Lovin' Walgreens this week!

While most things I got at Walgreens this week weren't free, I did get some pretty good deals. I stopped by Thursday and did 3 transactions, for a total of $13.98. I started with $6 RR and ended with none. However, I did run back in tonight and grab 3 boxes of Splenda with Fiber, used (3) $3.00 coupons so I got them free and got back $4 RR. So... I do have RR to start with next time. :)

Walmart - Paid tax only!

I was very happy when I stopped by the Mayfield Walmart one morning and discovered they did, in fact, have Nivea Body Wash for $3.00. I used my coupons and my mom gave me hers, for 18¢ (tax only) per bottle, I thought it was a pretty good deal!

CVS this week

I started with $7 EB from the Physician's Formula deal. The first thing I did was the Airwick Deal.

Then Thursday I ran in to grab Smartwater for hubby & son and use my freebie coupons from this week. It was amazing to me that I had 3 freebies from them in one week! Also splurged on soft drinks & Reese's cause I'd just picked son up at school and we still had an errand that involved us being in the car for over an hour. And REALLY splurged and bought myself a DIY magazine I wanted!

I did run in CVS during the week to get a couple gallons of milk so I spent another $5.98 then.

I also used a $2.00 catalina from Pedigree.

Spent a total of $34.53 which was more than I had planned, but since I bought meat for 5 meals (wasn't planning that for this trip) I'm okay with it.

I stopped at Walmart this week...

Very briefly, for dog food. It's so hard to get really good deals on dry dog food. We used to use Ol' Yeller from Kroger, but the price went up and our dogs really don't seem to like it as well, so we're buying more Ol' Roy from Walmart. When I was in the dog food aisle, I noticed there were bonus size bags of Purina Dog Chow & I had a coupon, so the price was really close to the Ol' Roy. I asked the hubby and he said to get the Dog Chow.

48.1 lb bag Purina Dog Chow, $20.97
used $2.00 (? I think) printable

1 (9 oz) container Hillshire Farms Brown Sugar Ham (we love this stuff) $3.28
used $1.00 printable

Can't find my receipt, but by my calculations, that should come out to $22.51 total (including $1.26 tax). I hate what dog food costs! But I love my doggies :)

It's been a slow shopping week!

That's a good thing, because that means I haven't spent a lot this week! Had to stop at CVS on Wednesday and grab a couple gallons of milk. Spent $4.98 on milk and a couple dollars on stuff I found on clearance for my hubby.

I also ran to CVS & Big John's last Saturday. Big John's to get some ground beef because I saw on Mandy's Frugal Journey that they had it on sale. Also grabbed some ketchup & bananas, spend $12 and change (can't find receipt LOL).

Went to CVS to take advantage of the Physician's Formula EB deal. I was one of the people who tried for a free sample a month or two ago, but received a $5 coupon instead. So here's the breakdown of my CVS receipt.

1 Physician's Formula Eyeliner $7.49
- $5.00 Mfg coupon
-$1.50 EB
+ .36 tax

Total OOP $1.35

Got back $7 EB - Gotta love transactions like this!
