Saving BIG For Disney With Paperless Coupons! #WalgreensPaperless

I have a love-hate relationship with coupons. Our relationships hasn’t always been strained but over the years we have had our differences. Don’t get me wrong, when I was pregnant five years ago I spent a lot of my free time clipping, organizing, and enjoying the thrill of saving. If anyone knew how to use coupons it was me. My family referred to me as freebie queen and frugalista because I was always taking advantage of a new deal. But as the years passed I became busy with many other things- working, school, parenting, and blogging. I just don’t have all that extra time to slave away, flipping through mailers and snipping until the wee hours of the night.

While my couponing skills have somewhat faded I have started to get back into the swing of things with the help of the Walgreens app and the ability to clip paperless coupons. Yes-paperless! I feel a rekindled romance coming on strong and I have a feeling this new method is going to help us save the big bucks for Toodie’s birthday trip in February. It’s never too soon to start saving and with school starting in less than two weeks, I needed to finish up her Kindergarten supply list anyways.

Before even thinking about leaving the house I prepared a list of the things I still needed to pick up. I’m a list maker. In fact, I have a list for the lists I make. That’s how I get things done around here! I also made sure that I had the Walgreens mobile app updated on my phone and my Balance Rewards card linked to ensure the most efficient shopping experience. Once I arrived to the store I browsed through the weekly ad and current promotions based on my location. I was able to look through several categories of savings including beauty, household, food, back to school, and much more.

Each coupon can only be used once and I made sure to keep this in mind when shopping. There were many pages of really great deals offered but I was mainly focused on the school supply section which was glowing with yellow sale tags! It looked like I had picked the perfect time to finish up my shopping because a lot of the items advertised were also already on sale.

Within minutes I was scrolling through the app and clicking the “clip to card” button on what I needed and a few other things that caught my eye. It was that easy and I scored extra savings on sale items. Once I was finished clipping I was able to sync the coupons to my Balance Rewards card.CHA-CHING!

Checking out was just as easy as the digital clipping. I didn’t even need to fish through my purse for my Balance Rewards card because everything needed was in my phone. The cashier scanned my items, zapped the bar code within the app, and voila- this girl saved 43%. That’s $17.80 in savings and extra money for our Disney trip fund.

Earlier this month I decided to make a “Disney Trip” jar for Toodie to keep in her room. This is a reminder that we have once again started to plan our second trip to Disney World! It’s exciting for all of us and it is also a fun way to encourage her to save for something BIG. Hopefully it will also teach her the importance of saving and being responsible with money.

With the savings from our most recent shopping trip we created a nice little nest egg to build off of. It will be interesting to see how much we can save before our vacation arrives. There is a Mickey Premium ice cream bar waiting for me!

The ability to clip paperless coupons with the Walgreens mobile app makes saving easy. It also gives me the ability to spend more time with my family and a way to contribute to our big family trip. Thanks to #CollectiveBias I fell in love with the thrill of saving all over again with #WalgreensPaperless coupons! How will you use paperless coupons to simplify your life?

    Does Walgreen's let you use their paperless coupons combined with manufacturer's coupons? I've recently discovered coupon stacking and have been saving a butt load, great idea about the jar, it helps to visualize the goal!

    I have no idea! I didn't even think about that but wish I had. That would be a great way to maximize savings. I need to get back on my coupon game. I know a lot of people that stack and double their coupons to get their whole bill for free!

    I used to be so vigilant using manufacturer coupons for over 5 years, but I am burned out! I think I like the paperless coupons that Walgreens is having. Some of their coupons are so small that I have lost them. I am going to go paperless. I like it!

    I love paperless coupons, they are the easiest way to save a ton of money and not to worry about loosing or misplacing your paper coupons. I love your idea of having a savings jar, I teach my kids that you must save a little and spend a little to ensure you have the ability to have money in reserve incase of an emergency. Thank you for sharing your savings and ideas with us.

    The paperless coupons is a great idea! Now I don't have to worry about losing all the coupons I saved, and I don't have to worry about people killing trees to make those coupons. :)

    I had no idea there was such a thing as paperless coupons. I am going to download the Walgreens App tonight and check it out! I love your Disney savings idea and that jar is super cute!

    Wow, great job! I don;t coupon as much as I probably should. I think I've used paperless coupons a few times. But you're showing me that it could totally be worth it! And that jar for inspiration? Great idea!

    Awesome! I need to be more disciplined about couponing. Thanks for sharing! Love the Disney jar:)

    I love how much you saved which is great savings. Around here most grocery stores don't except printed coupons so I wound if they will except the paperless coupons. I love your savings jar because it is very creative. Thanks for sharing.
  11. Rebecca Swenor says

    Aug 10 at 4:35 pm

    I love how much the coupons saved you. Around here a lot of the grocery stores will not take printed coupons so I wonder if they would take the paperless. It could not hurt to try. I love your savings jar which is very creative.

    Sales, coupons, vouchers and anything that provides a discount to purchases are my mom's best buddies! She's always attracted to anything marked down so sometimes that makes her a compulsive-buying shopper.

    Your savings jar is adorable!! I need to make those for my kids to use this year. We are planning out and saving for a Disneyland Trip... 2 years away still! But, I am determined to get us there. Good job on all of your savings. Enjoy that ice cream bar! #client

    Wow, paperless coupons, technology has come a long way.

    I use additional points apps for supermarkets, and also when shopping in the high street I keep an eye on voucher apps. My biggest issue is that the ones for the high street require connections in the shop. Mostly I find it hard to access online when I need to.

    Great info. I love Walgreens. I am the worst at cutting and bringing the coupons. I need all the help I can get!
