Walgreens Trip

I am still fairly new to Walgreens.  It is a learning process and I hope to be able to lower my OOP as I get more adept.  I think it would be handy to get a calculator so that I can keep better track of my running totals.  Up to this point I have not rolled my RRs from one transaction to the next.  Today was my first experience doing multiple transactions back to back at the store.  I think it turned out okay.  Here's what I did:

I got snookered into purchasing the small notebooks for my kids sticker collections.  That was the best price that I could work out for them.   Had I stuck to my plan my OOP would have been $4.00 less than the $11.75 that it was.  Also, I kept sticking in a Nivea Lip Gloss to make sure my purchases were higher than my RR.  I think I would have been fine without them and my OOP would have been even less.  Oh well, live and learn.  I still think it was a pretty good Walgreens day too.  TTFN!  XOXO!
