Walgreens- A Great Place for Freebies

For a few years now I have been taking advantage of monthly freebies at Walgreens. Just in the last month I have gotten Almay mascara and other makeup totally free; in fact, because I get the rebate on a Walgreens gift card I get an additional 10% back. So since our sales tax is 7% here, I am getting free items plus earning 3% more. If you prefer not to get a gift card you may request a check. To make this offer sweeter, you can request your rebates online saving you a postage stamp. Walgreens is very quick in mailing you the checks or gift cards (within 2-3 weeks). In the past I have gotten razors, light bulbs, shampoo, conditioner, etc. absolutely free. Last Saturday I purchased my very first digital camera at Walgreens. It was on sale for $99 with a $30 rebate. The camera was listed on the Wal-Mart website for about $119.00. With rebate I have paid only $69.99 for a Poloroid i835 (8 pixel)camera. Now I have to learn to use it. My 14 year old figured it out in a few minutes.

If you want to see if your favorite items are on sale at Walgreens and also view the current rebates and freebies go to www.walgreens.com. By the way, if you need a camera the rebate is still good for the month of November. I am not sure if the camera is still on sale though.
