Picked up another eight bottles of the OJ, three boxes of the Essentials pasta (from the Fall Fun book plus a BOGO cat PITA “found”), box ‘o beer with sausage, buns, 2L Squirt (penny promo)….plus two DiGiorno pizzas (buy beer get $5 off two DiGiorno)…Saga blue cheese (sale, no coupon). Total was about $26 after coupons for cheese (4.99), pizza ($7) and beer (12.99). Since it’s going into the rebate envelope, I’m not too worried about spending so much on groceries.

Then I paid a visit to one of the Walgreens participating in the National Library Card promotion. As I told you earlier, you should take your Estroven RRs and roll them into the blood glucose meters that are on sale for $10 with a $10 RR. Normally it would be a low-tax wash, but since I’m saving 15%, I have to be creative. In this case I found four of the Wags brand glucose tablets on clearance, which, since they were Wags brand gave me 20% discount AND there is a BOGO 50% off so each meter and two bottles ended up .70 OOP. Third and fourth transactions were meters and two giant candy bars (in-ad coupon 2/$2) which gave me OOP of .47.

And no, the irony of buying blood glucose meters and giant candy bars has not escaped me.
