Walgreens Diaper Deals!!!





I caught onto this deal a little late, but luckily, my Walgreens was still fully stocked! We have been collecting diapers since we discovered we were expecting. We have quite the stockpile so far.

Here's the deal...
Store sale is BOGO-8.99 ( this alone is a great deal) , but see that brochure in the middle of my picture? You can pick this up at the Phamacy counter. In it is a coupon for $2.00 off Walgreens brand diapers. The register at check out automatically takes 2.00 off of each package. This bring the total to 4.99 for 2 PACKAGES! If you have the W Card (see below) you could save an additional .45 cents for each package. Which brings your total to $2.05 each.

I have one other discount up my sleeve, for all of you die hards. The W card also gives 10% back on Walgreens Gift cards. I will use the gift card to buy the diapers. I got a few rainchecks, which will yield $ 19.96 in diapers (8 packages) less 3.60 (.45 per pack with the W card) and 2.00(from purchasing a gift card), plus a $5/20 coupon. (throw in a pencil or something for a filler) This makes a potential price per package....1.17!!!

I didn't try to purchase these all in one transaction. Instead I bought 2 at a time ( for a total of 4 transactions) I just stop into the store when I am in the neighborhood. Also, Walgreens lets you keep the coupon, so be sure to ask the cashier for it back after your transaction. The store just throws these store coupons away anyways. And keep it around....it doesn't expire for a while. Maybe another good deal will come up.

For any of you veterans out there...do you recognize this sticker? It was on some of the packages. I was hoping to bring the price down to 6.99 before the coupon, but the cashier said no. Was she right?

Edit: I went back last night and bought 4 packages in one transaction, and the deal worked just fine. So...Stock up!!! Also, I learned more about the W card here. It was a 20.00 investment, but I have already doubled that with just the diaper deals and the pruchase of a gift card ( I went back to the store...I also have several rain checks that I will combine with a $5/$20 if one comes out.)

I am NOT a Wags "offical" but I do believe that the reason that she wouldn't bring the price down is because "Buy 2 save $2 off Everyday Retails ONLY". Its the same way written on page 53 of the Easysavor Catalog for Nov. I think if they were ringing up at 50% off each package instead of $8.99 for the first one and free for the second one it would work to do both promos. Sorry it's a bummer but at least you had the first coupon!! I can't find it anywhere and really could use it. Ten Wags and they are all out! Hope that helps you. Good job on stocking up. :)

I am so bummed! The diaper deal did not work for me. I bought 2 packs of the training pants 8.99 w/bogo. Then I tried to use the RX coupon for $2 off. It did not work. The cashier did not know what to do, so he called the manager. She said it would not work with any other offer. Which was the bogo. So I had to pay $8.99 for 2 packages. This manager is so crabby that I couldn't say I didn't want them anymore. Still not a bad deal on diapers except that we really only use them at night time and going out. And I am all about the best diaper that money can buy for nighttime. Oh well! I have lots of friends with babies or there is always the church nursery...

I am so sorry that to training pants didn't work. I have heard reports that the old packages with just "W" label didn't work automatically, but could be overridden. Though I know that 2.50 is unbeatable, is 4.50 still a decent price? We don't have kids in trainer, so I am clueless on a "good" deal on those.

I might have misunderstood your comment...are diapers the same as training pants?
