The Walgreens Game

Over a year ago, when I first started up my original blog, I was figuring out the best coupon deals available.  In the last several months, Walgreens has opened 2 stores here in Anchorage and I figured that I would start working the Walgreens Game that seems ever so popular on many frugal websites. 
This is my first attempt, but I think that so far I am doing ok.  I have made two trips this week, here is how I did.  My second trip was purely to score more RR (Rebate Rewards) and to pick up some milk.

Trip 1
Herbal Essences, sale $3.49, coupon $1.00, final $2.49  (earned RR $2)
Venus Razor, sale $7.99, coupon $2.00, final $5.99  (earned RR $4)
Dentek floss picks, sale $2.00, coupon $1.00, final $1.00  (earned RR $2)
Chapstick, $3.49, sale $2.99, final $2.99  (earned RR $3)
Oral-B toothbrush, $3.79, sale $3.00, coupon $1.00, final $2.00  (earned RR $3)
Halls Refresh sale $1.39, coupon .75c, final .64c  (earned RR $1)


Total oop = $15.11
Earned RR = $15.00

Trip 2
Fat Free Milk, $2.99
Dentek floss picks, sale $2.00, coupon $1.00, final $1.00  (earned RR $2)
Oral-B Toothbrush, $3.79, sale $3.00, final $3.00  (earned RR $3)
Hersheys chocolate, sale 2 for $1.00

Used RR = $6.00
Total oop = $1.99
Earned RR = $5.00

So...not to bad for my first attempts at the Walgreens Game, we'll see how well I can keep it up  :-)   For more frugal shopping tips, check out the Saving Money Blogs List in the left column.
