Vocation of Motherhood: Look what 65.67 Can Get You!

September 13, 2008

No, not the kitchen, the stuff on the counter LOL.

Made a stop today at Walgreens and Target and got some great deals (some of them are in the background and you can't see them very well, sorry). Here's what I got:

Walgreens:

3 Robitussin @ 3.99 ea.
Used 3 $3.00 off coupons (printable from website)
.99 ea
2.97 total!

When you buy 3 Robitussin, you get 10.00 in Register Rewards back, so I got basically received 10.00 back.

I did this twice, so I got 20.00 in RR to use on my next tranasction. I spent 5.94 total for 6 bottles!

Then on my third transaction, I got:

2 Dove chocolate bars
2 bottles Visine FREE
2 bottles Sunsilk
3 packs Duracell batteries
Brillo pads
Crest toothpaste FREE
2 Boxes Foil
Two things of make-up (for my mom, don't remember the brand)
Children's tylenol
2 Chex Mix FREE
Walgreens Reusable Shopping Bag (had to buy this in order to use all my coupons)
Toilet Paper

Used 10.00 off of 40.00 or more coupon (valid only yesterday and today specifically at Walgreens)
Used my two 10.00 gift certificates from the Robitussin purchases above
Used all my coupons (you can stack Walgreens coupons with a manufacturer coupon).

I paid $2.00 out of pocket for ALL of this at Walgreens!! No kidding!

Then at Target went through and bought:

4 Boxes Kashi cereal
2 Boxes Luvs diapers

Paid 26.00 (after coupons) and received back 10.00 in gift cards for my next purchase, which was:

4 Clean and Clear trial size facial wash (I love this stuff!) FREE
Classico pesto sauce FREE
Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce FREE
4 Huggies Clean Team Wipes
Schick Razor trial size FREE
14 Barilla 1 lb. box pastas (our favorite pasta, on clearance!!)
Tyson Chicken Strips 28 oz. bag
2 Motts applesauce
2 7th Generation Dish liquid
2 Electrosol boxes
Clorox (gotta buy it once in while!)
3 Campell's soups (for my hubby at work)
Biz Color Bleach
Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner
Kleenex
Bath sponge (a splurge!)

After coupons and my 10.00 in gift certificates from the prior transaction, the total was 35.52.

My mom sort of added it up in her head, and we figured out it would be 202.00+ if I hadn't used any coupons. Instead, it was 69.46 (actually it is 65.67 because I'm getting one rebate back from Walgreens for 3.79 + 10% (.37).

Many thanks to Money Saving Mom and A Full Cup Coupon Website!
