Two Days in a Row?!?!?

You mean I am posting two days in a row?  Holy cow, pigs must be flying tonight.  LOL.

I had to share what we got at Walgreens today.  I was tempted to skip church to go shopping, but I was a good girl and went after.  I even allowed the family to have lunch before we went shopping!

The pics aren't very good, sorry.  I guess I should have split them up into smaller groups of things.  

We got 9 boxes of Ecotrin with a raincheck that was going to expire tonight.  We'll add those to 5 others we got and give them all to a friend whose church is going to Haiti on a mission trip and they are looking for more of these.  They were free.

8 packs of Cottonelle toilet paper, 12 rolls per pack.  With all the register rewards we had, we only spent $1.33 on each pack!  Woohoo!  We are set for a while now.   :)




11 folders for 11¢ each.  These were "fillers" and will be used by all the college students in our home.  


5 packs of glue sticks for my business.  12 packs of Crayola Washable Markers.  These we rocked register rewards on with the hair clips.  (That means that we bought one pack of markers, got the $2 register rewards, then bought the hair clips with those rewards, got $2 more in rewards and back and forth and  back and forth)

 A bottle of Dawn dishsoap for 50¢.  12 packs of aformentioned hair clips, 6 packs (pic only shows 4...dd took 2 to work with her already) of dry erase markers.

 We also got 4 bottles of Head and Shoulders and 6 bottles of Pantene.

And 4 boxes of cereal.














Now the big question is: How much did we spend?  We started out with the register rewards we had from last night: $33 in those.  Then we added $12 cash.  That's it.  And we walked out with $8 in register rewards, too!  I really like walking away with as few as possible, so I don't have to worry about them expiring.

Today was a great shopping day!

Hiatus

I think I'm done with my hiatus now.   :)
I took the month of July off from couponing to work on my daughter's graduation open house.  Yes, we didn't have it til July.  But now that's done.  We have returned our too many purchases (thankfully, I kept the receipts!) and have the house sorta kinda back in order.  Ok, so not so much, but that isn't what this blog is about.  LOL

Anyway, I wanted to share with you my purchases this week.
Older daughter and I went to Walgreens today.  We walked in with $7 cash and a $7 gift card.  We walked out with all this

and $21 in Register Rewards!  How cool is that?!?!?  I am so impressed with myself.  Especially after taking some time off from the bargains.  I was concerned it might take me longer to get back into the swing of it.  Nope!

Then we went to WalMart and got these 4 items for -12¢.  We had to buy a candy bar (had a coupon for that too) to get the 12¢, but hey!  It works!


The bad thing about going to Walgreens on Saturdays is that a lot is picked over.  But that's ok, the toothbrushes are going to Operation Christmas Child.  What we get, we get.  It's all good.


PS, daughter just called.  She picked up more toothpaste for 25¢ a box at other Walgreens.  Yes, same thing as is pictured above.  Oh, and while we were getting floss at WalMart, we saw the 25¢ toothpaste for $3.14.  We are saving billions!


Oh, and I got my first coupon teaching job.  It will be Oct 6 in West Des Moines, IA.  Leave a comment if you want more information. 
Thanks for stopping by!
