by 10 Comments


I promised I’d be back with a money-making scenario for the Walgreens $10 off $40 coupon that’s valid 9/12 and 9/13, and here it is! I used only weekly deals and the newly added free after EasySaver rebate monthly deals to create it because I’m sure that many of you have already completed your free after EasySaver rebate deals for the month.

Walgreens $10 off $40 Coupon, Good 9/12 and 9/13

by 10 Comments


As if the deals weren’t hot enough this week, now you can use this $10/$40 Walgreens coupon to stretch your savings even more on Friday, September 12th and Saturday, September 13th! You should be able to put together some awesome scenarios between the Walgreens weekly deals and monthly deals.

Like the recent $5/$20 coupons, the terms and conditions state that your subtotal must include all other discounts and coupons to qualify. So after all of your manufacturer coupons and any other Walgreens store coupons, your subtotal must be $40 or greater to use the coupon.

I’ll be back later with a money-making scenario to use this coupon!

ETA: Scenario is up! Check it out here!!!
