Walgreens Haul 9/15/12, Starbucks coffee

Walgreens Haul

Starbucks coffee

As you have probably noticed, I prefer to do small hauls. It is much easier for me to keep track of coupons and sales when I make small shopping trips. It is easier for me to keep an eye on the cashier, making certain that all of my coupons are scanned. Anyhow, I am a chronic coffee addict, and if I don’t get my daily caffeine fix, things go awry. So when I saw the sale on Starbucks coffee in the Walgreens sales circular, I jumped on it.*

Walgreens advertised Starbucks ground coffee, 12 oz. on sale for $8. This is a good deal because this coffee costs usually in the range of $10- $11. In addition, if customers spent $13 or more of participating products, then the customers would receive $3 in Walgreens Register Rewards. It is basically a Catalina coupon that prints after the transaction. Certain limitations and exclusion apply, but most of the time, a Walgreens Register Reward is valid for use on a future transaction.

Aside from the fact that the cashier was a little grumpy, this is how the transaction broke down. Sweet and simple.

1- 12 oz. bag of Starbucks ground coffee, Medium House Blend $8.00

1- 12 oz. bag of Starbucks ground coffee, Dark French Roast      $8.00
Subtotal (before coupons)                                                                  $16.00
1- manufacturer coupon for Starbucks coffee                                 -$1.50

1- manufacturer coupon for Starbucks coffee                                 -$1.50
Final total (after coupons were applied)                                         $13.00
The result is that I paid $6.50 out of pocket for each bag of Starbucks coffee. Plus, I got back $3.00 in Walgreens Register Rewards, since I bought $16 worth of Starbucks coffee. Yay!!!
* This sale ran from Sept. 9, 2012 thru Sept. 15, 2012. Therefore, the sale is no longer in effect.
