Register Rewards Well Spent

A few weeks ago I had $10 in RR (Register Rewards - Walgreen's money) about to expire.

There were no options to roll my RR's into another item that offers RR's.

There was nothing in the store that I needed or wanted.
(this happens when you shop a lot!)

I had no rain checks that I wanted to redeem.

So I decided to use my $10 in RR's to purchase two items that I would receive rebates for at the end of the month.

The Revlon lipstick sold for $10 with a $10 rebate, and the Garnier hairspray sold for $4 with a $4 rebate. I used a $2 coupon for the lipstick and a $1 coupon for the Garnier + my $10 RR.

Revlon lipstick: $10 - $2 coupon = $8
Garnier hairspray: $4 - $1 coupon = $3

Total = $11.

Pay $10 RR + $1 cash

I will receive $14 cash via a rebate check at the end of the month.

Absolutely a GREAT use of my RR's. I prefer cash to store credit!
