This was an extreme week at Walgreens for me. They were running sales on things that I really wanted and needed and also on some thing I know I can turn around and sell. I also made bigger purchases than I normally do in a single transaction. I did this because I really wanted to make sure I got as many of these items as I could in the week they were running the sale. Our store is a small one so more often than not, they run out of the item I want within a few days of the sale start date.
I have been so unorganized at home lately and I really wanted to blog each transaction right after I made them. However, nothing in my life seems to ever work out the way it's supposed to, no matter how well I plan it all out. So now that the week is over, I have a whole load of info to have to post at once. I also lost a receipt. I also didn't price check the reg. retail prices. I will give a round about price as best I can. I am so annoyed with myself right now lol So i am going to do my best to lay it all out minus the fine details. I am really working on getting my shit together and finding/making the time to blog more often. If anyone has any questions on further details, feel free to ask. I added the receipts this time so you could see the break down.
TRANSACTION #1
I started the week with $2 in RR (register rewards)
Bluscience on sale $10 with $10 RR (reg price about $25)
On the go drink mix on sale $8 with $8 RR (reg price about $16 I think)
Total Retail $ $41.98
Total sale price $19.22
Used $2 RR
Paid $17.22
Got back $18 RR (10 and 8)
TRANSACTION #2
Act on sale 2/$8 with $2 RR back (reg. about $5 each)
Ultimate Flora on sale $10 with $10 RR (reg. price $24.99)
Walgreens bags on sale $1.19 (must use in ad coupon) (reg. about $2.05 each)
Note: I love the quality of wags bags. I buy them as filler items even though I could just buy something for 10 cents and bring down my cost. Wags runs this same sale on bags ALL the time and I stock up every time.
Wags only lets you use 1 coupon per item (RR is considered a coupon) so if you had 4 RR's and wanted to buy only 2 items but use all your RR's, you need to buy filler items. If you have 4 coupons you need to purchase 4 items.
Another note: The ultimate flora rang up reg price but they refunded me. My prices below will be different from what the receipt says.

NOTE: This was one of my larger transactions. If you go with fewer items at a time using as many RR's as you can, your out of pocket prices will be so much lower. I had to do this because the week was almost over so it was my last chance to stock up on these needed items.

After all was said and done this week I spent $105.95 and got back the $22 RR shown in above picture
That's like paying $83.95 for $414.27 worth of stuff.
The $22 RR will be rolled over in this weeks sales. Unfortunately, there aren't as many items on sale this week that I need or want.
Also note that most of the items I bought were needed items. Household, vitamins/supplements, beauty supplies, food, hair dryer that was needed to replace mine (it just broke) and a FEW goodies.
FYI I never heard of those Belvita breakfast biscuits. They are really really good. Everyone is my house loved them. This is the kind of thing I love about Wags and CVS. I get to try new things for a fraction of the price.
