Easy Pumpkin Muffins Made with Cake Mix

I just found this and I am sooo gonna try it!!!

"It just doesn’t get any easier than this! These muffins are made with only two ingredients: a can of pumpkin puree and a box of cake mix. That’s it. You'll get a muffin that is absolutely delicious, and unbelievably moist! I couldn’t believe how gorgeous they were, too. I am big on food presentation, and these looked beautiful! Plus, they are low in fat, calories, and cholesterol, so they are definitely a healthier option than regular muffins. Easy, a better choice, and made in your kitchen–I’m in!

Walgreens Scenarios for 12/18!

Here are my Walgreens Shopping Scenarios for 12/18. I have two scenarios for you this week. One with (3) smaller transactions and one with (1) large transaction.

SCENARIO #1:  Get $22.96 in merchandise, spend $7.41 out of pocket and end up with $3 in Register Rewards. So, it’s like you are paying $4.41 for everything!

SCENARIO #2: Get $26.50 in merchandise, pay $15.50 out of pocket and end up with $10 in Register Rewards. So, it’s like you are paying $5.50 for everything!

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THESE TRANSACTIONS
-) You can’t have more MQ than items! Blue = MQ
-) You don’t have to do these in one day, just pick up where you left off.
-) I always bring some extra fillers with me to the register, in case of an emergency!

TRANSACTION #1 BUY
(1) Creme of Nature Foam Lotion, Replenishing Spray 7 or 11.25oz $5.99
Total = $5.99 (Get Back $5 RR Cream of Nature)
