My hope was that this would be an easy week for shopping and it wasn’t too bad! Hopefully you had a good experience as well! The only major issue that I had at Walgreens was that my Hallmark coupon scanned as expired (???) even though it didn’t expire until 12/21. Next my Register Reward wouldn’t scan because I gave it last instead of first (??). For as long as they’ve had the Register Rewards program, I have giving my RR last and encouraged you to do the same. I have no idea what was different about this week, but whatever! The rules there change daily. Luckily she pushed all of the coupons through, but gave me a warning for next time. Warning digested. Here’s what I did:

Also used 2,000 points from previous weeks

All in all my shop cost me just under $17, but considering I got three bags of Pull-Ups out of the mix, I’m thrilled. My baby is having a tough time night training and until things become easier for her, their cost is part of our reality! I know we’re not the only ones, so grab these deals when you can get them!
