Back in the saddle

Hi everyone

I apologise for my lack of posts. Thank you to those who checked up on me. Life has just been crazy busy. BF & I are busy working on some big goals, so I've been working hard at downsizing my Ebay store, amongst other things. My silly computer has been acting up too. I mentioned before how I needed a new card reader to download photos. Well, I got one and tried it, but still had the same problems (not being able to download anything from my camera). After much searching, I learned that it's due to a software update. Many other users aren't able to access their photos app or download anything. I hate hiccups and I'm the type of person who will lose sleep to figure out and fix a problem 😂 I don't know if this is a good or bad thing 😂 Well, on Saturday I got a notification that the software updated. Then I was able to download pics from my camera without a card reader (Yay! I can just use the cable). That joy was short lived though. I tried to open my pics app to edit the photos, but I'm back at Square One - can't access anything 😡😡😡So, back to the drawing board I went. The software worked the next day again, so I was able to download & edit pics. Let's hope it keeps working. Our internet was also down for most of Saturday morning. It never rains...

I've been so busy that I haven't even done any drugstore shopping in about a month. Can you believe it? Well, I'm glad I quit RA, because I learned that they're closing all stores in our fine state, so there's really nothing left around here. I'm gonna miss all their free deals, but I'm so very thankful for that Duracell batteries I bought last year. 

I finally hit up Wags last week, because I have tons of points that I need to use and the deals were good. So here goes

Trans 1 & 2

2 x Dove b/w $14.0

2 x Crest t/p 8.00

2 x Dove shampoo 8.00

2 x Ganier shampoo 8.00

Less Dove b/w DQ (7.00)

Less Crest DQ (2.00)

Less Crest DQ (2.00)

Less Dove shampoo DQ (5.00)

Less Garnier DQ (3.00)

Less WC (20.00)

Tax 2.28

OOP $1.28

Earned $15 RR ($3 Dove b/w, $3 Crest, $5 Dove shampoo, $4 Garnier)

I did the same transaction twice (one on each account). 

I had boosters to use on both accounts (I would've added 2 other items to make it a free deal), but I didn't want to spend $30+ OOP per transaction. Why waste cash when I have oodles of points to use. 

Even if I didn't have WC to use, this would still have been a great transaction ($4 + tax) after earned rewards.

Breakdown

Number of items purchased: 19

Total Qs used : $38.00

Total Rewards used : $40.00

Total Rewards earned (RR, WC, Ibotta, Fetch): $30.00

Total OOP : $2.56 ($0.16 per item - this includes sales tax)

Total Retail value : $97.04 (excl tax)

I'm hoping to be back to regular blogging again. I also need to catch up on reading everyone's blogs.

Have a wonderful week peeps!
