Walgreens Trips....plural!

I've made 3 trips to Walgreens in the last 3 days.  I went once on Sunday morning & to two different ones today.

On Sunday, I bought:


2 - 12pks of Cottonelle toilet paper 
     They were $5.00 ea ($10.00 for both).  I used 2 - $0.75 off coupons PLUS 2 - $1.00 off coupons that was in the Walgreens coupon booklet for July, making it $3.25ea ($6.50 for both).  And then I got a $3.50 Register Rewards to use on my next shopping trip (at Fred Meyer).  Making it $1.50 for each 12pk of toilet paper.

2 - Bottles of Head & Shoulders
    They were $4.00 ea ($8.00 for both).  I used 1 - Buy One Get One Free coupon.  Making it $4.00 for both.  And then I got a $2.00 Register Rewards back.  Making it $1.00 for each bottle.

1 - Bottle of Complete Multipurpose Contact Solution
   It was $8.00.  I used 1 - $1.00 off coupon (found in this past Sunday's SmartSource insert).  Made this $7.00 & then I got an $8.00 Register Rewards back.  Making it a $1.00 money maker.

My total out of pocket:  $17.50'ish.  Got back $13.50 in Register Rewards.  Making it $4.00 on the items.



Today's first trip to Walgreens, I bought: (they didn't have the contact solution boo!!)

2 - Bottles of Head & Shoulders

1 - Scope Mouth Wash & 1 - Crest Complete Toothpaste 
    This was $3.00 ea ($6.00 for both).  I used 1 - $1.00 off scope & 1 - $0.75 off crest coupons.  Making this $4.25.  I got back $3.00 in Register Rewards.  Making it $1.25 for both.

2 - Oral B Glide Dental Floss
    This was $2.50 ea ($5.00 for both).  I used 1 - $1.00 off & 1 - $0.75 off coupon.  Making this $3.25.  I got back $2.00 in Register Rewards.  Making it $1.25 for both.

2 - Coffee Mate Creamers 
    This was $1.50 ea ($3.00 for both).  I used 1 - $0.75 off 2 items & 1 - $1.00 off 2 items.  Making this $1.25. I got back $1.00 in Register Rewards.  Making it $0.25 for both.

My total out of pocket:  $15.02 after tax.  Got back $8.00 in Register Rewards.  Making it $7.02 on the items.


Today's second trip to Walgreens, I bought:  

1 - Bottle of Complete Multipurpose Contact Solution


2 - Bottles of Head & Shoulders


1 - Scope Mouth Wash & 1 - Crest Complete Toothpaste


2 - Oral B Glide Dental Floss


2 - Packages of Black Forest Gummy Bears (weakness lol)

My total out of pocket:  $21-something.  Got back $15.00 in Register Rewards.  Making it $6.00 on all the items.

So over my three trips at Walgreens, I paid $53.52 out of pocket, got back $36.50 in Register Rewards to use at Freddy's for meat.  Making all of the items: $17.02.

And yes, I know that I still PAID $53.00, however, I have that $36 back to spend at Freddy's on the more expensive, non coupon items.

I also did a small run at Albertsons & used 6 of the doubler coupons.  But I didn't have much luck with their sales this week.  This is what I did buy though....

2 - Boxes of New York Texas Toast - $1.00 per box after coupons & doubles.
1 - Bag of Bugles - $0.88 after coupon & double.
1 - Kings Hawaiian Sub Rolls - $0.99 after coupon & double.
2 - Talentin's Gelato - $9.78 after coupon & double (don't ask.  M is addicted to these & without researching, I thought i'd be doing good by using my coupon & doubles here.  SO NOT THE CASE!! They sold at Albertsons for $5.99ea.  But they sell at Safeway for $3.99.  That's what I get for not doing my homework.  He better eat them ALL!

My total out of pocket: $13-something

Tonight, I'll be hitting up QFC for my BFFF & my hula sissy's Mom.

Buy 4 General Mills Cereal, Get 2 Gallons of Free Milk!! Cereal is $1.88 ea.  I have 2 coupons that are $1.00 off any 2.  Which will make them $2.76 for 2....$5.52 for all 4 boxes & 2 gallons of milk.

I've got to make my list for Target (not sure what's matched up, if anything, but i've got clothes coupons that can be used on the clearance stuff, so it's just a matter of going to see if there's anything good on the racks).
And then I've got to make my list for Fred Meyer, since I've got these Register Rewards to use up.
