Had fun at Walgreens tonight. I was there AGAIN due to continued illness. I got a new prescription for my lingering bronchitis (and now I have sore bones?) and some Ibuprofen for my sore bones. So while I was waiting for my prescription to be filled I decided to thumb through the weekly and compare it to my coupons.
The only thing that stood out right away was the $.49 movie theater candy boxes and the Mentos.
I got:
8 boxes of Theater Candy
6 packs of Mento's gum (on sale for $.99 each, plus had $.55 cent off coupons! Score)
1 Box Oreo Cakesters
1 Coffee Mate
Prior to my coupons my total was $17 bucks. With my coupons and the $4 RR I ended up paying $7.04 out of pocket! That's only $.43 per item!
In these tough economic times and living in the Las Vegas area, I am starting to understand the importance of couponing to save money. I work a full time job so all of my couponing is done "Part-time". But if I can do it, anyone can do it. So join me on this coupon journey!

Walgreens trip 2/20
I also had a good Walgreens night! I am still learning the whole register rewards thing.
I took advantage of the Fusion Razor that still had the register rewards linked to it. I had a $6 RR from a previous trip that I used and purchased some Dots. That transaction was $4.69. I paid $2.99 for the razor and earned $4 in RR back. So technically for the Razor and candy I paid $.69 out of pocket!
My second transaction was all screwed up as the line behind me was building up and I wasn't paying attention to what was ringing up. I purchased another Everpure shampoo because the tag on the isle said it was $4.99, but it rang up $6.99. I had a $2 off MFR Coupon, what I failed to realize is the $4.99 price was associated with the coupon in the WAGs flyer. I did the same with the Johnson&Johnson soap I bought. I didn't want to go back to the store as it was late and started raining. And with it being the last day of the weekly special, I am just chalking this one up to another lesson learned. Don't let the people behind me frazzle me....I am a paying customer too!
I only spent $13 out of pocket and I picked up a 6 pack spool of Singer Thread ( it was 2 bucks!), 2 bottles of Johnson&Johnson body soap, another big bottle of Purex laundry detergent and 1 bottle of EverPure Shampoo. I still saved 50% off the bill, but it would have been alot cheaper if I would have not given in to the "lack of customer patience behind me".
