great deals! I have a question though: you said you converted $50 in RR into a gift card- how did you do this? If I could do this too it would really help me out! Thanks!

anonymous- The first time I tried I went in with two $10 RRs and picked up two $10 Walgreens cards. I took them to the cashier and put down one RR per card. Worked. Then I went to another store and asked if I could reload cards and they added three in one transaction. I then went to the store down the street from me and they would not let me put them on a card. The asst. manager said the store manager prohibited it. I went back to the other store and put $50 RR on a card at one time. I just asked if I could reload a card I had and handed them all 5 RR.

Thanks for answering my question! I hope this works for me! Some of the Walgreens in my area are easier to deal with than others (paying with more than 1 RR...) so I hope they allow this! I had earned $80 RR yesterday and had to find things to spend them on before they expired :(. Until now, I thought the best way was to spend them on FAR items, essentially recouping the money onto a gift card. Your way is soo much more convenient! Thanks again!

Hi Southerner:

I apologize for contacting you by posting here, but I didn't seen an email address. I am writing a story on smart grocery store cost-cutting strategies for a magazine article and am looking for some southerners like you who might be willing to share some creative bargain-shopping ideas with me for the story. If you would be interested in doing a quick interview, could you please send me an email at jcollins@lexiconconsultinginc.com? Thanks very much!

you are amazing!
i can't even remember to give the lady my .50 coupons when i pay!! i am so disorganized.
i have a feeling if we traveled together in campers i would drive you crazy! :)
that's probably why you could live in a hotel for 8 weeks...you could get things organized and normal.
we would be in chaos until the 7th week where i would finally get a grip on it all.

I am going to HAVE to learn to save like that. You have a gift!!

Be blessed.
