Farm Fresh
Farm Fresh is having double coupons through tomorrow.  I had to pick up a few items for Moneyboys end of the year party that I was assigned, so I went through my coupons to see what I had left.  I know everyone likes to see the super low OOP and free trips, but lately I just haven’t had time to split transactions or make a lot of trips.  Sorry!

Walgreens
I ran into WAGS on Sunday with about a minute and a half prep time with hubby and the kids in the car.  My plan was to purchase the above (excluding candy) in 1 transaction to save time and do THIS in a 2nd transaction.  Well, they haven’t restocked the Neutrogena bars or I just keep missing out on them.  Scratch idea 1.
It had also been posted all over bloggerland that the Nivea Active 3 were ringing up BOGO so I had 2 in my basket.  Obviously from the picture it didn’t ring up BOGO for me.  Needless to say I overspent because I split the razor and paper in 1 transaction to use the RR on the 2 Nivea’s.  Well, the Nivea didn’t ring up BOGO so I had the 2nd voided which meant that my item # was off (needed 2 items to use a coupon and RR) so I grabbed a $0.39 candy bar. Now I was under the total to be able to use the RR so I ended up with 3 candy bars.  Basically, had a purchased the razor then the Nivea and paper I would have been golden. 
See my matchups HERE
Transaction 1
Total Spent $5.49, Earned $4 RR
Total Saved $6.00
Transaction 2
Total Spent $0.49, Earned $6 RR
Total Saved $7.72
After factoring in the $6 RR I have left I “made” $0.02
I’d used up my RR’s before vacation so I didn’t have to run out before they expired.  Keep rolling the RR’s weekly to lower your OOP and maximize your savings.
 
CVS
Gillette and Old Spice are ringing up LIMIT 2!!!!!!  Thanks to a comment I was hoping I would get that lucky.  I used the BOGO coupon so I didn’t even pay for the 2nd Gillette!  There were plenty left on the shelves of Gillette, Old Spice and Schick.  I think they may have overstocked in anticipation of all the shoppers because extras were piled on top of the products lined up on the shelves.  Thanks Volvo CVS!

    Thanks for the link up again, lady! Sorry I did not post today on my blog although the yogurt transactions I did were about the same as I did here: http://thecouponqueensofhr.blogspot.com/2010/06/farm-fresh-doubles-for-stace692010.html

    I was given extra yogurt coupons so that is how I was able to do it a couple times over today–splitting into separate transactions. There is nothing like making money when you were only paying tax to begin with. Now if Dannon puts out a rebate, I'll really be in business 😉

    Walgreens has a 3-pack of EPT digital tests on sale for $14.99. I used the $3/1 internet coupon plus my $6 RR from purchasing the Nivea on sale this week and got the 3-pack for $5.99! That's $2 per digital test!
