first shopping trips!

I was able to hit the stores yesterday and today. I went with my husband yesterday and my mom today. Yesterday we started out going to walgreens. I had a coupon to get body wash for .79 and some free floss and toothpaste. When I say free that includes using my coupons and some register rewards they give for your next purchase. They were out of women's bodywash but brad was able to get 2 men's bodywash. We got 1 free floss, 4 free things of toothpaste, five 12pks of coke product, .99 liquid hand soap, an airwick odor sensing freshioner for $3.49, and 6 mars candy for .39 ea. We paid a little over $25! We saved $50! I think that was a pretty good deal for our first try :) Next we went to Publix. We bought (2) 4pk of yoplait yogurt FREE, .50 cent parkay margarine, (2) steamfresh veggies for .40cents each, (2) kraft shredded cheese for .66 cents each, (2) FREE cans pineapple, (2) barilla pasta for .60cents each, (2) Duncan hines brownie mix for .60 cents, (2) cheerios $1.75ea, and finally a gallon of milk for $2.39. Paid $11.98! Saved $28.11! In total for the day, we spent $37.96 and saved $76.95! That's pretty awesome for all the things we got.


Today my mom wanted to go to the store with me because I found her coupons that would make her Greek yogurt .40 cents each! So I headed to Publix and Walgreens once again lol. Today my walgreens trip wasn't as great but still saved money. I got 3 free packs of scotch tape! Bought a pack of huggies diapers and 2 refill wet wipes. I had a coupon for $3 off and one for $2 off, well the $2 off didn't work. But I did get a $5 register reward good towards my next purchase. So after the R.R. and $3 off I spent $15 for the diapers and wipes. I bought some toothbrushes, they were suppose to be free after coupons. Well, they had the wrong item in the spot of the toothbrushes I needed. I didn't notice until I looked at my receipt that a paid $10 for 4! Holy cow! I will be taking those back tomorrow. Here's a warning for you to watch what is ringing up! I learned my lesson.
We then went to Publix. My mom got her Greek yogurt and some shredded cheese. I got two more 4pks of yoplait yogurt and two packs of shredded cheese, also two more steamed Veggie, and eight packs of pasta(.60ea)! I also got six different packs of Pillsbury crescent rolls etc and two packs sliced cheese. Paid $20, saved $30!
My shopping trips weren't perfect and I wish I saved more lol but I think I did pretty darn good. I'll try again next week!
