Notes from a mid-life wife and mother who likes running, knitting, cows, piano, and last but not least, coupons!
11/6/09 - My shopping trips to CVS, Publix, Target
CVS:
I bought:
2. The magic red coupon machine gave me a $3 off any Revlon earlier this week = -$3.00
3. Used -$1 off any Tide
4. Used $10 ECB from the iTunes GC deal last week
= $1.30 OOP ($.29 + $1.01 tax)
PUBLIX:
I bought:
Used:
$5/$30 Publix coupon from a mailer
$1 Target coupon on any Kelloggs cereal X 2
$.75/2 Ragu X 2
$.50 on Nestle morsels (wish I had a second one)
$.50/2 Select Harvest Soup
$2 Target coupon on the Tylenol
$1 Mfr coupon Tylenol
$1 any Hershey's Kisses
$.55 Publix Yogurt coupon
$1 Mfr yogurt coupon
$1 Target coupon on the apples
Total after coupons = $15.37 including tax.
Then I went to TARGET to get my actual groceries for the week. I also got some other items like plastic storage bins, 2 large and 1 small. I got a ton of stuff, so I'll highlight just the great deals:
TOTAL SPENT: $160
TOTAL SAVED: $61
I'm happy with that.
