Walgreens Quick Trip 7/2

After my interview this morning, I decided to stop by Walgreens and get a few things. Here is what I got:

• 2 boxes of HaganDaz ice cream bars. On clearance for $2.14. Had a $1 coupon making them $1.64 each
• 2 cans of Pringles (for the holiday weekend) $.99 each. Had $1 coupon off 2, making these $.49 each
• 4 boxes of Shells N Cheese $1.67 each (awesome price!) Had 2 coupons for $1.50 off 2. So, they were 4/$3.67 or about $.92 each (I add ingredients to these to make them a more rounded meal)
  
• Dawn dish detergent $1.99. Used Walgreens coupon to make it $.99 plus a $.50 off 1 coupon, making it $.49

I then used two $3 register rewards. The register wouldn't let me use my other one that was for $1, so I will use that next week.

Amount before savings: $27.23
Sales savings: $12.23
Coupon savings: $12.50
Amount paid: $2.50 (saved 90.8%)

My Walgreens and Rite Aid Deals 6/21

Guess how much this all this stuff cost me. Nothing. $0.00!!!! It was a good day, let me tell ya. LOL. Here is the breakdown:

Rite Aid

• 4 Mentos Gum. Used 4 $1 off coupons to get all for FREE (I have 2 more coupons at home so I will probably run over later in the week and grab 2 more)
  
• Crest Enamel Shield toothpaste $2.69 with a $2.69 rebate = FREE
  
• Suave deodorant $1.99. Used $.50 coupon and there is $1.50 rebate making an OVERAGE of $.01

I also had a $2 rebate check from last month that I used. I spent $2.87 and will be getting $4.19 in rebates. Therefore I had an overage of $1.32. Nothing like getting paid to shop! LOL.

Walgreens

• Sunday newspaper $1.50
• Gallon of milk $1.89
• 3 boxes of cereal. 3/$7 and get $1 in register rewards. Also used $1 off 3 coupon which made them 3/$6
  
• 3 packages of Kotex pads at $2.99 each. Buy 3 and get $3 in register rewards. Used 2 $1 off coupons which made them $2.32 each
• Aquafresh Whitening toothpaste $3 with $3 in register rewards - essentially making this free

If I hadn't gotten the milk and paper there my savings would have been greater, but we needed these anyway. I used 4 Register Rewards from 2 weeks ago worth $12.50. I paid $7.82 out of pocket and received $7.00 in Register Rewards. So, it was almost like paying $.82 for all this stuff.

I spent $10.69 out of pocket. I have $4.19 in rebates coming and received $7 in Register Rewards. This comes out to me actually getting paid to shop! Love it!!? I got $42.65 worth of product absolutely free!!! That's a savings of 100%+.

My Walgreens Deals 6/10

I bought quite a few things yesterday at Walgreens. I had quite a few coupons and I got quite a few Register Rewards. I had a gift card from the last month that they ran their rebate program, so I used that to decrease my total also. Here is what I got:

• Gillette body wash and Gillette shampoo, both on sale for $4 each. I had a $1 off coupon for the body wash and another $1 coupon for the shampoo, making these 2/$6. At checkout I received a $3 Register Reward, making these essentially 2/$3.
• 2 Head and Shoulders shampoos, on sale for 2/$8. Used $2 off 2 coupon which brought these down to 2/$6. At checkout I got $2 in Register Rewards, making these essentially 2/$4.
• 2 Palmolive dish detergent. On sale for $.99 each with coupon. Used $1 off 2 to make these less than $1 for two.
  
• 2 Snuggle fabric softener and a container of All. On sale for $4.49 each = $13.47. I had 2 coupons for $.50 off and one for $.40 off, which made them $12.07. At checkout, I received $5 in Register Rewards essentially making these 3/$7.07 or $2.35 each.
• Gillette Fusion Gamer razor $9.49. Used a $4 coupon, making it $5.49. At checkout, I received a $2.50 Register Reward, essentially making it $2.99

Total Before Savings: $54.94
Sales, Coupons, Gift Card: $29.45
Total Paid Out of Pocket: $25.49
Total After RR's: $16.96

I plan to go to Walgreens again this week and use some of my Register Rewards. They have Slim-Fast on sale and with RR's, plus I have coupons. They also have a coupon in the ad for $2 off Neosporin On the Go, plus I have a $1 coupon. They want $5.99 for this, but after coupons, this would be $2.99 and probably would be nice to have in the glove box or diaper bag. They also have my makeup on sale for 40% off, plus I have a coupon for $1 off. I will need to get some fillers in order to use the RR's I just got, but I will still be getting everything cheap.

Just a little tip: Make sure you have as many products as you do coupons and RR's. For example, if you have 3 manufacture coupons and you want to also use 2 RR's, you need to buy 5 things. Look for cheap fillers like candy bars or anything else that might be 2/$1 or 3/$1 to bring your total items sold to the amount you need.

Coming Soon!

I am currently working on the second part of my budgeting article and will have that for you soon. I wanted to work on it this weekend but we were busy busy busy (went to my parents' house on Saturday for a cookout and we got our garden tilled on Sunday). I am hoping to have the next part of it for you before the week is out.

In light of the whole swine flu and the possibility of a pandemic, I am also doing an inventory of my stockpile. I am not freaking out over the whole thing, I just want to be prepared. I want to have at least 2 months' worth of the essential foods and products. It will do no harm to make sure we have this, and it can only help. If money starts getting tight later in the summer, we will have a good stockpile of food and will only have to go to the store to buy milk. When I am done with my inventory count, I will share with you the numbers, and let you know what I plan to buy to increase my stockpile. I am wanting to get this done this week.

I am also working on getting you the deal list for Walgreen's, Rite Aid, and Tops. (I am busy busy busy huh?) I am working on them as we speak and will have all three done by tomorrow. I did look through them all and there seems to be some good deals. Jubilee also has some good deals this week, so I will also let you know what they have.

I am off to get what I can done of this stuff. Have a very wonderful day!
