Walgreen's Shopping

Did my usual early morning shopping at Walgreen's! CVS sales are kind of a dud for me, so I'm done for the day. Here's what I bought:

8 Kleenex, .79 with in-ad coupon. Used two .50/3 from the 10/3 SS and two B3G1 Free from the 11/7 SS.

5 Tic-Tacs, .99 with in-ad coupon. Used five .75/1 from the 10/3 RP.

1 Colgate Clinical Toothpaste, $3.49. Used $1/1 printable.

1 Huggies Little Movers, $8.99. Used $2/1 from the 11/14 SS.

Total cost after coupons was $16.26. Received $3 RR for the Kleenex, $2 Jingle Cash for the Diapers and $2.50 Jingle Cash for the toothpaste. Net cost $8.76 (of which $1.84 was tax!).

The cashier took off .79 for each of my Kleenex that were free, since that's what I was paying with the in-ad coupon. With coupons and sales, it worked out to .74/8 boxes, or only 9 cents each! It can matter which order you hand over the coupons....if I had handed over the B3G1 first, the cashier could have taken off $1.39 for each one (the pre-sale price). Then my cost would have been $2.54 with $3 back and this would have been a money maker. But the .79 is what I'm actually paying for the Kleenex, so I told the cashier up-front that I was going to be using that coupon ☺
