I *Really* Heart Walgreen's! 1/26/10

All This for  $194.91 $24.27!

Seriously, this is one of my best Walgreen's days *ever*!  It wasn't just the amount saved, (87%-I'll get to that in a minute), but the type and quantity of items I got today.  Included in all this (the photo is awful, sorry, I had to use my cell phone camera because the digital one isn't working), are 3 packs of Huggies Diapers which just for those would have cost more than I paid for everything you see there (even buying them on sale this week), along with 8 packs of shavers which are normally $7.50 each.

Here's how it went down:  I walked in to the first Walgreen's (I have 2 I consider "local" - one near my husband's workplace and one right near home), with a $10 Register Reward from the Pepsi/Tostitos deal.  My goal in this store was to pay less than $5/pack on the Huggies diapers.  But first I had to spend $10 RR.  I could have gone straight for the diapers and used the $10, but I decided to get a bunch of other stuff super cheap or free.
