Join me each week as I host The Walgreens $5 Challenge!

*********************************
Here is MY $5 Scenario for the week of November 14th:
*coupons in red (scenarios never include tax as this will vary by region)
Transaction #1
Buy 1 Infusium 23 Hair Care @ $5.99
– $1.00/1 Infusium 23 Shampoo, Conditioner, or Leave-in Treatment (SS insert 11/14/10)
Total After Coupon = $4.99
RRs Earned= $3.00
Transaction #2
Buy 1 Kids-Eeze Cough & Cold @ $4.99
Pay with $3.00 RR from above
Total After RRs= $1.99
RRs Earned= $4.99
Grand Total OOP=$6.98
Total Value= $10.98 with $4.99 Register Rewards remaining!
Keep rolling those RR’s for more savings!
*************************************
Let’s see what fabulous scenarios you come up with for $5.00 or less!
Simply post your scenarios on your blog, then leave your link below. (If you are reading via email or in a reader please click through to see the Mr. Linky)
Please link directly to your scenarios, not your homepage. Linking back to this meme to share it with others is greatly appreciated!
Don’t have a blog? You can leave a comment with your scenario, too. I invite everyone to participate.
I was just thinking, shouldn’t I reverse that? Like this:
Buy 1 Kids-Eeze Cough & Cold @ $4.99
Get Back $4.99 RR
Buy 1 Infusium 23 Hair Care @ $5.99
Use $1 off coupon (plus cheap filler)
Use $4.99 RR
Pay cost of cheap filler, say, 50 cents, so
Pay 50 cents, get back $3 RR
Total Payment $5.50 oop for 3 items, still have $3 RR?
Let me know if I should go the other way, since I’d have more RRs to work with if I went the way you said?
