Saving Half - Better Than Full Price

 Saving Half - Better Than Full Price

Today is the last day of this sale, But you still have time to take advantage of the savings.

Since Walgreens stopped the register reward program ( they offer them on occasion) and put in the points system I do not shop there much, unless its something dirt cheap or free with coupons.

Since I was on my last bottle of " free" ( no smell- no dye) washing liquid and the sale is on for All AND I had a $1.00 off one manufacturer coupon I took advantage of the extra savings. Plus  I had a rain check for Lindsay olives for .99 each and I wanted to get the allowed amount of four.

And I grabbed Angel Soft Toilet paper, who ever has enough? Its on sale and there is a store coupon AND a  manufacturer coupon I can stack.

Here is the deal and amounts and coupons to use :
