I was feeling very motivated today to get myself to Walgreens. I do like to go on Sunday because if I need a filler item, I can get another newspaper, which really ends up saving me more money the next time I use them! I also like going on Sunday because then Walgreens isn't too out of things. I know this week they will most likely be out of a lot of things because of all of the wonderful RRs. (See my post here about Walgreens, or my post here about coupon lingo if you have no idea what I am referring to) :)
I got everything above for : $9.93 and still have $27.50 in RRs to either keep rolling, or to use in my future adventures at Walgreens.
***One piece of advice everyone - make a list before you leave the house. I know things don't always go exactly as planned, but then you aren't frazzled when you go to buy your things. What I do is make a list of all of the transactions I am going to do. When I do that I can have all of my RRs that I want to roll all organized. This also helps ensure that I am not going to lose out on a RR because I accidentally used one on the same product. For example, this week there are two Bayer deals that spit out RRs. You need to make sure you don't accidentally use one of those RR to pay for another transaction that has any Bayer items in it! I also have separate envelopes for each transaction that I am going to make so my coupons are all set and ready to go when the cashier is. That way, if the cashier is nice enough, I can do two separate transactions at one store with the least amount of time possible. I also end up using less gas because I have to travel to less Wags stores. :) That is just my two cents. DO what works best for you!
