Walgreens DD results

Today I stopped by Walgreens to carry out my two transactions, and this is what I have to show for it.  My total OOP was $39.59 on my rebates giftcard, with $22 back in RR and I should be getting $34.46 back via rebates.  My total return for these two transactions will be $56.46, so that's a profit of $16.87.  My estimated profit was $24.08 though, but a couple of unexpected things popped up.

I expected the chemistry hair care to be $7.99, but it turned out to be $9.99.  Same thing with the Lypsyl - I expected it to be $1.99, and instead it was $2.99.  I'm not sure how this will affect my rebates.  Depending on how they turn out, I might be returning these items.  Technically, they're still "free" after my $5/$20 coupon savings, but the truth of the fact is I just have too much of this stuff!

The St. Ives unadvertised RR deal turned out just fine, so I'm optimistic on the my invisible rebate items showing up as well.  I know for sure that the Lypsyl will show up since I've already purchased one, but that rebate came up for $2.99 and I'm not sure if I'll get $2.99 back for this one as well.  When they weren't invisible the Lypsyl had a value of $3.99. 

If non of the invisible rebate items show up, I will be taking the L'Oreal, Chemistry, Nivea, and Lypsyl right back to the store.  We'll see.

PROFIT OF $16.87 (not including 10% giftcard bonus)

Being paid $17 to take over $100 worth of stuff is a pretty sweet deal, but I have to admit that I am still disappointed with the DD days.  The only actual double-dipping that I'm doing is with the Lysol (this week's sale + November's rebate) - everything else was just a regular monthly rebate combined with weekly sales and a $/$$.  Don't get me wrong, it's a great run and a great time to go WAGging (yes, that's a technical term), but it's just not a DD day for the record books. 

Anyone else went double dipping today?  I'm interested to see what others have done with their $/$$ coupon!
