one.....but I
have a feeling
it has something
to do with going
back to
Walgreens!" -

"I went at midnight on Saturday
night and did the deal 7 times! It was smooth
sailing since they were not busy, cashier was
super cool about it and I had no kids to tote
along. I couldn't resist since I am expecting in
September and have another one still in diapers!
I paid $1.33 (tax) for $125.79 worth of diapers!
I told a friend at church about it and she went
and did it herself! I was so proud of her!
$5.99 x 21 = $125.79
- $2.50 Easy Saver c/o x 21 = $52.50
- $2 pharmacy coupon = $42
= $31.29
+ .72 x 7 (tax each time)
= $36.33
AND I have $35 in catalinas to use. I plan to
use them on formula. Since midnight on Saturday
I have done the deal 5 more times." Christel
& 2 year old Joel
"We hit two stores to get the
diaper stash in the photo, 39 packs of diapers.
I was wearing our baby in a sling and had the
toddler on some of these trips but still very
exciting just some hard work! Big brother was
not to thrilled to go shop at 10 pm but he did
the first night. All sizes, pull ups any package
we came across worked, also both coupons. We
never saw the green packs. The pull ups also
rang up for $5.99! Then we went a couple more
times, later in the week and the pharmacy coupon
beeped and the cashier wouldn't enter it in as
it said limit 1. Still a great deal so we
bought more and will go again on Saturday to the
Walgreens with the nice employees when they
restock so we have even more diapers then what
is in the photo. I have made some new friends
while doing this deal, 4 cashiers at walgreens!
They are excited to have me go back saturday to
get more and if they decide to come to my coupon
group to learn how to do deals I will refer them
to this great helpful site. Its always great to
have cashiers that are happy and helpful to help
you get your deals! Dad is at the top of the
stairs." Heather, Gabe, Blaze Creek, Sahara
Snow & Savanna Rain.
"I went into
my local
Walgreen's
today. I was
armed with
my July Easy
Saver
Catalog, my
red and
white
pharmacy
coupon
booklet, 2
$5 register
rewards from
Planters,
and 2 $5
register
rewards from
Unilever. I
picked up 12
various
packages of
Walgreen's
diapers on
sale for
$5.99 each,
the
chocolate
bar for $.99
that is FAR,
the Thera-breath
starter kit
for $9.99
that is FAR
and 2 bags
of clearance
sugar free
candy for
$.99 each.
Off to the
register I
go! I broke
everything
into 4
transactions
with 3
diapers and
one other
item in
each. I had
the cashier
scan the ESC
coupon, then
the pharmacy
booklet
coupon and
used one of
the Register
Rewards with
each
transaction.
I rolled $20
in Register
Rewards,
spent a
grand total
of $10.84
OOP, and
will get
back $10.98
in rebates!
When the
dust
settles, I
still have
$20 in
Register
Rewards, I
will have
earned $.14
profit for
everything and
the local
women's
shelter will
get 388
various
diapers! Oh,
and I still
have my
diaper
coupon!"

"Last week I went to Walgreens to ask for one of
the prescription coupon brochures. I was elated
to find out the lady working knew right where
they were. I made it to Walgreens late Sunday
afternoon. I was afraid I was walking into all
the training pants being gone. I lucked out!! I
think RC has the best heads up about deals of
any site out there because NO ONE else knew
about the diaper deal. The training pants were
still there and fully stocked. I grabbed 12
packs and headed for the register. I didn't cut
out the ES rebate or pharmacy coupons. I just
handed the books open to the right page and
handed them to the cashier. I did all of my
transactions smoothly with no issues. I paid a
total of $21.60 with tax, and got back $20 in
Register Rewards. That averages to just $0.133
per pack, $0.006 per pant in the 21 pack and
$0.005 per pant for the 24 pack." Jen Bell |
