        @Melissa,
        OH I am sorry but I really dont know how I did it, but I did have coupons for each item and I also used the May Walgreens coupon booklet as well as the in ad coupons and some RR’s left over from the time before that I needed to use up. The Oscar Meyer weenies coupon I had was get one pack free and then the sale was also B1G1 so I got both free and the mascara was on clearance, my Pantene coupons came out of the Parade section in Sundays paper. I will pay more attention next time, and this was done in 1 transaction also. I am still learning how to do the coupons to get the best deal with some help from friends on FB blog posts.
