I did really well at Walgreens this morning. I spent $6.45 and saved $44.57. We needed toilet paper and when I have to buy it I like to see how much I can get for the $5 I already plan on spending on a needed item. However, this wasn’t one of those easy savings days, this morning I really had to work for it. I’m a little bit sick which probably really slowed me down. I did 5 transactions one or two at a time then reevaluated the coupons I had for the next transaction so that I could save the most. We all know Walgreens limits the number of manufacture coupons (including their register rewards) to one per item in your transaction so you usually need a filler item such as the candle .20¢, hand cream .49¢, or candy .25¢. I also used the dawn .49¢ after coupons and Canned oranges .69¢ after coupons as filler items because I wanted to buy them anyway.

(2) Buy 2 Triaminic Kids Pain Reliever, on sale 2/$10
Use two $3/1 Triaminic Fever Reducer Pain Reliever manufacturer coupon, 12/4 SS
and use the $1/1 Triaminic coupon in the Walgreens January coupon book (Note- I was able to use this coupon for $1 off but it is really for the 2 pack Triaminic so it will beep and will not subtract the $2 off that a lot of couponing sites are claiming it will)
Price after coupons- $3 and receive $5 RR

(2) Madam Mandarin Orange, 11 oz, 59¢ w/in-ad coupon
Price after coupons- $.59 each

(2) Real Soft Bathroom Tissue, 12 double rolls, or Tuf Paper Towels, 8 rolls, 2 for $8 w/in-ad coupon
Price after coupons- $4 each

(2) $2 RR WYB Muscletech Smart Protein Bar, 2.2 oz, at $1.99
Price- $1.99 each and receive $2 RR each

(2) Dawn Dish Soap .99 w/ in ad coupon
– Used .50 off Dawn coupon from the 1/1 PG
Price after coupons- $.49 each

(1) $4 RR WYB Gillette Venus or Fusion ProGlide Razor System at $9.99
-$5 off Gillette Fusion ProGlide razor, PG 1/01
Price after coupons- $5 and receive $4 RR
Note- This came with a free shave gel

Filler items-
Candle .20¢
Hand cream .49¢
Candy .25¢

The reason I did 5 transactions was because I continued to use the register rewards from each transaction towards my next transaction to keep my price as low as possible. This is time consuming because you have to do the math and use filler items.

Spent $6.45
