Have you stocked up?

Update: I went to three walgreens today and NONE of them had the Triaminic sale any longer (2/$10). They still had the $5 rebate when you buy 2 but they are now regular priced at $6.99 each. So now they are $14 - $4 coupon = $10 then get $5.00 back. So each box is now $2.50..which is STILL a good deal. It must have been a fluke that that one walgreens had the deal still.

Cold season is here and once again it's time to stock up on meds.

If you have kids, this is one post you MUST read.

Last week, I heard about the Triaminic deal happening at Walgreens and stocked up. This week as I was shopping I saw a sign next to the Triaminic that said it was an ongoing deal until the 26th!

I know this is last minute as the deal expires in 2 days but it's an AWESOME deal.

Triaminic is on sale right now 2/$10 (two for $10). And if you purchase 2, then you get a $5 RR (register reward) back. So really that makes the deal 2/$5 after RR. Now that in and of itself is a pretty good deal.

BUT WAIT..it gets better (of course!)

Somewhere at your local walgreens is a book floating around called "Healthy Savings to help you Stay Healthy - All Season Long" and then it says "over $30 in Savings inside!" Go find this book!

If you open the book up there is a $2 coupon for any triaminic product...since you are buying 2 products the coupon suddenly becomes $4 - Are you catching on yet?

So here is how it works: (I'll help you snag a few more deals since you'll already be there so listen up!
1. Go to your local WAGS (walgreens) put two triaminics in your cart (I personally like the disolving strips)
2. Go to the Tampon/Pad isle and get a 16 pack Carefree panty liners (in the light pink packaging) which are on sale for $1.99 but normally $3.29 i think - Just trust me!
3. Go to the meds section again and look for the Therma-Care single pack heat wrap (just get the trail/1 pack) - Should be $2.49 on sale - Again trust me.
4. Go to the candy isle and snag 3 packs of tic tacs which are on clearance for $0.25 each! (or something that equals approximately $0.75)

5. Get in line for check out.go up to the counter.
6. When your turn arrives, ask the cashier tell her you'll be breaking your purchases into two transactions and smile.
7. Put ONLY your 2 triaminics on the counter.
8. She'll ring them up for $5.00 each - on sale. Your total will come to $10.
9. Let her ring up the Triaminic coupon from the coupon book I referred to earlier.
10. This will now bring your order to $6.00 (and maybe tax too)
11. Pay her for your transactions.
12. When she gives you your receipt, she'll also hand you a $5.00 RR - woo hoo!

13. Put the rest of your items on the counter (pantyliners, tic tacs and therma-care)
14. She'll ring these up and the price will come to $5.23 (plus tax)
15. GIVE her your $5 RR you just got!
16. Your new total will come to $0.23 (plus tax). Pay it.
17. She will then give you your receipt and 2 MORE register rewards! - She'll hand you $2.00 RR for the Pantyliners (deal ends on 26th) AND she'll hand you a $2.50 RR for the Thermacare (deal ends on 26th).

Then go home and save your RR's for next week's deals.

So here is the final break down.

You'll get: 2 triaminic cold or allergy meds, 1 pantyliner, 1 Therma-care and 3 packs of tic tacs for $6.23 out of pocket (OOP) plus tax.

And you'll walk away with $4.50 in register rewards to use during your next purchase.

So the true total for all your good is $1.73 plus tax.

Sounds good to me!

Happy Shopping!
