There have been several times throughout my couponing "career" that I have needed to let this part of my life take the backburner. Each time I have a baby. Sometimes I get a little burned out. Sometimes I just need to use what I have!
Well, we have lived in our new state for 7 months now, my 2 oldest children are back in school after a CRAZY summer, and my 8 month old baby just started crawling!!!!

Isn't he the cutest ever?? I love that kid.
Anyways, every time I take a break from the deals and then I rediscover the awesomeness that is working the system, I remembered why I loved it so much! So couponing, I apologize for leaving you for so long! I am back. You are awesome.
After living off of our stockpile for the last 10 months or so, I am down to a lonely few bottles of shampoo and conditioner, and only 2 small packs of toilet paper.
Time to hit the sales!!!
Enter: Walgreens.
This is what I got today. I had ZERO coupons and no RR to start with.
The 12 packs of cottonelle are $5/each, and then there is a $1 walgreens coupon in the store = $4.
If you buy 2 packs, you get a $2 RR. If you buy 3 packs, you get a $3 RR.
AND, these little small travel containers of flushable wipes ALSO work for the RR deal!!!
My store had them for $1.29, but I've heard of some that have them for .99. if you can find the .99 ones and buy 3, then you get $3 in RR back = free!
I got the infusium shampoo and conditioner to "roll" my RR so I could buy more toilet paper.
Let me explain "rolling" for the newbies: At walgreens, you cannot use a Cottonelle RR to buy more Cottonelle and get another RR. They have put limits on them so people aren't greedy. BUT, if I have a RR that I earned from a shampoo, and use THAT on some toilet paper, then I will get a RR back. So rolling means,
buy toilet paper, get $3 in RR
buy shampoo using RR to pay, get $3 in RR from shampoo
buy more toilet paper using RR to pay, get $3 MORE in RR
rinse and repeat.
Infusium this week is $4.99, with $3 in RR. I had no coupons, but if you had some, that would have been an awesome deal!
And then at the end, I used some RR to buy some much needed milk.
Feels good to be back.
