My trip today was to Walgreen's. Walgreen's has a great rewards program where if you buy an item that gives you Rewards Points. Those points add up and can be turned into dollars. The best part is they can be used on the same day same shopping trip just different transaction. So my first transaction was the sale on Cheerios. If you bought 3 boxes then you got 3000 bonus points. Regular price for Honey Nut Cheerios is $4.49 a box. The sale price is 3 boxes for $8.00. I had a coupon for $1.00 off one box of Honey Nut Cheerios. I used 3 coupons bringing my total to $5.00 dollars out of pocket with 3000 points added to my account. The next transaction was with cereal again. They have a deal on Kellogg Pop-tarts and Kellogg Cereals. Regular price for the cereal is $4.59 and Sale price with their rewards card is $1.67 for this week. I had coupons that were for $1.00 off one box of Kellogg Cereal bring the cost to .67 cents a box.. Now that is a great deal. Since you can use up to 4 like coupons per shopping trip I used all four. Then Pop-tarts are also on sale for $1.67 each and regular price on those is $3.29. I had a coupon for pop-tarts savings of .70 cents off one box of pop-tarts. That brought each box down to .97 cents a box. My total on the second transaction was $6.56 and I opted to use my 3000 points from my first transaction which took $3.00 off the total bringing down to $3.56. Total out of pocket for the entire trip was $8.56. My total trip is 11 items (4 boxes of Pop-tarts and 7 boxes of Cereal) Each item costing me .77 cents. Couponing in California is harder then in other states but If I can get items for under a dollar I am happy with that and that is what I consider as stock up item. :)
