My Super Savings ~ Walgreen's

Total Product Value: $123.45
RR Used: $21.

RR Earned: $38.

Total OOP: $5.42

Profit of: $11.58

Took a total of 13 transactions because I had to purchase each Ecotrin individually in order to get the $2. RR Jen's Tip: I always check out with the sweet gals at the cosmetics counter in order to avoid the lines.

I'm so bummed out that one of my favorite Walgreen's Managers is being transferred to Corinth...good luck Dawn, I'll miss you!

I started with $9 RR's from last week then bought all the Ecotrin so I'd have lots of RRs to work with. I also used the $3 off $10 Grand Opening coupons at the Golden Triangle store on 2 of the transactions. I got extremely lucky and found the Pull Ups on clearance for $2.89 each, used $2.00 off Qs and will get $.75 rebate on each from CareGiver's Marketplace ~ Woo Hoo...so keep checking the shelves to score you some great Orange Tag Clearance deals!

What did you score this week?
