The Osteo Bi-Flex deal came out all weird. I think when it's a BOGO deal, the Walgreens coupon book doesn't take off for the free product. The manager explained it was BOGO on the price after the Walgreens coupon was taken off. I ended up paying $0.99 for each box. After so many weeks of couponing high, it slowed down really quick. Very slow week.

Apparently the Carefree deal was $1 +UP reward on each purchase. I reached the limit after 4. There's a lot of shoes and summer toys on 75% off clearance. Bought $13.88 worth of merchandise for $2.96 OOP and ended with $9 +UP reward. It's always a gamble going to the store at the end of the sale week because you could end up with nothing and have to get rainchecks and you miss out on the +UP rewards. But I did alright.
