Walgreens: Paid $1.37, saved $34.58

I took a trip over to Walgreens today, trying to figure out the best way to spend my $21 in Register Rewards.  There are lots of free items after Register Rewards this week, and I wanted to figure out the best way to get some of them without spending too much out of pocket.

I looked for the items I wanted, but found that a couple of them were already sold out - and this was just after noon on Sunday!  I found some items, did some math in my head, and ended up putting a couple of items back.  This is what I ended up getting:

Transaction 1:
1 Applied Nutrition Anti-Aging Total Body Defense @ $10.00, receive $10 RR
2 Walgreens low-dose aspirin @ 79¢ (with in-ad coupon)
Total product: $11.58
Used $11 RRs ($7, $2, $2) from two weeks ago
Paid: 58¢
Saved: $18.39


Transaction 2:
1 Applied Nutrition Anti-Aging Total Body Defense @ $10.00, receive $10 RR
1 Walgreens low-dose aspirin @ 79¢ (with in-ad coupon)
Total product: $10.79
Used $10 RRs ($5, $5) from last week
Paid: 79¢
Saved: $16.19

Total out-of-pocket:  $1.37
Total savings:  $34.58
Total RRs received: $20
