Select Almay cosmetics were on sale buy one, get one 50% when you use your Balance Rewards card. In Walgreens March coupon book, there's a coupon for $2.00/1 Almay product. I grabbed two booklets for two coupons and printed two $5.00/2 Almay cosmetics coupons.
I had to do this in two separate transactions, which my local Walgreens was happy to do. I also had to buy two Reeses ($1.50), otherwise the coupons are valued more than the product and won't go through. Walgreens won't "lessen" the value of the coupon to make it ring up appropriately. Here's what I did:
Transaction 1:
Buy two Almay Shadow Softies Eyeshadows
Regularly $5.49, on sale for BOGO50% off.
One rang up as $5.49, the other for $2.74.
Use the $5.00/2 coupon and two $2.00/1 coupons (my cashier used the $2.00/1 coupon twice so it went toward each item! I'm not sure if this is correct coupon policy, but I'll take it!)
Buy two Reeses
Regularly $0.89 each, on sale 2/$1.50
Total after coupons: $0.73 [and sweet treats for the ride home :)]
Transaction 2:
Buy two Almay Shadow Softies Eyeshadows
Regularly $5.49, on sale for BOGO50% off.
One rang up as $5.49, the other for $2.74.
Use the $5.00/2 coupon and two $2.00/1 coupons
Buy two Reeses
Regularly $0.89 each, on sale 2/$1.50
Total after coupons: $0.73 [and MORE sweet treats for the hubby :)]
Surprise, surprise. After the second transaction, out popped a special Catalina coupon with a special code. By going to AlmaySpringRenewal.com and entering the 8-digit code, I could get a FREE Almay cosmetic bag! My purple, zippered cosmetic bag will be arriving in 8-10 weeks :) You must by three or more Almay products at participating Walgreens. The offer is valid through March 29th!Walgreens site is down right now, so I can't be sure if the sale is continuing next week, but be sure to check Rite Aid and CVS for similar deals.
TOTAL: $1.43 for four eyeshadows, four Reeses easter "eggs" and a cosmetic bag. That's a 94% savings, not including the value of the bag.
SCORE!
