Walgreens


Had $32.00 more RRs expiring today I needed to roll so I headed to Walgreens for this weeks deals early too. The bad thing about Walgreens is rainchecks won't help because you can't get the RRs after the offer is over. Plus, most of my coupons were expiring tomorrow.

In my first two transactions, I was expecting the Character bandaids Wags q to take off $4.00, but it only took off $3.00, so I was a dollar off in my calculations. No big deal, I needed those sandwich bags and they were on sale for a good price anyway.

Same thing happened to me on my first two transactions until I inspected my receipts and realized it was only taking off up to the price of the items. So I adjusted the rest of my transactions. I used the $3/2 J&J blinkies for this deal and they worked fine- no beeps!

I used up all my $3/2 blinkies I had and that you sent me last time, when we did the Rite Aid 10 boxes of Bandaids deal, I think.
Wish they'd put them back out again. Next time I'll just stand there and get me some, instead of worrying about looking suspicious, lol.
