Walgreens & Target Trip - Profit $30.04

Wow I totally scored at Walgreens today – I am SO excited!

I had some RRs expiring today, so I thought I’d run by and do a couple transactions so I could roll over my RRs. But I ended up doing WAY more than expected. All thanks to 2 wonderful cashiers WHO ARE AWESOME!!

Transaction #1
2 small bags of chips @ $.35/ea (we ate these before I could take a picture)
2 Theraflu @ $5.00/ea ($3.00 RR wyb 2)
2 travel Pantene @ $1.29/ea ($2.00 wyb 2) – travel size is not excluded from this deal!
1 Dulcolax @ $7.00 ($4.00 RR wyb 1)
1 Sunflower Seeds @ $1.50 (I was going to use 2 RRs, BUT this was supposed to be $1.99, so that threw off my math. I didn’t want to deal with it, so I just saved the other RR and paid a little more OOP)

Coupons Used:
-(2) $2.00 Theraflu printables
-$2.00 WAGS Theraflu coupon (took off $4.00)
-$1/2 Pantene (coupon did not exclude travel size)

Before I did these transactions, 1 of the cashiers who was on her lunch break did an Almay makeup transaction. All week the Almay makeup is “buy 1, get 1 50% off. Now, I had heard and read that there was a glitch in the programming, and the makeup was actually ringing up “buy 1, get 1 FREE.” I thought “surely corporate would have this fixed by Thursday.” So I didn’t even bother worrying about doing this deal. Well, after I saw the cashier do it, I asked about it, and she said that they were still ringing up B1G1FREE!! So…I decided to partake! AND…they had MFQs for me to use! Hehe

Here’s how it went:
Transaction #3:
4 Almay Mascara @ $6.99 each
2 Almay Pure Blends Foundation @ $9.99 each

-2 B1G1Free Mascara @ $6.99 each (the register automatically took these off)
-1 B1G1Free Foundation @ $9.99
-Used (6) $1.00 MFQs
-$4.00 Almay 1 coat Mascara WAGS coupon (found at front of store – took off $16.00)

Total OOP - $1.05
Got back - $10.00 RR
Total Profit - $8.95

I was SO excited about all this (essentially) FREE makeup + profit! So I called my mom, told her and asked her if she wanted me to get her some. And of course, she said YESSssssssssssss!!! Therefore…transaction #4 –

I asked the cashier if she had anymore MFQs for me to use, and she only had 3. Bummer. BUT – I was doing some calculations, AND with the B1G1Free sale, and the $4.00 WAGS coupon for EACH mascara purchased, it’s like I would get -$.50 for each mascara purchased. So to compensate for the lack of MFQs, I just purchased more mascara.

Transaction #4:
6 Almay Mascara @ $6.99 each
2 Almay Pure Blends Foundation @ $9.99 each

-3 B1G1Free Mascara @ $6.99 each (the register automatically took these off)
-1 B1G1Free Foundation @ $9.99
-Used (3) $1.00 MFQs
-$4.00 Almay 1 coat Mascara WAGS coupon (found at front of store – took off $24.00)

Total OOP - $1.04
Got back - $10.00 RR
Total Profit - $8.96
