-$5.00 (5/25 coupon from store ad)
$22.52 due / $24.52 due without tylenol booklet + tax due
Pay this way:
-$5.00 RR From Transaction 1 Meter RR
-$5.00 RR From Transaction 2 Meter RR

Due: $12.52 / $14.52 + tax

Get back:
$10.00 RR Almay
$10.00 RR Tylenol/Benadryl
$3.00 Theraflu

Potentially if you have a 3rd meter coupon you could do another solitary meter transaction first thing (have $15 in RR at that point...then tack another .29 walgreens pocket tissue onto the order with the $5/25 coupon that would mean you'd have less OOP but you are still only getting back 23.00 in RR of course you will have spent less oop if that is your goal.

Ideally you would have 4 of the $5 RR's from the meters and your last transaction would look like this:

$46.10 due before MFG Qs applied
-$10.00 MFG Q's
$36.10 due before store coupons applied
-$8.00/$6.00 Store Coupons
$28.10/$30.10
-$5.00/25 coupon
$23.10/$25.10 due
-$20.00 RR ($5 for meters x 4)
$3.10+ tax due / $5.10 + tax due

And to be fair this is what you walk out with:
$23.00 in RR's
4 Bayer blood glucose meters
2 bottles of theraflu
1 container of foundation
4 Walgreens pocket tissues (or other suitably priced fillers)
2 bottles of tylenol cold
3 containers of benadryl
and including tax and everything you will likely spend less than $10

Anyone else have some awesome scenarios planned? I'd love to hear about them.
