Today only: Take $5 off a $20 purchase at Walgreens

Update 8/4/08: I misread the rebate book. The limit on the trash bag rebate is one. Ah well, I still got 4 boxes for only $5.

Walgreens has put out one of their one-day only coupons. Today only, you can get $5 off your $20 purchase with this printable coupon. Note that the coupon contains the now-standard language requiring the pre-sales tax total be $20 after coupons. (Although some Walgreens apparently don't enforce this requirement.)

There are some great deals at Walgreens this week, which coupon makes all the sweeter. In addition to the monthly free-after-rebate items, you can pick up 2 boxes of Ultra Tuf Trash Bags for $4.99 (buy one at $4.99, get the second one free). They will be free after the monthly rebate of $5 on 2, and you can get up to two rebates. (Thanks to A Full Cup for this deal.)

I've also got my eye on the buy three for the price of one bubble mailers (advertised in the weekly circular). These padded envelopes are extremely handy and great for sending out those Amazon Marketplace orders. (I haven't forgotten about the follow-up post with tips on selling on Amazon - I've just been super busy. I'm working on it, though!)

Best of all, my July monthly rebate just might be credited to my gift card in time for me to use it today (I have to call to check). That means I can buy some August monthly rebate items for free!

Are you planning to head to Walgreens today? How will you make the most of this coupon?

Thanks for the tip on the coupon. I've got a few items in mind, like the Goldfish crackersm Febreeze, Ajax, school supplies, light bulbs, kleenex, Olay body wash (IF I have coupons for it), and some candy for my daughter. It will all depend on what they actually in stock - always a big question!

Have you seen the Rite-Aid ad for next week? Thefirst page has "free after rebate" items that look rather tempting. Just what I need - a third drugstore to play the game at! Of course, one of our CVS's, Walgreen's, and RiteAid are all within one very long block of each other, so at least I don't have to travel far!

Hello! I am having trouble seeing the coupon. Will someone point out where it is for me? Thanks as I plan to go to Walgreens today!

@Mar - Yup, I'm heading to Rite Aid this week! (Sale starts today (Friday) in SoCal.)

@Windy - The coupon was for yesterday only. Weird, since it's usually for Friday, I guess they wanted to keep everyone on their toes. Sorry you missed it!
