My WAGS Haul!

So today was my first time making a major trip to Wags (Walgreens) for Register Rewards. I haven't done it because there was nothing I needed and it seemed that it was only on toothpaste which I have plenty of thanks to Shanna when she came out in November. There is also another reason why I haven't gone to Wags, even though I really should. First, I can't find anything and second, it seems that all the ladies that work there are CRAZY! Last night the lady checking me out was totally TMI! Okay, so maybe the crazy ladies only work at night because when I went this late morning the manager was really nice.

So, here are all my many transactions, how did I do?

Transaction 1:
Vitamin Shampoo: $3.99-SALE (reg. $6.99)

Transaction 12:

Tylenol Allergy Multi-Sympton 7.99reg

$1 off MFGC for each item
Total paid $13.70
got back $5RR
(should have added in a small item to be able to use another RR, but didn't remember it. I will for next time. I give myself a little break since it was my first time. I'm learning as I go.)

Transaction 14:
2 Maybelline Great Lash Mascara 2/$8

$4RR
$1.76 off-50% off Maybelline products
Total paid $2.77
got back a RR for a FREE Maybelline mascara up to $4.79

Transaction 15:
Garnier Fructis Dryness Hair Treatment $3.99 SALE (think reg. is about $6.99 or more)
M&Ms .50 (now I remembered to add in a small item, well the manager helped. She was ringing me up. She said that the computer would only print out the RR if I didn't use a $4RR and I wanted my RR plus to use one so I added the M&Ms. Some other Garnier Fructis products are on RR as well. I remember seeing different aersol hairsprays.)

$4RR
Total paid .85
got back a $2RR
(I think this was my favorite transaction of the day. Maybe I'll go back for more..I will need Dryness hair treatments especially when winter hits)

Transaction 16:
2 .5oz Neosporin $5.99 each
M&Ms .50

2MFGC $1 off Neosporin
$10RR
Total paid: $1.51
got back a $4RR

I added up the Total Savings from the bottom of the receipts and it came out to be $130.43
I have $47 of RR coupons left!! Plus the FREE mascara up to $4.79.
I put $96.04 on my card, but I have basically $47 to spend again at Walgreens. (Think I added everything up correctly, I do have a wiggly, crabby baby on my lap) Ohh...the possiblities on what to get seem endless. I'll have to look to see what I actually need. Since I have so many I could actually get some reg. priced items that I want. I wish I could have used more RR on the purchases that I made, so what actually went on my bank card would have been less, but no total was over $15. I'll remember for next time to add little cheap things into some of the transactions so I will have a better chance of the computer taking my RR.
