I hit the motherload at Walgreens!

I haven't done any major shopping at Walgreens lately thanks to a fantastic storehouse of items I have gotten during previous Walgreens shopping trips.  But this week proved to be too good to pass up.  So, I made my list, gathered my coupons and headed out!  I don't have any pictures and I won't go into intense detail here but here is what I got:

• 2 boxes Frosted Mini Wheats
• 2 boxes Special K Red Berries
• 1 Soft Soap handsoap
• 2 Revlon Matte Lipsticks
• 4 Glade Scented Oil Candle refills
• 2 Glade Jar Candles
• 2 Glade Scented Oil Refills
• 1 box of Electrasol Gel Packs dishwasher detergent
• 2 boxes Orajel Cold-Sore Patches
• 9 Garnier Fructis Style Products
• 2 Garnier Fructis Shampoo
• 2 Garnier Fructis Conditioner

Okay, are you ready for this?  I hope you are sitting down...according to my receipts, if I had not used any coupons or sales these products would have totaled over $140!!!!  (Heaven help me!)  So, how much did I pay you ask?  Well, after all my coupons and sales the total I had to pay came to just over $42.  That is obviously a huge savings, but in our current economic situation I really couldn't have justified that.  However, I had $30 on a gift card, so I only had to pay $12 out of pocket.  Ah, that's better!  But wait, that's not all!  Of the 12 things I have listed above, 6 of them are earning me rebates.  Once my rebates come in, Walgreens will have paid me $2.52 to purchase all of those items!  Now that is what I call a fun day of shopping at Walgreens!!  I hope your shopping adventures this week are just as profitable!
