Walgreen's - Spent 5.27, Saved 118.65

Last December I took a BIG break from EBCs and RRs and it felt good! Most of January I avoided the stores too. It gets quite tedious to keep up with rolling them each week. I recently got back in the habit and have had fun doing so. Lately I am not trying to rack up more and more.. I am trying to use what I have to make my balance as small as possible. I kinda want to be done with it again.. I havent even bothered with CVS.

I started during the Benefiber deals and spent about $20 OOP on a TON of stuff! At the end of all of that, I had 4- $10RR. The next week They had Joint Juice for $10, get a $10RR. I rolled my 4- $10RRs into 5- $10RRs. I rolled them into down to $37RR last week.... it's SO hard to spend $50 at Walgreens!

So this week Bob needed vitamins and we needed some milk. There were a few other things (like DampRid, but I don't think they sell it) that we needed without without coupons... so I went yesterday to see what damage I could do.

BTW~ Walgreens is doing some corporate changes (so they say) and can no longer adjust up or down to use coupons. It may just be the Walgreens I went to... I've done it plenty of times and Amy has a Walgreens that will adjust up a penny to use her coupons and not have overage. I haven't had that luck. So the final Air Wick coupon would not take :-(
