Diaper Challenge!

I finally got around to doing the price breakdown of my first Diapers purchase with coupons. It was also my first time couponing at Walgreens. I must say first up....you got to be organized and you've read up on how to shop at Walgreens before you go.. Thank you Lord for Olevene, the most patient and helpful cashier I've ever met. My first trip, with two babies in tow, I came away a bit frazzled but not thwarted from shopping there again. There's some great deals to be had like this....

@ Walgreens 3/24/10

Sale on Huggies Diapers, Size 3

$8.99 (36ct.) -$3/1 MFGC (printable)= $5.99 (17cents each)
wyb 3 packs, w/ 3 coupons = $17.97
you get   RR = $5.00
---------------------------------
$12.97 (108ct.) = 12cents each!!!!!!! ($4.32 each pack)

So my husband wants to test me and my couponing..."but how does that deal compare to just buying the diapers @ Sam's????" I am so excited to say...I WON this one, mr. big warehouse!!! Here's the price breakdown...


@ Sam's Club

Huggies Diapers, Size 3
 $37.98 (204ct.) = .19cents each

Member's Mark Diapers, Size 3

Whaaaahooo....Couponing WINS!!!

What else did I get at Walgreens that day...

Oscar Mayer Bacon, 1lb. Pkg.
(On Sale 2/$6.00) $3.00 ea. (you get $1RR)*This is where I failed, I did not do separate transactions to earn my $1RR from each pair of bacon. *You only get 1 RR print out for each transaction NOT each deal.

bought (4) = $12.00

MFGC (-75/1printable)x2
MFGC (-1.50/1printable)x2
-----------------------------------
-$4.50 MFGC
-$5.00 (my RR from diaper deal)
+.79 filler item
