Walgreens: Kleenex Money Maker + Huggies $4.25 Each

by Tara Kuczykowski on November 9, 2009 · 39 comments

Kleenex Coupons
Need to stock up on Kleenex? Then head to Walgreens this week.

Kleenex Facial Tissue, $1.09 (w/ in-ad coupon)
$0.50/3 Kleenex Facial Tissue printable
$0.50/3 Kleenex Facial Tissue, exp. 11-30-09 (SS 10/4/09)
$0.50/3 Kleenex Facial Tissue, exp. 12-27-09 (SS 11/1/09)
$1/1 Kleenex Walgreens Coupon (November Healthy Savings Booklet)
Better than FREE after coupons!

Note that you'll need to add a filler item that costs at least $0.23 to absorb the overage or this deal won't work.

(Thanks, The Coupon High!)

Plus you can get Huggies Diapers for as low as $4.25 each. This scenario is based on having only one computer to print coupons from. You could do a little better if you can print four of the $2 off coupons!

Buy (4) Huggies Jumbo Pks., $8.99 = $35.96
Buy (1) Small Filler Item worth at least $0.04

Use $5/$25 Walgreens Coupon (Circular Wrap-Around or here)
Use (2) $2/1 Huggies printable
Use (2) $1.50/1 Huggies from here or here
$1/1 Huggies Walgreens Coupon (Children's Activity Book -- deducts $4)
$0.75/1 Mail-In Rebate (Caregivers Marketplace)
$4.25 ea. after coupons and MIR!

If your store carries the Pure & Natural diapers, you could buy 5 packages and use 5 of the $3/1 Huggies Pure & Natural Diapers, exp. 11-22-09 (SS 10/25/09) coupons for the same final price!

(Thanks, Moms By Heart!)

ok, but say the coupons were available, are you allowed to use more than one of the same coupon in one transaction?

My walgreens circular said that the $5/$25 is after coupons and discounts. The total for this deal with the $2 printable and $1 wags children's activity book is $23.96 so the coupon shouldn't work unless you bought 5 and then your oop would be $24.95 after the $5/$25. Is there another coupon?

Reply

5 Tara Kuczykowski November 9, 2009 at 11:49 am

Amanda, your total is $24.96 after all coupons, and that's why you need to add a small filler item to use the $5/$25 coupon.

Nicole,

You'r allowed one coupon per item and since you'r buying 4 packs in this deal you can use 4 Manufacturer coupons plus the store coupon.

If you buy 2 packs of diapers, then you could use 1 manufacturer coupon per each pack. Therefore, you could use 2 coupons. You are not allowed to say use 2 coupons per 1 item. In the above scenario - they are buying 4 packs of diapers and then can use 4 manufacturer coupons. You can use more than one of the same coupons as long as your coupon # = your item #.

You can use one coupon per item purchased... for instance lets say doing the huggies deal you bought 4 packages and had to make it easy access to two computers with the $2 coupon... you can you 4 $2/1 coupons because you have for packages of Huggies.

Has anyone seen the pure and naturals at Walgreens? I'm trying to start my stockpile and would much prefer the naturals!

can someone explain the Kleenex thing to me, I'm just not getting it?

thank you!

Rayy, you buy 3 boxes of Kleenex and use both the $0.50/3 coupon and the $1/1 Walgreens coupon. Because it will deduct more than the price of the Kleenex, you also need to purchase an additional inexpensive item so the overage has something to apply to.

In reference to the Kleenex deal - do they count it as getting 4 items (3 kleenex + 1 filler) with 4 coupons, or is it only 2? Do they count the wags q as 1 or 1 per item? Also - I have a B3G1 free on kleenex - could that also be used with this? Thanks so much, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this site. Keep up the awesome work, you help me help my family so much.

13 Bob Thompson November 9, 2009 at 12:41 pm

wouldn't you need 2 filler items because you will be using 5 coupons and you need one item per coupon as per WAGS rules: 1 in ad q, 1 $.50 q & 3 $1/1 q's?? has anyone completed this deal ?

Where can I get the November Healthy Savings Book for the $1/1 on the Kleenex? My store doesn't know of a November Healthy Savings book! Help!

15 wehave5sons November 9, 2009 at 12:54 pm

so for kleenex deal you are saying use in ad coupon AND $1/1 walgreens coupon from Nov savings book? how do you do that? Is the in ad coupon more of an adv price and not really a coupon? sorry, this one is confusing me for some reason...

Reply

16 Mary November 9, 2009 at 12:55 pm

*Please forgive my ignorance. I am new to this.
To make sure I have it correctly:

Use the in ad coupon for $1.09ea(buy three).
AND
Use one of the $.50/3 Man. coupons.
AND
Use three of the $1/1 Walgreen's savings booklet coupons.(These are really manufacturer couopons?)
AND
Buy one filler item(since there are 3 products and 4 Man. coupons)?

Can I just buy 1 box of kleenex with the $1 off coupon and pay 9 cents?

18 Meg November 9, 2009 at 1:32 pm

Can anyone find the $1 Kleenex coupon?? Is there another Novemeber coupon book besides the one with the Christmas ball on the front with the words "over $200 in savings inside"??

My Wagreens will not let you use an in ad coupon with the healthy savings coupon. I tried this a while back with a bandaid deal. The ad coupon counts as a Walgreen coupon so another Walgreen coupon cannot be used. You could only use the MQ. This is probably a YMMV type deal. Hope some of you can get it to work.

I can't find the Kleenex Walgreens coupon either - I looked in the Healthy Savings Booklet and the November Coupon book - is the "November Healthy Savings booklet" different? Thanks!

I can't find that booklet either. Can you give us a snapshot so we know what to look for? Thanks! :)

The November Healthy Savings booklet is described in this post: http://www.commonsensewithmoney.com/2009/11/weird-walgreens-november-coupon-booklets/

Basically, there are two November booklets going around. My store had both. I thought the only difference was that the $160 one was missing some of the coupons that the $200 one has, but this $1 Kleenex Wags Q is ONLY in the $160 booklet. Look for it with the store circulars. I'm so glad I grabbed some of each!

Kleenex coupon not in my healthy savings book either. Bummer!

Mary, you would not need 3 Walgreens coupons for the $1 off. Walgreens coupons take off the amount per item in your purchase - so you only need one in this case to take off $3.

The manufacturer coupon for .50/3 actually counts as 3 coupons, since it is off of 3 items. Any MQ for an amount off of a certain number of items, counts as that many coupons. The only exception I've found is a buy one get one free coupon. I have found that it only counts for the free item, so you could still use a MQ for the one you pay full price for.

You can use a MQ along with a Walgreens coupon on the same item. So in this case, even though the .50/3 counts for all 3 items, you can still use the $1 Walgreens coupon for those same items to get the additional $3 off.

As for using the ad coupon along with the Walgreens coupons - I'm not sure what official store policy is. I know I have used both on the same items in one transaction (the band-aid deal being one of them) without a problem and without the computer beeping. I frequent many different Walgreens depending on where I am when shopping and have never had this problem.

However, I too, can't find this $1 Walgreens coupon in any of the current savings books I have (walgreens.com in-store coupons, healthy savings, diabetes, and nov. savings). So I would love to know if anyone has found this coupon! Hope this helps to clear things up for some of you!

I just saw what the coupon book looks like. It is not one I have seen yet. It's got a woman with two kids and they are mixing something in a bowl. I will have to look for this one next time I am at Walgreens. It is just called "Walgreens Healthy Savings" and it's green.

I looked for the Healthy Savings booklet and the Diabetes and You booklet, my Wags didn't have either one. I checked at the pharmacy and also near the front of the store, where they keep the regular ad and the Nov coupon book.
Bummer.

On the Kleenex deal- why on earth would it be okay to use 2 different store coupons (besides a mfr coupon) on the same item? What store allows this??? Coupon policy and ethics aside, this is not the way couponing works.

As for the Huggies scenario, you can't use (4) $2 off Huggies Qs to make it "a better deal", unless there's something else you need from Wag's b/c you'd just have to add more to your total so you could use the $5/$25 coupon. It says right on there that total must be $25 after all Wag's and mfr q's and discounts.

For those of you stressing about the number of coupons vs items, that only matters if you are "paying" w/ register rewards, NOT if you are paying w/ cash. And you can't "pay" w/ RR in the Huggies scenario anyway b/c they're considered a coupon, not a method of payment.

Could some one post a picture of the November Healthy Saving Book?.. I went to my local Walgreens and they didn't know what I was talking about...There is a Nov saving book and is also green but it doesn't have the Kleenex coupon on it.

Please if anyone has a picture of how this book looks like, Please post!
Thanks!

You can do this for better deal:
Buy 3x8.99 = 26.97
Use 5off25
Use 3x$2/1 printable
Use $1/1 Children Activity Book
Pay 12.97 + tax
Mail in rebate .75x3 = 2.25
Total = 10.72 + tax = 3.57 each plus tax :)

Note: you have to give the 5off25 first or else it won't work :)

I just bought multiples of each of the L'Oreal Bare Naturale eye liner and eye shadow on clearance for $$2.59 each and used the $3 off WAGS coupon from the Healthy Savings booklet AND the $2 MQ from one of the newspaper inserts. I was looking to do the BOGO1/2 off deal, but this was WAY better!

I also did the BOGO 1/2 off with the Revlon Eye Shadow quads. They were $6.49 each - $3.25 BOGO - 2X$3/1 WQ from the Healthy Savings Booklet - 2X$1/1 Revlon MQ = $1.75 for 2!

Lubriderm money maker worked as well and so did the $5/$25 with no problems. The two problems I had this week were that they would not take the $1/2 Glade products Wags Q from their november coupon book on 2 Glade .99 sprays...... and I FORGOT to give my benadryl coupon from the children's activity book when I got the $10 RR deal..... overall, the best week ever at Walgreens IMO!

My walgreens didnt have the healthy savings booklet out, but I asked and the manager brought out a big stack from the back--I did the kleenex deal with no problems, I am gonna do it a few more times this week! I am a teacher and can really use free Kleenex!

33 cara November 11, 2009 at 4:44 pm

I couldn't find the children's activity book mentioned, I asked at the counter but they had idea what I was talking about. They did say it was perfectly fine to use the $5 off $25 first and then scan my mfr coupons, so I would get the best deal on the Huggies!

34 Bianca November 12, 2009 at 7:40 pm

I had NO LUCK with the children's activity book either!!! No one had any idea what i was talking about...

If anyone in DFW area is having a hard time finding the Kleenex coupons they are at the 24 hour store on Belt Line and Finley in S. Irving. They are just mixed in with the $200 saving booklets at the front. Good Luck!! I just scored a ton of kleenexes. (forgot to give my manuf. coupons first... aug live and learn)

I found my activity book at several different Walgreens over a month ago. One location still has some in stock and the other store clearanced theirs for a quarter. Good luck!

37 Anna in Cali November 13, 2009 at 10:31 pm

They didn't let me use the coupon in the Nov. Healthy Saving book because the Klennex boxes were 80 count and the coupon states 85 count, Ugh!

Reply

38 kje November 13, 2009 at 10:33 pm

The in ad coupon is for 80 or 85, my store had both :) Hope that helps.

39 Jacky November 14, 2009 at 12:27 am

to make Kleenex deal work, u gotta get the ultra soft ones, which state 85 count. Also there's a new coupon from K-mart. 75cents off one package. Which make it sweeter deal! :) some store will take it even it say K-mart on there, if u not sure, just clip out the kmart part lol :)
