WOO HOO!!! Walgreens !

I have to admit...Walgreens has really been playing hard ball with CVS lately. I've only shopped at CVS once (this week) in the last month but I've practically lived at Walgreens.

And this week's mid-week circular is just icing on the cake, especially the "earn $5 Register Rewards when you spend $25" deal. Be sure to view the deals here.

Today I shopped at three different stores and did four different transactions. At the beginning of the week I had planned a trip from the regular weekly circular but did not prepare a list/coupons for the mid-week circular. My trip was kind of on the fly. So the only coupons I had were for the Nabisco, Chinet and Triaminic deals. I didn't use coupons on any other items.

NOT BAD!!!

The Neutrogena, Stim U Dent, and Bananagrams will be stocking stuffers for hubby. The other kiddie things, hair brushes and lip balm will go in a couple of bags I'm stuffing for kids that attend Shidler Elementary School in the innercity. And all the contact solution and feminine products will be donated.

How did you do this week?
