Walgreens, 3/31/11

I am pretty impressed with this trip to Walgreens trip. I bought $72.88 worth of product and spent $28, so 61.6% savings. But, to put this in a better perspective, if I had not had to purchase the Prevacid for hubby (which I ended up using manufacturer coupons and Walgreen coupons to get $6 off), I would have only spent $8.91 and had a savings of 82.5% on $53.79 in product.

For today only they had a coupon for 15% your entire purchase (20% off Walgreens products). The only thing that I wish I had focused on was getting one more of the travel items that were listed so that I could have gotten $3 Register Rewards back. On this trip I got $4 in Register Rewards and I actually got $4 back after the manager came over and realized I should have gotten $4 more Register Rewards based on the ad.

The best part of this is that hubby is learning to say great job each time. I know the savings isn't necessarily a big deal to him, but he is realizing how much I love it and feel even more accomplished.

So, this trip, I got:
