A big thank you to the reader who realized that the Pepsi products are cheaper at Kmart right now instead of Pierces.
Kmart: 12 packs are 4/$10.

Walgreen's Warning
After a quick run to Walgreen's yesterday I want to give everyone a warning...
Do not use the $3 Register Reward that you may have from purchasing the Schick Hydo shaving cream (was free after reward two weeks ago) to buy the Skintimate shave gel that is free this week.
They are made by the same company (despite the fact that the Skintimate does not say "Schick" anywhere on it) and the register will not print the new reward for the Skintimate.
I tried to do this and the manager had to void and re-run the transaction so I could get the reward.
Learn from my blunder!

A Reader Success Story at Walgreens
Thanks to Vicki for letting me in on her shopping trip- you rocked the deals for sure. And to everyone else, feel free to share your success stories anytime by emailing me and I will feature it here!
Hey there, I just thought I’d reply to all those times your blog says, “How’d you do at Walgreens this week?” even though you didn’t ask this week:)
I shouldn’t really be so excited about my trip to WAGS today since I didn’t use or receive any RR and my out of pocket was still 10 bucks but still…it was a messy coupon scenario so I wasn’t positive it would work how i thought it would but it even turned out better than I’d hoped.
I had planned to go to Pardeeville to Piggly Wiggly since they’re milk and qualifying Nabisco cookies are on sale for $1.99 each but couldn’t justify the trip with so few other good deals there this week…glad I went to Walgreens instead cause it ended up not being $.70 more than the Pig, instead it was $.40 less! $3.68 for a gallon of milk and 2 full size pkgs of oreos!
I’m not sure if it’s a system glitch or what but their monthly coupon book coupon says $1 off wyb Nabisco cookies and a gallon of milk. I got two cookies cause the second was free with a different coupon I had. But the Walgreens coupon took off $2 even though I only got one milk…a nice surprise!
PURCHASED:
1 gallon milk $2.69
2 pkg oreos $3.99ea
2 kelloggs cereal $1.99ea
4 3pk scotch brite sponges $3.99ea(i'm pretty single pks would be free at walmart but we go thru lots so its worth it to have 1 for a buck)
1 gallon distilled water for a filler item $1.19
pre coupon total = 31.80
COUPONS USED:
Wags Q: $1off wyb oreo & 1gallon milk (two oreos purch so it took off $2)
Wags Q: BOGO scotchbrite sponges
Wags Q: 1 gallon distilled water = $.79 so $.40off
$1 off 2 pkg oreos
$1.50 off 2 kelloggs cereal
$1off 1scotch brite sponge (used 4)
$1 off milk wyb 1 kelloggs cereal
Buy 1 gallon milk & 1 pkg oreo get 1 pkg oreo free
($21.87 in coupons)
after coupon total = $9.93
Also, i don’t usually look this close but was pleasantly surprised to see that sales tax is charged on the after coupon total not before like I would’ve guessed.
like william shatner says on his cheesy priceline commercials, i love to speak the language of the deal:)

My Frugal Failure
I'm going to fess up to you all. Even experienced couponers have an off day.
I went to Walgreens today to get a couple things. Everything was rung up and I realized I had forgotten my Register Rewards and cash!
Normally, I am ok with telling them to void the transaction, but of course I had one item that I really needed. I went ahead with the purchase- breaking my self-imposed rule and put it on the check card. (oh, the horror!)
Now of course I have to go back again this week since the rewards are expiring in a couple days!
I am sharing this to show you that no one is perfect in this couponing world. Don't be so hard on yourself and learn from your mistakes. There is always tomorrow!
(To make matters worse, I dropped off the videos after Walgreen's only to realize that I forgot to grab the one in the DVD player. So much for combining errands to save gas today:( )

Kwik Trip Bread
I noticed at Kwik Trip today that the 1 # loaf of white bread is only $0.59!!
All other specialty bread and buns are only $0.79.
Looks like a good time to stock up and freeze the bread!
