Walgreens Challenege - Change in my Pocket

I usually never plan my Walgreens transactions, and I rarely roll them. I decided to try today, so I challenged myself to using only the money in pocket, and not my debit card. I started out with $6.00 cash, and $8.50 in Register Rewards from last week.

Transaction #1

Colgate Max White Toothbrush
$3.29 - $1/1 coupon = 2.39
Kleenex
$0.89 - with IVC
- 3.00 RR from Edge/Skintimate
$0.49 OOP
Received $3.50 RR from Colgate

Transaction #2

Skintimate Shave Gel
$2.99
- 2.00 RR from Chapstick
$1.21 OOP
Received $3.00 RR from Skintimate

Transaction #3
Colgate Max Fresh Toothbrush
$3.29 - $1/1 coupon = 2.39
Kleenex
$0.89 - with IVC
- 3.00 RR from Edge/Skintimate
$0.49 OOP
Received $3.50 RR from Colgate

Transaction #4

Colgate Max White Toothbrush
$3.29 - $1/1 coupon = 2.39
Kleenex
$0.89 - with IVC
Walgreens 18 count Soup Spoons
$0.25 {Clearance!}

- 2.00 RR from Chapstick

$1.76 OOP
Received $3.50 RR from Colgate

Transaction #4

Ink Cartridge Refill
$10.00
Ravinia Flat Elastic x2
$0.40 {Clearance!} = $0.80

- (3) $3.50 RR

$1.10 OOP

Total Cost: $5.05

I still have one $3.50 RR, and I'll be getting back $7.50 from the Easy Saver rebate on the Ink Cartridge.

And, yes, I kind of messed up the fourth transaction. I forgot I was using a $1 coupon on the toothbrush, and I meant to use another $2 RR from Chapstick, which would have been $0.71 OOP, but oh well.
