Saturday's Walgreen's Trip

And Lastly, we stopped into Walgreen's to roll my RR's onto some cheap tea, which we were down to our last box of.  I really wanted to take advantage of the Maalox deal, but they only had cherry, and Joe (the only one who uses that gross stuff) will only use the mint kind - Ugh!  Here's how it went down...
4 Walgreen's Cutlery (for Mom) $1 ea on Sale = 4/$4
3-100 ct boxes Nice! Tea Bags $2 ea on Sale = 3/$6 - $2 RR wyb $10 (included the plastic cutlery) = 3/$4!
1 Flurry Protein Bar $1.99 on Sale - $2 RR = FREE!
3 cans Campbell's Tomato Soup (for Mom) $1.59 ea - $0.90 ea in-ad Coupon = $0.69 ea or 3/$2.07
+ $0.24 Tax

Total OOP: $7.55, Earned $7 Cash and $4 RR's!

Saturday's CVS Trip

Joe and I stopped out to CVS for a prescription on Saturday, and since I had not gotten any of the deals yet for the week, I went ahead and picked up what I wanted that was left, before the sales changed.  Here's what we ended up with...
2 St Ives Body Washes + 1 St Ives Lotion $15.97 total - $5.80 Sale - $5 ECB wyb $10 = 3/$5.17 (about $1.72 ea!)

Total OOP: $19.39 - $14 Cash/ECB (includes $1 from my Green Bag Tag) = Net OOP: $5.39!

Last Wednesday's Giant Trip

I love Giant, but I very seldom get to go there, not that it is out of the way, it's just out of my way.  It's in a shopping center that I don't frequent all that much, but with our hot dog stash dwindling and an amazing deal on organic canned tomatoes, that was enough of a reason for me to stop.  This is what I ended up with...
2-lg cans Muir Glen Diced Tomatoes $2.59 ea- $0.59 ea Sale - $0.75/1 MC (no longer available) x 2, both doubled to $1.50 = 2/$1
2-8 ct pkgs Oscar Mayer Selects (with no nitrates or nitrites) $3.99 ea - BOGO Free Sale $3.99 = 2/$3.99, no coupon needed!
Total OOP: $13.16 - $8.17 Sales and Coupons/Doubles = $4.99!!!  Savings of 62%!
