Score!

I have been checking my favorite haunts online for great deals in my local Walgreen's store. One deal this week is on Walgreen's brand maxi pads...yeah, yeah, I know I should get out more but this was a great deal!

First, they were buy one get one free. Not a great price at 4.99 for the cheapest package (the size I use) but when you combine it with the fact they listed a rebate on them in the Easy Saver book...you get them free!

If you buy 2, you get a $5 rebate and if you buy 3, you get a $10 rebate. You can get one of each. So I "bought" 4 the first trip...they ring all four up and then take off two...there's my $10 rebate. On the second trip I "bought" 2...they ring up both and then it takes one off...there's my $5 rebate.

Now, I'm pretty new to this stuff so I'm not 100% sure it will work but I spent $15 for 6 packages and I will definitely get the $10 rebate so I really spent $5 for all 6 of them and if I get the $5 rebate then I got them all free!

Of course, I paid for it with my gift card that had money refunded to me for past rebates. I also purchased many of the other "free after rebate" items that they have available for June and used coupons in junction with sales to get very low cost laundry detergent.

I know some of you hate dealing with rebates but you should really check out Walgreen's. They have made claiming rebates so easy...everything is done online so you do not even have to use a stamp to send it to them!

Have a great day!

Another good way to save money on pads I have found is to use cloth ones. A lot of cloth diaper stores online carry pads. The cheapest is Imse Vimse at only about $3 per pad. Mine have paid for themselves several times over and are still in great condition. And they're easy to use you just toss them in the washing machine with your undies and they come out clean every time. And better yet you don't have to worry about running out ever again!
