Pinching Pennies on Patriots Day!


I scanned my card this evening at CVS and got a $5 off  $15 Tressemme hair products CRT and a $10 off $50 CRT.  Yay!  I love the coupon fairies that blessed me with fun CRTs!!!  Here is what I did with them:

Walgreens Transaction 2

3 Reach Floss - $5.97
3 Chocolate Eggs - $.36
-3 $1.00 MQ (Reach)
-2 $1.00 MQ (Physicians Formula)
-$3.00 Weekly IVC Store Q (Reach)
-$2.00 RR
-$2.00 RR
-$3.00 RR

Total Before Qs:  $19.51
Total After Qs:  $4.72, paid for with monthly rebate gift card so $0 OOP!  Yippee!  

That finishes off all of the rebates that I plan to get for the month from Walgreens.  I spent all of the money on the card and will get it all back plus 10% so it is yet again another MM for me!  I didn't do as well as I would've on the Physicians Formula powder because I was hoping for a little overage from the Reach, but the shelves were cleared of the toothbrushes so I couldn't use my $3/2 MQ.  Oh well.  Free floss is still good.  It feels pretty good to look back on my last several weeks and see $0 OOP each and every time from Walgreens because of that blessed gift card.  I love it!!!  TTFN!  

P.S.  I am tired and going to bed, but I will post the pictures I took tomorrow.  Sorry to leave you hanging!

I'm so sad. There was a sign at my local Wags that this is the last month of easy saver rebate books. Just when I was starting to figure things out!!! But, way to go for you! You really are very good at this coupon stuff!

I'm so sad too, Bonnie!!! I haven't seen any signs or anything yet but the rebate book is really what makes Walgreens worth it for me. Do you think that perhaps they will still offer rebates but advertise them in the weekly flyer? One can hope!
