Walgreens - Gotta Luv Free Stuff!

Walgreens was my favorite store this week!  That store had a blood glucose monitor that was $14.99 with a $14.99 mail in rebate in the box.  Added to that, I received a $5.00 register reward for purchasing it!  I was $5.01 ahead!  Colgate toothpaste was on sale for $2.99, and I ended up with a $3.00 register reward!  OK, so that makes $5.01 (less sales tax) that I made just for purchasing those two items!  I did not even need any coupons!   

Okay, so what am I going to do with the items?  The toothpaste is going into my stockpile, and the blood glucose monitor will probably go to a local organization that provides services to seniors citizens.  I am sure there is a senior in the county who needs a monitor.  :-)

As far as my stockpile in concerned, I have decided that I am going to determine the maximum quantity that I will stockpile for each item that I have obtained for free.  After that number is reached, I am going to donate the items.  I always create gift bags for at Christmas and give the bags to social workers to distribute to needy seniors, but the obtaining of free things will enable me to give things to seniors throughout the year.  Always be generous.
