I embarked on a flash-like crusade today to see what I could get for not much moolah - and thanks to mjrube for the tip about Walgreens rebates this month. I got $25.14 worth of stuff for $2.36 (okay, $2.75 if you count the stamp I need to mail in my rebate).
I want to post a picture but am somewhat impaired on posting pics...any help??
Here is what I bought:
2 cans of mandarin oranges, $.99 on sale for $.39 each with in-store coupon
5 boxes of Royal gelatin, $.69 on sale for $.20 each with in-store coupon
3 packages of Kotex, $3.49 each, $3 in coupons used, $10 rebate = -$2.53
1 bottle Sunsilk conditioner (not a brand I have ever used, but it's free!), $4.49, free after rebate
1 bottle children's shampoo off the clearance rack, $2.19 (impulse buy, but it was on my "needs" list)
Total spent: $17.30, but I should get $14.94 back
Yea!!!!
yea for flash! yea for mjrube! and yea for me!

Also, if you have an Eckerd, Duane Reade, Rite Aid, and/or Drug Fair by you, they all run similar rebate programs. I've only actually done Eckerds and Rite Aid's. You can see all the deals on their websites, so you don't even have to go into the store! Eckerds tacks on the 10% bonus, Riteaid lets you submit them online so you save the stamp!

Now, I really need to remember these rebates ... I live right across the street from a Rite Aid and less than a block from Eckerds.
No excuse except for the fact that I forget about them.
Thanks for being such an inspiration!
Love,
