Walgreens - Mmmm free chocolate

I didn't think the deals were too great at Wags this week, but after realizing I had $16 in Register Rewards expiring Saturday I figured I needed to make a serious plan. So I got free chocolate! And I have to make more plans for the rest of the week since those silly Holiday RR may only be used one at a time...

Trip #1
2 Russell Stover 6.7 Private Reserve Luminary (picture below if you are a visual shopper like me) @ $4.99 = $9.98
2 DeMet's Turtles 3.5 oz $.99 (I only bought 2 because I had two coupons and was getting profit on each)
3 Christmas TakeOut Boxes (so that my total would be more than $5 and I could use an RR) Buy 2 get 1 free = $3.98

Total = $15.94

Coupons:
$4.99 = BOGO Russell Stover Reserve from paper
$1 off Russell Stover from paper
2 - $1.50 off DeMet's Turtles ($.51 overage each) from paper

Out of Pocket: $6.95 + tax (minus $5 RR)
Rebate Received: $11.00 (#53 in the ESC, buy 2 RS get $10 + 10% gift card bonus)
Profit: $4.05
If you like Olay products, Olay Regenerist is buy one get one for 50% off this week. Their cheapest product is $7.49. You could buy two of those, use the $5 coupon from this Sunday's paper and turn in your receipt for a $15 gift card rebate for an $8.76 profit. However, after a little investigation I found out the $15 gift card is for the purchase of more Olay products. So if you like Olay, great deal, if you just like it because it's free...well, I don't think we could technically call this free.
