Ten Dollar Bill Y’all
May 27th, 2008
Ever wonder how far a dollar will really go with a bit of effort? Well while I could do some extreme math and show you how far a dollar really goes (and might later this week) right now the only thing I have to show is a trip to Walgreens I made a couple months ago. I made three transactions to use the register rewards from one to help pay for the next. Two lovely ladies at the makeup counter were more than willing to entertain me. I could have paid less, but I forgot a coupon. It would have made the total 2.50 less. My total out of pocket was 11.46.
I bought:
2 x RX Essentials for arthritis
2 x Doublemint gum
4 x Juicy Fruit gum
4 x Extra gum
4 x Aveeno lotion
2 x Planter’s Trail Mix
1 x Airwick Freshmatic
2 x Airwich Freshmatic minis
1 x Glade Oil Candle Holder
4 x Glade Oil Candle Refills
1 x Venus disposable razors
1 x Aqua Fresh toothpaste
And had at least 6.00 in rebates from the Glade, Airwick, and toothpaste. I’ve learned alot since then and have many more great shopping trips. I do plan on starting to photograph a few more just to illustrate how easy it is and how much you can get for so little.
