Super Savings Saturday: Walgreens

I made it to Walgreens this week and picked up some baby wipes, diapers, and eos chapstick.  I was charged wrong for the baby wipes so my out of pocket total was a little more than it should have been.  The specific wipes I picked up were supposed to be $2.00, but ended up ringing up at $2.49, and I bought two packs.  Oh well.

Here’s the breakdown:

$12.00 for two packs of Walgreens brand diapers
$4.98 for two packs of Walgreens brand baby wipes
$2.99 for eos chapsticks (my favorite!)
– (2) $9.00 Register Rewards I had from last week’s deals
=$1.97 out of pocket plus tax

I did get back a $2.00 Register Reward for the eos chapstick (it’s $2.99, get back a $2.00 Register Reward for buying it), and I also got a $3.00 Register Reward for spending $15 on Walgreens brand products (the diapers and wipes).  Overall, because I used the Register Rewards I had from last week’s deals, I saved a significant amount of money.  The bad news is that I used $18 worth of Register Rewards, and I only got back $5 worth.

On a side note, I simply can not wait until I no longer have to buy diapers. David is almost two, and I’m hoping he’ll be potty trained by 2.5 years old. I don’t like to draw out potty training, if necessary.  With Isaac, I let him know that we were going to start potty training and explained what he needed to do.  We put underwear on him, and he had many accidents the first few days (we kept re-enforcing that he needed to tell us when he needed to go), and then he realized that in order for the accidents to stop, he would actually have to tell us when he needed to go potty.  He was potty trained in about a week this way.

Oh, and please forgive the lack of a relevant picture.  I didn’t get one taken before I opened some things.  Sorry!

How did you do this week?  Did you make a stop at Walgreens?
