Walgreens:

I've been running low on RR since I cashed out around Christmas and bought a bunch of junk. So, I had to start all over, really. The other day, I bought the Oscillococcinum Childrens 6 pack for $8.99 (used a $2 coupon) and the Theraflu that was $4.99, used a $4 coupon and got back $1, plus a $9 from the Oscillococcinum. I also received 2 coupons for FREE boxes of Breathe Right nasal strips

Yesterday, I went back in, bought Omega 3 Factor for $10 (used a $3 coupon from inside the box), Salonpas patches for $5, 2 boxes of Breathe Right (used the FREE coupons), and Pill Glide spray (monthly deal) for $5. I used the RR from the above shopping trip, paid $9.97 OOP, and got back a $10 RR for the Omega, $5 RR for the Salonpas, and $5 RR for the Pill Glide
