There were more great shave gel razor deals and I had to visit the mall anyway, so I made a few trips.

and a One-A-Day Women’s Multivitamin Drink Mix – $1.49 – $1.49ESR = Free!
Paid for with RR earned last week on shave gel and chapstick so no OOP except taxes.

After the first target transaction, I just rolled the GC from the first transaction into the next one and kept doing that until I ran out of Gillette coupons. I now have a $5.00 GC to use on something I need to get from there.
Bottom line is that I got ALL this:
(4 Vitamin Waters, 4 Shave Gels, 4 razors, 3 toothpastes, 2 baby washes and a One-A-Day vitamin water packet)
For a grand total of $8.54!! How did you do this week?
