My First Walgreens Run

I have recently become interested in "extreme couponing". Next week I'll be taking a class but I've already purchased a binder and supplies. It's super fun! Last night daughter Caroline and I set out with coupons and a list and made our way to the nearest Walgreens. When we got there we discovered something interesting about this Walgreens...

It was actually a CVS. I really should have confirmed that before heading out. When you live in a small, rural town you don't just run out to do errands. With things so far away, you have to plan your outings.

Thankfully we were in the Big City of Ann Arbor, so it didn't take too long to find a Walgreens that wasn't a CVS. We ended up purchasing $50.50 worth of goods for $14. That means we saved $36.50!

To use a visual aid, the items in the back row add up to $14. That means I got all of the items in the front two rows for free...
