Update: More free diapers from Walgreens

I posted Friday about the amazing deal on Walgreens diapers that was going Friday and Saturday only, and shared that I end up getting 87 packs of diapers and training pants along with various other stuff for a grand total of $1.18 out of pocket, plus I earned $55 in register rewards coupons and earned another $48.01 and 3 free movie tickets through the EasySaver rebate program. Well, my brother-in-law and his wife as well as my wife decided to indulge my obsessive-compulsive nature yesterday evening, and with coupons in hand I did even more damage.

My brother-in-law and his wife are expecting any day now (I think their due date is in two weeks), so they were certainly very interested in the diaper deal. So the three of us hopped in the car and started hitting Walgreens stores for diapers. We made three stops and all three were successful for all three of us. No issues except at our second stop where the manager kept telling the other cashier on duty she could do the transaction for us but “after these no more”. They ended up with 50 packs between the two of them, and I came away with an additional 30 packs. We probably would have tried another stop, but we ran out of room to put the diapers in my Honda Accord.

We returned to my house where we unloaded my loot into the house and theirs into their car. We still had more coupons, so when my wife and I went out for the evening leaving the twins with the brother-in-law and his wife we made a quick stop by Walgreens to try the deal one last time. We were both successful in getting ten packs each, so add another 20 packs to our total. As a side note, the brother-in-law and his wife also hit another location on the way home after we returned from our night out and added another 9 packs of diapers to the total to end at 59 packs of diapers and 11 packs of wipes purchased as filler.

So in yesterday’s hits between my wife and I we spent another $0.07 out of pocket and came away with another 50 packs of diapers, along with another 50 Dove dark chocolate bars and $25 in register rewards coupons. Additionally, the Dove bars were enough to earn us another 5 free movie tickets through the deal on the EasySaver rebate this month. So new grand totals:

  • The Loot
    • 89 packs of Premium diapers and 48 packs of Premium training pants, relatively evenly divided between diaper sizes 3 to 6 and training pant sizes 2T/3T and 3T/4T.
    • 78 bars of Dove dark chocolate (my wife loves the stuff)
    • 2 Walgreens water filter cartridges (August EasySaver Rebate item)
    • 3 Vacuum storage bags (August EasySaver Rebate item)
    • 1 pack of Crayola Markers (July EasySaver Rebate item)
    • 1 pack of G2 pens (July EasySaver Rebate item)
    • 1 bottle Pert Plus (August EasySaver Rebate item)
    • 1 pack of Walgreens light bulbs (August EasySaver Rebate item)
    • 18 folders, 6 highlighters, 4 packs of mechanical pencils and 2 mini composition books (5cent items used as fillers)
    • 1 2-liter of Diet Coke
  • The rewards
    • $48.01 in EasySaver rebates (between two accounts and including the 10% bonus for requesting a gift card), plus eight movie tickets through the August Mars EasySaver rebate offer
    • $80.00 in Register rewards
  • Out of pocket expense
    • $1.25 total, paid using gift cards from previous Walgreens rebates

    I will report that we have now been using these diapers for about a day now and have been very impressed with the quality. My daughter is having no problems with the premium size 3 diapers and my son hasn’t had any leaks or issues in the regular size 4 diapers (this was our lone pack of regular since they had nothing else left at one of my stops yesterday). Needless to say I am very happy with the Walgreens diapers, especially since they paid me to take them. =)

    Sorry, no updated trophy picture of the diaper pile. The pile collapsed on us as we brought in the new packs, and we didn’t feel like restacking them. However, once we figure out where we are permanently storing all of these diapers I may post an updated picture.
