Shop With Me Saturday

My trips to Walgreens did not pan out the way I had planned but I can't complain.  I got all this for under $10

I ended up doing 3 transactions which I didn't plan and I really don't like to do unless I have to.  I always seem to have someone impatient behind me who starts sighing or rolling their eyes when I start on another transaction or I end up forgetting/misplacing coupons.  Regardless my first transaction was as follows

Huggies wipes $2.49
  used $1 Walgreens coupon from the July coupon book
  and I used a $0.50 Hggies wipes manufacture coupon
Irish Spring Deodorant 2/$6
   buy 2 receive $4 register rewards
   use 2 $1 manufacture coupons
3 Muskateer Candy Bars-bought 2 @ $0.49 each
   used $0.50 off 2 3 muskateer candy bars
total a little over $6 after taxes and received $4 register rewards
 
I had planned on using register rewards from a previous purchase but didn't realize I had a coupon for every item I bought.  That is one thing to remember if you are shopping at Walgreens, their register rewards act as a manufacture coupon so you have to have more items than you have coupons, otherwise your rewards won't scan.  This confused me when I first started couponing because Rite Aid and CVS rewards are used like cash.

Transaction #2
2-12 roll packages Cottonelle toilet paper $5.00each
  buy 2 receive $3.50 register rewards
total a little over $10 after taxes.  I used $4 register rewards from Transaction #1 and a $2 register reward from a previous purchase and only ended up spending pennies over $2 out of pocket and received 3.50 register rewards

Transaction #3
3 bags Brach's candy $1.89 each
   used 2-$0.50 manufacture coupon
Index card case $0.39
Penway mini notebook $0.49
total after taxes a little over $6.00.  I used $3.50 register rewards from transaction #2 and $2 register rewards from a previous purchase and ended up spending $0.69 out of pocket.


 Rite Aid $2.00 out of pocket
Herbal Essence styler and shampoo 2/$5
  used $3 off any Herbal Essence styler when you buy any Herbal Essence product.
  and used $1 off any Herbal Essence shampoo/conditioner
Clean and Clear Face Wash 6.49
