CVS Walgreens and Walmart

Lucky me? I have been pretty sick this week. Sleeping or otherwise not up for shopping, but I was starting to get cabin fever and went out today to do some of the deals.

I started at CVS:

$.89 Powerade (for me since I was dehydrated)
$5.88 9 pack Charmin' Ultra
$2.99 Colgate Max Fresh toothpaste
$.62 pack of gum (the extrabucks put me in the negative so I had to grab something quick)

- $1/1 Colgate
- $4.00 Extrabucks
- $4.99 Extrabucks

= $.42 OOP
Received $2 back from Colgate and $1 back from the Charmin' = $3 EB

Then Walgreens:
$1.39 Propel water
$5.00 2 bottles of Pert Plus Medium
$1.82 huge box of tampons 75% off

- $1.39 Propel
= $7.21 OOP
(received $2 back in Register Rewards for the Pert Plus)

And then Walmart:

$6.00 2 24oz boxes of Frosted Mini Wheats
$6.47 1 Rimmel mascara

- $6.47 free Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara from All You Magazine
- $3.00 (from buy 1 get 1 free Frosted Mini Wheats Vocal Point Coupon)

= $3.39 OOP

Yesterday's Shopping Trips

I decided not to go to Safeway to use the $10 off $50 coupon. We are really well stocked on food, especially since my mother brought over an enormous pot of chicken soup which we are still trying to eat through (and there's another container in the freezer!). So, I've just picked up some odds and ends. Yesterday I was able to get a lot done.

At CVS I finally found the beauty book and there's also a magazine "reinventing beauty" with the beauty book in it plus other coupons for $.99 - so now I have 2 sets. I also bought some candy corn that was 90% off, and I spent $1.33 Oop.

At Costco I renewed our membership and also bought a large bottle of minced onion (we use a lot of minced onion and garlic): $3.30 Oop

At Walmart I picked up the following:
$18.97 Sterilite cart for the closet (obviously not part of the grocery budget)
$.92 lb macaroni
$.92 lb macaroni
$.60 Campbells cream of mushroom soup on roll back
$.60 Campbells cream of mushroom soup on roll back
$6.97 special muffin cups (also not part of grocery budget but I needed them)
$1.18 cornmeal
$2.98 Crisco vegetable oil on roll back

I used the rest of my Walmart giftcard that I've been working through and paid $5.10 Oop.

I also went to Target and picked up a muffin tin, a grey tank top (on clearance $2.48) and a dust buster which we have needed so badly! None are part of my grocery budget but I finished using my $100 Target giftcard and spent under $15 out of pocket after the giftcard was used up.

We also received our dehumidifier in the mail! Now that it's almost winter we shouldn't need to use it too much, but we generally don't have to turn on the AC when it's hot since we're on the first floor - but it gets really humid - but it should be helpful come spring or during warm days.

Out of pocket expenses towards grocery budget: $9.73
Running weekly tally: $16.29

Since I was unable to get the $1.49/12 poptarts at the Superfresh near the apartment, I went to one closer to work. Well, it was much nicer looking and was bigger - plus they had every pop tart ever made, including the frosted brown sugar ones. So, I was able to redeem my rain check before it expired in a week or so.

Superfresh:

4 12-pack pop tarts $6
= total $6 =)

Then I went to Walmart, since we needed more Canola oil, some Swiffer products and I needed hangers.

I bought 30 plastic hangers and 12 skirt hangers
1 Swiffer wet
1 Swiffer dry
Canola Oil

I spent $27, but I used a gift card, so technically it was $0.00 out of pocket.
