Note: I had some register rewards that I needed to use up before they expired, so that's why my total "cost" was higher this week (although out of pocket was still very low.) There weren't a lot of good register reward deals this week that I could "roll" my old RR's into so I ended up just getting some random things, like notebooks, tape, & cereal, etc. that we could use.

The Sure deodorant were completely free - they were on sale with a Walgreens coupon for $1.50 each and I had $1.50 coupons = FREE.

The Stride gum was completely free - they were on sale for 2/$2. I had Buy One Get One Free manufacturer's coupons, which brought the cost down to 50 cents each and then I used a Walgreens $1 off 2 coupon to get them for free. Free gum is always nice!

Note: $22 out of pocket is unusual & a lot for me to spend at Walgreens. I had pre-ordered the vitamins, as they were free ($5, get $5 register rewards back and I had coupons, so I knew I would make an automatic profit. Plus, we will use them.) So I ordered these through the manager and then found out that another item I had planned on buying last week - and earning register rewards with - was completely sold out. As a result, I was not able to have as many register rewards on hand going into this week as I had thought. That's why I spent more out of pocket than usual. It was still well worth it, as I made a profit in register rewards.

FAQ: Why are you always buying little things, like candy or kids' cups or other various small "junk" items?

Walgreens will only accept as many coupons as items. Register Rewards are counted as coupons. Therefore if I wanted to purchase 4 items and use 4 manufacturer coupons, plus use 2 Register Rewards (a total of "6 coupons" according to the Walgreens registers), I would have to buy the 4 items plus 2 more items. Of course, you want to find something really cheap as the extra or "filler" items (as we call them) so that's why I end up purchasing Easter cups or clearance Easter candy.

I admit it can be a pain and I'd prefer it if Register Rewards didn't count towards the item/coupon count, but those are the rules of the "game." And I still save so much/get so many things for free that this very minor inconvenience is worth it, and really not so bad, once you get used to it.
