Walgreens Plan of Attack: Better Deal on the Swiffers?

I may have found a better deal on the Swiffers, still at Walgreens just a different way to do the transactions to lower the (OOP) Out of Pocket.  No matter how I do it it's going to take a lot of transactions and I'm not looking forward to this trip.  I'm just not into the whole multiple transaction thing.

So included with the Swiffer refills on the Buy $10 get a $3RR are Mr Clean magic erasers for $2.50 and Downy liquid fabric softener for $3.99 (both also things we would use). I'm also planning to buy several of the Schick Xtreme 3 razor packages which are on sale for $5.99 (with a $3RR).  So here's my current transaction plan.

Transaction 1
4 Swiffer Refills @$4.49 = 17.96 -$8.98                         = $8.98
1 Schick Xtreme 4pk @$5.99-$1Q                                 = $4.99
                                                                                       = $13.97
- $4RR                                                                           = $9.97 (get $6RR)

Transaction 2
2 Swiffer Refills @ $4.49 - BOGO                                  =$4.49
1 Downy           @$3.99 -$1                                          =$2.99
                                                                                       =$7.48
-$3RR                                                                            =$4.48 (get $3RR)
   
Transaction 3
1 Schick Xtreme 4pk @$5.99-$1Q                                = $4.99
 - $3RR                                                                          = $1.99 (get $3RR)

Transaction 4
2 Swiffer Refills @ $4.49 - BOGO                                  =$4.49
1 Downy           @$3.99 -$1                                           =$2.99
                                                                                       =$7.48
-$3RR                                                                            =$4.48 (get $3RR)

Transaction 5
1 Schick Xtreme 4pk @$5.99-$1Q                                 = $4.99
 - $3RR                                                                           = $1.99 (get $3RR)

Transaction 6
2 Swiffer Refills @ $4.49 - BOGO                                  =$4.49
1 Mr. Clean @ $2.50- $1                                                =$1.50
                                                                                        =$5.99
              -$3RR                                                               =$2.99 (get $3RR)

Transaction 7
1 Schick Xtreme 4pk @$5.99-$1Q                                 = $4.99
 - $3RR                                                                           = $1.99 (get $3RR)


I keep looking at this thinking there has got to be a better way.  The OOP still seems so high. After tax it will be around $30, but I will come out with 4 packs of razors, 1 Mr Clean, 2 Downy & 10 Swiffer refills. So, when I think of it like that it still seems like a pretty good deal since that's less than $1.50 per item.
