So of course I am still shopping, even if the posty posty is a little lax these days.  Through the summer, I was doing more shopping and deek-seeking than I am now, but I’m still going at least to Walgreens once or twice a week.  I went on Sunday morning this week to get a monitor–just one since my ordered coupons had not arrived yet–and my favorite beauty advisor had brought me not one but TWO monitor coupons. :)  I took pictures of that trip, too, but then I left a sippy cup of milk in my purse and didn’t find it until today, so my receipts are so sour that I can’t stand the thought of getting them within smelling distance to break it down.

Anyway!

I hit two different stores today, for a total of six transactions.  Wednesday is the day my stores get their truck now, so I actually found monitors in all stores.  The shock!  I even left some on the shelf!

Total OOP: $15.26 (2.79, 3.35, 2.29, 1.54, 1.54, 3.75) 
RR Used: $14 (3, 3, 4, 4)
Total Spent: $29.26
RR Received: $84
Total Profit: $54.74

I think that is a personal record.

Highlights on how I did it: My stores allow the use of the 5/25 coupon (located in this week’s ad) before manufacturer’s coupons.  The monitor is $14.99, so I just need $10.01 to hit that $25 limit.  The Almay is $9.99 and produces a $10 RR, so one lovely transaction was monitor + Almay + $.20 pudding. The Dulcolax is free after coupon (located on product) and RR, supplying $7 towards that limit.  The Lubriderm was a MM–buy three (3.79) at a time, using $1 coupons in the Diabetes magazine found free near the pharmacy and any manufacturer’s coupons–I had four $2 coupons–and then you get $8 back.  I made $5.63 on the first transaction and $1.63 the second. (Note that if you need lotion, it’s just $.37 for three of them even without any extra coupons!)  So each transaction was as close to $25 as possible, and then the monitors produced $5 RRs each.  So much fun!

What do you do with all this stuff?
I bought the juice for M, because at $.99 each (sale minus Walgreens coupon from a store booklet) it is a bargain.  I shall do holiday baking with the chocolate chips.  The makeup, lotion and Dulcolax will probably be put in the yard sale–I am approximately as pale-skinned as the Lubriderm bottles and you can tell from a glance that those colors are not for me. :)  Evelyn adores that dried pineapple.  The monitors… well, there are ten strips in each box.  I will either give them to my mom, sell the boxes in the yard sale, or possibly just sell the strips on eBay.  Doesn’t really matter, as they’re paying me to bring the stuff home.
