Walgreens
This is a complicated transaction with many coupons, sales, register rewards and balance reward points. I am not going to write it all out. I usually do smaller transactions so I call roll over my register rewards and balance points. I did not do that this time. I made 2 transactions the above pic shows both combined. Because I didn't make smaller transactions, I spent more out of pocket than I would have liked to but I will not be going to town enough times this week to do enough of them so I had to make this work.

Total before sales, coupons, register rewards and balance points: $140.16
Final total: $36.70
Savings of: $103.46
