Walgreens


Today I HAD to roll/blow $38.00 worth of RRs or risk losing them.

Two of the RRs were RRs I got from buying the Almay Foundation before, so I couldn't buy more Almay in the same transaction I was using those RRs in. I had a $10.00 RR from buying Tylenol so I bought an Almay in a separate transaction.  Of course it only cost $9.99, so I had to have a filler to make up the one cent. The cheapest thing I could find real quick was a .10 Christmas gift bag.
$9.99 Almay makeup
$  .10 gift bag
= $10.09 + .71 tax = $10.80

Paid with $10.00 RR and .80 cash.
Received $10.00 RR

Total cost $.80 oop

I had $28.00 RRs left, so I started with getting the MoneyMakers: Infusium, Therflu, and Triaminic. Then I bought the available Free-After-RRs I could, then blew the remainder.

**I was adding as I went along, and thought I had more than $28.00 worth of items, but the last RR beeped. I knew I had more items than coupons, so the problem was obviously that I was in the negative. Walgreens registers won't tell you your amount before taxes, so I figured we'd ring up more Christmas bags until it took the RR. Turned out it only took one more. I was only .07 in the negative.

Total Value before Coupons: $55.82
Total Value after Coupons: $28.03 + 3.83 tax = $31.86

Paid with $28.00 RRs and 3.86 cash

Recieved RRs: $28.00

Total Cost: $3.86 oop
