5/2 shopping trip to Walgreens and Walmart

So, I spent all morning yesterday clipping coupons, organizing and then printing lists for my shopping trip. I really didn't "need" anything but I looked for things that I would save 50% or more on so that I could only shop for my stock pile. I got up this morning and after dropping my oldest son off at school, I headed off to the store. My first stop was a Walgreens because they have some great deals this week with coupons. I get there and everything is gone! :( Talk about total bummer! These coupon people are no joke! I was so upset because I spent all this time on Sunday only to get to the store and everything is gone. So I decided that I am kicking it up a few notches! I am in total competition mode now! I only bought toothbrushes at Walgreens but I got a great deal. Colgate wave toothbrush $2.49, buy one get on free, coupon for .75$ off one. So I bought 4 toothbrushes and used 4 coupons (you can use one coupon for the item you are buying and one coupon for the item you are getting free) I bought $9.96 worth of toothbrushes and I ended up paying .49$ a toothbrush! :)

Then I went to Walmart and bought:
Ivory bar 3 count:  price .97$ coupon for $1.00 off. Final price: FREE!
Colgate toothpast:  price $1.74 coupon for .75$ off final price: .99$
Oral B cavity Defense Toothbrushes: price $1.50 coupon for $1.50 off 2 Final price .75$ a piece
Zest Soap bar 3 count: Price $1.98 coupon for $1.00 off Final price .98$

I bought $41.60 worth of stuff today and paid $14.36. I am more excited that I didn't spend over a dollar for any of these items!!

It's kind of hard to believe without coupons all this is $41.00. Your probably thinking, well why does she need so much soap or toothbrushes? Well, you always need soap. I have never tried the ivory before but I figured if I don't like it my kids can use it, they don't care what soap they use and neither do I as long as they are clean. and also, don't forget the fact that it was FREE!! YAY!
Toothbrushes...well, you always need a new toothbrush but I mainly got them because my husband gets called out sometimes for his job for natural disasters and things. I figured if we stock up on things he needs when he leaves he can always keep a bag packed and we won't have to go out at the last minute to buy these things.

So even though some things were picked over I still got some really great deals. So today was a really good day!
