My laptop crashed during my update. :( Everything should be posted correctly. I'll be working on a new layout shortly, so if things are a little wonky, that's why.

Another diaper deal at Walgreens this week. I have stacks of Huggies coupons and Dove coupons, so I was able to get everything for very low OOP. I plan to do a few more transactions this week (at three different stores, I do NOT clear shelves and don't care for those who do), but I wanted to post this early in the week!

Not bad, huh?! And I still have more coupons to use! The $2.00 Huggies coupons I got at my doctors office at my last appointment. The Walgreens $1.00 Huggies coupon is from the Walgreens $0.99 coloring book found in some stores. I never found it, so I'm borrowing it from a friend of mine! I have two $3.00 register rewards to roll over tomorrow as well. :)

The random items such as pencils, coloring books and gift bags are fillers. You have to have the same number of products as you do manufacturer's coupons in order not to get the dreaded 'beeps'. (RR's count as manufacturer's.) These were the cheapest items I could find. Check your Valentine's Day section for these items, here's a better picture...



And another tip, hand the Walgreens coupons over LAST!! Otherwise your manufacturer's coupons will beep and cause an annoying ordeal. Thankfully I didn't run into any problems. I usually avoid Walgreens RR deals, because it's frustrating when they don't print and managers give you every excuse in the book as to why. But I had to give it a shot this week.

Overall I spent $15.20 + tax out of pocket and received 5 packages of Huggies, 4 bottles of Dove body wash, a drink for work, a candy bar and variety of random fillers. Not bad. I didn't get the $1.00 Walgreens Huggies coupon until the last few Huggies deals, otherwise my OOP would have been cheaper. :)
