Great time at Walgreen's & Jewel tonight!

I ran out to Walgreen's & Jewel tonight to get a few things. First at Wags, I wanted to get some of the free items that I would make money makers! Here's what I picked up:
1 pack of Dentek floss picks - $1.99 and used the coupon from 10/11SS and made it a $.51 MM after the $2.00 RR.
2 Diet Coke, 1 Coke, 1 Sprite 2 ltrs. - 4/$5 - received $2 RR
1 Goody headband - $2.00 - received $2 RR - FREE
1 Complete saline solution - $7.99 - used $1 coupon from 10/25RP - $1.01 MM after the $8 RR
2 Biore pore cleaning strips - $7.49 each - they are on sale Buy One get One 50% off so the register deducted $3.75 and I used 2 - $1 coupons from 10/11SS so $9.23 -- not the best deal but we needed them.

I went to the other Walgreen's in town to see if they had any of the Biore clearance items that the first Wags did not have. Well - Jackpot! They had the Biore Skin Preservation items on clearance for $3.79!! They are also part of the buy one get one 50% off and there are $3.00 coupons in the 10/11SS. I had 4 of them so I picked up 4 products for $15.16 - then the register took off $3.80 for the 50% sale so we are at $11.36 and then it took off the $12.00 for the coupons sooooo $.64 money maker!!! These products were around $13-$15 each!
I also picked up another headband and in order to use 3 of my RR's, I added a couple of Christmas chocolates ($.29 ea) as fillers. In case you don't know, at Walgreen's, you have to have an item for each coupon you are using. Well, at the end of her taking off the Biore coupons, I was only able to use 2 of my RR's and I owed $1.55 and got back the $2 RR for the headband!

I ran across the street to Jewel to see what meat they had in their cases for the Fav 4 deal. I wasn't expecting much because it was around 7pm on the first day of the sale. Well I was pleasantly surprised - they were fully stocked. I picked up 3 packages of Jewel America's cut pork chops 1-5oz. (4 in each pkg), 3 packages of Perdue boneless skinless breasts, 6 packages of pub burgers (2 in each pkg). So the breakdown is this: $35.92 less $12.30 (3-$4.10 discounts) = $23.62 which breaks down to $1.81 per lb! Anytime you can get meat - especially GOOD meat for under $2.00/lb it's a great price! I also used $10.00 in Walgreen's RR's so that brought my oop way down! I LOVE JEWEL! :-)

Good luck this week - I hope you find some low priced meat packages! I plan on stopping in several times and fill my freezer with cheap meat to last me through the next few expensive months! After our vacation last week, Christmas gifts this month, Alex's trip to Disney after Christmas and Amanda's and my trip to Disney in February - I could use some stocking up that we can live off of for a few months! :-)
