Coke, 2-liter, at high end grocer in our area: generally $2.77 - $3.49; on sale today, 2-liter for $2.00 if one buys two bottles
Walgreen's:
- Charmin 2-ply; mega 6 = 36; at Amazon: $20; at Walgreen's, regular, $13.99; on-sale for $12.99;
- Paper towels, Bounty, 6 = 12, at Amazon, $22.75; $12.99
- Kleenex: one three-carton package, regularly $6.99; on sale today $5.99 or $5 / package if one buys two packages, so instead of $14, it cost me $10
- and, finally, a coupon worth $10
Savings at Walgreens based on Amazon's posted on-line price:
- $7 + $10 + $4 = $21
- Amazon price: $56.76
- Walgreen's price incl coupon: $22.99
- 22.99 / 56.75 = 41%
My wife says: "truly amazing."
