Walgreens Deal Of The Day

Walgreens participates in a a little-known program that is coordinated by Catalina Marketing.  Catalina sponsors the little paper coupons which spew out of the register at most grocery stores.  Every once in awhile I might get a handy coupon, but honestly, usually they were for items not needed.

Recently I learned that buying certain items at Walgreens will generate a flat-dollar-amount coupon that is redeemable at Walgreens (and allegedly accepted at grocery stores as well).

I dabbled with a couple offers and most worked great.  Those have now expired, but this one is still going strong:

Buy two bags of specially-priced Nabisco cookies and one gallon of milk and receive $3.00.

The cookies are priced at 2/$5.00. But here is the kicker. The catalina coupon generates WITHOUT buying the pricey milk !

So, you can spend $5.00 for Oreos and receive $3.00 to spend later on WHATEVER you want.  You could just as easily use the coupon 3 minutes later.  That makes your Nabisco Cookie price just $1.

The cookies are on sale until Saturday 09-27-2008. The catalina deal lasts until October 5.

That's a deal !!!
