Took two trips to drugstores today. CVS was all out of the Right Guard Xtreme APDEO for $.50, so I went to Walgreens instead.
Used $1 ECB at CVS to get some candy for the girls.
Walgreens was much better. Here are the highlights:
Hanes underwear BOGO $11.99 - $1 peelies on the package = $5.49 each
Right Guard Xtreme APDEO $3 - $1/2 in store coupon book - $2 (3/3 RP, and redplum.com) = $.50 each
2 Oral-B toothbrushes reg. $5.49 on sale $2.99 - $1 (March P&G) = paid $1.99, got $1.50 RR back
(Should have done these in two transactions to get 2 RR, d'oh!)
-$10 RR
-$4 RR
Total coupons scanned today: $25
Total saved this year with paper coupons: $318.28
This number is not reflective of savings as a result of sales, e-coupons, or
gift cards.
Total spent this year to get coupons (printer ink, paper, and newspapers): $46.78

"Couponing" Purchases
Ok, folks. You've waited for it and now it's finally here! I finally have to pay for all my printing habits! TODAY I BOUGHT INK. :o !!!!!!!!!
Here's the damage at Office Depot (yay rewards!):
Black ink double $31.99
Paid: $34.63
I also walked over to CVS to get a couple newspapers:
2 Newspapers, $3 each = $6
-$4 EB
$2 spent even, got $1 EB for green bag tag
Learned that Office Depot will give you $2 in Rewards for every empty ink cartridge you bring them, with a limit of 10 per month. That's $20/mos. that you'd just throw away otherwise! You have to sign up for their rewards program and they send you a quarterly coupon to print with your total rewards amount. I got 10% from the ink I bought, and whatever else I accumulate this quarter. Love using those on printer ink! ;)
Total saved this year with paper coupons: $263.28

Sprouts is having a great BOGO sale right now, check it out! If you have an account with afullcup.com, I put together all the deals with coupons there, and I just don't want to do it here. :P

2 Up & Up ibuprofen $.97 - $1.50/2 (e-coupon on my phone they text me)= $.23 each!
4 Up & Up ibuprofen $.97 - $1/2 (coupons.target.com) = $.47 each!
2 Up & Up Antiacid tablets berry and tropical $1.93 - $1.50 (coupons.target.com) = $.43
Leapfrog Puppy toy $19.99 - $5 (coupons.com) - $5 (coupons.target.com) = $9.99
-$10 in gift cards
-$.10 for using 2 reusable bags (do this every time!)
Before coupons/gift cards: $44.78
Amount paid: $11.47
Coupon savings: $21.60
Total saved this year with paper coupons: $259.28
This number is not reflective of savings as a result of sales, e-coupons, or gift cards.

Today's Walgreens trip
Walgreen's has some great deals this week! 4 things for free after Register Rewards (I only wanted 2 of them), and a great deal on cereal and gum. I had $22 on my rebates card (rebate from the probiotic finally went through). Here's what I got:
Natrol Melatonin 100 ct. $4, get $4 RR
Arctic Naturals Daily Omega-3 60 ct. $10, get $10 RR

Got back $10 and $4 RR
Second transaction:
2 Huggies snug and dry $8.99 - $3 here = $5.99, buy 2 and get 2,000 points! (1,000 is the equivalent of $1, but I'm saving mine up to 40,000 to get the highest discount)
Pepperidge Farm goldfish crackers $2.49 (no sale - just bc I had the girls with me :)
2 ID gum spearmint $1.49 - BOGO up to $1 = $.74 each (online it said the price was $.99 but I really didn't care), got 200 points
-(3) $1.50 RR from previous transactions

Walgreen's Kleenex Extraordinare!
SO... This was a one day only deal. There is a BOGO sale on Kleenex starting today... There is a coupon in the weekly ad that ends today (you can get them in the front of the store) that make each box $.99 (they are reg. $2.49). Buy 6 and you get $1.50 RR!
There are also $.50/3 coupons in the 2/10 SS. If you put them all together... 6 boxes for $.49!
I only had one coupon, though, so I got 6 boxes for $.99, still a great deal.
It was so great, that I went back and got 12 more with no coupons... Pay $5.94 OOP and get back $3 RR for a grand total of $.25 a box! Or you could look at it that I got them for $.49 a box OOP and got $3 back to spend on my next trip. Either are valid (I actually like the latter way better because it's not as misleading. You'll see the first method of "pricing" on a lot of couponing websites and I believe it is very misleading, especially for people on a tight budget!)
