I Love a Bargain

At both stores I was able to almost break even, making as much in rewards as I spent, and that is always my goal, although I bought just a few things.

Walgreens
If you have Register Rewards to spend, your out of pocket will be even less, and if you don't, your spending will pretty closely match the amount of RR's you earn in this transaction:

buy Gillette Fusion razor $9.89
use $4 off any Fusion MQ
earn $5 in Register Rewards

buy Colgate Total toothpaste $3.49
use $1 off MQ
earn $3.50 in RR's

Total out of pocket - $8.38 + tax
earn $8.50 in Register Rewards

There are terrific deals on school/office supplies if your store is well-stocked (mine was out of most of the cheap deals already) so look through the ad.

CVS

buy Gillette Fusion razor $9.97
use $4 off MQ
earn $5 in EB's

buy Schick ladies razor Quattro or Intuition $8.99
use $4 off MQ
earn $4 in EB's

buy two single serving bags M&M's pretzel candy $1/2
use MQ for BOGO
50 cents for both and earn $1 Extra Bucks





Shop smart!
