Shopping Trip - Saved 62%


WALGREENS & CVS: Free items were toothbrush, toothpaste, 8x10, pantiliners, reed diffuser. I also bought hair color (4.99), headbands (0.99), dryer bar (0.49), detergent (1.49). Not pictured is three 12 packs of Dr. Pepper from Wags. Oops, forgot those!

Regular Price: $65.80
OOP: $2.44 +25 RR + 9.99 ECBs
Earned: 10 RR + 8.99 ECBs
Savings: $47.36 or 72%
Actual Cost: $18.44

KROGER: Today was the last day of Super Doubles. I bought ice cream (1.33), diapers (5.27), milk (2.79), tornados (0.69), chicken nugges (1.40), pie (0.59), sour cream (1.00), soap (3.49), goldfish (1.00), Mac Grill Kit (1.49), veg oil (2.69), paper towels (0.50), ketchup (FREE), BBQ sauce (0.45), buns (1.00), grapes (0.99 lb), mango (0.68), bananas (0.59 lb), pork tenderloin (1.75), tortillas (0.69).

This is the 1st time I have done Super Doubles. I still think I like triples better, but this gave me a chance to buy high $ items that I don't typically like to buy but we still need. Dove soap and vegetable oil are an example of this. They are both WAY over my $2 comfort level. At least with SD's I can get them a little better in range.

Regular Price: $114.86
OOP: $47.55 + $3.50 Catalina
Savings: $63.81 or 56%
Actual Cost: $51.05

Grand Totals
Regular Price: $180.66
Saved: $111.17 or 62%
Actual Cost: $69.49

Notes: I am taking $12.34 off of my total because I bought diapers. This will come out of our gift budget since I have several baby showers coming up. Diapers make great gifts. What new mom is going to turn down diapers, right?

Weekly Total: $57.15. Looks like I have just enough left over to get my chocolate milk, yay! :)
