Just so you know, I did pay $35.93 out of pocket for just the 7 razors. But for each one I got back a $6 register rewards, (I got $42.00 back in register rewards). ?I can use these on my next shopping trip at Walgreens or my local Albertsons,?they also take them. ?I will use my $42.00 register rewards this week

?instead of cash.

Q&A: ?Why did you pay cash for each razor, why didn’t you just use your register rewards from the razor you bought before? ?I paid for my razors with cash to get back my $6 register rewards for each item. If I bought a razor and then get one register reward back for $6 off on my next purchase then my next purchase (using that same register reward) has to be a completly different type of item for a “new register reward” to print out.?For example I could use a toothpaste register rewards on the razors, and then a “new register reward” for $6 would print out again. But I choose to save them and use them on items I need right now (at either Walgreens or Albertsons) that are not on sale. So yes I did spend money, $35.93, but I got back $42.00 in register rewards I can use at two different stores on what ever I want.
