Neosporin deal at Target
If you use Neosporin, Target has it on clearance. Originally priced $3.99, it is on clearance for $1.98. Pair that with a $1 MQ and your final price is $0.98. This may be a regional clearance, but it doesn't hurt to check out your local Target!

I changed my mind!
** I don't know what is wrong with this stupid blogger. . .it keeps deleting my extra spaces so everything seems like it is running together. I can't get it to stop doing it. So, you'll notice different size fonts in order to separate the transactions. Any ideas on how to stop this?**
** Second Update: I taught myself some html code and I think I fixed the problem. Yeah for me!**
James and I were in town picking up a few things and I decided to check out Walgreen's. The deciding factor was that the Suave 2 in 1 tear free products were included in the sale. We use that on our dogs and it usually costs $3 each. We also stopped at Walmart for a couple of things.
Transaction #1:
Nivea body wash: $6.99 on sale for $4.99 - $1 MQ = $3.99 received $5 RR
Total before sales and Q = $6.99
Total sales = $2.00
Total Q = $1
Total OOP w/ tax = 0 ($4.32 on GC)
Transaction #2:
2 - Got2B hair products: each $8.79 on sale for $4.99 ea - 2 $2MQ = $6 received $5 RR
1 - Wintergreen gum (filler): $1.29
Total before sales and Q = $18.87
Total sales = $7.60
Total Q = $9 (includes $5 RR from previous transaction)
Total OOP w/ tax = 0 ($2.46 on GC)
Transaction #3:
3 - Suave 2 in 1 Tear free products: $3 each on sale for 3/$5 - $1.75/3 MQ = $3.25 received $2 RR
1 - Wintergreen gum (filler): $1.29
1 - 3 Musketeer candy bar (needed another filler): $0.89
Total before sales and Q = $11.15
Total sales = $3.97
Total Q = $6.75 (includes $5 RR from previous transaction)
Total OOP w/ tax = $0.47 paid with change
Total for all transactions from WAGs:
Total before sales and Q = $37.01
Total sales = $13.57
Total Q = $16.75 (includes $10 RR from previous transaction)
Total OOP w/ tax = $0.47
Walmart:
1 Breyer's ice cream: $3.50 on sale for $2.75 - $0.75 MQ = $2
2 Brownie mixes: $1.38 on sale for $1 = $2
1 pkg hot dog buns: $1.13
1 pkg hamburger buns: $1.13
1 Colgate toothpaste: $2 on sale for $0.94 - $0.75 MQ = $0.19
1 Lady Speed Stick deodorant: $1.48 on sale for $1 - $1 MQ = FREE

Good Walgreen's?
All the blogs I follow are saying that Walgreen's is having a great week with sales. I guess if you buy whatever is on sale that is true. While I might take advantage of a few deals. . .Nivea, Suave and maybe the b2go products, I might not also. The ad says that you can only use one coupon per offer. To get a good deal on the b2go products, you really have to use 2 MQ in order, and some stores may not let consumers do that. I guess I'll wait to see how others manage the deals and decide if I want to try them. I will probably take advantage of the Suave deal without waiting though.
Lately I'm really having a hard time justifying spending money just because it is a good deal. If we are not going to use it soon (we already have a huge stockpile of a lot of stuff) and can't give it away, it is not worth it to me.

Good and bad in today's mail!
Bad news: I got my Home Simple coupon book but the entire middle section is missing! I literally got one coupon out of the booklet and it was on the last page. GRRRR!!!!
Good news: I got a sample of Frosted Mini-wheats from Vocal Point. It came with a BOGO Q and 5 $1 MQ.
If you want one of the $1 MQ leave my a comment with your email address!

Physician's formula deal
I decided to take advantage of the 15% of mdse and free bag at Walgreen's. I wanted to apply it to the Physician's Formula deal. I didn't do as well as I wanted since I had a migraine and was in a hurry.
Transaction #1
2 - Physician Formula lip gloss: $9.79 each on sale for 40% off, plus and additional 15% off = $9.98 - $1 MQ = $8.98 (I opened the other lip gloss before taking the picture.)
1 - Walgreen's bag: $0.99 with 20% off and free bag deal = FREE
Total before sales and Q = $20.57
Total sales = $10.59
Total Q = $1.00
Total OOP w/ tax = 0 ($9.72 on GC)
Transaction #2
1 - Physician formula concealer: $5.49 on 40% sale = $3.29
Total before sales and Q = $5.49
Total sales = $2.20
Total Q = 0
Total OOP w/ tax = 0 ($3.56 on GC)
** Total = $13.28 but will receive $10 rebate from WAGS, so for $3.28 for $26 worth of makeup.**
