Shopping trips!!!!

So my first stop was Rite Aid where I planned to do the diaper deal listed over on the Deals & Steals page. Of course nothing ever works out like it should and the eye drops that were suppose to be $6 was really $12. So I figured out some Easter stuff. I also learned that they will take the Video Value $5/20 AND the printable $3/15 on one transaction!! Woohoo!! I did 2 transactions..

Transaction # 1

Huggies $11.99
Easter candy/bucket- $7.36
Total- $19.35 (oops.....not quit $20...didn't notice that while I was there)

-3/15 RA Q
-5/20 RA Q
-2 Huggies Q
-2 RA Huggies Q

OOP: $7.97
Saved $12.00

Transaction #2

Huggies $11.99
Easter Candy/bucket- $6.66
Total- $18.65(dang! My math must have been off ugh)

-3/15 RA Q
-5/20 RA Q
-2 Huggies Q
-2 RA Huggies Q

OOP: $7.24
Saved $12.00
Meh..not the best but not bad and I got all the goodies for the Easter baskets!!

Next stop was CVS for paper towels (.29 per roll with the coupons! Thanks Bargain Bombshell for this deal) and sodas for hubby.


OOP $10.42
Saved $10.17
Not too bad for sodas!

And then Publix..I spent more than I think I have in any other trip. But $40 of that was the discounted gas card :) A $50 card for only $40 can't be passed up! Free gas!!! Woot woot!!



The cashier missed my Star Market $5/50 coupon but I'm cool with that because I also had a Rite Aid $5/20 coupon that I just now learned that they do take after I was told on my very first trip that they didn't!! So yay!! I'll be saving even more from now on!

Grand Total: $ 84.68 (- $40 gas card = $44.68)
Saved : $140.99
75% not including the gas card.

So there you go! That was our shopping adventures tonight...PS....if you happen to know the poor man that got stuck behind me in line tell him I said sorry. I had LOTS of coupons. lol

    You use other grocery store coupons at publix?

    Yes ma'am!! They take competitor coupons like Target/CVS etc. :) AND you can stack them with a manufacturers coupon!!! So a $2 product is free if you have a $1 Target Q and a $1 coupon out of the newspaper!!

    So the coupon booklet I get from Target I can use at publix? I'm so confused... Also, I'm never able to find a Sunday paper with coupons in them, other than subscribing to the Huntsville Times.

    Yes. You can use those at Publix! Cool, huh? lol. And I am really starting to believe that people take the coupons out of the papers at the store. Which is NOT cool. But I have heard from several people that the coupons weren't in there. I get one delivered and then I buy my extra inserts on ebay for usually around .25 per insert. Totally worth it!
