I went to 2 Jewels & 2 Walgreens's on the hunt for what I wanted to get...
At the 1st Walgreens I got ONE Nivea Lip Care product... $0.99 w/ $1Q = $0.08 in tax
They gave me a raincheck for 7 more since they were out of them (I have 10 Q's... I think I might go to a different Walgreens & get a raincheck for the remaining 3....)
The 1st Jewel had nothing, & the 2nd Walgreens had nothing...
The 2nd Jewel put out more Charmin TP right when I got there which was great because that was why I went there!!!
So I did their P&G $30 & get $10 back deal... They were out of Bounty so I had to improvise, & If you know me, you know I'm bad at improvisation! Here's what I got
2 12pks of Charmin Double Rolls ($6.99ea) ($0.25Q) ($13.73)
3 20ct Cascade Dishwasher Detergent ($3.99ea) ($0.50Q) ($11.47)
4 Pringles Super Stacks ($1.50ea) ($1.40Q) ($4.60)
Total $31.74 w/tax - $24 in Catalina's and RRs = $7.74 OOP and $10 Catalina Back
So now I've spent $40 total in the past 2 days and have $10 to use on another purchase.
I don't feel like this is the best I could have been doing yet considering I won't have to buy TP or Dishwasher Detergent for 4 months I guess I can't be totally down on myself :P

The Official start of my Super Couponing!
So here we go:
I went to Walgreens yesterday & of course they were out of EVERYTHING I wanted & had coupons for, what a way to get me down! So I got 1 thing of EOS lip balm, spent $3.22 with tax & got back $3 in Register Rewards (RRs). Then I went over to Jewel & got 13 (yes 13 yikes) Hunt's snack packs ($0.88ea), 6 boxes of Mrs. T's Pieorgies ($3.49 BOGO, w/ $1 Q off each one) and 1 International Delight Coffee Creamer ($0.99, w/ $0.55Q) So my total was $16.35 plus tax - $3 in RRs = about $13.50 (I lost my receipt what a shame :/)
Today I went back to Walgreens because I was told they'd have the razors I wanted back in, & they did!
So I bought 3 (in seperate transactions) Schich Hydro 5 razors $7.99 - $4Q =$4.16 ea & got back $4 in RRs ea... so $12.48 & got back $12. Then we headed over to Jewel again for frozen meals...
Could have done better here but I couldn't focus due to a crabby baby throwing a fit :/
1st Transaction:
2 Healthy Choice Frozen Meals ($2ea) ($1Q)
1 Healthy Choice Steamer Frozen Meal ($2.50ea) (2 - $1Qs)
2 Marie Callenders Frozen Meals ($2.50ea)
3 Hunts Snack packs (i know why the hell did I buy more of these? because I needed to reach $25 in participating ConAgra products to get my $10 Catalina to print out!) ($0.88ea)
Total: $11.28 - $8 in RRs (where I should have used a $10 cat but I was distracted) $3.28
2nd Transaction:
6 Healthy Choice Frozen Meals ($2ea) (2 - $1Qs & 1- $0.50Q)
1 Hunts Snack Pack ($0.88)
Total: $10.51 - $10 Catalina (again I screwed up, I had another $0.50Q I couldn't use here because I wouldn't have been able to use the $10 Cat... I should have used the Cat on the 1st transaction and the RRs on the second... ah live and learn!) $0.51
Total spent out of pocket : $33
Total Catalina's/RR's in my pocket $24...
NET $9 spent on all that stuff above... wow, not 1/2 bad if I do say so myself!!!

Meijer resolved!
I spoke with the customer service manager at my Meijer this morning and it turns out that sometimes it IS worth it to fight for something! She was extremely nice and helpful. The 1st problem, the $5 catalina that didn't print out on my second transaction, was a glitch and it should have printed so $5 for me cha-ching. And the fake policy the person I talked to that saturday "you can't use that Cat on your next transaction, you have to wait 24 hours" was indeed a lie, and she will be spoken to about that and her attitude, so win #2. AND she is giving me an additional $5 for my frustration (doesn't sound like much, but it isn't the money, its the principle) So I have a $10 Meijer GC! yahoo for me! I feel like my problem was well resolved and I can now shop at Meijer again without feeling like a hypocrite... very exciting!
