More Deals This Week

Ok, I went shopping again this week as I finally had time to really go through the Walgreen's ad. I took the kids with me which was not a good idea! I could likely have saved a bit more money had I not had them with me as their screaming was making me rush at the checkout and not putting my transactions in the order I should have. Even at that I still got some really good deals!

Yes, some of the items are the same as from my earlier post, but they are things we use and at a good price, so I stocked up. I also purchased a few items for the Easter baskets. Here's what I got:

8 - 12 pks of Coke

10 - cans of chicken broth (I'll be making some soups to freeze in a couple weeks)

2 - 6 packs of Motts applesauce

3 pks Huggies

2 - 4oz tubes of Colgate

2 - Johnson's Buddies bar soap

1 Dry Idea Roll-on

1 bx of Walgreens Allergy meds (Comparable to Zyrtec)

1 bx Excedrin Menstrual

2 kites

1 set of Tattoos

1 water toy

1 light up squishy toy

And how much did I spend?

$28.85!

Not bad considering the diapers alone would normally cost me more than that!

Oh, I also got some of my FREE SAMPLES in the mail yesterday (trial size of Selsun Blue and 2 - 8oz cans of Enfamil formula)!

As you can see, this is mostly toiletries. I do still have some grocery shopping to do (I usually do not make this many shopping trips in one week).

Deals

Ok, I'm new to the CVS & Walgreens thing and I'm sure I'll get better at it, but I don't think I am doing too bad so far. I got a couple things last week for good prices, but this week I really put some time into figuring out the systems and think I did pretty good. I got all this for $31.76 (That's after the register rewards & ECB I have to use for next time). In addition to that I got 2 coupons for $2 off Pampers Swaddlers and 2 coupons for $5 off formula. This was a little higher than I would like it to be normally, but considering some big ticket items (diapers, coke) I'm pretty pleased. Not bad for a first attempt!

I got:

6 pks Huggies

4 - 12 pk Coke

3 bags of Chex Mix

3 bottle of shampoo

2 bottles of lotion

1 small mouthwash

1 small dish soap

1 deoderant

1 Renuzit Tri-scent

1 pack of gum

4 coupons

I plan to go back for more diapers and a few other things at Walgreens (I hadn't had time to really go through the ad) and a few things at CVS that the one store was out of stock on - hopefully the other store will have it. I'll post the other deals later this week, but so far - so good!
