I got paid $1.51 to buy $52.12 of stuff at Walgreens!!

Success!! I love it when I get so much stuff for free! Here's what I did:

I bought:

• 4 boxes of Kelloggs Cereal - $10
• 3 boxes of Sudafed PE - $11.97
• 2 cans of Carnation Evaporated Milk - $3
• 2 cans of Borden Sweetened Condensed Milk - $6
• 2 Scotch tapes - $2.58
• 2 boxes of Clabber Girl Cornstarch - $1.98
• 1 tub of Betty Crocker frosting - $2.49
• 2 Russel Stover chocolate Santas (just to get the total above $20, for my coupon) - $1

Total = $39.02 (They are regularly $52.12; I saved $13.10 by buying some on sale)

I used these Walgreens coupons from the front of the store:

• $0.99 ea. Carnation Evaporated milk
• $1.79 ea. Borden Sweetened Condensed Milk
• BOGO Scotch tape
• 2/$1 Clabber Girl cornstarch
• $0.99 ea. Betty Crocker frosting
• $0.39 ea. Russel Stover chocolates

Total = $7.43 in Walgreens coupons

I used these Manufacturers' coupons:

• 4 $1/1 Kelloggs coupons from 11/9 RP
• 2 $1.50/1 Sudafed PE coupons from 10/5 RP and one $1/1 printable Sudafed PE coupon
• A $1/2 Carnation Evaporated Milk printable coupon
• 2 $0.55/1 Bordens Sweetened Condensed milk coupons from 11/9 RP
• A $1/2 Clabber Girl cornstarch coupon from 11/9 RP (got this for FREE!)
• A $0.50/1 Betty Crocker frosting coupon from 10/19 SS

Total = $11.60 in Manufacturers' coupons

So altogether, I got $52.12 of purchases - $13.10 on sale - $7.43 Walgreens coupons - $11.60 MQ = $19.99 + $0.50 tax = $20.49

I printed off a $5 off your Walgreens purchase of $20 or more -- Friday and Saturday only, so I paid the cashier $15.49 on my gift card (see my post below about how to rack up money on your Walgreens gift card, and potentially never pay another dime to Walgreens again!).

Here's what I received and will receive:

• $7 in register rewards to use as cash on my next Walgreens purchase ($5 for the Sudafed, $2 for the Kelloggs cereal)
• $10 in rebate for buying 4 boxes of Kelloggs cereal (you can take these out of any You Now magazine; you can find this at many grocery stores or at Kmart). If you don't want to get this magazine, just print out this rebate for $2.50 off Kelloggs Smart Start! You'll only get $2.50 back, instead of $10, but you still got $52.12 of stuff without paying a dime out of your pocket (by following my Walgreens gift card recommendations)!

So $15.49 paid - $7 register rewards - $10 rebate = $1.51 profit for buying $52.12 worth of goods!! Holy smokes!!!

And not a dime paid out of my pocket. It literally pays to learn how to shop at Walgreens, folks!
