Walgreens Results: Nice haul for 72 cents


To follow up on the Walgreens deals I was planning yesterday: I couldn't wait to get my free candy bars, so yesterday I ran out and picked up my candy bars: 10 for only 17 cents!! To get the rest of the items I hit the stores again today - my local one on the way to work for 1 transaction, then another on my way home after work for 2 more quick transactions.
Transaction 1
(2) Hunt's Tomato Sauce (39 cents each w/ In-Ad coup - .75/2 coupon = 3 cents total)
(4) Scotch Bubble Mailers (39 cents on sale - 3 x .50/1 coupons = 6 cents total)
(2) Reynolds Wrap Aluminum Foil (99 cents each - 2 x 1/1 coupons = negative 2 cents total)

Tax = .19
Total OOP = $0.26

Transaction 2 (basically the same as #1, but without the Tomato sauce)
(4) Scotch Bubble Mailers (39 cents on sale - 3 x .50/1 coupons = 6 cents total)
(2) Reynolds Wrap Aluminum Foil (99 cents each - 2 x 1/1 coupons = negative 2 cents total)

Tax = .19
Total OOP = $0.23

Transaction 3 (exactly the same as #2)
(4) Scotch Bubble Mailers (39 cents on sale - 3 x .50/1 coupons = 6 cents total)
(2) Reynolds Wrap Aluminum Foil (99 cents each - 2 x 1/1 coupons = negative 2 cents total)

Tax = .19
Total OOP = $0.23


Total of all 3 transaction = 72 cents !

Now I have a plenty of bubble envelopes to ship out ebay items in, and some tomato sauce and aluminum foil to donate.

Funny side story, when I was a teenager I started an aluminum foil ball - it eventually was bigger than a basketball, though much more oblong... imagine a giant potato wrapped in foil, that's basically what it looked like. Buying the aluminum foil today got me thinking, "How big could I have made that if I knew I could get aluminum foil for free at Walgreens!" haha, I'm sure Mrs. Deals is glad that I don't have any current ambitions to find out :)
