My deals here is a great example of how a Raincheck can come in handy! Back when the Accu-Check Aviva Meters were on sale for $9.99, they were out of stock at one of the stores I went to. So, I asked the manager for a Raincheck for 2 of them. In this week’s ad, they were $14.99 and with a $5.00 Register Reward with purchase. They were still out of stock earlier in the week, but yesterday they had them, yay! I’m normally not into multiple transactions, so I asked the manager if it was ok to do 2 transactions so that I could get a RR for each meter and he said that was fine. Thanks!

You’ll notice I also have a Cover Girl Simply Ageless Foundation in the picture I did this because I wanted to point out a great policy they have regarding their cosmetics. When I purchased the foundation, I wasn’t sure about the color and the cashier at the Cosmetics Counter told me to try it and if I didn’t like it, I could come back and exchange it for a different color. As it turns out, I tried it a couple times and decided the color didn’t work for me. So, I took it in and got the right color. Call me one happy customer! That’s the first time I ever exchanged makeup like that and it was a nice, hassle-free transaction, I didn’t even need my receipt. Thanks Walgreens!

This week, once again, I didn’t do hardly any shopping. I ended up with a stack of Register Rewards that all expired on the same day and I hadn’t been to Walgreens in awhile because I’d been sick for days. Finally not contagious and feeling partially human 😉 I was able to make it to Walgreens yesterday. They were wiped out of so many things, so I just concentrated on spending the Register Rewards I had and getting back to the comfort of my warm home and my snuggly throw. I ended up not quite spending all my RRs, so I had 2 transactions. The store I went to recently opened up, so they had a couple Grand Opening Specials which was very nice!
