More Shopping!!

Walgreen's and CVS both have terrible deals this week. Had it not been for some store-issued money-off coupons I wouldn't have even gone. But, since I had Register Rewards (Walgreen's) and Extra Bucks (CVS) that were about to expire I figured I should find some way to spend them! See how they suck us in!!!!

Anyway, since those stores were so disappointing, I'm including my Kroger trip into this post. Here's a quick breakdown of what I got, just in case you don't get it all from the picture!

3 healthy choice dinners
5 yogurt
5 12-packs of diet coke
2 Quattro disposable three-packs
3 power toothbrushes
2 rolls of tape
2 Herbal Essence shampoo/conditioner
2 Almay mascara
2 pound package of strawberries
2 smuckers jams
3 powerade zero
3 packages of ground beef
1 Soy sauce
4 mighty dog can dog foods
2 bags of dog treats
1 Dozen Eggs (not in the picture)
1 box texas toast
1 cake mix
1 special K cereal (the big box!)
1 pilsbury cinnamon rolls
1 Downy





Now, for the part you're most interested in....the price. Right?

Well, for the items I got at walgreen's, I consider those free since I paid with my gift card that I got from the montly rebates. The mascara is a rebate item for November, so I'll be adding some money to my gift card for that.

I was supposed to have a $2 E-coupon on my Kroger card for the herbal essence shampoo, but that didn't work. So, I overpaid $2 on that deal. The real killer is that I was only getting that shampoo because that $2 coupon was going to make it FREE. The last thing I need is more shampoo, especially shampoo that I have to actually PAY for.

And, finally, I took advantage of a fabulous glade promotion last time I was at Kroger that gave me some nice coupons to apply to my purchases today. $16 worth of coupons if you'd like me to be specific.

So, with all those disclaimers aside, I spent a grand total of $12.51, even with the shampoo.


Happy Shopping!!
