Wanted to make sure this all worked well, so only ran six transactions; I’ll pick up more at the end of the week, to roll more of the Almay RRs.  My total OOP was $7.34, for which I got 12 Colgate Total, 2 Gain and 10 Nips (this is for my Mom, so hang the expense).  I spent $34 in RRs and got back $24.  Everything was high tax. Obviously, were I doing this to reduce my OOP, I would be taking something like the .15 Easter pencils as a filler, but my Mom likes Nips and we don’t need pencils.  That said, that scenario would be more like:  $6 Colgate + .60 (4 pencils or other item food? for .50) less $1.50/1 coupon and $5 Almay = .1 plus high tax.

Check your local Walgreens for clearance items. There was a selection of 2.24 hair color and also this “clearance-priced” dried fruit; 2/$3 or 2/$2.98.
