Walgreens Shopping 4/18/11 *Part 2*

WHOA! Two posts in one day when I've neglected this blog for nearly a year?! :)

What can I say, those register rewards were burning a hole in my pocket. I sat down at the kid's nap time and went through a more in depth review of sales and decided I needed to head back today and "roll" my register rewards. Rolling rewards means you use current rewards you have to buy products that will in turn net you more register rewards. There's lots of rules that I won't go into on this post but if you're ever interested just ask me.

So here's what I picked up this evening:

Transaction 1
  • Chocolate covered peeps, 2/$1 (used Walgreen's 2/$1 coupon, used $1/2 manufacturer coupon making these free!)
  • Cadbury creme egg, 2/$1 x 2 (used Walgreen's 2/$1 coupon x 2)
  • Lightening McQueen Easter egg, $0.99
  • Gillette Deodorant, on sale for buy one get one 1/2 off, $4.99 each (used $1/1 x 2 manufacturer coupon plus the register took off $2.50 for the 1/2 price)
  • Schick Hydro shave gel, on sale buy one get one free, $3.79 each (used $0.75/1 x 2 manufacturer coupon plus the register took off $3.79 for the bogo)
  • Colgate 360 toothbrush and Colgate Total Advanced toothpaste, on sale 2/$6 (used $1/1 x 2 and received a $4 register reward)
  • Reach Total Care toothbrush, $2.99 (used $1/1 manufacturer coupon and received a $2 register reward)
  • Biore Pore Strips and Make Up removal towelettes, $7.49 and $8.49 (used buy a pore strips get a cleanser for FREE manufacturer coupon and received a $5 register reward)
  • Skintimate shave gel, on sale 2/$4 (used $0.55/1 x 2 manufacturer coupon *I must have misread a blog post because I thought I would receive a $2 register reward but that didn't happen. I paid more than I usually would for shave gel*)
Total before coupons and register rewards: $56.59
Total after coupons and register rewards: $20.78
Total saved: $35.81 or 64%

Transaction 2
  • Biore Pore Strips and Make Up removal towelettes, $7.49 and $8.49 (used buy a pore strips get a cleanser for FREE manufacturer coupon and received a $5 register reward)
  • Dora Easter Egg, $0.99
  • Mini Stickerbook, on sale 2/$1
  • Reach Total Care floss, on sale for $2.99 (used $1/1 manufacturer coupon and received a $2 register reward
Total before coupons and register rewards: $22.94
Total after coupons and register rewards: $6.45
Total saved: $16.49 or 72%

By the way...I actually paid less than the totals listed BUT I never count my register rewards twice so the ones I earn on each trip, I always include them in my current purchase totals. Counting the ones I earned from my last shopping trip on top of the ones I earned this trip would be an inaccurate showing of true money spent.
