This is going to be a fast post because Brianna has just laid down for a nap, Lauren's coming over, Stephen and Josh will be home from hunting soon, and I'm making venison cube steak for dinner tonight from our fresh kill!! But I want to get this post out of the way. Yesterday I was only able to make it to two stores for Black Friday - Rite Aid and Walgreens. Yes I have started steering clear of Walgreens but they had such great sales I got sucked back in.

Walgreens trip #2 11/27

Nivea shaving cream
SP $2.49. RR = $2.50
Dove deodorant
SP $3.99. Minus $1.50 coupon. RR = $4
Aquafresh toothpaste
SP $1.99. RR = $2
Johnson & Johnson body wash
RP $5.99. Minus $1.00 coupon. RR = $6

SP $2.49. RR = $2.50
Final total - Spent $19.14. Saved $9.50. Received $22 in Register Rewards.
Walgreens trip #3 11/28
Scotch mailer
RP $1.19.

Dove deodorant
SP $3.99. Minus $1.50 coupon. Minus $1.00 coupon. RR = $4
Johnson & Johnson body wash
RP $5.99. Minus $1.00 coupon. RR = $6
Minus a $2.50 RR. Minus a $2.50 RR. Minus a $5.00 RR. At this point, the register would not accept any more register rewards even though there was still a large amount for me to pay! This is why I hate the register rewards program at Walgreens. And once again, after I spend the rest of my RR that I have, I will not go back. I stayed away for almost a month and I really don't regret that at all. My shopping life was much simpler.
Final total - Spent $10.48. Saved $20.59. Received $13.00 in RR.
So all in all, even though not every trip went exactly as planned, I still made a profit. And that's really all that matters in the end.

Hi. I'm a friend of Jenn's, and read your blog for your deals. Hope you don't mind. Two things... Fed By Faith= WONDERFUL! And about the register rewards at Walgreens, you have to have more stuff than coupons and register rewards... For example, if you have 2 deodorants, two coupons, and 1 register reward, it will kick out one of them. You have to get a small filler like a pack of gum, or .39 something. Hope this helps! :)
Hey Melody! Thanks for reading the blog! See, that's what I thought about Walgreens but yesterday I did buy a filler item - the Scotch mailer - and plus there was one other item that I didn't have a coupon for and it still wouldn't accept even a $2.50 RR even though there was a $10 balance. The whole thing just confuses me and I can't find on their website a set list of "rules". It seems like every Walgreens is different. I still have about $20 in RR so I'll try again. Thank you for the tip!!
