Its a rainy Monday morning and while everyone wants to stay inside I dropped the kids off at school early and Red and I headed in to town to see what kind of deals we could find.
Stop #1 had to pick up a prescription at Walgreens so thats a good enough reason to go in and check out what is on clearance or deals... I had a $1 coupon from last week that needed to be used, I didnt find much I was really looking for FABULOUS deals.
But I found some Fructius Conditioner just one type was on clearance for $1.99 so I had to grab up those 2 bottles knowing I had $1 on 1 Manufacturers Coupons to use also. Then I needed a filler to use that $1 Walgreens Coupon so I threw in a Cruch cany bar since they were 39 cents this week.
My subtotal after coupons a whooping $1.37 plus tax!! For 2 conditioners and a candy bar, not a large shopping trip but a good deal never the less.
Stop#2 Walmart ... so I really dont care to shop at Walmart but we were waiting on my mil an so there was time to kill and I wanted to see if any of the Halloween had been further marked down .. the 50% off seasonal sales dont cut it with me. Lo and behold its down to 75% .. ideally I buy at 90% off unless its something I know wont last.
So my Walmart trip included 2 Litttle Purple Pails very cute for gifts or something - clearanced down to 24 cents, a Halloween tee for Hannah it was $1.22 on clearance, 2 cans of diced tomatoes normally 87 cents but used a $1 off 2 then 2 bags of fruit puffed marshmallows for 1.25 each and 50 cents coupons.
My cost was $4.44 before tax.
Then we ran in Schnucks and met my MIL since I was there I figrured the specials were worth looking at.
I got 6 boxes of Barilla Pasta, on sale for $1 each some whole grain some reg. I had 2 coupons on the grain ones that were save $1/2
I got their meal deal for the week, you purchase an eckerich saususge and you get a FREE bag of frozen veggies, browie mix by betty crocker and a side dish of butter noodles. The sausage was overpriced in my opinion at $4.19, however I had a $1 MC and a $1 Schnucks catalina from last week so essentially making that sausage $2.19 and everything else free so I can handle that.
I then purchased 2 things of Tony C rice mixtures they were normally $2.65 but clearanced for $1 each and 2 things of Chicken Rice that was $1 a piece since Red loves chicken rice.
I also purchased 2 Boxes of Betty Crocker potato mixes on sale for $1 and used $1/2 MC.
My final cost came to $12.44 before tax!
With Red with my MIL I made one last stop at Kmart.
Box of Reynolds Crock pot Liners $2.19 used $1 coupon that doubled to $2 so 19 cents cost but this was actually my friend Carlas she met me at Kmart to learn a few pointers ..
Woolite Pet Carpet Cleaner $3.99 used a $1 Kmart coupon from the Holida Savings Book and a $1 MC coupon that doubled to $2, so 99 cents was a DEAL!!!\
1 Box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch used a 50 cents coupon doubled to $1 they were 2.50 so $1.50
Purex Laundry Pods sale for $3.50 used $1 MC doubled to $2 cost $1.50
409 Carpert Cleaner $2.50 I didnt have any coupons for this but we needed some and thats a decent price
2 Snack Boxes of Teddy Grahams or Cookies they were $4 a box great for kids lunches
1 Carton of Eggs - this is their Free item of the week so I had to take it valued at 1.99
2 2 Liters of Dr Pepper and Diet Dr Pepper on sale for $1 had a $1/2 MC that doubled to $2 so these were Free I am not really a Dr Pepper fan but if I am deseperate I might drink it plus holidays are coming up and other events I can use at ... Ill probably just have out at my pinterest party in a few weeks :)
Then I had a $10 P& G Coupon to use. so drum roll please.... $4.68 after coupons and before tax!!
So fr roughly $23/24 when all was said and done with tax I did pretty good on this mornings quick deal ventures!!
