So Walgreens was full of excitement this week! Weds and Thurs they had the special spend $25 get $5 back. And then Thurs & Fri there was a coupon for 15% off for "friends and family." I got the coupon from being a fan of theirs on facebook. Walgreens also released new coupons that we could get online and they can be "stacked" with manufacturer coupons. Stacked means you can use them both. They trick is to always hand over the manufacturer coupons first, then hand over the Walgreens coupons. I am going to change the way I list my stuff. Next to the item I am going to use this format (regular price/discounted price/Man Q/Wags Q/RR/Mail in Rebate=total price).
Ok, so I started the week off with $25 in RR.
4 Reisen Candy, 6 oz bag (2.29/1.15=1.15ea)
6 Reisen Candy, 6oz bag (2.29/.98=.98ea)
3 Ducolax balance (6.99/3.00MQ/4.00RR/5.00MIR=Free + 5.00 Moneymaker ea)
2 Complete Eye solution (7.99/8RR=Free)
Snickers bar (.89/.50WAGQ=.39)
4 boxes Jello (1.00/.25MFRQ/.61WAGQ=.14ea)
2 Ziploc Bags (3.29/.50MFRQ/1.30WAGQ=1.49 ea) (Plus, this qualifies me for another Johnson rebate for $5, so this is a moneymaker)
3 Jergens soap, 8pk (2.69/.70WAGQ=1.99ea)

1 Walgreens Face Wash (2.99/2.39(20%))
Keep in mind, I also earned several $5 RR for spending over $25.
So.... breakdown of costs.....
Total Out of Pocket - 41.54
RR used - 7
RR left - 18
MIR submitted; Ducolax $15, SC Johnson $5
Total cost - 10.54!!!!!
