First, its been a long month - I have made trips to the store couponing of course, but haven't had the time to post them. I made a trip to Walgreens today.

So, I returned to Randalls today to get another 10 boxes of Cocoa Krispies, 2 more pasta sauces and 2 more coffees because I found more coupons for the latter two items. :) I paid $22.01 out of pocket and now have 10 more UPCs for another mail in rebate (you can do 5 per household until the end of December) and another 10 Cars 2 codes to get the $5 gas cards. Also, I failed to mention yesterday that when you buy 5 Kelloggs cereals in one transaction you get a voucher for a free movie ticket (up to $12 value!). So, I have 4 free movie ticket vouchers, 2 $10 gas card mail in rebates, and $25 worth of $5 gas cards (its takes up to 90 days to get the gas cards, but I'm okay with the wait, because I always forget they are coming so its like Christmas in my mail box when they get here. lol). So the grand total over both days for just the cereal was $41.80. The total for all the gas cards and movie tickets I'll be receiving is $93! So, basically I made $51.20 worth of stuff! :) I'm loving it!



I also made a quick stop into Walgreens today and picked up some Soft Scrub cleaners and Renuzit air freshners (the kids LOVE these in their rooms - and need them too. lol).

The deal worked like this:
2 toliet bowl cleaners ($3.00 on sale)
2 cleanser with bleach ($3.00 on sale)
3 air freshners ($1.00 on sale)

I used 2 - Buy one toliet cleaner, get one cream cleanser free and
1 - Buy 2 get 1 free on the air freshners
Total before coupons: $15
Total after coupons above: $8
I also used 4 Register Rewards(RR) from previous trips totaling $7.99
So total out of pocket was $.01. I also received a $4 RR. :)
