At CVS, there were several items (Phillips earbuds, batteries, floss and matchbox cars) that I needed to get anyway. Each of those items gave you back the sale price in rewards bucks, so I accumulated about $14 of rewards bucks. The beauty of this particular venture was that there was a toy I wanted to get the boys for Christmas on sale for $12.99! So, I bought my stuff and then paid for the toy with rewards. I left there feeling pretty satisfied. But, the lesson wasn't over. Bekah wanted to show me the ropes at Walgreens.
My Walgreens haul
I got 6 packs of hair ties (seriously, I think I'm set until Jesus comes), 3 Thermacare wraps, 2 hair gels for the boys, and 2 hair products for my frizzy hair (oh, and 2 tubes of Carmex I forgot to throw in the picture). Regular price on all this stuff: over $60!!! Sale price: over $30!!!I stood at the register in awe at Bekah as she broke it all down into the best money saving transactions. So, get this: my price...wait for it....$3.88!!!!!!!!!!! Granted, I would NEVER buy all this at regular price or even this much at sale price, but for products I actually use, this was a HUGE score! I can definitely see how it can become addicting to shop like this! I will definitely have to go with Bekah a few more times before I'm proficient on my own but it's more fun to shop with a girlfriend anyway, right? Thanks, Bekah!
