————————————————
TRANSACTION 5:
Buy 1 Gain dish soap @ $0.99 per Wags coupon
Buy 1 Captain Crunch @$1.75
Buy 2 Dove Bliss bags @ 2for$6
use 50 cents off captain crunch from SS insert (i’m so sorry i don’t know the date 🙁 )
use two $1 off coupons from Walgreen’s May booklet
use two $1 off coupons from either SS or RP from 05/15 (again, sorry I can’t specify which, from now on i’ll make sure I organize my coupons by date and source too)
use $5 RR from prior transaction
PAY $.26 OOP
it totals out to $3.15 OOP for products worth $23.50 , But I’m adding these last two transactions to the first three on the site.
Thanks so much for the help!!
Oh and I did have the aquafresh coupons, but they came from either an SS or RP insert from a few weeks ago, perhaps they are available online ??
For my earlier post, that should have read as transactions 1 and 2 – sorry!
