Using up RR's

Did my totals for my Thanksgiving/Black Friday shopping. I bought $774.03 worth of merchandise and made an overall cost of negative $164.50! That's definitely worth all the effort and time I spent.

Walgreens - was happy to see some cheap items this week that I could use some RR's on. Turning them into cash via the rebate doesn't hurt either.
  • Salonpas Pain Relief Patch (5 ct.) $5.99, got back $6 RR = FREE/$0.01 profit
  • Neoteric Cream Healing (4 oz) $7.99, will submit for $7.99 rebate (form prints at checkout) = FREE
  • 2 Envelopes $0.59 each with in-circular coupon
  • 6 Votive candles $0.16 each with in-circular coupon
  • WAG cotton swabs $1.99 with in-circular coupon
  • Used $1.50 RR, two $3 RR's and three $3.50 RR's, total was $1

Do you know if the Complete solution at CVS is on sale, or if $9.99 is the regular price? One of my cashiers gave me a friends/family discount card for next weekend...might could make for a better moneymaker :)

I'm not sure, but either way, you'd need to get a raincheck for the EB. They usually write the price right on there, so you should be ok using that.
