And Yet another Walgreens Trip


So dear sweet A wanted to shop for her friend's birthday and I promised her $10 in RR. So I gathered up my "plans" and off we went. Before we went I introduced the kids to Operation Christmas Child and they enthusiastically agreed to do a box each. I was hoping to do my Pro-Health deals but alas they were out of them as well. We did discover the $1 section in the store and made some great finds for Op. Christmas C.
I managed to ONLY spend $25.46 oop. I rec'd 10.00 in RR. It would have been $20 but for some reason the other $10 did not print. The manager was very kind and gave me a refund of $10.63. I then used that money to pay the little bits here and there on my other 4 transactions.
25.46 oop
10.37 in rebates
84.45 in savings (total retail value $109.91) That is an 86% savings after rebates! ! !!
10.00 in RR
Total spent $15.09 Next time I will have the RR to spend, even more savings to come! !
(on a side note, we didn't buy the calculator today... the kids were "helping" me this afternoon. )
Last night I was looking around on cashcrate.com and discovered how to get $5 in free postage and get paid $8 to sign up and get it! So my stamp for the rebate was free!
