I know it doesn't seem like the amount of items in the picture should be worth the total shelf cost, but I got many items this week that are usually around $10 a piece. Both of the razors retail for $10 and the refill cartridges are $9, so it was a great deal! I also found out when I was filling out my mail in rebate that I can buy two more Nexcare products and mail all of the UPCs in together for an $11 rebate. I'm going to head back to CVS a little later today to buy the other two packages.

I have taken a new approach at Walgreens. I now shop the conventional 'couponer way' and break my purchases up into multiple transactions. This way, I use most of the RRs that I get during that day's shopping trip. I had struggled with Walgreens recently because their RRs only last two weeks. Most of the RRs I was receiving were expiring. Now I'm a little more of a pain in the store, but at least I use all of the money I receive! Another tub is heading to the food pantry this week!!

Sorry I have been so behind with my postings. I have taken a couple weekends off due to poor sales at both CVS and Walgreens. I have been having lots of problems at Walgreens lately and I am considering no longer shopping there. I have found that they are much less accommodating to couponers than they are at CVS, not to mention a little rude. I have also come to the realization that their Register Rewards expire after only two weeks, which has become a problem for me. Anyway, I'll keep you posted on this front.
