We hit Walgreens very early this morning. I think I did okay, but I made a rookie mistake in regards to RR. It was my first time ever receiving them and I didn't consider the other rules when I rang up my purchases. It will work out though. I did find one surprise deal!
Transactions 1-4 (This was my mistake. I should have rang all of them up together and received $20 RR back on one ticket instead of 4 $5 RR. Oh well, live and learn.)
4 - Dry Idea Clinical Strength Deo/Antiperspirant - $7.99 on sale for $5.99 = total $23.96 received 4 $5 RR back for a total of $3.96 for 4
Transaction 5
Newspaper (not pictured) - $1.60
2 - Quaker Oats Granola bars - sale for 2/$4 - $1 MQ = $3 for 2
2 - Kellogg's pop tarts - with WAG coupon = 2/$3 - $1 MQ = $2 for 2
2 - Starbucks truffles (THIS IS MY FIND!!!) - on sale for 2/$10 - used ESQ to make it 2/$4 - found a box of MQ for $1 each, so price came to $2 for 2 ($1 a box for Starbucks truffles!!!)
2 - M&M Premium candies - on sale 2/$7 - ESQ of $1 - 2/$1 = $4 for 2 boxes (these were a treat since I had heard how good they are)
1 - Garnier Nurtrisse Wave spray -$3.49 - $1 MQ = $2.49 - ES Rebate = free + $1 money maker
1 - Zucol lozenges - $7.99 sale - $2 MQ = $5.99 - ES Rebate = free + $2 money maker
1 - Thermacare trial size - $2.49 sale - $1 MQ = $1.49 - ES Rebate = free + $1 money maker
1 - Secret deodorant - with WAG Q = $1.99 - $0.25 MQ = $1.74
2 - Ricola lozenges - WAG Q made them $1.29 each - 2/$1 MQ = $1.58
1 - Revlon Creme Lip Gloss - $9.99 - ES Rebate = free
1 - Splenda Granulate sugar - $2.99 sale - $3 MQ = free
2 - Nature's Bound Fish Oil tablets - BOGO for $9.99 - 2 $1 MQ = $7.99 for 2
Okay, so if I did this right here is how the total breaks down:
Total original cost - $132.53
Total sales - $26.77
Total coupons - $37.95 (Includes $10 RR, and I still have $10 RR left)
Rebates coming back to me - $23.96
Total OOP = $43.85 (It should have been $33.85 but I had my rookie mistake with the RR and forgetting about the # of coupons rule). 67% savings
I don't have a gift card yet because I am waiting to receive my first one. I could have gotten another free after rebate item, but I would never use it so I didn't get it.
