Walgreens trip- 1/10/10- Saved 65%


I must say, I rocked Walgreens today with the help of my wonderful husband! I couldn't have done it without him considering he helped run to the register and keep our toddler entertained. I was bummed that another girl got to the last Dryel 5 seconds before I did, but oh well! I still worked some great deals!

Transaction #1
*I started with $3 in RR*

I bought:
1 Thermacare heat wrap trial size $2.49 ($1.00 MFQ & received $2.50 RR) $1.00 MM!!
1 Nivea Shower Gel $4.99 ($2.00 MFQ & received $2 RR)
1 Colgate Max Fresh toothpaste $2.99 ($0.75 MFQ & received $2 RR)
2 cow tales candies: $0.58**
$2 RR coupon
$1 RR coupon

**I needed 2 filler items to make my coupon to item ratio 1/1. Walgreens RRs work like MFQs, unlike CVS ECBs. You must have 1 item per coupon.

Total OOP for this transaction: $5.02 & received $6.50 RR!

Transaction #2
*I started with the $6.50 RR from transaction #1*

I bought:
2 Oral B Cross Action toothbrushes: 2/$6 ($0.75 MFQ)
2 Sunlight Dish Detergents: (BOGO $1.99 WAGS in-ad coupon & $0.25 MFQ)
filler item-1 cow tale candy: $0.29
$6.50 RR coupons

Total OOP for this transaction: $1.32 & received $2 RR

Transaction #3

I bought:
I Nivea Shower Gel $4.99 ($2 MFQ & received $2 RR)
1 Thermacare heat wrap trial size: $2.49 ($1.00 MFQ & received $2.50 RR) $1.00 MM!
1 Colgate Max Fresh toothpaste: $2.99 ($0.75 MFQ & received $2 RR)
1 cow tale: $0.29

Total OOP for this transaction: $7.47 & received $6.50 RR

(I was checking out at the pharmacy & picking up a presciption and forgot to wait for my husband to get back with the $2 RR from transaction #2 to put towards transaction #3. I didn't need to buy the cow tale as a filler item.)

Total before sales & coupons for everything: $39.78
I spent $13.81 and have $8.50 RR in my pocket. That's a 65% savings!!
