Tuesdays Results...



Today I went to Walgreens.

Rule #1... Don't go couponing with a head cold. My first transaction went well, but they all went downhill from there. Total for all the items : $121.01 OOP (out of pocket) 54.42 and I had $12 in register rewards left to go towards another purchase.
Like I said, the first transaction went well, but the second is where I ran into trouble. I completely spaced that I had too many coupons in the second transaction that did not allow me to use any of my register rewards cash. I ended up with $12 in RR that I couldn't use, so I paid 11.00 OOP and earned an extra $3 IN RR. Now I have $15.
I went home and tried to regroup and made a new shopping plan.
I should have stayed home, because the checker made such horrible mistakes that I didn't catch and instead of paying $5, I paid $16 OOP.
Overall, I did well - but it could have been better if I had been focused and remembered Walgreens coupon policy.

On the bright side... we have TP back in stock at our house, I'm set for a while on feminine care, the kids got their favorite cereals (that I never buy because they are always so expensive) , and I got my favorite crackers (that I can't have until I finish my cleanse). Oh, and Tim and I have plenty of soap and shampoo for Q1 of the year.
Yay!
