Walgreens was one place that we shopped at this week! On one of the end caps, they had some great baby clearances including formula and Pull-ups. Since I had a baby recently, I had quite a few formula checks with me and was able to get the formula for FREE to donate to a pregnancy crisis center.
Here’s the results of that shopping trip.
- 3 Cottonelle 12-pack rolls sale for $5 = $15. Then used $$1.00 from August Walgreens coupon book – $3 = $12.00. Then used three .75/1 8/14 SS Insert – $2.25 = final is $9.75 for three packs or $3.25 each
- 1 ReNew Life Omeag Smart Super Krill Oil Supplements sale for $10. Then received a $10 register reward (Walgreens cash) = final is FREE
- 1 Huggies Slip-On diapers sale for $9.49. Then used $3.00/1 8/14 Smart Source insert = $6.49. Then received a $2 register reward (Walgreens cash) = final is $4.49
- 1 Huggies Pull-ups jumbo pack on clearance for $5.99. Then used $2.00/1 Pull-ups printable = final is $3.99
- 6 packs Trident gum sale for .79 each with in-ad coupon = $4.74. Then used two $2/3 from the 7/24 SS Insert – $4 = final is .74 for 6 or .12 each
- 4 Skinny Cow dream clusters candy sale for .89 = $3.56. Then used two BOGO coupons 7/31 Red Plum insert = final is $1.78 for 4 or .45 each
- $22.17 worth of clearance formula (5 at $2.49 and 3 at $3.24 = $22.17. Then used $27.50 worth of formula checks and $2.00 off Similac coupon from mailer = final is $7.30 OVERAGE
Summary: Our total AFTER Walgreens sale and BEFORE coupons was $70.95. We then used $45.53 in coupons and formula check which made our out of pocket total $25.42. We then receive $12 in Register Rewards = final is $13.42 for all of the above! Essentially, we got everything for the price of the toilet paper!
Keep yours eyes out for Formula clearances and be sure to have your coupons/checks ready!

What ia a formula check?

Hi Cathy,
They are the coupons that come in the mail (the new moms are usually flooded with them;)) and they look like a check and the store runs them as checks. You can visit all of the formula sites, parent sites, etc. and after signing up/registering you will get on mailing lists to receive these checks. They are usually pretty high value and average around $4 – $5 each check. Although you can’t use coupons at Sam’s Club, they will take these formula checks (as they are a check to the store from the formula company) because they run them as checks. Hope that helps, but let me know if you need more clarification.
