Total oop = $5.54

You will get a $4 RR back for the Neosporin



Ok here is the fun part - you should have several RRs (at least $2 RRs) and I want you to use them - just remember that since you have a coupon for every item you have purchased - you will need to purchase some small filler item for every RR you use. Also note that there will be an 8 pg sales ad and a 16 pg sales ad - so I tried to pick the items that were Good Deals in both sales papers.



Transaction #2:

Purchase 1 Jergen's Lotion @ $5.99 = $5.99

You will need to purchase a small filler

Subtotal = $5.99 + cost of small filler

4 x $3/1 Bic Soliel from insert - unsure which one

1 x $4/$20 CVS Ready Fill coupon



CVS Transactions - This is a slow week:



Note: If you have school supplies rainchecks this is the week to cash them in as there is a $5 ECB when you purchase $15 in CVS or Caliber School Supplies plus you can get the ECBs mentioned on the raincheck - this is a YMMV as your store may not allow you to double dip.

I did not include the Candy deal as the candy promotion as it is one continuous promotion (7/26-8/15), so keep that in mind as you plan your shopping. If you've already completed the candy promotion do not attempt it again.

Stockpiling for the Week of 8/2-8/8

Walgreen’s Coupons Needed:

8 x .50/1 Suave Deodorant Coupons from insert (you will need this many Qs multiplied by the number of transactions you want to do)
8 x $2/1 L’Oreal Everpure Shampoo or Conditioner MQ from insert
1 x $1/1 Listerine Whitenng Pre Rinse Mouthwash from insert (you will need this many Qs multiplied by the number of transactions you want to do)

Transaction #1:
Purchase 8 x Suave Deodorant 2.6 oz on sale 25% so $1.41 x 8 = $11.28
Purchase 4 Penway 10 pk pencils @ .19 ea x 4 = .76
Subtotal = $12.04
Use 8 x .50/1 Suave = -$4.00
Use 4 x $2 RRs = -$8.00
Total oop = .04
Get back $10 in RR

Transaction #2:
Purchase 1 Vitamin Shampoo or Conditioner on sale for $3.99 = $3.99
Purchase 1 Butler Gum twin pack toothbrush for $3.49 = $3.49
Purchase 1 Listerine Whitenng Pre Rinse Mouthwash @ $3.99 = $3.99
Subtotal = $11.47
Use $1/1 Listerine MQ = -$1.00
Use $10 RR in T#2 = -$10.00
Total oop = $.47
Get back $3.99, $3.49, and $2.00 in RR or a total of $9.48 in RRs

Ok if you want to roll these RRs:

Transaction #1a:
Purchase 8 x Suave Deodorant 2.6 oz on sale 25% so $1.41 x 8 = $11.28
Purchase 2 Penway 10 pk pencils @ .19 ea x 2 = .38
Subtotal = $11.66
Use 8 x .50/1 Suave = -$4.00
Use the $3.99, and the $3.49 RRs from T#2.
(Set the $2 RRs from the Listerine aside each time and just stockpile those $2 RRs) so - $7.48
Total oop = .18
Get back $10 in RR

Transaction #2a:
Purchase 1 Vitamin Shampoo or Conditioner on sale for $3.99 = $3.99
Purchase 1 Butler Gum twin pack toothbrush for $3.49 = $3.49
Purchase 1 Listerine Whitenng Pre Rinse Mouthwash @ $3.99 = $3.99
Subtotal = $11.47
Use $1/1 Listerine MQ = -$1.00
Use $10 RR in T#1a = -$10.00
Total oop = $.47
Get back $3.99, $3.49, and $2.00 in RR or a total of $9.48 in RRs

And that is how you roll RRs between those 2.

Now for the L'Oreal Everpure:

Transaction #3: Ok now here is where it gets funky. If you only did T#1 & T#2 and did not do T#1a or T#2a this is the way you would finish this Transaction:

Purchase 4 L’Oreal Everpure Shampoo or Conditioner on sale @ $6 ea x 4 = $24.00Purchase 3 Penway 10 pk pencils @ .19 ea x 3 = .57
Subtotal = $24.57
Use 4 x $2/1 L’Oreal MQs = -$8.00
Use the 3 RRs from T#2 = - $9.48
Use 1 $2 RR = -$2.00
Total oop = $5.09
Get back $10 RR that is only good on the next purchase of L'Oreal.

So you do another Transaction:
Purchase 4 L’Oreal Everpure Shampoo or Conditioner on sale @ $6 ea x 4 = $24.00Purchase 1 Penway 10 pk pencils @ .19 ea = .19
Subtotal = $24.19
Use 4 x $2/1 L’Oreal MQs = -$8.00
Use the $10 RR that is good on your next purchase of L'Oreal = - $10.00
Total oop = $6.19
You should not get another RR back unless there is a glitch in their system.

If you did T#1, #2, #1a, and #2a, and you rolled until you were done then do basically the same transactions (T#3 and the extra) listed above however, remember to increase the # of boxes of pencils you buy to equal the # of RRs you use.
