Cost of rolling $32 in RR = $9.74 :(

My Zyrtec $5 RRs all caught up with me today & I had to make a choice. Do I just spend the RR on diapers or a DVD? Or do I attempt to roll them? I rolled them... at a cost of $9.74. Was it worth it? I don't know... it seems like a high cost to me.

3.50 Crest toothpaste (2)
.20 hair accessory (filler)
7.20 subtotal
-.75/1 Crest MQ (2)
5.70 subtotal + .58 tax
Paid with $5 RR + 1.28 cash
Received $5 RR
SUMMARY = Cost $1.28

I repeated this transaction 4 more times. Then, I bought...

5.99 Glade sense & spray
2.00 Glade candle (2)
.20 hair accessory (filler)
10.19 subtotal
-4/1 Glade IPQ
-2/1 Glade IPQ (2)
2.19 subtotal + .82 tax
Paid with $2RR + 1.01 cash
Received $3RR ($2RR sense & spray, $1RR candles)
SUMMARY = Cost .01

2.00 Glade candle (2)
1.99 Carefree
4.00 clearance Tylenol (2)
.20 hair accessory (filler)
14.19 subtotal
-2/1 Glade IPQ (2)
-1/1 Carefree MQ
-2/1 Tylenol MQ (2)
5.19 subtotal + 1.14 tax
Paid with $5RR + 1.33 cash
Received $3RR ($2 carefree, $1RR candles)
SUMMARY = 3.33 cost
I was expecting a $5RR from the Tylenol, but it didn't print out. I realized that I paid with a $5RR from the Zyrtec deal - which was distributed by McNeil. McNeil also distributes Tylenol. Darn it! I should have made a profit of $1.67! Oh well. I met a super nice cashier at the beauty counter who gave me coupons she had and did 7 seperate transactions for me. She was so nice! I wish all the Wags cashiers were as helpful as she was!
