All of this for $3.03!

This is why I love coupons so much....



I just did my weekly Rite Aid and Walgreens run, and between the 2 stores I got ALL of this stuff for $3.03.

Yup. Now, I paid out of pocket $28.48 for it all, but I'll be getting back $22.45 in rebates. Plus I still have a $2 Register Reward to use at Walgreens next week, and a $1 +UP Reward to use at Rite Aid. (And all the rebates are done online - one submssion, no stamps, no forms). Easy Cheesy.

How long did it take me? - Besides the actual shopping time I'd say I spent about 30 min. preparing my list and gathering my coupons - okay, and a couple of minutes extra afterwards setting up my pretty display. All of this would have cost $69.49 retail. So basically I just save myself over $60 in less than an hour's worth of time. So when people ask me "Is it really worth the time?" and "Can you really save that much?", I simply tell them "YUP!"

2 Gain dishwashing liquids;
1 Garnier shampoo;
1 Garnier conditioner;
1 John Frieda conditioner;
1 V05 shampoo;
2 Nature's Bounty Vitamin D; and
