I was also able to get to Walgreens to get my medicine cabinet stocked since cold and flu season is upon us.  With all our sickness last week, we went through a bunch of it so I needed to restock and thankfully Walgreens had some great sales.

I had no register rewards to start with, did 3 separate transactions, spent a total of about $11.00 our of pocket and still have $11.00 in register rewards to spend later.

I bought the Zarbees and Nyquil in the first transaction, then used that $6.00 RR from the Zarbees to purchase the Advil, 3 powdered sugar ($.59 with in ad coupon) and the Ghirardelli chocolate ($1.00 with coupon in November coupon booklet).  My last transaction was the last Zarbees on its own.  These sales end tonight so make sure and get them while they last!

I finally got a chance to do a little shopping tonight and was able to score some great deals!  I picked up some packs of gummy bears for treats and stockings to get my totals up enough to use my ECB’s. 

I used my card and my husbands starting with $30.00 in ECB’s.  I spent $2.47 out of my pocket and came home with $22.00 new ECB’s making my actual amount spent $10.47 for everything pictured.  By rolling my rewards though, I was able to keep my actual amount out of pocket much lower.
