April 2011

This is a compensated post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have always tended to buy name brands and stay away from store brands but a recent experience I had has completely changed my mind and I wanted to share it with you.

I was given the opportunity to try Walgreens Brand Mouth Rinse and I’ll never go back to buying that “other” brand! I am admittedly a bit of a mouthwash addict.  You can tell me all you want that mouthwash with alcohol in it is not good for you but I honestly love the way it makes my mouth feel so I use it.  I see some coupons for the name brand but not so many sales and it’s something I will spend ….gasp…..full price on. 

I loved the Walgreens mouth rinse.  It was so comparable to the name brand and at a fraction of the price.  No more hunting for coupons or sales on the name brand, the Walgreens mouth rinse consistent and in my opinion, just as good if not better than the name brand!

I also wanted to let you know about a great program Walgreens has called Walgreens Way to Well Fund™With this program the purchase of every Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Product supports bringing preventive wellness services to local communities through the Walgreens Way to Well Fund™.   Walgreens will contribute up to $3 million annually to the Walgreens Way to Well Fund™. The Walgreens Way to Well Fund™ will provide free preventive health tests as well as other health and wellness services and education to local communities. Some of those services will include preventive health tests through the National Urban League Health & Wellness Tour and vouchers redeemable in select stores.  For details, visit walgreens.com/waytowell.

 Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products are awesome products that will really help you reduce our total drugstore bill.  These are products you can trust.  Have you bought any Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness products and what are your thoughts?

Hopefully you joined Rue La La last week when I posted about that fantastic FREE $20 credit that you’d get upon signup. Well the philosophy boutique just opened and there are some items for under $20 that will be FREE after credit!

This duo is FREE after credit and $2.10 of the credit will be applied to the shipping – an awesome Mother’s Day or teacher gift! If you’re into philosophy skin care like I am this next deal is a great one!

The trial kit for skin care gives me the products I use the most perfect for travel! If you’ve never used philosophy products before snag this to give them a try – I know you’ll love them like I do! The good news is that your credit can go towards shipping so you’ll get great deals on these great philosophy products.  I am sure they will sell out quickly so act fast!

There are also a number of other boutiques that just opened up so make sure you look around! Rue La La is full of great designer items that you might not find elsewhere! Remember that you do need to pay shipping for the items but the credit can go towards shipping!

Remember that you can also invite friends and get $10 per friend that signs up…so refer friends to make your good deal even better!

How cute are these Say It Sandwich Bags?

These super cute and practical sandwich bags are brought to you from the creators of Cool Diaps and haven’t yet hit retail stores! You can score a box of these bags for just $3.99 plus FREE shipping.

About Say It Sandwich Bags™: When making their twin girls lunches for school, product creators and husband and wife team, Paige and Holland always wrote personal and uplifting messages to the girls on the Ziploc sandwich bags with a Sharpie Permanent Marker. When they were hurrying to get the girls off to school (sound familiar?) and ran out of time to write the message they would feel so guilty. So, Paige and Holland decided to create Say It Sandwich Bags™. They took a few of the “inspirational” messages they would write the girls everyday and brought them to life with fun graphics printed on the sandwich bags. They also left a white space where a personalized message by a Mom, Dad or whoever is making a kids lunch could write their own message as well.

The first three inspirational and uplifting Say It Sandwich Bag™ messages:
1. Spread Your Wings
2. U R One Of A Kind
3. U R A Rock Star

This is a great way to tell your kids you’re thinking about them when you’re not with them! Besides leaving them notes in their lunch you could wrap their toiletries in a bag so they find it during a sleepover at a friend or grandparent – the possibilities are endless!

Thanks, She Saved!
