Walgreens

I was actually wanting Walgreens to start having good deals again? What was I thinking?? How could I have forgotten how stressful it was to make sure I got this much and that amount and the correct number of whatever and blah blah blah.

I don't know what the heck I did; the Reach was supposed to be giving me $1.01 overage each time, and the Hall's .75 profit each, but according to my calculations, this stuff cost me like $19.00, nearly $20.00??

Maybe I'm figuring wrong. I started out with $7.00 RR. Do I only count those as what I spent? Or do I also count all the RRs I earned and rolled today?

If I'm supposed to add all the RRs, I spent $12.87 in cash, and $33.00 in RRs, making it a cost of $19.87.
But if I only count the RRs I started with, then I spent $12.87 in cash, and $7.00 in RRs, making it a profit of $6.13.
(Neither amount really seems right)

*Adding the Reach and Hall's transactions I did, and subtracting the amount of the items that cost, and tax, it appears that the +6.13 profit is probably correct. Sure don't seem like it.

*Total before coupons, excluding tax, $172.18 (No way that little bit of stuff is worth that much!)

Wags is very stressful that is why I have chosen to stick with RiteAid for now. I hope they don't change things up at RiteAid although I wouldn't be surprised if they did. DId you see the deal on Rogaine at RiteAid you get 6$ from 20% wellness disc. overage after you combine the 20/1 vv and 10/1 mani (Rogaine site)on the 29.99 one month supply. YMMV cause the picture on the vv doesn't exactly match but it doesn't beep and thats all my cashier cares about. :)
I have done this deal 3x combined with the bounty and great deal!!!!
