Wow! Amazing shopping week!

June 7th, 2009 at 12:51 am

Well, I had 30 coupons for the Bayer meters this past week (which made them free and my state does not charge tax on these items so absolutely FREE!) and used every last one of them plus gave a few away to the cashiers who rang me up so they could also have $10 Walgreen money to spend. Smile

Including the Ecotrin I bought as a $2 moneymaker, I ended up with about $260 in Register Rewards!!! That is just amazing to me. I have never been a Walgreens shopper but I am pretty sure that this week has converted me! *lol* I will be giving away the meters to family members with diabetes as well as donating a load of them around town so nothing goes to waste.

I put a little money into the Emergency Fund this week:

FT JOB: $5.56
PT JOB: $143.30

Total EF: $4,981

    Wow! $260 is a lot of Register Rewards to have to spend in 2 weeks (if that's all they are still good for). I really liked their rebate program but was never thrilled with their RR just because of the quick expiration date.

    You'll really be able to stock up on OTC meds and other products with $260! Wow!

    Luckily I have 2 very friendly stores in my area that had no problem with ordering the meters for me, allowing separate transactions and also allowing me to use the RRs to purchase Walgreen GCs so I won't have to worry about spending that much money in 2 weeks. It is a win-win since I will still be spending the money at their store, just not as quickly. I know that many people do not have such nice stores and managers to deal with and I really think Walgreens should spend some resources to better train their stores on excellent customer service.

    Two of my sisters are pregnant right now and my best friend just had a baby in January so I think I'll be spending alot of that $260 on diapers and other baby items! Smile
