This was a challenging trip to Walgreens. The Maalox price was different than I had expected and two of the items that were free after Register Rewards weren’t in stock. That will teach me to skip going to Wags on Sunday. Also, since I wanted to use a $5 off Jingle Cash coupon and generate a new one, I decided to have a total of at least $30 after all store coupons were deducted (including my Jingle Cash from last week), just to make sure a new $5 Jingle Cash coupon came out of the Catalina machine.
Considering the challenges, I think this trip worked out well. I really wanted to just make sure I didn’t waste last week’s Jingle Cash that I earned, so I figured I would buy some items that were on sale, many of which will be donated next week when we clear out a lot of stuff in the stockpile that we either aren’t using, or are accumulating faster than we use them.
Here’s what I bought, along with the coupons used:
