*Walgreens had a coupon online for a $25 GC if you transfer your prescription, so I did to get the GC knowing I’d use it right away! I calculate this into my savings since I paid nothing for it.
**I also got $20 back in RR to spend on my next purchase for purchasing all the vitamins. And I will get the rebates I listed as well which total $17.15(including 2nd transaction). I made $22.42 off of this trip!
I will use the $20 in RR later to purchase free after MIR items from the Wags EasySaver book.
The Wags rebates can be loaded onto a giftcard and they will give you an extra 10% of your rebate!

(It should have been $1 less, but my $1 Reynolds q got misplaced. Apparently the girl have been reprimanded about coupons so I was only allowed to use 1 type of 1 per transaction…even though that’s not what the q states, I didn’t want the poor cashier to be yelled at. That’s why my stuff ended up in 2 transactions.
But the $1 balanced out since when I got home I realized that the girl at CVS took $5.99 for each Glade instead of the sale price of $5.49. It worked out for me but the store is 30 min away and I’m not going back for $1!)
