Bonus on Kleenex

I got my Kleenex coupons today. Remember these coupons cost me $10 for twenty of them. They were for $1/1 box of Kleenex. Walgreens has Kleenex on sale for $.89 this week. So I got 20 boxes of Kleenex and I paid $.01. Plus Walgreens has an unadvertised RR on Kleenex. Buy 5, Get $1 RR, Buy 6 Get $1.50 RR, Buy 7 Get $2 RR. So I paid .01 in total and got back $4.50 in RR (I did a few transactions). So if you take into account what I paid for the coupons, I paid $5.50 for 20 boxes of Kleenex. That is $0.27 a box! We go through a lot of kleenex in our house. Those 20 boxes will probably last us a month.

I did discover that different Walgreens handle coupons differently. I went to the Walgreens on Palm Valley and the cashier told me she could not take my coupons for $1 off because they were only $.89. I was about to just go to another Walgreens (The Walgreens I went to in Austin just took the coupons with no question). She called the manager and he adjusted the price so that it would be even. As long as I didn't have to pay, I am fine. The ad said there was a limit of 6. Most stores do not enforce this, but the manager at the Palm Valley store did. However, he let me multiply transactions to get more. Now does that make since to you? Anyway, I used $2 in RR to get some wax paper for the birthday cake I am making tonight.
