Walgreens deals this week (Sept. 7-13)

I'm hoping to stop by Walgreens on the way home from work tomorrow, and I'm also hoping that everything I want will be in stock. I'll probably have to get extremely lucky, though, because there are quite a few deals I have my eye on.

For instance, there's a really good deal on the Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner. Although I was initially skeptical, I've read some good reviews of this and now I want to try it - anything that saves me time and keeps my house clean is wonderful. Plus, in his review, Lazy Man offered a cheap DIY refill for the otherwise expensive solution that the cleaner uses. The cleaner is on sale for $19.99, it comes with a $10 Register Rewards, and there's a $5 off coupon from an old newspaper. If you've used this cleaner, I'd love to know what your experience has been and what your opinion of this product is - I'm not going to be wasting my money, am I?

Chex Mix is on sale for 99 cents. I can't get it to work, but there is a printable coupon for $1 off. I do have a number of 50-cents off coupons from various newspapers, so I'll be using those. I take treats for the boys' teachers once a week, and inexpensive Chex Mix is great for that. I can also stock them for Tyler's birthday party in just a few months.

Granola bars are on sale for $2 per box, which is about the best sale price that I can find these days. I have coupons from the paper that will make these $1.50 per box or less, so I'll stock up on these as well since they make great portable snacks.

Crest Pro-Health Mouthwash is free after Register Rewards, and a money-maker with the coupon that was in the P&G insert from the August 31 newspaper.

Supposedly, there are Magic Bullet blenders on clearance for approximately $15. I'm not expecting to find one of these, but I'll definitely look and pick one up if I do.

Tina reports that vinyl or latex gloves are on sale for $4.99 (they are regularly priced at $9.99). The $3.00 off coupon in the Easy Saver book makes them a mere $1.99 each. (Thanks, Tina!)

I've learned my lesson about not waiting for a one-day or two-day only coupon on hot items. So if I see a store brand water pitcher filter, I'll buy it. It'll be free after rebate anyway.

Last but most definitely not least, there's a great money-making deal on Robitussin. You can find the details at Common Sense with Money.

One word about coupons and Register Rewards: visit the store where the employees are the friendliest if you plan on using these when making your purchase. Using a Register Reward on the same deal will prevent you from getting a second RR on that deal. But generally, you can use RRs from a different deal, as well as coupons, and still receive an RR. However, I've read many stories on the coupon forums about RRs not printing, and managers and cashiers saying it's because a coupon and/or RR was used. It's unclear whether Walgreens has changed their policy; it actually seems like each store has discretion to prevent the RR from printing when a coupon or RR is used. So just be prepared for this scenario and go in with a plan, whether you plan to argue (in the nicest way possible, of course), make the purchase anyway, or ask that the transaction be voided and your coupons/RR be returned.
