Walgreen's Trip

Well, I think that I have convinced myself that I am not ready to undertake doing multiple transactions...atleast when I have a child with me! I had Noah today, and attempted 3 transactions. In my head and on paper for all 3 transactions it should have been something like $25-$30. Mostly everything I got either had a RR attached to it, or a MIR. Um..yeah...it wasn't! Okay though. I'm still a newbie, and I'm still in the learning process. I still saved a lot, and in the end that it what I was going for anyway.

Instead of showing you all of my transactions, I am going to just list all the items, with my grand total. It is actually a total of 4 transactions (3 in one trip, and one in another).

Lypsyl. Now, I'm not certain on the amt of this one because it is an add on online. It says $1.99, but then beside the box to claim rebate it says $3.99. So, I am hoping this will be FAR.

Now, before I go disclosing the amount OOP, I must confess Noah distracted me with the crazy speaking, dancing, Halloween thingys that they have displayed at the register. I seriously despise those things, but Noah loves to annoy me with them. That or he just likes them. Nonetheless, I messed up transaction #2 and #3. And, on my second trip the checkout woman wouldn't let me use my $8 RR (even trying fillers) so my OOP was $8 more than t should have been. Anyway...my OOP is WAY TOO HIGH!!!!!!

OOP: $77.67

RR Left: $31

MIR: $8.79 (this is assuming the lypsyl is FAR and including the 10%)

41 items $1.89 an item.

51% savings (not including RR left and MIR) with MIR 57%. This is obviously not my best deal ever...but hopefully with all these RR accumulated my next deals will be even better!! Guess I will just stick to one transaction when I have children with me! :)
