There are some nice free after coupons and ECBs this week! The Accu-Check monitor is great for donating, and it’s an easy way to roll over some ECBs that may be getting ready to expire.

Pay attention to the coupons in red. They all expire on the 31st. However, some stores (including mine) will accept expired coupons, so YMMV!

Walgreens $10/$40 Coupon, Good 8/29 and 8/30

by 20 Comments

Walgreens has a printable $10/$40 coupon available that is good Friday, 8/29 and Saturday, 8/30. 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.

Now, this might not sound so hot at first glance, but don’t forget that all the September EasySaver rebates start tomorrow, so this is a great way to turn them into moneymakers!

Granted I’m new to the Wags thing, but I came up with this scenario to earn you $21 on your purchase. Check it out and let me know if I have everything correct!
