2nd Couponing Trip

What all started as "We need trash bags" has turned into a couponing trip to Walgreens! I don't mind the excuse and feel pretty good about my purchase. They had run out of Gillette body wash which completely screwed up my plan so having to swap the bodywash I wanted with the Old Spice (which I didn't have a coupon for) it cost me a few dollars to revamp my plan. *sigh*  I'm hoping once I get a little more experience I'll get better at thinking on the fly. Here is what I bought:





I had to break this trip into 3 transactions in order to maximize the Register Rewards which is why the body wash screwed me up so much! It was my first transaction and everything else relied on the $3 Reward that they gave me.
