* Update* Scenario Ideas and Walgreens

So, after shopping at Walgreens, today, here are how my totals came out. Actually, much better than I estimated. I completed the 3 transactions below just as planned.

Here are the totals:
Total ticket (total savings + total paid)= $50.38
Total saved (with sale prices and coupons/RRs): $32.15 (64%)
Total paid: $18.23

Until next time...

I taught a coupon class Wednesday night, and it was sooo much fun! I know everyone who came is putting their shopping lists together and getting ready to hit the stores, Sunday! This week I will be shopping at Walgreens. I thought it might be helpful to post my scenario in advance this week.

*Remember* When shopping at Walgreens, you get register rewards (RR's), and you must have the same number of items as you do coupons. RR's count as coupons.

Walgreens 7/17-7/23

Transaction #1

1 32oz Drano $3.50
1 Pledge Spray 9.7-12.5 oz $3.50
1 Schick Disposable Xtreme 3, 4pk $5.99

Use:
$3.00 Schick Xtreme 3 printable coupon

Total due (w/tax): $10.90
Get back RR's: $3.00 ($1, $2)

Transaction #2

2 Dove Men+Care Soap 6pk $6 each
1 Penway 2 pocket folder $.09

Use:
$4.00 Dove Men+Care coupon RP 6/26
$1.00 RR
$2.00 RR

Total due (w/tax): $5.94
Get back RR's: $4.00

Transaction #3

2 Chex Mix 5.5-8.75 oz $1.50 each
1 Pure honey 12oz $2.50 w/ in ad coupon (coupon will come in sale paper on Sunday, if you don't get the paper, yet.. grab the ad when you walk in the door, and tear the coupon out while in the store.)

Use:
.50/2 Chex Mix Reg SS 6/12
$4.00 RR's

Total due (w/tax): $1.39

Total for all transactions: $18.27

In the end, this will be probably be a 40-45% savings trip. Ideally, we want our trips to save us 50-60%. However, in reality, I am getting things I need like Drano, Pledge, and honey and stocking up on things like soap and razors. The important thing is that you get the items your family needs when they are on sale.

Until next time...
