Walgreens Trip - Almost all free!!!

I went to Walgreen's today and thanks to the newest Olay Mail-in Rebate, I had a net cost of only $1.61. I did it in 2 transactions and checked out at the cosmetics counter. The associate and manager were both very helpful. Originally I was going to do 3 transactions, but worked the scenario out cheaper with just 2. Here's how I did it.

Transaction #1
Gillette Venus Breeze Razor - $9.99 ($2 Manu C)
Olay Body Wash - $5.29 (Free with Razor C)
Olay Body Wash BOGO 50% off - $2.64 ($1 Manu C)
Hershey's Miniatures 19.75 oz & Reese's 19.75 oz - $8/2 ($2 Manu C)
2 - Twizzler's - $3/2
Valentine's Cup - $.39 (needed a filler to use 3 RR's)
Tax $1.19
Total $20.91
Used $9 in RR and $11.21 cash
Received $5 RR from the candy (Buy $10 Hershey's or Twizzler's) & $4 from the Razor

Transaction #2
Gillette Venus Breeze Razor - $9.99 ($2 Manf C)
Olay Body Wash - $5.29 (Free with Razor C)
Valentine's Cup - $.39 (needed a filler to use a RR)
Tax $1.02
Total $9.40
Used $5 in RR (from candy above) and $4.40 cash
Received $4 from the Razor

Total Spent $15.61 and $9 RR. Now have $8 in RR.
Sending a $15 MIR to olay for the 3 body washes. (http://www.olay.com/)

Net cost $1.61 and I have treats for my boys and husband. So even though the entire trip wasn't a money maker, the razors and body wash part was. Not too shabby!

** Please note, I'm temporarily without a digital camera. I will post pictures at a later time.
