Buying 5 packs works! Buy 5 packs (make sure they are the right ones that the coupons work for!) and buy an item that costs $5.25 or more. Use the July ES $5 off coupon, August ES $5 off coupon and the Pharmacy $2 off coupon. You will pay pennies out of pocket and get a Register Rewards Cert for $5!!!

Something is not going right at Wags today.
They are all in a huff about the coupons. The mgr would not let me use both July and Aug coupons and would not let me buy 3 at a time to the the $5 reward. They said they had a memo from corporate.

I was wondering, did anyone buy more than 3 at a time and did it take $2.50 and $2.00 off each one, still? I might be crazy, but I’m thinking of the following scenario for Friday/Saturday:
Buy 5 packs @ $5.99 each= $29.95
July ES Coupon -12.50
August ES Coupon -12.50
Pharmacy Coupon -10.00
Total -$5.05
So maybe I buy a gift card for $6?
I would spend $.95 OOP and get $5 in register rewards.

Do you think it would work? It also seems legit because the July coupon is off 2, August off 2 and the Pharmacy is off 1, so I could justify buying 5, so all the coupons match different diapers in the deal. Do you think it would work for a larger quantity. I know you would only get $5 in register rewards, but it’s okay with me, as it’s a bit of a hassle to keep coming back up with diapers and diapers. Let me know, all you experts!

I was told by my manager that my RRs did not print because I used coupons. Is this actually the policy? The manager said this had always been the policy- that RRs will only print if you buy the items at the regular or sale price without coupons.

This worked perfect for me! Thanks so much! Also, if you look in your easy saver booklet on page 60 in the blue oval it says you get the coupons just for asking. My friend got told she had to sign up too and I told her to take the ES book to show them and they gave her the coupons no problem!

I had to stop at 2 different Wags today because the first one didn’t have the scrubbing bubbles I needed.. of course the 2nd one didn’t either.. but I got the $50 coupon book from both Pharmacies after telling them both over and over that they had these books. They kept trying to give me the rebate books and I said over and over.. no my friend has the book.. I just saw it, it says something about $50 of coupons on the front.. of course at the first one finally a big manager walks back and yells at all of them because there is a huge flipping box of them right behind them even though I stood there for 10 minutes with them calling everyone in the store.

Took both coupons to the front, $6 off with the first coupon $7.50 with the second.. worked like a charm!!

At the 2nd walgreens it was raining so hard and hailing and after realizing that they didn’t have the srubbing bubbles I needed I figured I’d go for round 2 of diapers.. again this Pharmacy had no clue they even had them and had to walk around looking for them..

I got 2 of each size newborn, size 1, and size 2. I have 2 friends that are preggers so I’ll give them each a set. Nice gift that with tax will only cost me 40 cents! not bad.

THANKS!!

I did this deal twice at two different stores. First store I purchased two groups of 3 packages used the coupon for $5 off2 and paid $11.73 then got $5 rr for each group.

Then went to next store and got 6 packs again. They had the coupon at the pharmacy so i used that coupon the $5/2 and used my rr and paid under $3.

So i got 12 packs of diapers (316 diapers in size 5 and 6) for about $26. I would normally pay about $75 for the same amount I diapers I normally buy.

BTW i tested them out and they have worked great so far!!! I think i even like htem better than the brand I had before!!

Thanks for the wonderful post!!

For all those who are having trouble finding the pharmacy coupon booklet, look up Page 60 in the easy saver.It clearly says that all you have to do to obtain the coupons is to ask about the prescription savings program.(not join it). I got mine by just asking about the program and showing that page at the pharmacy.You do have to surrender the coupon at the register though. Hope this helps.
Thanks for all your deals Crystal!

I did this deal but my $2.00 off pharmacy coupon only took $2.00 of one pack of diapers and I didn’t get any register rewards. I did get three packs of diapers for $9.00 so it was still a pretty good deal.

I just read in the comments section that several people reported having to pay $20 for the pharmacy coupon book. I wish you’d have updated this on your main post because I made a special trip just for this deal and wasn’t able to use it.

***************
Money Saving Mom here: I don’t know of anyone who actually *paid* for the pharmacy booklet–some people just reported being told they could only get it if they signed up for the prescription plan.

I try to update posts with pertinent information when possible, however, since I’d already said in the original post that this was only a *possible* deal and not everyone would likely be able find these coupons or get these coupons at their pharmacy, I didn’t feel the need to update the post.

I highly encourage people to read the comments before doing a deal because the commentors often shed more light, ideas, and information on deals that I may have overlooked. I can’t always keep up myself!

Loving this deal! It has worked for me three times now…and these diapers are great to give to daycare, since they change them at least every 2 hours anyway!

What is the exact verbage used to ask for the $50 Walgreens Savings Book? I asked for the “$50 Savings Book” tonight, and the cashier in the front and also the people at the pharmacy didn’t seem to know what I was talking about. They thought I was asking about the EasySaver, and I told them I have that booklet, but that there is another one. Still they didn’t know. Is this $50 Walgreens Savings Book not at every Walgreens’?
Thanks for all the ideas for excellent deals!

i did the same thing and bought only two because the cashier split my transac`tions up so that 2 pharmacy coupons would scan with the 5/2 coupons. I still made out pretty well for diapers even without the RR- it saved a bunch! I just walked back to the pharmacy and asked for the flier for the prescription plan- she gave me two..the cashier kept both my coupons though.

Thanks for the heads-up on this one. I was watching for a diaper deal to help out the young mom I have “adopted” and am helping with all my freebies. I know that diapers are a big expense.

I got a coupon book – after being told that it was for people who signed up and I did look over their “list” but told her I would have to take it home and compare it to my DH’s meds list. She told me to go ahead and take the flier!

I boo-booed at the first store, because I didn’t understand from the original instructions (and didn’t check the ad – dumb!) and I just bought TWO packs. I still only paid $3 so I figure that even without the RR that was a good deal. At the second store, they had to go into the back to get me the right diaper and package size. I checked out with $5.19 OOP and then got the RR back. The single mom just happened to be with me and she was amazed. I gave the RR to her along with the coupons, but then we noticed that the cashier had torn out the Pharm. Flier Q!! Bummer!! I wanted to go back inside and get it back – ha.

what/where is the 5/2 easy saver coupon? thanks ladies- I can’t wait to try this deal!

I easily got the pharmacy coupon booklet..she just handed it to me, didn’t have to listen to anything at all. But it wouldn’t work at the register because it says for 21-40 count diapers…so if you are buying larger sizes, they probably fall into that quantity range. I was buying size 1 & 2 and they DO run small. IRONY, my friend bought the same thing I did but the pharm coupon worked at her walgreens. Go figure.. Still a great deal though!! Now that I have tried them, I am going back for more this week!

My area is saturated with Walgreens, so I went to three different stores before I found one that had the pharmacy coupons. But once I did – wow! I now have enough diapers for the next five months, approximately I’m not brand loyal and I figure that if I end up really hating them I only need to use about three packages before breaking even on what I normally spend on Costco diapers that last me only a month!

Thank-you to whoever got the word out about the diaper deal at Walgreens. Worked wonderfully for me!

basically paid $2.23 for 12 packs of Walgreens brand diapers! Hopefully Carter can wear them but if not I will donate them! Here is how it works: The diapers are on sale for $5.99 all month when you use the coupon in the monthy saver book. When you use the coupon, $2.50 comes off each package. Also, if you buy at least 3 packs of diapers, you get a $5 in store credit to use on other purchases. In order to get multiple $5.00 coupons, you have to do separate transaction (like I bought 12 packs of diapers so I did 4 transactions. You can pay with your $5 coupon that you get but it won’t print an additional one because the register is set up to not print one when you use one to pay) In addition to these coupons, if you ask the pharmacy about their 90 day prescription savings plan, there is a coupon book they should give you with over $50 of savings in coupons. There is a $2 off coupon inside for Walgreens diapers and will take $2 off each package when you use it.

3 x $5.99 = 17.97
- $7.50 monthly coupon
-$6.00 pharmacy coupon booklet
with tax = $5.58 out of pocket but you get a recepit for a $5 in store credit so really it is $0.58!!! woohooooo!!!
My recepit said I saved $19.50 per transaction so that is a $78.00 savings!!!!
