Back in the game =]

Yaaay! I finally caught up with getting Register Rewards! This trip was a big donation trip again, but honestly I just wanted to get rewards so I don't have to pay much in the future. Plus it was successful! I can't wait for you guys to see the Almay makeup deal!

I did 4 Transactions at one store, but it didn't take long at all because I was so organized and the cashier was so friendly. He kept saying he's coming shopping with me next time LOL. I love when the cashiers are so helpful and understanding.

Here was my trip. By the way I think I offically found my favorite Filler Item. If you don't know what a filler item is, here is an explanation. A register reward at Walgreens is a manufacturer coupon. So if I want to buy 1 item and it has a coupon for it already from the sunday paper or something, I can't pay with a register reward unless I have another item. This is the filler. Its a cheap cheap item you get so you can use your rewards to pay for items. And my stores are starting to get produce!! So my new filler is the .99 carrots! I love them. Our guinea pig loves carrots, so this helps us so much. He eats like one huge bag a week, and they cost the same at Publix, so we're saving money.




Transaction 1:
I just realized, they didn't scan my fourth Reach toothbrush coupon =[ But it is okay because I got $4 Register rewards even though I got the toothbrushes for free.
