Light Day - Only 8 Transactions

Its a chilly, rainy day here in the Garden State. Days like this, I always cut class. Most normal folks dragged themselves to class and cut on beautiful sunny days. Not me. It takes a monumental amount of effort and willpower to get me out of bed on days like this. All I want to do is stay inside, under a warm blanket and read and nap. So on that note, here's a nice rainy day song for you - Norah Jones - Don't Know Why

FYI - the Chapstick is going to be on sale for $1.99 and produce $2 RR's all month (not just this week as I had originally posted). I think I'll add this to my counting list at the bottom. And thanks to cdarrow for the tip about the Scott tp. You had said Angel Soft in your post, but I knew what you meant. :)

Wow - my March rebate money has already reloaded to my gift card.

Walgreens

• Bayer Contour monitor $14.99, used freebie coupon (3/22 RP) = FREE, got back a coupon for a FREE 6 oz. tube of Crest Pro Health toothpaste
• Edge shaving cream $2.79 *did NOT get back $3 RR for this so they probably fixed this glitch. Only the Edge Energy varieties are working now (black cans). I'll return this some other time.
• Scott toilet paper $2.50 with in-circular coupon, used $0.75 coupon (3/29 SS) = $1.75
• 2 Butterfinger candies $0.39 each (with in-circular coupon) *for some reason I was thinking I needed two fillers
• Used $2 RR and $2 RR, total was $1.57

Second transaction

• Bayer Contour monitor $14.99, used freebie coupon (3/22 RP) = FREE, got back a coupon for a FREE 6 oz. tube of Crest Pro Health toothpaste
• Dawn dish detergent $0.99 (with in-circular coupon)
• Chapstick 100% Naturals or True Shimmer Lip Balm or Butter (0.15 oz) $1.99, got back $2 RR = FREE
• Butterfinger candy $0.39 (with in-circular coupon)
• Used $3 RR, total was $0.61

Then, I used my freebie coupons:

• Crest Pro Health toothpaste (6 oz.) $4.49, used freebie coupon = FREE (no tax! I usually pay tax on toothpaste, but I think because the coupon was a WAGs coupon, it brought my taxable total down to zero)

Rinse and repeat - I tried to buy both at once but the second coupon beeped. The cashier suggested I buy them separately, and that was a-okay with me. She said to me - "now that's a way to save money, spend nothing!" You got that right!

• Crest Pro Health toothpaste (6 oz.) $4.49, used freebie coupon = FREE

Lunch break

• Bayer Contour monitor $14.99, used freebie coupon (3/22 RP) = FREE, got back a coupon for a FREE 6 oz. tube of Crest Pro Health toothpaste
• Chapstick 100% Naturals or True Shimmer Lip Balm or Butter (0.15 oz) $1.99, got back $2 RR = FREE
• Scott toilet paper $2.50 with in-circular coupon, used $0.75 coupon (3/29 SS) = $1.75
• Used $3 RR, total was $0.88

After work

• Bayer Contour monitor $14.99, used freebie coupon (3/22 RP) = FREE, got back a coupon for a FREE 6 oz. tube of Crest Pro Health toothpaste
• Chapstick 100% Naturals or True Shimmer Lip Balm or Butter (0.15 oz) $1.99, got back $2 RR = FREE
• Scott toilet paper $2.50 with in-circular coupon, used $0.75 coupon (3/29 SS) = $1.75
• Used $3 RR, total was $0.88

Used my next set of two freebie coupons (bought seperately)

• Crest Pro Health toothpaste (6 oz.) $4.49, used freebie coupon = FREE
• Crest Pro Health toothpaste (6 oz.) $4.49, used freebie coupon = FREE

Now you may be wondering, "ok, frugalsuz, its nice that you got all that free toothpaste and monitors, 'cause we know you were getting low. So what?" Well, here's what! I will submit for $5 rebate (WYB 4 Crest products, ESR #5) = $5 profit!

There was no tax on the monitors or toothpaste in my area, so this was truly a moneymaker deal for me. Some areas charge tax on the monitors, so it may not be quite as good a deal.

Don't forget about the Crest rebate where you send away and get back a coupon for a free Crest toothpaste. You can often find these forms in Walgreens.

Today's count: Skintimate - 3, Edge - 11, Chapstick - 13
