Walgreens shopping



This week there is a great deal on Cottonelle TP at Walgreens so I went this morning to see how I could strategically use the $4 Register Reward I already had to minimize my out of pocket spending. I ended up doing 3 transactions so I could earn multiple RR's and still use some RR's to reduce my OOP.

Transaction #1

Gillette Fusion Pro-Glide Razor- $9.89 (get $5 RR!)
$4.00 off coupon from 5/1 P&G
** $5.89 OOP PLUS $5 RR earned! **
I knew I was going to have to spend some out of pocket to get my TP and I figured I'd get this because I could use the $5 RR on one of the TP transactions to reduce my OOP.

$12.99 before coupons and discounts
-$3.10 sales
-$4.00 coupon
+ $.59 tax
=============
$6.48 OOP PLUS $5 RR earned!

Transaction #2

2- Cottonelle TP 12 packs- $5.00 (buy 2 get $3 RR, buy 3 get $4 RR- unadvertised RR!)
2- $.50 off printable from here or here
2- $1.00 off Walgreens coupon from May coupon booklet found in store (scans once but takes it off for each item purchased)
** $3.50 for each 12 pack PLUS $3.00 RR earned for buying 2! **

GUM Eez thru flossers- $2.00 (get $2 RR!)
** $2.00 OOP PLUS $2 RR= FREE after RR! **

$12.99 before coupons and discounts
-$.99 sales
-$3.00 coupons
-$5.00 RR used
+ $.72 tax
===============
** $4.72 OOP PLUS $3 & $2 RR's earned!! **

Transaction #3

2- Cottonelle TP 12 packs- $5.00 (buy 2 get $3 RR, buy 3 get $4 RR- unadvertised RR!)
2- $.50 off printable from here or here
2- $1.00 off Walgreens coupon from May coupon booklet found in store (scans once but takes it off for each item purchased)
** $3.50 for each 12 pack PLUS $3.00 RR earned for buying 2! **

GUM Eez thru flossers- $2.00 (get $2 RR!)
** $2.00 OOP PLUS $2 RR= FREE after RR! **

$12.99 before coupons and discounts
-$.99 sales
-$3.00 coupons
-$4.00 RR used (from last week)
+ $.72 tax
===============
** $5.72 OOP PLUS $3 & $2 RR's earned!! **


Here's the total for all 3:

$38.97 before coupons and discounts
-$5.08 sales
-$10.00 coupons
-$9.00 Register Rewards redeemed
+$2.03 tax
======================
$16.92 total OOP PLUS $10.00 in Register Rewards earned! Not too bad for 48 rolls of TP, 1 razor and 2 packages of flossers!

I'll already warn you that I'll probably go back a couple more times for more TP so there will be lots of Walgreens pictures this week. We only use Cottonelle and were on our last few rolls so I need a good stockup.
