I was sitting here this morning all snug in my jammies thinking I really need to get up and do something today. I have a $5RR that expires tomorrow and I have no idea what is on sale at Walgreens this week. I remember something about cheap gum and more toothpaste I don't need, plus the nose spray that could be a money maker if we had the $4/1, but of course we only got the $2/1. So I'll just do it when I get to my mom's tomorrow.
Of course as days go....nothing went as planned. Austin called and needed his jersey brought to school for pictures (again). So I told him to give me a few and I would be there. So in a rush to make my getting dressed worth while I threw together a quick shopping list.
First stop was the school. I was shocked when I dropped the clothes off with Austin that I got a kiss on my cheek & a "Love ya Mom" from my 14 year old. It's been a while since I have got a PDA from my son. Especially since we were in the hall of the school. That made my day right there.
Second stop was the bank. I deposited another $35.39 worth of rebate checks.
Third stop was Walgreens. I was VERY surprised to find the clearance gum. It was marked as $0.90 each, with the $1/2 coupon in the Walgreens monthly book. That would make them $0.40 each. Not a bad deal for gum. But when they rang up they were only .32 each. So with the coupon it took the entire total of all 6 packs off. WOO HOO!! Free gum. Do you know how quick teenage boys go thru gum? LOL!! Here is what I got.
2 boxes of nasal spray @9.98
1 tube of Colgate @ 3.99
6 packs of Eclipse Gum @ 1.92
Total $15.89-$5RR-$4(2 Nasal Spray $2/1)-$1 (Colgate $1/1)-$1.92(Walgreens $1/2)
Total OOP was $4.24 after tax
Got back $5RR & $4RR
Basically $0.24 for all of the above. Goes to show you that anytime things are Free after RR and you have a coupon to make it a money maker it is worth the trouble of getting it even if you don't need it. The overage from the coupon helped pay for the nasal spray which I did want.
Fourth and final stop was HT. A friend called me yesterday to tell me the local FL had the BOGO coupons for Kraft cheese which was on sale at HT for BOGO this week. This makes for FREE cheese (YMMV). I took my change and headed there. I feel bad going in there and just paying tax for something and purchasing nothing else. So I scanned the flyer when we walked in. Here is a list of what I got.
8 bags of shredded cheese (Free After Coupon & Sale)
3 bags of mission tortillas (FAC & Sale)
3 boxes of Barilla Pasta (FAC & Sale)
2.6 lbs of Shrimp (on sale and I have a rebate for $6 on $10 seafood purchase)
Total $62.92
After sales & coupons $13.28 plus I used $4 OYNO. So OOP I paid $9.28 after tax and I have a $6 rebate to submit. Pretty good $62.92 worth of food for $3.28.
