For the past month or so, I've been playing the "Drugstore Game." What is the Drugstore Game, you ask? It's a "game" where one takes advantage of the rebate programs offered by major drugstore chains like Walgreens and CVS. When played successfully, a drugstore game shopper can walk away with items that cost pennies to nothing.
I have heard that CVS is a better chain to "play" the game with, as their rules with their Extra Cash Bucks are less stringent than Walgreens with their Register Rewards... but I decided to play the game with Walgreens as it is a bigger and easier store to get to here in Gloucester. And I can walk to it with Anna in her stroller.
Anyways, I am experimenting for at least 6 months to see how much I actually save while playing the drugstore game. At the end of my experiment, I plan on posting exactly what I bought, what my out of pocket expenses totaled up to be, and what I saved.
I had to share today's adventure though, because it was quite exciting. I had $2 in Register Rewards leftover from my last Walgreen's trip, and coupled with coupons, I got the above items for...... 19 cents! Plus $2 Register Rewards for my next trip!
The total for the two boxes of crackers on sale would have been $6! So my out of pocket expenses were $.19 and my total savings with my candy bar filler were $6.50.
