Anyway, yesterday was a pretty good shopping trip for me! I went to Walmart, Walgreens, and Kroger.
Now, I know what you're thinking.....WALMART?! But, I had to go there to get a specific item, so while I was there I picked up a few cheap and/or free things!! I got FREE dental floss and tomoto paste and boxes of Gain fabric softener sheets for $0.12 each! Except for the fact that they were out of the cat food and Dial lotion that I wanted, I was pretty happy with that trip!
Total value of 10 items = $20.43
Total spent after coupons = $0.43! (98% savings!)
Now, on to Walgreens. I wasn't exactly sure how my trip was going to go there. I never know what they are still going to have in stock by the time I get there on Thursdays, so I usually write out my "dream transactions" and then have to readjust them once I'm in the store! My main goal was to get some inexpensive coffee and peanut butter, and I managed to do just that! I used overage on the Pedia Care along with 2 $1 coupons and a $1 RR to go towards the coffee (protein bars were free after coupons and Easter bag was a filler item - $0.27) and then used the $1 RR I got back from the coffee to go towards the peanut butter!
Total spent oop after sales and coupons = $2.56
Total savings = $26.27 (91%!)
Last, but not least, I went to Kroger. Now, I didn't have much of a trip planned for Kroger. In fact, most of the items on my list did not involve coupons at all. However, as I was loading digital coupons to my Kroger card from their website (I do this every week when I make my shopping list), I noticed some high value coupons for personal care and cleaning items that I knew I had paper coupons for also, so I decided to check them out while I was there. I've listed all the deals I found below. I don't know which inserts the paper coupons were from b/c they had already been cut out and were in my binder. But, if you have them and can head to Kroger today or tomorrow, you can get hopefully get some of these deals too! Here's what I ended up finding....

-used $4 paper coupon with $3 digital coupon to get it FREE!
