There are currently a couple of stacking deals at Walgreens that make for an opportunity to stock up on cheap frozen DiGiorno pizza for those cold winter nights. I’ve covered a similar stack in the past, but as I’ve depleted my supply it was time to stock up today.
There are a number of ways to slice the price here and you can sprinkle portal rewards and card-linked offers generously on top to save a lot of dough. It’s not cheesy at all.
I saw part of this stack at Slickdeals, but I’ve taken it a couple of steps further. Here’s the deal:
- Log in to your Walgreens account and go to the coupons page. Load any applicable coupons. I had one for $5 in rewards on a purchase of $20 or more expiring today, so I loaded it.
- Click through a shopping portal to Walgreens. The Wyndham portal is offering 10 points per dollar at the time of writing. There’s a chance it won’t work if you use a code that they don’t list, but you’re spending so little that it probably doesn’t matter. If you’re new to the Walgreens loyalty program, there is a better coupon that is listed via the portal (more on that in #4 below).
- Add 8 DiGiorno frozen pizzas to your cart. You can mix and match between the four cheese, supreme, three meat, and pepperoni. You could do this deal with fewer pizzas (the pizzas are buy one get one free), but you’ll need 8 to maximize the coupon for the extra $5 in rewards if you have it.
- Apply coupon code TODAY10 to take 10% off for an in-cart total of $25.16. If you’re new to Walgreens, you might be apply to get 20% off your first order with coupon code WELCOME20 (I didn’t test this).
- Make sure that the credit card you use at checkout is connected to your Rakuten in-store offers and you have linked the Walgreens deal to earn 5% back or 5x Membership Rewards points.
In the end, you’ll be out of pocket $25.16 and get:
- 8 DiGiorno pizzas
- $5.25 in Walgreens rewards cash
- ~250 Wyndham Rewards points (worth around $2)
- ~125 Membership Rewards points or $1.25 in cash back
- Credit card rewards
You’re paying $3.15 per pizza to get all that. Depending on how you value the rewards, you’re somewhere between two and three bucks per pizza.
Keep in mind that if Walgreens is out of stock, you can mark whether you will accept substitutions or not, whether they must be the same brand or not, and you can add notes. I recommend requiring that substitutions are the same brand. You don’t want the Walgreens brand Nice! pizza. Trust me. It. Is. Not. Nice.
What really is nice is that in my past experience when Walgreens doesn’t have the entire order in stock they have reduced my quantity and prorated the refund while not reducing the rewards I earned (at least not immediately — I didn’t track to see if there was a later claw back?).
I have seen some reports of people having orders cancelled. YMMV as to whether your Walgreens has stock and also has employees who want to go to the freezer and bag up your pizzas and then fight off the other customers who try to take them.
At the end of the day, I’ll be happy to restock the freezer for those cold winter days when I just don’t feel like leaving the house. If only they delivered these instead of me having to drive up the road to pick them up…..
I’ll pass on the digiorno pizzas, if I’m going to eat unhealthy food it better taste good…but you can also stack with the $10 off $25 offer on Gpay.
The Wyndham portal also says no rewards are given for grocery, so I’m curious if this will track.
Other ways to stack include Google Pay (has a $10 off $25 deal) and the Pei app (which is not very reliable IME).
Wyndham did not give rewards points, followup with them resulted in denial due to no rewards for grocery.
You got that right about the “Not Nice” Nice pizza. I bought those during that other promo. At first I thought they forgot the crust and put the sparse toppings on the included cardboard insert, but after eating one I realized the cardboard would have been better.
