the tuna's gonna be .88 each starting wednesday. You didn't want to wait on it?

Also, the hershey's bars are 2 for 1.00 again this week. With the BOGO coupon, you'll get 4 for 1.00. Not that we need more chocolate lol!

I need some of the tums. We go through them at a rapid pace! :)

I also hope Wags or CVS has a sale on the durex.

What? I can get a manufacture rebate too? I lucked out and found this is Jan. and there was a coupon in the pack for a free refill.

The rebate form says AutoZone, does that matter?

Suz,
Do you have to go to a different Walgreens to get a 2nd razor or couldn't you just do it in separate transaction as long as you don't use the RR for the 2nd one? I don't have a store near me so I'm not up on the ins and outs of Wags but I have to take a trip so I will be making the most of it by stopping. Thanks.

Amiyrah,
Grr, I really hate not getting a SR circular in the mail anymore! I knew I saw it was $0.88 on HCW, but when I got to the store and saw that it was $1.18, I thought maybe the $0.88 was a regional price or something. Oh well, still made a profit!

I definitely don't need any more chocolate! lol I have way too much as is. :)

Lisa,
I take Tums everyday as a calcium supplement, so I go through them pretty fast too. I was happy that I got more $2 CRT coupons at CVS yesterday so I can get some more.

Steph,
Yeah, its weird that it says Auto Zone. It doesn't specify that you have to buy it at Auto Zone so its worth a shot. The most you have to lose is a stamp.

I could have bought more than one razor at the same Walgreens, in different transactions. And you're right, as long as I didn't use the RR I got in transaction one on transaction two, I would still have received the second RR. But since I have so many Walgreens in my area, I try not to do back to back transactions like that if I can help it. I try to fly under the radar as much as possible. And the stores can limit you to one item if they want to. I've had that happen before on a rebate item, so I try not to do that too much. But if you have a cool cashier (or one who could care less, lol), go for it! :)
