Walgreens Trip 11/19 - Profit $7.23

So I went to Walgreens today for several reasons:
1) I have a big break in my day on Thursdays, so I like to use my time wisely.
2) I had $29 in RR expiring, so I needed to use those up.
3) I haven't been to Walgreens yet this week.
4) I didn't bring my lunch & I didn't want to spend any money OOP for it.
(it's hard to rationalize eating at Subway for $6, when I can cook dinner for 2 for less than $2.00)

Nothing in the ad really interested me this week, however I didn't really feel like rolling the RRs. There were some good medicine deals, but I just didn't feel like getting $30 worth of medicine, so I got some things that I wanted or needed, and some things that yielded another RR. I had to get a little creative...

It took me a while to get all my transactions figured out. In fact, I went through the store not really knowing what I was going to get, so I just threw some stuff in my cart, wrote down the price and tried to figure out how I could use my RRs and still spend very little OOP. I went to go check out, did 2 transactions, did more shopping, came back and did 2 more transactions. I needed to break it up so I could figure out my math correctly.

Here's what I came up with:
