Super Savings Saturday: Walgreens Edition

I ended up going to Walgreens yesterday, and it's a good thing I did. Hot Coupon World was reporting that Fast Break Deodorant was producing $5RR even though it was priced at $2.99. I still had the freebie coupons that NBC gave out a few weeks, so this was a great opportunity to use those. This deal is already dead, unfortunately. =/

Fast Break Extreme Dry Powerstripe - $2.99
-2.99 Freebie coupon
OOP: 0.00 + 0.22 tax
Get $5RR back.

I did it twice, so I had $10 in Register Rewards to start today. I wanted to buy Splenda, and I had a ton of Edge Coupons. I lucked out and found spices and V8 Fusion on clearance too!

I didn't to all this at one store; I did it at three. And yes, I did ask one cashier to ring me up 5 Edge Shave Gels in separate, back-to-back transactions! She thought I was insane, but I didn't care much.

The $5RR from the Fast Break basically paid for my V8 & a new water pitcher, and I just paid out off pocket for the Splenda, Edge Gel & the spices - all of which were good deals. And that totally works for me.
