Goetz Cow Tales $.29 filler

Subtotal: $.48, used $3 EOS & $2 Aleve RRs

You may have noted that I had to add a filler even though I had 9 items and 9 Qs. I walk into a store w/ a clear plan in mind and had my scenario calculated to the exact cent … I’m still confused as to why my $2 RR wouldn’t scan until I added another item.

I still have a few of the register rewards from two weeks ago, so I was able to get all of this for $1.69 oop, and come home with another $3 RR.  I was feeling very good.

Oscar Meyer lunch meat was $2.50 – $1 MFG Q.

Huggies Diapers 2/$18 – used 2 $3 MFG (and got the $3 rr)

Comet Cleanser 2/$1

Mandarin oranges 2/$1

Was going through coupons and realized the $10 off 300 ct. Wal-Zyr Q I printed from the WAG website expired today!

It was worth the quick trip. With the Wal-Zyr and six boxes of 19-cent Royal Gelatin as fillers, I spent $1.13 oop and saved $40.86. (I used five $5 Hydro RRs and 1 EOS RR.)
