Walgreens Update

Wow - it has been awhile since I posted again.... I haven't stopped shopping.

Last week at Walgreens I was able to get 28 Reach Toothbrushes. They were on sale 2/$6 and buy 2 get a $6RR. I had B1G1 Qs from a wonderful coupon buddy. I used my giftcard balance to purchase them. $3 + tax for each set of 2. That is really about all I did last week - searched stores for toothbrushes ; ) The other sales weren't of much interest to me.

In the end:

I spent $42 +tax on my GC
Have 28 toothbrushes (which I have already started to donate)
Earned $84 in RR

I used the RR to buy rebate items - so the $ will end up back on my GC. I also used the RR to purchase a Christmas gift. And I still have 1 $6RR left.

This week - the ad is somewhat slow, but the 4day sale is going on and you do receive a $5 Holiday Reward for every $25 you spend. The $25 is pre-coupons.

Here is what I did yesterday:
9.50 Photo Order (for Christmas Cards)
5.07 Reynolds Wrap (3 @ 1.69)
13.98 Arm & Hammer Detergent (2 @ 6.99)
28.55 Before Coupons

Less:
-3.00 3 $1/1 Reynolds Wrap Mfg
-2.00 2 $1/1 A&H IP
-10.00 A&H 4day Ad Q (Sale is 1.99ea)
-2.10 Reynolds 7day Ad Q (Sale is .99ea)
-5.00 Holiday Reward earned last week

6.45 OOP - I actually paid for this, since it was for our Christmas cards I figured it didn't have to come out of my Fun budget (ie. giftcard)

I earned another $5 Holiday Reward also.

Another great deal during the 4day ad is the Entertainment Book. Walgreens sells them for $25 - There is a $10off Q in the 4day Ad. You will also earn a $5 Holiday reward for your purchase ($25 or greater)
