Shopping Trip - Saved 81%

CVS: Go here and fill out a short survey to get a $5 off $25 purchase Q. I was very happy to see Coke products on sale again. Last week I had to pay $4 for a 12-pack and it nearly killed me. I bought 12 packs (2.50), dove soap (1.49). Snickers and makeup were FREE.

Regular Price: $42.03

OOP: $5.33 + 15.98 ECBs

Earned: 12.99 ECBs

Savings: $33.71 or 81%

Actual Cost: $8.32

WALGREENS: Be sure and check the front of your store for a Back-2-School Coupon Book with more than $50 in savings. These are store coupons which can be stacked with a mfg coupon. I bought V8 Fusion (2.50), lotion (0.99), Band-Aids (0.75), wipes (0.09), toothbrushes (FREE).

Also, Walgreens has their summer toys marked 75% off. I got a bubble machine for $2.50 and a 12 pack of sidewalk chalk for $0.50 (not included).

Regular Price: $69.89

OOP: $5.97 + 32.50 RR

Earned: 25 RR

Savings: $56.42 or 81%

Actual Cost: $13.47

GRAND TOTAL:

Regular Price: $111.92

Savings: $90.13 or 81%

Actual Cost: $21.79 ($5.22 remaining)

Side Note: I have been asked to be the "official shopper" for my daughter's school so some of the items above (wipes, Band-Aids) I will be reimbursed for.

Additional Side Note: My biggest deal of the week was not on groceries but on clothes. I bought a pair of Kenneth Cole shoes, 1 shirt by GAP, 2 shirts by Old Navy, 1 shirt by Self Esteem, a pair of Danskin athletic pants, and a book for just $21. Where can one find such a deal as mine.... well, Goodwill of course! They have specials every day of the week!

Shopping Trip - Saved 62%

This picture is Kroger and Publix combined. I bought biscuits (0.50), rice (0.25), Klondike (1.27), dog food (FREE), pizza (0.01), toilet paper (2.99), cheese singles (1.17), cheese shredded (0.66), tornados (1.00), pastries (0.15), chex mix (1.17), milk (3.35), skillet meal (3.75). I also grabbed some ibuprofen from the $ Tree (not pictured).

Note: My Publix told me today that they are no longer taking pharmacy competitor coupons and they reversed the double on my Chex Mix printables, so I think they are starting to crack down on coupons. Either way, I can still find good deals. I also picked up a new coupon booklet today called "Grilling Favorites."

Regular Price: 81.59

Savings: 50.60 or 62%

Actual Cost: 32.99

I will be hitting up Target, CVS & Walgreens tomorrow. I will sure be glad when school is back in and I can get back to my regular schedule. I feel like I am missing things because I have to rush.

Shopping Trip - Saved 74%

WALGREENS: They have extended the offer on the $5 off $25 coupon. You can get a new coupon here that is valid until Saturday 8/8. There were several deals that just didn't seem worth it until I was able to use this extra $5 off.

RR Earned: 22.50

Savings: $42.00 or 88%

CVS: I got all the school supplies in B'ham because these deals were only valid until Tuesday. All these items were FREE after ECBs and I paid around $1.50 in tax. However, I can't find my receipt to demonstrate the savings so I won't include this in my totals.

The second pic is my Nashville run at my favorite store. All of these items were free after coupons & ECBs. I just paid tax.

I also got a few things I wanted... cilantro (0.99), green onions (0.55), tortilla chips (1.00), jelly (1.69), dr. pepper (4.00 - my husband is dearly loved for this). Of course I grabbed a few sale items as well... tissue (0.58), bread sticks (0.99), kiwi (0.33), listerine (free).

Regular Price: $47.71

Savings: $21.77 or 46%

Actual Cost: $25.94
