Walgreens shopping day

My Walgreens shopping day was not too bad but I did learn about fillers. When you receive RR (register rewards) from Walgreens, they will only allow you to use 1 coupon per item. So, this is where the fillers come in. I had to go to two different Walgreens but the total was $36.04 and I paid $10.04. (I have a $2 RR left over so $12.04 - 2 = $10.04 ;)

Pantene, Herbal Essence or Aussie Hair products 2/$7 = $2RR
Nivea body wash $3.99 = $2 RR

CVS: Free $2.00 ExtraBucks

How about an extra $2.00, and all you have to do is have your card. Go to CVS website and make a pledge to get your $2.00 in extra bucks. How easy is that?

Coupon crazy

I've started clipping coupons and I'm addicted. I catch myself always trying to find the cheapest deal or whatever I can get for free. My bathroom and pantry is completely stocked and I'm working on my kitchen. I hope to start posting more hints and ideas soon. :)
