Rolling @ Wags!

Finally a week full of freebies that I need! No toothpaste! I had fun today stopping at different Walgreens - rolling my RRs! Don't worry, I didn't clean out any stores, there are quite a few between my house and the mall (needed to spend my GymBucks and get free undies from Victoria's Secret). Here's what I did to roll my RRs:

Transaction #1:

6 Unilever products (Vaseline lotion, trial sized Dove deos or clearance Degree deos)

used whatever Qs I had left in my stash - $1 Vaseline Qs, $1 Dove Qs or $1.50/2 Dove cat Qs, or .75 Degree Qs.

Usually worked out to about $4.50 oop. Get $6 RR and about $6 towards free ham/turkey rebate

Transaction #2:

1 Chapstick

1 Edge Shave Gel

1 Scunci elastics

Used $6 RR from above, paid $1.40 oop (on gift card) and got $2 RR, $2 RR and $3 RR.

Then at the next Wags - use 2 $2 RRs to start the whole process over again.

I also picked up some Hershey's Bliss (used $1 printables here or here to get these for $1 each). I actually bought 4 in hopes of qualifying for the $5 ESR.

Be on the lookout for the clearance Bic Soleil razor refills - these are marked down to $1.79 each and you can use the $1 EasySaver Q on them (it says disposible Soleils, but works for the refill packs, just not the actual shaver packs). I can never seem to find cheap/free razor refills and the landfill is filling up with all of the starter packs I have.

Also, finally picked up my free Glade soy candles - these don't smell that awesome. Bummer! And my free Mentos gum!

I found the clearance Axe at one of the stores, so bought 2, used 2 $1 Qs, paid .98 and got $3 RR.

Mercedes at Common Sense with Money has a great post about the details of all the Wags fun this week - check it out here.

I personally do not like buying lots of filler items and doing tons of transactions, so I kept it easy by just doing 2 transactions at each store that I stopped at. Can you tell that it's my Mom's Day Out Day? It's a lot easier to run in with only an infant!

Getting Back to the Deals!

I am moved! Here are my first few trips to Kroger and one to good ol' Walgreens:
