Kroger: 2/8/14
**I recently got some awesome coupons from BzzAgent to check out all of the 'other' aisles at Kroger--they are promoting their paper goods, cleaning/laundry supplies, and non-food sections. These coupons helped me save a ton! So, they are not widely available and can't be duplicated unless you have these specific coupons--but I encourage anyone who likes to try products and write reviews check out BzzAgent.com**

Saturday's Total: $6.24+ $1.99 - $1.01= $7.22 for everything pictured above but I canceled all of that spending out with Sunday's trip to Walgreen's (see below)
Walgreens: 2/9/14
**Using paper coupons, anyone can recreate this deal this week--I have not been couponing at Walgreens much before, but I am definitely starting to like it there--and don't you know I actually needed chapstick? Lol. Sorry this photo is turned**
Also, I did multiple transactions for the deodorant so I would get the rewards. Walgreens is a little tricky to begin with just because of their reward programs, but so worth it! I will break down by transaction.
Transactions #1 and #2 were identical:
2 Mitchum deodorants, on sale for $3 each--register reward of $4 wyb 2
*Used 2 $2/1 Mitchum deodorant from SS insert (2 weeks ago I think)
Paid: $2.31
Received a $4 register reward (moneymaker of $1.69) (this was exact same for both)
Transaction #3:
2 Mitchum deodorants, $3 each--register reward of $4 wyb 2
5 Nivea 'regular' chapstick, $2.99 but sale was buy one, get one half off AND get $2 in points wyb 2
3 Nivea 'lipgloss', $3.49 and same sale* (2 rang up at $3.49, one rang up at $1.75, 2 rang up at $2.99, and 3 more rang up at $1.49 each for a total of $19.18 for the Niveas)
Total: $26.04 pre-coupon inlc. tax
Coupons used:
1 $2/1 Mitchum deodorant (I only had 5 total coupons of that kind, so I could have save $2 more, but I used what I had)
4 $3/2 Nivea lip products
1 Walgreens store promo coupon "get $5 back in points when you spend $25" from the ad yesterday
AND I have the winter beauty event loaded onto my card, for an extra 50 points on all skin/body/beauty items for every $1 you spend (everything I bought counted)
Final total for this transaction: I used a previous (from the free Culterelle last week) $10 register reward and $2.04 in cash to pay. I got back $4 in register rewards, $13 in points, and $1.25 in bonus points so that gave me a $6.21 moneymaker!
**I calculate my moneymakers by counting what I used to pay (in ANY form) and then subtracting what I earned. If I used less than I earned, it's a mm to me since I spent less than I got back. I used a total of $12.04 and got back a total of $18.25, for a difference of $6.21.
My totals at Walgreens: $9.59 moneymaker woohoo!
If you look at it this way, the $9.59 I made at Walgreens - the $7.22 I spent on Saturday still leaves me with a $2.37 moneymaker (enough to pay for bread I will need before this next snowstorm haha)
