Ok, so this was my second trip to Walgreens trying to build up my stock of toiletries because I've decided that I don't want to pay for them anymore since I heard you don't really have to!! If you didn't know that....I'm letting you know, don't pay for toiletries again!!
Anyway, I'll stop preaching now! Today I spent $16.52 and received $16 in Register Rewards, which means, I paid a total of $.52 for all the the product in that picture!!! Amazing! If you notice I did not get side tracked this week and just bought what was on my list! I had to buy creamer because I was all out and you don't want to meet me in the morning w/o my coffee!!
Lesson I learned today was: You can't use more coupons than you have in product. For example I cut out some manufacturer coupons from the Sunday paper this week so when Walgreens had lotions/body washes on sale 4/$12 then get $4 RR, I had a coupon for each of those 4 products in addition to getting the RR. Anyway, I used my paper coupons plus my RR's from my last trip and I had one RR for just $1 that I couldn't use, which also makes sense because if I would have used it they technically would be owing me $. I wouldn't have complained, but I won't complain at paying $.52 either!!
Happy saving this week!
Welcome Monday! I tend to like Monday's more than the weekend and today is no different. It really makes me feel good to get back to the weekday schedule. Monday's I usually do laundry and get the house back in order. Jaylin goes back to school and Aaron goes back to work. I watch a little girl named Ali on MTW, so that just leaves us 3 girls. Ali and Aubrey like to argue, but today they've gotten along pretty well, only a few disputes with toys ;)
Yesterday a Facebook friend posted how much she saved and all the stuff she got after going to Wal-green's and using her Register Rewards (RR) and I really want to start taking advantage of those savings! I read a blog not that long ago that said the gal didn't know what she did before when she actually had to pay for toiletries. Ever since I read that I get angry when I buy toothpaste or deodorant, I feel like I should be getting them free too! So, I subscribed to our hometown paper that includes the big Sunday paper with all the coupons, that was my excuse before, I never had time to run out and get the paper or by the time Sunday rolled around we were out of money! So I bit the bullet and signed up for the paper. We now get 13 weeks for $19.95, so let's hope it pays off!
SO! today was my first day shopping at Wal-Greens and I'm sure I did not do as well as my friend on FB did, but I'm sure I will learn!
I ended up spending $55.72 and received $15.00 in RR for my next shopping trip. So that means, I bought all the below stuff for about $40.72. I'm a sucker too, so I did buy some stuff that I didn't plan during my trip planning session! So I spent over what I planned, but I got more stuff too!
