My plan for the $5 off $20 purchase Walgreens coupon

I went on record earlier this week and said that I'm not expecting a Walgreens coupon for this weekend - which must be why we've got another $5 off $20 purchase coupon that's good today and tomorrow only. The usual limitations apply.

I had planned to stop by Walgreens on my way home from work on Wednesday, but it didn't work out, and now I'm glad it didn't. Here's my plan - I just hope they have everything in stock!

3 Children's Tylenol @ $4.99 each - $14.97
4 Puffs tissue @ 89 cents each - $3.56 (weekly ad coupon says limit 2, but I've found my favorite store doesn't enforce the limit)
2 Keebler Sandies cookies - $5
Gillette Fusion razor (supposedly the gift packs are on sale and producing the RR) - $8.99
Lypsyl (this has been added online as a free-after-rebate item) - $1.99
L'Oreal Cleanser - $7.99
Lysol wipes - $3.99
Oral B toothbrush - $4.49
Total before coupons: $50.98

Coupons: 3 x $1.50 EasySaver coupon on Children's Tylenol, 3 x $1 any Tylenol (I'm hoping this will work on the Children's Tylenol, if it beeps, I have a $2 off 2 Children's Tylenol coupon that I can use instead), 4 x 25-cents Puffs, Puffs weekly ad coupon, 2 x 55-cents Keebler Sandies, $4 Gillette Fusion, $1 L'Oreal, 75-cents Oral B, $10 RR, $3 RR, $5/$20

Total after coupons: $17.63
And I'll receive the following Register Rewards: $5 + $2 for Tylenol ($5 for buying 3, apparently the machine also spits out $2 for buying 2), $4 for Gillette Fusion, $4.49 for Oral B (total of $17.49 RR).
I'll also receive the following rebates: $1.99 Lypsyl, $7.99 L'Oreal, $1 Lysol, plus 10% for putting it on my gift card (total of $12.08 in rebates).

My alternative scenario in case the toothbrush is out of stock - which seems likely - involves purchasing a free-after-rebate pack of Extreme Energy 6-Hour Shot for $3.99. But I'd rather have that toothbrush!

What's your plan?

My store was out of the L'Oreal free after rebate stuff, but it had plenty of toothbrushes! Good luck!

Oh by the way, my store has Quilted Northern plush 6 double roll pack for $4. With $1 coupon from easysaver and $1 coupon from recent sunday insert (maybe last week? or week before) they come out $2 a pack, which I thought was good.

I am nowhere near the expert you are though :)

What did you end up doing?
Walgreens has tken a back seat to Kmart this week. I am having too much fun doubling coupons there.

The Quilted Northern deal seems too good to pass up but I must contain myself. I have enough TP for a year.

@Mercedes - I wrote about my trip over at CFO Reviews. I thought about going again today but I don't think I'm going to have time. You have to write about your Kmart deals - it sounds like you did really well!
