This week at Walgreens, Almay makeup is on sale Buy 1 Get 1 50% off. There is a monthly Register Reward deal for the Almay Pure Blends Foundation (Get $10 RRs when you buy it) and the Almay Pure Blends Mascara (Get $5 RRs when you buy it). Then, there is also a $4 off Walgreens coupon for the Almay One Coat Mascara in the November Walgreens Coupon Booklet.
Here are two scenarios that you could do this week:
Scenario #1:
Buy Almay One Coat Mascara – $6.99
Buy Almay One Coat Mascara – $3.50 (after 50% off)
Use $4/1 Walgreens coupon (will take off $8)
$1.25 each after coupon!
**NOTE: Some people are reporting that the deal is actually ringing up as Buy 1 Get 1 FREE. If that’s the case at your store, then it will be a money-maker (although you will need to add something else to your purchase to cover the overage).**
Scenario #2:
Buy Almay Pure Blends Foundation – $9.99
Buy Almay Pure Blends Mascara – $3.50 (after 50% off)
Pay $13.49 out of pocket
Get back $15 in Register Rewards ($10 for the Foundation, $5 for the Mascara)
$1.51 Money-maker after RRs!
**NOTE: If it rings up at B1G1 Free, then it will be a $5 Money-maker instead of just $1.50.**

Just a heads up for the DFW area shoppers, the Almay is ringing up B1G1. And the double pack one-coat, that rings up $6.99, will be B1G1 and take off $8 with the coupon. So much fun, MAKING money at Walgreens!

A better deal on the Almay Make-up
Transaction 1:
buy the True Blend eye shadow $7.49 (at my store), one ALmay one coat mascara (free). Used the $4 off coupon from November coupon book (on the stand with the ads at the front of my store). paid $3.49 OOP and got $5 RR on the eye shadow.
Transaction 2:
Bought 1 True Blend foundation $9.99, 1- one coat mascara (still rang up free at 1:54pm tuesday in Eugene, OR) used the $4 off coupon and the $5 RR from transaction 1. Paid $0.99 OOP and got a $10 RR.
Total for both transactions: $4.48 OOP and have a $10 RR for next time.

I tried the transaction one at my store and they would only use the one coat mascara coupon for the first one, so it was not that great of a deal.
