Trans 7

This transaction was only made because I wanted to buy trash bags from the dollar store but at the end of the day I had $4 in RR’s and only change left in my truck so this was an excellent way to end my transactions.

Coupons:

• $4 RR from Trans 6

Total OOP = $0.23!!: No RR

All prices were listed before taxes (I spent about $5 altogether on taxes). I did Trans 1 & 2 on Wed. and 3-7 today by hitting the cosmetics counter twice, front register once, photo counter once, and a different Walgreen’s; in that order. Always remember to have only 1 manufacturer coupon per item, read the fine print of the coupon to see if it will attach to 1 or both to decide if you need a filler. Walgreen’s produced monthly coupon books, specialty coupon books, and ad coupons do not count as used coupons.

Total OOP = $26.34 for all 7 transactions!

Total Savings = $87.70 That’s 77% savings! Woohoo!!

Before I started using coupons I would have taken that same $26 and picked up generic toilet paper, shampoo and conditioner, trash bags, and the frozen foods. Those are things I would have bought without even looking at the prices. Now I spend that on name brands that I want plus so much more that I would have had to eventually buy anyway, although, they would have been generic as well! This was my best trip so far and I didn’t have any issues with my coupons. I even stood close to the front to sort out my transactions and had 2 cashiers and a manager ask to check me out. Good job, Walgreen’s. This is why I LOVE WAGS!
