This is more like it

I must say.

I went to Walgreen's to score a deal or two. I decided to do a couple of transactions to see how low I could go.
My first transaction:
2 Twizzler's, on sale for 2 for $3. I used two 50 cent off coupons. I paid $2.18.
I got a $1 register reward.

Second transaction:
I bought two gallons of water for our next camping trip, 2 for $1.50
Two Skintimate shaving creams, $4.49 each
Two Milky Ways 49 cents each
and two Junior caramels, on clearance for 77 cents (usually $1 or more)
I used one Walgreens coupon to save $2.50 off the shaving cream
and two Skintimate coupons of $1.50 each.
Paid $5.48 and saved $10.83.
And totally forgot about the register reward :-(

I was so happy with the shaving cream savings that I went back after dinner for a third transaction.
I didn't have any more $1.50 coupons for the shaving cream, but I had a number of $1 off coupons. So I bought 4 more shaving creams, used the $2.50 Walgreens coupon (they have the ad in the store, thank goodness), and 4 $1 off coupons. I almost couldn't use the register reward as I had to have another item, so I was forced to buy some M &M's for 49 cents. Forced, I say!
Spent $3.96 and saved $15.50.

All in all, I paid $11.64 for $40.90 worth of product, or 72% savings. And I am now stocked up on shaving cream. Yay!
