I wasn’t able to shop last week because I was out of town at a conference, so I was itching to shop this week! Not just that, but I love the Kraft Homestyle Macaroni & Cheese and these singles are something easy to eat when I’m working. (Luckily the kids prefer Velveeta Shells & Cheese, so these are all MINE!) I actually started my morning by stopping by the CVS to get free Beano + Dairy, but my CVS didn’t have them in stock yet. They gave me a rain check and I’ll get mine next week or the week after (when no one else is looking for them!) After that (somewhat) failed trip, I ran to Walgreens and did this:
Transaction #1
1 Kraft Homestyle Mac & Cheese $2
1 K-Y Ultra Gel $6
Used $1 K-Y Product coupon (zip 68130)
Also used 5,000 points from previous weeks
Paid $2 plus tax, Got $2 RR from Kraft and $6 RR from K-Y
Final Price: $1 Moneymaker
Transaction #2
1 Kraft Homestyle Mac & Cheese $2
(Attempted to use 2,000 points from previous weeks, but the cashier couldn’t get the register to access them. Eventually I gave up and paid rather than make the 5 people in line behind me wait any longer)
Paid $2 plus tax, Got $2 RR from Kraft
Final Price: Free
My intention had been to get another K-Y and more Kraft, but my store was pretty sparse when I got there. I do not clear shelves, so I will stop by another Walgreens in my area tomorrow to see what they have in stock. While I didn’t get much, I did end up making a dollar on my total purchase, so I’m not complaining! Happy shopping this week!
