Walgreens February Freebies

Every month, Walgreens has a book in the front of their store with items you can purchase and get a rebate. For the month of February, there are a LOT of free-after-rebate items. Plus, after coupons and getting a 10% bonus by choosing to put your rebate on your gift card (for more details, click here), you can really make a lot of money next month. There is a limit of one on all of these products. Here are the free-after-rebate items, along with some coupons you can use.
  • Revlon Age Defying Spa Concealer or Foundation @ $9.99
  • Revlon Creme Lip Gloss @ $9.99
  • Garnier Fructis Wonder Waves Shampoo, Conditioner, or Stylers 6.8-13oz @ up to $4.29
    Use $1/1 coupon from 1/4 RP
  • Zucol ColdCare @ $7.99
    Use $2/1 printable coupon
  • ThermaCare Trial Size Neck, Shoulder & Wrist heat Wrap @ $2.49
  • Walgreens Multi-purpose No Rub Solution 4 oz. @ $1.99
So, for example, if I bought the Garnier Fructis for $3.99, and handed the cashier the $1 coupon, I'd pay the cashier $3.23 after 6% sales tax. Then, I'd go to walgreens.com and submit the receipt for a rebate -- make sure you ask for the rebate in the form of a gift card for the 10% bonus. In 2-3 weeks (or 4-6 weeks for your first time), my gift card would have $4.39 on it ($3.99 + 10% bonus). So Walgreens paid me to take the Garnier off their shelves!

If you get good at this, you will never have to pay another penny at Walgreens again! Special note: Walgreens will have a $5 off coupon from time-to-time. This is a great way to rack up money on your gift card. It's up to you whether you want to risk waiting for one or not. I waited this month, and it never came, so I'll have to see if the free-after-rebate items are still in stock.
