Harper and I spent 3 hours this afternoon going to 4 stores: Walmart, Tom Thumb, Kroger, and Walgreens. Yes - my sweet little girl was a trooper the whole time even without a nap. She's awesome! In and out of the carts and car seat - she just giggled every time I picked her up, and laughed while entertaining the customers. She's such a joy.
I digress... 3 hours, 4 stores and (drum roll please)... We saved $115.07!!!!
I challeged myself with a $75 limit again this week and came away at exactly $77. Not too bad seeing as how the darned Walgreens register decided not to double all my coupons. grrr....
Here's the break down:
Total store membership savings (the cards you get for free and scan at the register) at Kroger and Tom Thumb (aka: Smiths and Vons elsewhere): $46.70
Total savings in Walgreens coupons and their sale items: $24.80
Total savings with manufacturer coupons: $43.57
I love shopping trips like today because the sales allowed me to really stock up on cleaning supplies and pantry and personal care items - all are things that store well.
Some of my favorite deals included Olay lotion regularly $7.99 for $0.99, Olay body wash regularly $7.99 for $1.99 and 2 Maybelline mascaras regularly $7.99 each for 1.99 for both.
Here's my loot:

You are TOTALLY inspiring! Way to go!
That is so cool. I have been challenging myself to save money by budgeting and so forth. One thing that has really helped, is when I go to the store, taking a calculator with me, so there are no surprises at the register.
