I had fun at Walgreens today. I had $36 RRs that were expiring today and tomorrow, so my goal was to use the RRs as well as earn more for next time. If you notice behind the Tampax and Theraflu, there are ugly green and black pillows.. I had to buy 7 filler items and the pillows were on clearance from Christmas – only $0.25 each. They are gross. Will donate them pronto.
I did a good job on savings today. I spent $3.36 and saved $92.84. That is 97% savings. And, I earned $13RRs to spend in the future as well as a $5.00 off any Revlon product coupon!

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
I got my first RRs last night, cool!
Yeah Cami! Good job! Now you need to try CVS and let me know what you think of it there!
