Kmart & Fry's - Cost of $2.24!

I absolutely loathe Kmart, but I am LOVING their double coupons this week! I stopped in yesterday to see if they had restocked - they did! I was able to get a lot of the freebies I missed out on when I went on Monday. The deals were so great, I may have to make one more trip before the double coupon event ends on Saturday!

I would like to note that I HAD to buy LaLa's tortillas because that's the kind we like and we were out of them. So, without the tortillas and tax, I would have only spent 1.92 for 16 items.

WALGREENS
Transaction #1-
.82 Edge shave gel - clearance
.05 tax
.87 total - paid with Walgreens rebate giftcard
Some notes-
1. The shave gel was marked at 2.49, but rang up at 82 cents!
2. I thought I was going to get a $3RR (to pay for my next transaction) for buying Edge shave gel, but it didn't print. I called the Catalina company and left a message, so we'll see what happens. Either way, 87 cents is pretty good for shave gel.
Cost $.87, possible profit of 2.13 if Catalina company sends me RR

*The Quaker cakes rang up at 1.99 each, but I didn't realize it until I had already paid. I went back to customer service and found out they forgot to take the sale tag down from last week's sale. So, they gave me one free at 1.99 and one half off at .99. I didn't ask them for this deal, they just gave it to me. All in all, I paid $1.87, but got a refund of $3.03!

Profit of $1.16

I could have done this a lot cheaper with less out of pocket, but I needed to use all the RR I earned from the Glucerna deal last week. All in all, it was a pretty good haul. I might go back later this week for more shave gel and Softsoap. I just can't pass up a free deal. :)
