Shopping with Deb at Walgreens 5/27/11


I am going to do this one quick because I am just beat from work.... This is just my last trip to Walgreens from a few days ago.  Sale is good through tomorrow.  I messed up on this trip by only doing 2 transactions.  I should have done 3 for another $9.00 in savings.  I guess I learned my lesson though.
So, for my first transaction I purchased the following:

Jet Dry $4.49
Buy 1 get $1.50 RR
$1.50 off in ad coupon
$0.75 off printable
Paid $2.24 got $1.50 RR
Final Price: $0.74

Two bottles of Advil $4.99 ea
Buy 2 get $5.00 RR
$4.00 off coupon from 5/22 insert
Paid $5.98 got $5.00 RR
Final Price: $0.98 for 2

Infusium Conditioner $5.99
Buy 1 get $2.00 RR
$2.00 off coupon from 5/22 insert
Paid $3.99 got $2.00
Final Price: $1.99

Scuncci Hair Elastics $2.00
Buy 1 get $2.00 RR
Paid $2.00 got $2.00 RR
Final Price: FREE!

Paid $19.21 
Saved $19.72
Got $10.50 RR

My Second Transaction (where I screwed up):

Nature Made Vitamins $6.99 and $5.00
On Sale Buy 1 Get 1 Free
Found clearance 2 pack for $6.99 and got the $5.00 bottle free
$5.00 off Calcium coupon from Walgreens
$1.00 off any NM Vitamin printable from Naturemade.com
Final Price: $0.99 for both

Carefree Pantiliners $0.99
Free with coupon from 5/22 insert
Final Price: FREE!

Infusium Shampoo $5.99
Buy 1 get $2.00 RR
$2.00 off coupon from 5/22 insert
Paid $3.99 got $2.00
Final Price: $1.99

Haribo Gold Bears $1.00
Buy 1 Get 1 Free with in ad coupon
$0.30 off coupon (used 2)
Final Price: $1.40 for 4 bags

Puffs Plus 124 ct $2.49
$1.50 with in ad coupon
$0.50 off coupon from P&G Booklet
Final Price: $2.50 for 2

2 Advil PM $4.99 ea
Used $4.00 off coupon as before, but since I used the RR from the previous transaction, I did not get it again.  What I should have done was ring up this, as well as the other bottle of Infusium seperately, then everything else in a 3rd transaction in order to get and use all RR..... lesson learned!
I also got a $5.00 calendar on clearance for $2.59 (comes with about $15 in unexpired coupons), some normally $10.99 massage oils for $2.69 (now I just need some hands to go with them), and some of the Wyler's drink mixes on sale for $0.59 each.

Paid: $16.39
Saved: $54.58
Got another $2.00 RR for next time 

So....
Total Paid on this trip: $35.60
Total Saved: $74.30
RR left over: $4.00
Savings: 71%

But if I had done it the RIGHT WAY I would have saved another $5.00 and used the $4.00 RR or 76% savings....... overall though, I am happy.  I went in with a game plan and unfortunately didn't follow it right.  Next time I will not deviate from the plan!  If any of this doesn't make sense, please let me know.  I am very, very tired....... goodnight!
