There wasn’t a lot that I wanted to shop for this week at either CVS or Walgreens. I knew I wanted to pick up my free Velveeta Shells & Cheese or Kraft Cup, I had a $2.50 Register Reward that I needed to burn (it expired today) and I figured I’d do the small Accu-Check moneymaker while I was out shopping. Therefore, 1+2+3=Walgreens. Here’s what I did:
Walgreens
Accu-Check Aviva Plus Blood Glucose Monitor $17.99
1 Kraft Mac & Cheese Cup $1.49
Used Get 50 points for every $1 in Health Care you spend in-ad coupon
Used $2.50 RR from two weeks ago
Paid $16.98 plus tax, Got 3,000 points from Accu-Check, 850 bonus points and $1.49 from SavingStar AND I will file for the Accu-Check in-box rebate
Final Price: $.85 Moneymaker
The funniest thing about my trip today is that my cashier asked if I knew how to use my points. This is the third time I’ve been asked in three weeks, probably because I have just over 74,000 in points. Yeah, that’s $74. Believe you me, I will use it, but we have really only seen points deals, so I’m waiting for something I need or something that produces Register Rewards. Come on Walgreens, help me out here! Happy shopping this week guys!
