Walgreens & CVS Trip 7/31 *89% SAVINGS!*


CVS & WAGS products combined






 Today was the perfect day to go to Walgreens since they had this overlapping RR deal!  The cottenelle 12 pack was on sale and had some RR and coupons to go with it... I walked in the store intending ONLY on buying this but thankfully, I was also able to get some freebies too!
I did about 5 transactions which I never do!  I always cap it at 2 only because I don't want to be the person who takes 30 minutes to check out.  I lucked out today and checked out at the cosmetics department and I had the BEST cashier ever!!  She said to me "Don't worry! Do as many transactions as you want!"  That was music to my ears!  Turns out she was an aspiring couponer so I was able to give her a few tips... We helped each other out and I got some great deals to take home!
Here's what I got:

*NOTE* The filler item I used today was a folder for 11 cents! (On front page right top corner of Walgreens ad)
