Today I’ll be reviewing one of my favorite local stores Walgreens. I’ll also have the prices of my fifteen items too.

Cold weather has had me shopping exclusively at Walgreens a time or two. The sale items are great and I usually save around $10.00 per shopping trip. I don’t think that I would shop at Walgreens for every item on my list, as a few items were a bit pricey. Walgreens usually has a great diaper deal going on, and occasionally a sale on milk. Last week I picked up a Gallon of 2% Milk for $2.99, best price in town.

I only had two items that fell into the not so good category. I wish that our local store was open 24 hours, our store closes at 9:00 p.m., having a sick kid in the middle of the night, it would be nice to make the little trip to Walgreens to pick up the much needed medication. They also have teeny tiny carts, that Thade loves, but it is almost impossible to fit two kids into one cart.

Now for the positives. Walgreens is very coupon friendly, and the cashiers always make sure to take the time to run every coupon, which I greatly appreciate. Walgreens also has the fantastic Easy Saver catalog, where you can mail in your receipts for Rebates, or even Walgreens Gift Cards. I take advantage of the Easy Saver catalog when I can, and those Gift Cards come in pretty handy for future Diaper purchases. I really love our local store, everyone that works there is very friendly, and very helpful too.

Here was my shopping list:

• Cat Food-Walgreens Brand 3 lbs: $4.49
• Kitty Litter-Hartz 8 lbs:$2.29
• Kleenexes-Walgreens Brand: $1.00
• Toilet Paper 4 ct-Walgreens Brand: $1.00
• Diapers- Huggies Jumbo Pack sale item: $9.00
• Baby Food 2pk-Gerber 2nd Foods: $1.39
• Baby Food Jar-Gerber 3rd Foods: $.89
• Gerber Puffs: $2.49
• Saltines-Nabisco Premium sale item: $2.00
• Coca-cola 12 pack sale item: $3.00
• Bread-Wonder Bread: $2.19
• Eggs-Sale Item: $1.50
• Milk one Gallon-Hiland 2%: $3.49
• White Flour 5 lbs- Gold Medal: $2.99
• Sugar 5 lbs-Domino: $2.79
• GRAND TOTAL OF ALL ITEMS: $40.51

The week that I priced my items Huggies Diapers, Eggs, and Coca-Cola Products were all on sale, and were by far the lowest prices in town. I’m also very impressed with their prices on Paper Goods, you can always find a great buy on Kleenexes,Paper Towels, and the Walgreens brand Diapers work very well too. I really like their $1.00 deals, on Toilet Paper, and Walgreens brand Facial tissue, I’ve even picked up the 1000 count Walgreens Cotton Swabs for a only $1.00 🙂

Overall I’m very pleased with our local store, and making an extra trip to Walgreens is definitely worth the savings.
