Meijer and Wags shopping trips 7/31/2011

First off, let me say, I've never been a huge fan of Wags. I don't know why.... maybe it's just because the register rewards confused me. I think I've got the hang of it now though.

I went in for one thing and one thing only. Toilet paper. Meijer had it on sale for $12.99 for 24 rolls of Charmin (usual brand) but Wags had 12 rolls of Cottonelle for $5.00/ea. B2G$3.50 register reward. I had 2 $.75 off coupons for 1 pack of 12 rolls. The register was being dumb, but the cashier was awesome and put them through manually. Plus in the Wags coupon book, there was a $1.00 off store coupon (which went through 2x). I got 24 rolls of TP for $7.10 (including sales tax) + $3.50 RR. So it was lke paying $3.60 for 24 rolls of Cottonelle! That's $.15/roll!! Very excited!!
