Tuesday Savings!

Wahoo! I am so excited! I couldn't wait to come home to tell you all about the deals I scored today. Okay, here is the breakdown. I went to three different stores. I went to Walgreens, Albertsons, and Rite-Aid (not orginally on my list until Tammy called me). Total spent was $8.87. Total saved, not calculating the Stacy's Pita Chips savings, was $43.87. I'll tell you why in a minute.

Walgreens

Frappucino X4 @ 2.19 each
Purex X2 B1G1 free @ 5.99
Kotex X3 @ 2.99 each
ChickOsticks X1 @ 0.65 (filler item) Remember you have to have more items than coupons at Walgreens.

Frappucino X4 1.00 coupons from here and Walgreens in-ad coupon 4 for $5= me paying $1 total
Purex B1G1 free from 2/21 RP = two free Purex for me (use the coupon for the one that you are "purchasing")
Kotex X3 1.00 coupons from here (Make sure you use zip 30002) = me paying 5.97 plus get a $5 reward back for buying 3. So, that is like paying a buck for three packs of Kotex.
Chick O Sticks= no coupon

Used a $4 reward that was going to be expiring this week.

Total spent at Walgreens= $4.92
Got back $5 Register Reward
Total Saved was $30.38

Albertsons

Oreo Cakesters 1 @ 2.99
Lucky Charms X2 at 2.50 each
Fructis Hairspray 1 @ 1.84

This is what I did here....

Oreo Cakesters coupon X1 @ 1.00 doubled to make it $2 off = me paying 0.99 (I don't think these are available anymore)
Lucky Charms coupon X1 @ 1.00 off of 2, doubled to make it 2.00 off of 2 = me paying 3.00
Fructis Hairspray coupon X1 @1.00 out of the past newpaper insert. May have been the 2/7 P&G insert, not sure though. Doubled it to make it 2.00 and had 0.16 overage.

Used 3.50 Catalina that we got back last weekend for buying 5 boxes of Fiber One Bars.

Total spent was $1.40. Total saved was $13.49!

Rite Aid

I wasn't even going to go to Rite Aid, but then my dear friend, Tammy, called me. She tells me they have Stacy's Pita Chips on clearance for 0.25, but they are ringing up at 0.20!!! What?!! So, I hop in my van and head on down to Rite-Aid on Argonne and sure enough. Right when you walk in the door, there they are. My family LOVES these and at 0.25 a bag, I WENT TO TOWN!! I picked up 10 bags. Yes, I left some for you too. She actually didn't scan mine, but just hand-put it in and put them in at 0.25, so I didn't get as good of a deal as Tammy, but I still got a great deal!

Stacy's Pita Chips X10 @ 0.25
Valentine Candy X1 @ 0.05

Total spent was $2.55

I am not sure how much I saved, as it was not scanned and I'm not sure it would have shown me, but I figure if they were around $3.99 a bag my savings would have been around $37. WOW!!!

I think I did AWESOME today!!! Good luck and definitely get out there to Walgreens and get your laundry soap, if you can.

Thanks and lots of luck!
