I ended up doing 3 transactions, and one got all messed up because it didn't print a RR. This got me all in a funk when it came to transaction 3, so my OOP between all 3 transactions was a lot higher than anticipated. Plus, I went without being fully planned out. I just had a rough guess as to what I wanted, and the main deal I went for I couldn't do. So, without furthur ado....
Transaction #1
Straightener (I was in DIRE need of one of these!) $19.99
(2) Reach Toothbrushes $6
Coupons Used:BOGO Reach Toothbrushes
GC: $23.74
OOP: $1.32
Recieved: $5 (for Straightener), $6 (for TB), $5 (for spending $25)
Transaction #2
This is where things went nuts......
(2) Capri Sun $6
(3) Planters Peanuts $8.97 (this is where the problem is..they were suppossed be $3 each so that I could get the $5 RR. It took us forever to figure out that was what was not making the RR print. I pointed out that the ad said they were $3...the manager was dumb founded, so she just gave me a $5 RR from the drawer.)
Bald Guyz Wipes $4.99
Right Gaurd Professional $5.99
Coupons Used
$6 RR from Reach Toothbrushes
$5 RR from Straightener
$5 RR from spending $25
OOP: $10.17
RR Earned: $5 (from snacks) $5 (from spending $25)
MIR: $10.99 ($5 for Right Guard and $4.99 for wipes)
Transaction #3
I think at this point the manager was beyond confused. Which was okay...but she rubbed her confusion onto me...Not good!
Infusium $5.99
Infusium Conditioner Clearanced @ $4.49
Pantene Shampoo Clearanced @ $4.89
Pantene Conditioner Clearanced @ $4.89
(2) Reach Floss $6
Coupons Used
$1/2 Pantene
(2) $1 Reach Floss
I did not use my previous RR, which was the original plan, because the manager was convinced that it would not spit out any additional RR. I wish I would have just to show her that it would....but I had already consumed enough of her time, and my 3 year old was dying to go home, and we still had to clear things up from transaction #2. So....
OOP: $25.35
RR Earned: $8 (from shampoo), $6 (from Reach), and $5 (from spending $25)
Final Tally:
OOP: $36.84
RR still left: $29
MIR: $10.99
$3.15 PROFIT
Oh...and I forgot that for all 3 transactions I recieved a $10/25 coupon good at Fashion Bug. Hmm....I think I may see more shopping in my future!

I'm still so new at this, that this confused ME and I'm reading about it!! I did take advantage of the $5 RR (for spending $25) but I didn't get any great deals because I'm still new and I had to buy things I DESPERATELY needed...like baby wipes that we were completely out of and mucinex because I've had this cold for 3 weeks (none of which I've been able to get coupons for yet)!
Cathy-
Somtimes you just have to buy what you need...even w/o coupons! I'm getting ready to make another trip, and that is the case with some of the things I'm getting. Next week Walgreen's is doing the same thing with another mid week ad..I hope to have all of the details posted sometime tonight or tomorrow.
I have to admit, that all of this RR talk is making MY head spin! :)
