Here is my shopping plans for the weekend. I am starting with a few RR (Walgreens), only 7.50 in ECB (CVS) and a TON of UP+ ($48 to be exact!!) from Rite Aid.
I have a few questions :) I have checked out your website a few times but I have a hard time understanding the spreadsheets. I love spreadsheets and I think that this would make it much easier to figure out what you are getting at the store but are you doing all your stuff in one transaction or are you just not listing the different transactions? I have had a heck of a time with CVS this week and I was hoping to look at yours and be magically transformed into a better plan for me :) On another note, I had $54 UP rewards for Rite Aid last week and decided to get the papers, eggs, and milk there so that I didn't have any out of pocket expenses. It was a good way to use up some of the UP rewards and I still got the discount so it ended up being cheaper then the grocery store anyway. Just a thought to stay under budget and use those hard earned UP rewards :)
I do 1 transaction per store usually. If I do more than 1 it will say "Walgreens transaction 1" or Walgreens transaction 2. I found that the headache of trying to do 3 transactions was too much. I paid a bit more in the beginning to start, but it is SO worth it in my opinion.
Also, if you don't have the grocery store spreadsheet that I use, email me at moolasavingmom@yahoo.com and I will send it to you. I am currently reworking the drug store one, but I hope to have it available soon.
Great job on the $54 UP! I do the same thing if I have rewards that are expiring and need to roll. Today I got some paper plates @ Walgreens to use up $1 in RR. We needed the paper plates to go with the hot deal @ HT this weekend!
PLEASE let me know what I can do to make the spreadsheets more user friendly. Sometimes once we have our own way of doing something, it is hard to see how others view it!
