Now this is more like it! This is what I was trying to do the other day, but with the new $5/$25 coupon I worked some of my planned transactions together.
Honestly, I never do the $5/$25 Wags coupons. I don’t like to spend that much out of pocket at a drugstore and since the coupon states that it has to be used after all manufacturer’s coupons there isn’t really another option. BUT, since I knew that I would be going to Jewel after this shop AND there were so many free after RR products I couldn’t resist!
Here’s what I did:
Transaction #1
I bought a bag of Halls yesterday, used a $.75 coupon and got $1 RR. Made $.73.

1 Herbal Essences Hairspray
1 Halls

Final Price: $4.31
Got $9 RR ($6 Gillette, $2 Herbal Essences, $1 Halls)

1 Gillette Razor
1 Dentek Floss

After all of this, I am up $8.41 and I have a billion Register Rewards. So what’s a girl to do? Go over to Jewel and use up some of those coupons!
I went over to Jewel and bought my produce and odds and ends for the week. It cost me $17.58. I used $17 RR and paid $.58 OOP.
Now I just have to make sure to roll and use up the rest of my RR in the next two weeks. This is why I don’t always like Wags RR program, but I couldn’t pass up these deals! Especially since the hairspray, razors, and Halls are all staples in my house.
