I'm glad I got myself a big cup of coffee before I sat down to recap the Walgreens ad for 7/31 through 8/6/11, cause it's a whopper -- with prices as low as 11 cents for school supplies, and 50 cents for things like Scope mouthwash or Special K cereal.  The complete list is discussed in detail below.

My favorite freebies are the Crayola washable markers and the money-maker toothbrushes -- toothbrushes are now officially on my list of things I don't pay for, along with razors, toothpaste, and mouthwash!

• Rubber organizational bins with lids -- on sale for $1 each. 
• M&Ms -- on sale 2 bags for $5, with $1 back in Register Rewards.  If the Pretzel M&Ms are included, use two copies of the $1 off coupon from the 6/19 Red Plum and pay a final price of a buck per bag -- but you'll have to shop on Sunday to score this, since the coupon expires on 7/31.

• Month-long Walgreens freebie deal (available from 7/31 through 8/27)
  
  
  • Keri body lotion -- on sale for $6.99, with $5 back in Register Rewards.  Use the $2 off coupon from the 7/17 Smartsource insert, and yours is free!  I would anticipate supplies of this item to sell out at many Walgreens on Sunday morning, but it will likely be restocked throughout the month.  So go ahead and gather your coupons, then just keep your eyes peeled as you shop Walgreens throughout August.  (Thanks to WildforWags for the info!)
