Working 9 to 5

Well, dear friends, I took a day off work today to get all my Walgreens shopping done. I started at store #1 at 9 am and I rounded out the day back at that same store again at 5 pm. I stopped home for a quick lunch break, but otherwise spent the day Walgreens-hopping. Let me tell you, I am TIRED! I basically did the same transactions over and over, so I'm going to try and condense this a little for you. My gift cards are used up, so I used cash to pay for all the transactions. Here we go:

Had three of those darn Bayer coupons to use up. They are finally gone! :)

• Bayer Contour/Breeze 2 monitor $14.99, used freebie coupon (10/26 or 2/1 RP or 3/22 SS) and got back $5 RR = $5 profit - bought three separately = $15 profit

Then the mission was to use up all of those Bayer RR's

• Nivea Body Wash for Women (16.9 oz.) $4.99, used $1 coupon (4/5 RP or store displays) and got back $5 RR = $1 profit
