How to Coupon the Lazy Way
Jamie here! I recently got back to my couponing roots (inflation will motivate you that way…) but in the easiest most non-intimidating way possible. I stick to doing about a few deals a week at Walgreens. (You could do lots of other stores, I've just gotten really comfortable with my tiny Walgreens trips!)
All you need to get the 3 deals I'm doing this week is the Walgreens App on your smartphone. NO coupons that you have to print or cut out. They are EASY. Ready?

- Pay $4.98 out of pocket, Get $4 CR
- Free after coupons and Walgreens Cash!
Buy 4 Pepsi Products, 12 pk – $3.66 each wyb 3 or more
*Note – your store may have a limit of 3 – but it's just 3 of each flavor – so mix and match!
- Use $3/4 Pepsi app coupon or $3/4 Pepsi Products printable
- $2.92 each after coupon

Makes it $1.49 – $1.99 each!
NOTE: Last night at the register my Garnier coupons wouldn't come off. I had them all clipped on the app, I bought the right quantity of the right products – but not even the manager could figure out why the coupon wasn't coming off.  Be aware that there may be a glitch with this coupon – so watch the computer screen during checkout to make sure! (I just asked them to void those off my order)
Buy (4) Garnier Fructis Whole Blends on sale 2/$7 ~ Get $5 RR
- Use $3/2 Garnier Fructis app coupon
- Use $3/2 Garnier Whole Blends app coupon
- Pay $8 out of pocket, Get $5 RR
- Makes them $.75 each after coupons and RRRemember – if you don't need these you can always donate to a women's shelter!

- Use $2/1 Walgreens App Coupon
- Makes it 99¢!
Helpful Walgreens Tip: Before heading into your store – if you click on the details of a deal on the Walgreens online ad, you can see what items are included and IF THEY ARE IN STOCK at your store. It's so frustrating to head into the store and then find out they sold out of your favorite deal!

Newbie question….can these all be done in one transaction??
Jamie says
Yes Heather! Though I want to warn you – I had troubles last night using my Garnier coupon. I was watching the computer as it took off all my coupons and for some reason the Garnier $3/2 coupons didn’t take off the $3 each they were supposed to. I asked the cashier and she couldn’t explain why it wasn’t deducting – because I bought the EXACT CORRECT products. So because it wasn’t super cheap, I asked her to void those off. I just wanted to warn you that their system might have just had a glitch – or the coupon just isn’t working correctly – so you’ll be prepared!
